Chapter 547
Balfour was looking at Ellinor with an unwavering gaze that was full of seriousness.
“Ellinor, cut the crap! Given the circumstances, there’s no point in playing your little games. No one’s buying what you’re selling anymore!
Ellinor calmly faced Balfour, “Mr. Howard, don’t you find the allegations the waiter has against me a little bit fishy?”
Balfour frowned, “Then why would a waiter who had no beef with you before try to frame you out of the blue?”
Ellinor was disdainful of Balfour’s irrational behavior whenever his sister was involved and gave a sarcastic laugh.
“Mr. Howard, do you think it’s possible that the waiter injured your nephew and is trying to pin the blame on me to save his own skin? And he’s the one who took the memory card? Maybe he was trying to wipe out evidence of his own wrongdoing.
The money in his account was unsigned. Could it be that someone else transferred it to him?”
As she said the last sentence, she cast a meaningful look at Patricia.
Patricia looked wronged and clung to her brother nervously, “Why is Ellinor looking at me like that? I haven’t done anything to upset her.”
To shield his sister from Ellinor’s intimidating attitude, Balfour pulled Patricia into his arms, patted her shoulder comfortingly, and glared at Ellinor.
“Ellinor, if you put all these smarts to good use, I bet you’d be a real whiz. But right now, you’re out of options. Either turn yourself in, or I’ll call the cops. Your
choice”
“Wait till you realize you’re barking up the wrong tree, I choose to clear my own name!” Ellinor rolled her eyes, having lost her patience with Balfour
She walked up, rudely pushed aside Balfour and Patricia, who were blocking her way, and strutted towards the restaurant’s counter, where the engineer was still sitting in front of the computer. She waved at him, saying, “Get up. I need to do some digging
The engineer felt the pressure as the strong–willed woman approached, but he couldn’t allow her to tamper with the surveillance system, so he looked up to his boss for instructions.
Balfour, who was just pushed aside, looked unhappy. He thought for a moment, then nodded, signaling his subordinate to get up and let her investigate.
Let’s see what Ellinor could dig up. Was she really not giving up until the last minute?
With the boss’s permission, the engineer finally got up and made way for Ellinor.
Ellinor sat at the computer desk and began to check the surveillance footage.
The memory card from the private room’s surveillance was missing, but the surveillance from other angles in the restaurant was fine.
Patricia and Gavin’s statements were very consistent, indicating that they must have had contact. The most likely scenario was that they had a conversation after Patricia came out of the restroom.
As long as she could find this video, it would prove that the person colluding with the waiter, Gavin, was not her, but Patricia!
