Chapter 78
Chapter 78:
Then she looked at Rupert and asked, “Mr. Benton, am I right p>
Rupert raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.
As far as he could see, it seemed Annabel did have some evidence.
His fiancée was getting more and more interesting.
Rupert had asked Finley to investigate the matter, but now it looked as if it would no longer be necessary.
He would simply let Annabel handle it.
But there was one strange question nagging at his mind. Why did Nina do such a thing?
Though Nina was a little arrogant and domineering sometimes, she had always done her work well. Why would she do something that would damage the company’s interests just to frame Annabel?
What was more, she was the director of the secretarial department. If something bad was attributed to Annabel, Nina would be seen as a poor supervisor, and it would do her career no good.
Seeing that Rupert had no objection to her move, Annabel cleared her throat and said, “Let’s get to the point. Now that I’ve narrowed down the timeframe when the drawings must have been stolen, I just need to check the surveillance footage during that timeframe to know who did it p>
But Nina quickly screamed, “But the surveillance camera is broken, isn’t it p>
“Oh, is it? It seems you pay much attention to such trifles,” Annabel sneered.
Truly, the surveillance camera set in Annabel’s office happened to be broken the previous day.
Of course, she knew why the surveillance camera was broken. Nina didn’t want to leave any evidence that would show how she stole the drawings.
Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Nina quickly tried to explain, “I don’t know anything about it. I only heard it from others p>
“But did you also hear that the surveillance camera has been repaired?” Annabel asked with a smile.
She had secretly asked someone to fix the surveillance camera so that Nina would walk into the trap unawares.

“Really?” Nina asked in surprise, her voice trembling slightly. She had damaged the camera the previous day. How could it have been repaired so quickly?
Rupert narrowed his sharp eyes and ordered Finley, “Go and get the surveillance footage p>
“Yes, sir.” Finley nodded and left.
Soon after, he came back with a copy of the surveillance footage of the period during which Annabel was at the airport.
“Mr. Benton, I’ve gotten it,” Finley said, handing the USB drive to Rupert.
Rupert took it, leaned back in his chair, and narrowed his eyes.
What could be in the surveillance footage?
After turning the drive in his hand for a while, he dropped it on the table and said indifferently, “Play it p>
“Yes, sir,” Finley replied and quickly went to turn on the computer and projector. Then he inserted the USB drive and played it.
Nina wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and kept trying to comfort herself.
Even though they had gotten the surveillance footage, so what?
She hadn’t replaced the drawings herself.
She had made the perfect arrangement, and Annabel would not be able to link anything to her.
