Chapter 79:
The surveillance footage started with Annabel sorting out her folders. She took out the drawings from a folder and carefully checked them.
It could be seen clearly that Annabel was holding the drawings, not blank sheets of paper.
After checking them, Annabel put the drawings back into the folder and placed the folder in the drawer. Then she stood up and left for the airport.
No one went near Annabel’s desk until noon, which was lunchtime. All the staff in the building went to the cafeteria, and there was no one in the offices.
Just then, a middle-aged woman in a cleaner’s uniform walked into Annabel’s office with her cleaning materials in her hands.
She tiptoed to Annabel’s desk and looked around to see if there was anyone. When she saw there was no one, she opened the drawer, took out the drawings from the folder, and put a few blank sheets in it.
“It seems the cleaner was the one who did it,” Nina said, relieved.
Now that they had checked the surveillance footage and seen who did it, Nina believed she would be able to get rid of the suspicion on her.
The cleaner had taken her money. She should be hiding in the countryside by now. Nina was eager to see Annabel make a fool of herself.
“Annabel, you slandered me, claiming that I stole the drawings. Now you’ve checked the surveillance footage and it turns out that it was not me,” Nina pointed out, her pride and arrogance now back in full. “You accused me in public. Shouldn’t you apologize to me p>
“Hold on,” Annabel said, gesturing for Finley to stop the footage. “Yes, we’ve all seen it. It was the cleaner, Talia, who replaced the drawings. But why did she do that? What good would it do her p>
“You can find her and ask her about it,” Nina quipped, confident that Annabel couldn’t find Talia.
With a frown, Rupert promptly gestured for Finley to set out to find Talia.
Finley quickly made a phone call. Then he told Rupert, “Talia resigned at one o’clock this afternoon p>
At one o’clock?

That was after she replaced the drawings.
She resigned as soon as she replaced them, which meant that everything was premeditated.
“Investigate and make sure you find her!” Rupert ordered in an icy tone.
But Annabel smiled and shook her head. “Don’t bother. I’ll ask Talia to come here right away. Then the truth will be revealed p>
“What?” Rupert asked in surprise.
Annabel brought out her phone and dialed a number. Then she said into the phone, “Talia, you can come here now. Yes, the conference room on the eighteenth floor p>
Nina began to panic. How could Annabel have Talia’s phone number? Why would she call Talia to come here at such a moment? Could it be p>
No, it was impossible! Perhaps Annabel was just trying to bluff.
Nina knew she could not afford to panic and lose her cool. She just had to try to calm down.
Ten minutes later, the middle-aged woman in a cleaner’s uniform appeared at the door of the conference room. It was none other than Talia.
“Talia, please come in,” Annabel said with a nod, beckoning for her to step in.
Talia looked a little nervous, but nevertheless, she walked in.
The moment Nina saw Talia, her face turned pale.
