ere were too many flaws in what Joey was saying. Olivia frowned alightly, irritated, and she wanted to

refute.

However, Olivia quickly followed Joey’s gaze and saw Daniel.

Why is he here?‘ Olivia wondered.

Olivia’s expression froze, and she instantly suppressed her words. Olivia could not let herself be

recognized by Daniel. The more Olivia said, the easier it would be for her to expose herself. Therefore,

she did not refute Joey’s words. Olivia only said, “Are you primitive people? Instead of saying empty

words, aren’t you going to check the surveillance cameras?”

As soon as Olivia finished speaking, the manager’s face immediately turned pale. He stammered,

“The… the surveillance cameras are spoilt…” “How could they be spoilt?” Dolph frowned. Dolph

wanted to beat up the manager. It was fine if there was such a big mistake, but they didn’t even have

surveillance cameras. “What exactly happened? Tell me everything in detail.”

The manager trembled. “I asked someone to go and get a copy of the surveillance footage just now,

but for some reason, the video was destroyed. Today’s footage can’t be viewed at all.”

“Can’t it be recovered?”

“No.” The manager shook his head. “The surveillance footage is very damaged. At present, no one can

recover it unless it’s the world’s top hacker.

The world’s top hacker was a legendary existence. Besides, none of the four families knew such a

person. Even if they did, there was no need to trouble, someone of such a high status over such a

small matter.

Everyone was silent.

The atmosphere was stuck for a

moment.

Now that the surveillance camera was damaged, there was no evidence to prove that Olivia was

innocent, but at the same time, there was no evidence to prove that she was the one who did it either.

Although Joey had given a lot of reasons previously that seemed to be very convincing, they couldn’t

just use Joey’s story as evidence of Olivia’s

Mood quietly on the spot. Olivia could restore the footage, but she do it so openly either.

the past few days, Olivia had discovered that Daniel treated her ently Although Daniel did not exactly

recognize her, perhaps because of telepathy, Daniel seemed to be especially patient with Olivia. Olivia

revealed a little more, Daniel would definitely recognize her. Therefore, Olivia stayed where she was

quietly and did not say a word. When Daniel arrived, he stood silently at the door. However, as time

passed, more and more people realized he was there. A few elders welcomed him warmly and said in

a fawning tone, “Why are you here? Quick, take a seat!”

Braeden’s reaction was the fastest. Braeden immediately gave up the center seat and got someone to

bring a chair over.

Daniel sat down comfortably. Daniel glanced around and saw Olivia still standing where she had been

originally.

Daniel frowned imperceptibly and said quietly, “Get more chairs. All of you, sit. Don’t stand around me.”

Braeden was like a little servant, treating Daniel’s words as an important. order. Braeden hurriedly

waved his hand. “Quick, bring chairs over and sit down. The rest of you can leave.”

Even the host, Dolph, could not react as fast as Braeden.

The chairs assigned to Olivia were made of solid wood. They were a little. hard, but it wasn’t that bad.

Only Daniel and Ellis were given sofa chairs. The others had hard wooden chairs. Some of them even

sat on small stools.

Olivia held onto the chair and as she sat down, Ellis spoke with a troubled expression. “Miss Saintess,

my lumbar spine is not good so I can’t sit on a soft chair. Can you switch with me?”

Change chairs?‘ Oliva thought.

Olivia blinked.

However, before Olivia could respond, Braeden, who was beside Olivia, heard what Ellis had said and

interrupted, “Ellis, you have a bad back? I’ll get you a special chair.”

Ellis was speechless.

gaze swept over indifferently. Braeden suddenly felt like he was stared at by a ferocious beast and felt

terrible.

eden’s body stiffened, and he did not dare to look back for a long ne By the time he reacted again, Ellis

had already changed chairs with? Berry

In the entire backstage room, there were only two identical sofa chairs. Of these two chairs, one was

occupied by Daniel, and the other wast occupied by Olivia.

In an instant, the two of them stood out.

Joey looked at all of this and bit her lower lip, feeling a little indignant.

What right did Saintess Flores have? She was just an ugly woman. How could she be worthy of sitting

in a similar chair as Daniel?‘ Joey thought. Joey couldn’t help but speak, “Saintess, you’re really

shameless. You’re still sitting there like this now? Aren’t you ashamed that you killed Lucy’s voodoo

worm?”

“Hearing Joey’s accusation again, Olivia was not angry. In fact, there was no anger on Olivia’s face at

all. Olivia raised her eyes slightly and said. slowly,” Miss Sprout, if you have evidence, take it out. If not,

stop it. Just because you raise your voice, it doesn’t mean you’re right.”“”

“You’re still not admitting it!” Joey’s face turned red in anger.

Joey was only in her early 20s and was still young. Moreover, Joey had been handpicked by the Sprout

family, so her looks were naturally. op–notch.

oey seemed to be extremely aggrieved. Joey puffed up her cheeks and ooked at Daniel with watery

eyes. “Daniel, please say something in airness. How can there be such a bad person like Saintess? It’s

fine if she’s ealous of Lucy, but she even harmed Lucy’s voodoo worm. She’s too vil!”

When facing Daniel, Joey was not aggressive. Instead, Joey looked like at itiful and cute little girl who

had been wronged.

You’re saying Saintess is jealous of Lucy, and that’s why she killed Lucy’s. oodoo worm?” Daniel

asked.

Daniel sat on the chair, and the sunlight shining through the window. inded on his well–defined side

profile, making him look like a God.

bey was stunned for a moment. When Joey came back to her senses, ice turned even redder.

heart was pounding.

Does Daniel believe me?‘ Joey wondered.

happy and excited. Joey tried her best to control the expression on her face so that she could show her

most beautiful appearance. Jory lowered her head and raised her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered like

butterflies flapping their wings. “Yes, that’s right. Saintess Flores was worried that Lucy would be in the

limelight in today’s Voodoo Worm Competition and steal your attention, so she killed the voodoo worm.”

“Oh.” Daniel nodded. “I understand. This reason is sufficient. From what you said, it was indeed caused

by jealousy.”

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Daniel in

surprise. They had not expected him to agree with this reason.

“Daniel…” Braeden spoke. “You also think that the Saintess Flores caused the death of the voodoo

worm?”

“How is that possible?” Daniel said casually. “If it’s jealousy, it should be Miss Sprout. She was jealous

of Miss Lopez and caused the death of the voodoo worm!”

Hearing this, Joey was dumbfounded. Joey’s temples throbbed, and her mind went blank. “Dan…

Daniel… What are you talking about?”

“Can’t you hear me?” Daniel chuckled. “I said you were jealous of Lucy and killed her voodoo worm!”

“Moreover, it’s not just that.” Daniel waved his hand. Daniel’s tone was extremely cold, and there

seemed to be a faint vindictive aura as he spoke. “In Maple Villa, I heard you say with my own ears that

you wanted to kill Lucy’s voodoo worm, frame Saintess, and even murder Miss Dale.” ‘You’re talking

nonsense!” Joey broke down. Joey stood up and shouted, “I didn’t! I didn’t say all that! That’s just your

side of the story. I never said hose things. You’re lying!”

Is that so?” Daniel asked calmly. His tone was light. “Since I can’t convict you just because of my one–

sided story, what right do you have to convict Saintess?”

Only God knew how much restraint Daniel had used to not throw Joey ut to the wolves.

This bitch bullied Livy. Even dying ten thousand times would not be nough.‘ Daniel thought.
