Chapter 1307 Shermaine was still hiding behind Odell.
Sylvia heaved a long, tired sigh and addressed Odell,” Odell, Charles and I are colleagues. All of us have known him
for a long time and know what kind of person he is. He‘d never do something like that.”
“How long have you known each other?” he asked sharply.
Sylvia answered sternly, “More than two years.”
“I‘ve known Shermaine for more than two years as well,” Odell answered.
Sylvia felt something catch in her throat as the color was drained from her face.
He... Was he so determined to defend Shermaine?
She felt a surge of anger rush up to her head and spoke without further consideration, “Don‘t you believe me? Do
you think I‘m lying to you?”

Everyone had become silent spectators by this point.
Charles, Christopher, and the teachers present were silently gazing at Sylvia and Odell.
Shermaine and the surrounding men did not dare to utter a word either. They felt as if they were at a court
hearing.

The silence was overbearing and lasted for several seconds.
Odell finally spoke, “Cliff, contact the hotel manager and get them to review the surveillance footage for us.”
Cliff sprang to action.
Sylvia seemed relieved by this wise decision. Still, she was deeply bothered by the sight of Shermaine using Odell as
his protection.
Charles, Christopher, and the others were all relieved.
The surveillance footage would be the fairest judge of them all. The liar would be exposed and brought to justice.

A strange look appeared in Shermaine‘s eyes but she did a good job at playing it naturally.
The men in suits who were standing behind Odell seemed pleased with this solution as well. They were all looking
forward to what the final verdict would be after the surveillance footage was reviewed.
– Nobody spoke.
Sylvia glared at Odell discontentedly.
Odell returned the same look. He was just as bothered by how she was adamantly on Charles‘ side.
After a while, Cliff arrived with the hotel manager.
Sylvia turned to the hotel manager with an expectant look in her eyes.

The manager slowly waddled to Odell and spoke in an embarrassed and apologetic tone, “Master Carter, I‘m very
sorry about this. We just removed the surveillance cameras from this corridor two days ago because it
malfunctioned. The new cameras aren‘t installed yet.”
Sylvia frowned.
Charles snapped. “You dare to call yourself a five–star hotel? Why didn‘t you fix the new surveillance cameras
immediately?!”
All the manager could do was bow his head repeatedly and apologize profusely for the inconvenience caused.
Hiding behind Odell, Shermaine was doing her best to not break out into a smug grin. She had noticed that the
surveillance cameras were missing from the very beginning. That was the reason she was so confident with her
ploys in the first place. She was no fool.
She immediately seized the chance and stepped forward to confront Charles, “What are you so upset about? Didn‘t
you molest me because you know there were no surveillance cameras?”
The men behind her caused an uproar. “That‘s right! Drop the act and confess already!”
