Chapter 929 Abnormality She stared at Dennis, "You're framing me!" Dennis seemed disdainful to argue with her and withdrew his gaze, "Facts speak louder than words!" Lydia trembled with anger.
Meanwhile, the video on the screen continued to play. The figure walked in, pulled out a set of keys from his pocket, and deftly opened the drawer in the office. He took out a design book from inside and quickly took a photo of it with his phone.
And that design book was none other than the one being held by several deputy deans at the moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this point, the whole conference room was in an uproar.
Alina sneered, pointing at Lydia's nose, "Lydia, the fact is right in front of you, how else can you argue?" Lydia shook her head, her eyes turning red. "It's not me! | never went into Dennis’ workshop in the middle of the night, nor did | take any pictures!" "Not you? Then who was it?" Alina retorted loudly, sneering again and again. "Does our research department have another person who looks exactly like you?" Lydia's mouth moved, unable to answer the question, only repeating, "It wasn't me... you're framing me!" "The fact is right in front of you. How dare you say that Dennis is framing you, Lydia? How could you be so cheap?" Alina looked contemptuous, "You were dating Dennis before, and only you had access to the key to Dennis' office in the entire research department!" "More importantly..." Alina pointed to the ton the video, questioning arrogantly, "This was half a year ago, and you had just started dating Dennis. How could you have given him your so-called most precious design book at that time?" Under the opponent's relentless questioning, Lydia's face turned blue, unable to defend herself, and could only repeat, "It wasn't me... it wasn't me..." "And half a year ago, that design book was locked in Dennis' drawer, and there's surveillance footage of Lydia breaking in to steal it..." Alina hugged her arms, her face full of cold contempt, "Fellow teachers, doesn't this prove the problem?" All the academicians present darkened their faces in an instant, and turned their angry eyes towards Lydia.
“Lydia!” "What a disgraceful thing! She has completely disgraced the Turner family!" "She just said she wanted to prove herself with her own ability, but that ability is probably stolen!" "Stealing for six months... what's the point of recording all the data?" "She looks so obedient on the surface, but what kind of person is she really?" Because Dennis presented a video, which was equivalent to ironclad evidence, most people had almost no doubt and thinking, and directly nailed the charge of theft on Lydia.
Countless doubts and curses cat Lydia like a deluge, causing her face to turn pale and her body to tremble with pain and despair. Seeing her miserable appearance, Dennis couldn't help feeling a sense of pleasure and cruelty. After enjoying it for a while, he took another step forward.
"Since Miss Lydia said she wants to prove herself with her strength, | naturally cannot be an exception. In order to prove my innocence, please askany questions, esteemed teachers!" As soon as he spoke, the group from the research department immediately stopped attacking Lydia and began to support Dennis instead.
At the main seat, several vice deans exchanged glances, and one of them took the design book and began to ask questions.
Dennis confidently answered each question thrown his way, impressing the vice deans with his knowledge. After three rounds of questioning, the book was handed back without being passed to a fourth person.
The last vice dean to ask a question was from the Shaw family, who praised Dennis and commented, "The research department has a bright future." This casual remark affirmed Dennis’ ability and successfully framed Lydia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOriginally, Lydia still held a faint hope in her heart. But when she realized that the questions asked by the three people were ordinary and simple for someone who had passed the exam for the research department, she instantly understood that they were intentionally protecting Dennis.
Lydia opened her mouth to speak out the truth, but Diana, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly spoke in a cold tone, "Lydia, are you done yet? Just because of you, so many people in the research institute have been mobilized, wasting so much time. When will you stop?" Diana was the goddess of many people in the research institute, and as soon as she spoke, public opinion was instantly swayed against Lydia. More people joined in, attacking Lydia with vicious and humiliating words. Lydia had no chance to speak out the truth.
As she watched Lydia's miserable appearance, Diana looked up at Selena with a look of satisfaction and malice in her eyes.
It seemed to Vivian that things had settled down. She looked at Lydia with disgust, withdrew her gaze, and turned to Selena. "Stealing someone else's work... is this what you call the Turner family's character? How disgusting!" Winnie saw Christ frown at Selena, but couldn't tell what he was thinking. He didn't offer any help and she breathed a sigh of relief. She also felt a bit sarcastic. The Turner family's reputation would surely take a hit after this incident.
And this whole thing was created by Selena. From now on, Selena would probably be accused and disliked wherever she went within the institute.
Christ turned a blind eye to all of this... it seemed like he wasn't that fond of that woman after all! Patrick looked worried, his gaze frequently shifting to Selena who was lying on the table, quiet and still, with an abnormal breath.
Something was not right! Selena's condition was... too abnormal! Amid the condemnation, Dennis didn't bother to look at Lydia, who was already being weighed down by public opinion. His gaze swept over Selena, who was sitting motionless with her head down. Malice and cruelty flashed in his eyes.
However, he calmly said, "Thank you all for clearing my name. But | think Miss Lydia just made a mistake, please give her another chance!" Upon hearing Dennis' words, Alina glared at Lydia with anger. "Teacher, Dennis is hardworking and studious. He has always been the best since he was young. This time, he was almost ruined by Lydia's plot. You cannot forgive Lydia so easily!" Cohen stood up, looking magnanimous. "Deans, the truth has cto light. Since Dennis is being magnanimous and not holding Lydia accountable, let's just let this matter rest."
