NovelEnglishChapter 324 Impressed By Camila’s Skill “Young Master Nolan, there’s a seven-second gap here.” Silas furrowed his brows together as it
seemed like someone had deliberately deleted some parts of the footage.
“Keep rewinding. I want to know who else Chris came into contact with before he served the drinks.”
Again, the security officer rewound the footage and to no one’s surprise, there was another gap which
lasted for 4.37 minutes.
Silas sneered at how Aleena had naively thought that she would be able to get away with it just by
deleting the footage but at the same time, he couldn’t help but be impressed by how resourceful she
was. Then, he gave an instruction to the bodyguards standing outside, “Lock Chris up first.”
The bodyguards acknowledged his instruction before leaving. The footage continued playing and it
reached the part where Aleena made space for Camila and how insistent she had been to propose a
toast to her. Throughout the entire process, Camila behaved politely and she didn’t look like she was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton her guard at all when she was interacting with Aleena. Both Alex and Hayden were also staring
fixedly at the screen to check what they had been so busy doing at the time that made them miss out
the problem with Camila’s drink.
In the footage, Camila was seen lifting up her wine glass and turning her body to face Aleena, and just
like that, the plate on the table was pushed onto the floor by her arm. What followed shortly after that
was them putting down their wine glasses and bending down to clear up the mess on the floor. Silas
furrowed his brows before looking up confusedly at Alex and Hayden, who appeared similarly
flummoxed. Surprisingly, they still couldn’t figure out how Camila had done it even with the footage.
However, Silas had a hunch that she must have done something at that time. It was just that when the
footage was playing at normal speed, they couldn’t see how she dropped the plate at all.
Again, he instructed the security officer, “Play the footage at a slower speed!” The security officer did as
he said and it was only when the footage was playing 8 times slower than the normal speed did Silas
manage to see her movement clearly. In fact, Camila had already nudged the plate closer to the edge
of the table in a barely
noticeable manner before the plate was dropped so that when she later turned her body, she would be
able to reach the plate with her arm. Just as Aleena bent down to check if she was injured, she made
use of that opportunity to place the glass of drugged drink next to Aleena’s glass rather shrewdly. She
had done everything so swiftly that no one would be able to notice anything without scrutinizing it. With
that, by the time Aleena straightened up, she would naturally take the glass which was nearer to her
and drink the glass of drugged drink that originally belonged to Camila Alex, who was very impressed
with Camila’s skill, exclaimed, “My goodness, she can definitely move fast!” Meanwhile, Hayden was so
flabbergasted that he could not even utter a word. With a faint smile, Silas recounted, “On the day I met
her for the first time at the airport, she bumped into a random guy like that and she somehow got the
guy’s phone during the process. When I noticed her bringing that phone to the toilet, assumed she was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma habitual thief and because of that, I chased her out when she came to Nolan Group for a job
interview on the basis that she had a bad character.” As soon as he said that, both Alex and Hayden
were gaping at him with admiration and consternation at the same time. “How did you guys patch
things up after that?” Alex asked. Hayden questioned, “Did she tell you anything about the guy’s
phone?” Silas’s face would be filled with warmth and affection whenever Camila was mentioned. “I
checked the CCTV footage of the airport later on and found out that the
phone which belonged to another girl but because she didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it, she
retrieved the girl’s phone from the thief using the same way he had stolen it earlier. The reason why
she went to the toilet with that phone was because she wanted to return it to the girl. Regarding our row
that took place during the auction at the bar, she only started a fight with me because I rejected her job
application at that time.” “If that’s the case, how did the two of you…” Alex was really curious as to how
the two of them, who were arch-rivals in the first place, turned into such a lovey-dovey couple. Silas
seemed to be in great spirits today probably because he was glad that Camila managed to avoid the
drugged drink, or probably because he was proud of how brilliant she was.
In short, he was in a buoyant mood, so much so that he decided not to be bothered by the fact that
Camila was brought back home by George.
