When Evelina saw the surveillance video, she immediately sensed something was off. If Lemira had the footage all along, why didn't she reveal it sooner? Was this skind of trap? Evelina quickly grabbed the arm of Ethan, her eyes brimming with tears of betrayal, "How could you do this? And to think I trusted you!" The scent of Evelina's perfmade Ethan go weak at the knees. He quickly concocted a reply, "Yes, it's all me. I just couldn't stand her arrogant ways. It has nothing to do with anyone else." He definitely couldn't rat out his crush now. It must be because Ms. Langston was always so overbearing and took pleasure in tormenting his crush, which led her to act.
Seeing Ethan's response, Evelina finally felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. After all, she couldn't let her involvement be exposed! Turning to Lemira, Evelina wore a look of grievance, "Lemmy, I shouldn't have doubted you based on his word. I'm sorry." Lemira let out a cold laugh, "Well, you certainly should apologize." Evelina's expression stiffened, and she looked down, feigning scared.
Ethan, feeling a surge of chivalry, defended, "It's understandable Ms. Sterling had her doubts. After all, you hadn't shown us any evidence until now!" This statement left everyone around them shocked.
The manager, furious, bellowed, "You stole Ms. Langston's code and still have the audacity to speak?" Lucian, with a stern look, commanded, "Hogan, fire him and call the police!" Hearing the words, Ethan panicked.

Lemira revealed a half-smile, "Seems Evelina's charm is not to be underestimated. Men seem to defend her without a second thought." Despite everything, Ethan hadn't exposed Evelina as the mastermind behind the scheme. She had to admit this fake angel did know how to manipulate. "Lemmy, you got it all wrong. The team lead and I are just colleagues, nothing more. I was misled by him, truly believed he was the one behind the code." Inwardly, Evelina was gritting her teeth, "Lemmy, if you had the footage all along, why didn't you present it sooner? It could've avoided all this misunderstanding." Who would've guessed Lemira had surveillance footage up her sleeve? It's clear, Lemira had anticipated. someone would tamper with the computers and had strategically held back.
Evelina was terrified, thinking about she would be doomed if Ethan hadn't been swayed by her influence to keep her role a secret. Now that Lucian's trust in her was waning, if Ethan had confessed she was the one pulling the strings, that would be the end of her day. Lemira had deliberately set a trap.
Waving her phone slightly, Lemira explained, "I wanted to see who was trying to frme."
"It's obvious the team lead couldn't handle the firewall issue and, fearing Lucian's inspection, decided to take a desperate gamble." Evelina was panicking, especially with Lemira appearing so calm and collected, uncertain of what other evidence she might possess. Lucian, with a stern face, insisted,
"We need to thoroughly investigate whether there's someone behind pulling the string. I refuse to believe a mere team lead would dare eto undertake such a bold schalone."
