“Bella, what brings you down here?” Louisa turned to Edith and asked, “Who told you to fetch Ms. Bella?” “It's because Lily was being too loud. Arabella walked over to everyone and gave a careless glance around. “Aren’t we supposed to review the security footage?” “Bella.” “Let's do it.” Arabella spoke in a calm tone: “I want to see if someone is asking for trouble and getting what they deserve.” “You.” Lily felt a surge of discontent towards her, but she still said, “Since it's Ms. Bella's idea, I'll bring up the footage for everyone to see. | believe everyone is curious about what really happened and how Serena fell!” “If the person who framed Serena watched her fall and doesn’t have to take any responsibility, does that mean everyone can bully Serena in the future? How many more insults does Serena have to endure? Does she even have a place in this family?” Arabella lazily leaned back on the single sofa, and Edith poured her a glass of water. She took a sip and said nonchalantly, “Enough with the chatter.” “Play the footage.” “Wait and see!” Lily went to fetch the security footage. Soon, the afternoon's surveillance footage was playing on the big screen.
Lily fast-forwarded it to three times the speed.
At five twenty in the afternoon, Holly was watering the garden. At half past five, the screen suddenly turned into black and white stripes, and then the time jumped to six in the afternoon.

“It doesn't seem like anyone's fault; Ms. Bella didn’t do anything, and neither did Serena!” “They both look innocent!” “Lily, you misunderstood Ms. Bella; she just got home from work at that time.” “That's right.” Several of the maids spoke up for Arabella.
“No!” Lily seemed to have found evidence, pointing at the screen and laughing coldly, “Look carefully; this is the spot. Ms. Bella didn't fall when she passed by; how; come Serena did?” Everyone looked, and indeed, both Serena and Ms. Bella had passed through that spot.
Lily declared, “Ms. Bella must have known in advance that there was oil there; that's why she avoided it! But Serena didn’t know, so she slipped and fell when she walked past!” In other words, the oil was poured by Ms. Bella! “Nonsense! Ms. Bella only got home at six; when would she have the time to set this up?” Edith stood up and accused, “The master and mistress are here, yet you dare to slander Ms. Bella! You've got guts!” “This surveillance system was purchased by the master and mistress from overseas and has been running smoothly for five years. However, during this half-hour, from five thirty to six, the surveillance footage was deleted. And then, as soon as it hit six, Ms. Bella appeared in the footage! Doesn't that give something away?” “What are you implying?” Edith couldn't bear it anymore; she stood in front of Arabella and started arguing with Lily: “Ms. Bella just joined this family; she doesn't even know where the oil is! Do you really have to slander her?” “Could it be possible that you told her?” “You're framing her! You're just spouting nonsense!” “I heard from Holly that when Ms. Bella got home from work, she sent Serena and Martha away first, then went upstairs herself!”
