Chapter 197 A Handle
"You!" Maria couldn't bear it and sneered, "What benefits did that girl give you to make you speak up for her?"
"In this household, you are a servant, and you should address her respectfully as Miss Abella! Are you allowed to call her a girl?"
Even if Abella didn't give her a penny, she would still speak up for her, not for any other reason but because she liked Abella's personality and her way of dealing with people.
Unlike Miss Lola, who is so pretentious and annoying.
"Miss Lola has treated you well in the past." Maria walked along the corridor, her eyes fixed straight ahead, maintaining a smile at the corners of her mouth, as if reminding her of something.
"Miss Abella has also treated you well. How have you repaid her?"
Lauren walked alongside her in the corridor and then turned to stand in front of Abella's door. She softly reminded, "The Lady of the House's attitude is clear. If anyone dares to bully Miss Abella or have any ill intentions towards Phillipe, the consequences are self-evident. You know it well in your heart!"
Saying this, she knocked on the door and respectfully said, "Miss Abella, it's time for dinner."
"Some people have chosen the wrong master and think they are clever!" Maria sarcastically taunted her and knocked on the door again with a humble attitude, "Miss Lola, it's time for dinner."
Both doors opened at the same time.
Abella walked out and happened to see Lola.
Lola paused for a moment, remembering the grievances she had endured today, and her discontent burst forth, "Disappointed your sister today, huh?"
Abella, wanting to walk past her, heard her words and coldly curved her lips, "My dear sister, you really lack experience. Don't you know there's something called a Mini GPS in New York?"
"Mini GPS?" Lola was momentarily stunned. She had indeed heard of such a thing, not the ordinary surveillance kind available on the market, but a small device used for tracking...
The grains of rice are so small, but they can clearly show the detailed roads of the entire New York, even down to the license plates of each car and the movements of every person.
It is said that only a few top officials in government departments are qualified to access the Mini GPS. Some say it's for improving the overall quality of life and safety in first-tier cities, while others say it will be widely promoted nationwide to catch criminals.
There are also rumors that the family members of the highest leaders in New York live in a certain area, so they need this device to protect their safety.
With its wide coverage, as long as you are not inside a building or obstructed, walking on the street allows them to see your every move!
Abella opened her phone and zoomed in on the surveillance footage, saying, "So it was you who unscrewed the bottle cap."
Lola and Maria looked together and saw Maria standing behind the truck, unscrewing two bottle caps with her hand, pretending to stumble when entering the door...
They never expected that such precise monitoring with Mini GPS existed!
Abella smirked, coldly saying, "This person is you, right? If your failing eyesight can't recognize it, I can bring it downstairs and let everyone help identify..."
Maria was frightened and immediately knelt down, saying, "Miss Abella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wrongly accused you..."
"Is apologizing useful now? If this thing falls into the hands of the police, you will be considered intentionally killing someone. If I had accidentally fallen and got injured, resulting in a minor consequence, you would only face three years in prison. If it were more serious, let alone three years, the entire Medici family would come after you!"
Trembling in fear, Maria begged, "Miss Abella, what do you want me to do? As long as you don't tell Madam..."
"It depends on my mood," Abella put away her phone, "If I catch you doing anything behind my back or bullying Lauren, I don't know whether to give this to the police, to my parents, or to share it online."
Lauren, who was standing nearby, didn't expect Miss Abella to mention her. She suddenly straightened her back and became determined!
"Miss Abella, it was all my fault before. I will never make the same mistake again! I'll kowtow to you! Please delete the video..."
"Delete?" Abella smirked coldly, "I just made a backup of it."
Hearing this, Maria became even more frightened.
Ignoring Maria's trembling body, Abella raised her phone and looked at Lola, saying, "Your people want to harm me. Do you think you can escape the consequences? Will our parents believe you or believe me?"
Lola bit her lip and didn't expect that Abella had opened the Mini GPS and saved this surveillance footage. How did she even manage to do that?
"Lauren, let's go."
Maria watched them leave, feeling completely defeated.
"Maria, are you okay?" Lola quickly reached out to help her up.
"That place clearly had no surveillance. Could it really be like Miss Abella said, that there's a Mini GPS deployed?"
"I didn't know that even mini GPS devices existed!" Maria felt doomed. She had been careless, thinking that there were no surveillance cameras in that place.
"We have to find a way to make her delete the video! We can't let it spread!" Lola was afraid of being implicated.
"But Miss Abella, she doesn't seem like an easy person to reason with! She just said she made a backup!"
It seemed like she intentionally wanted to use this as a threat against us! How despicable!
"Maria, you don't know, but that thing can't capture what happens inside buildings. We can take action inside the building..."
Maria never expected Miss Lola to suddenly have such an idea.
"Alright, as long as we can delete it, we'll be worry-free..."
"Miss Abella, you're truly amazing!" Lauren followed Abella downstairs and couldn't help but ask, "Since you have evidence, why don't you use it to confront Miss Lola? This matter must be related to her!"
Maria must have been acting under Lola's orders!
"This thing can only prove that Maria was involved. As long as she insists that this was her own idea and not related to Lola, Lola can bring up all the emotions of growing up with her parents and cry to the elderly in the family or cry in front of her brothers..."
It would at most result in a servant being fired! Lola, to a large extent, wouldn't be kicked out! At most, she would face some minor punishment.
"Having this thing in my hands is equivalent to having leverage. It can serve as a warning to them. If they aren't afraid of dying, they will definitely try to find a way to blackmail me into deleting it."
That way, they will make a mistake, and we will focus on Lola's mistake! And it has to be a big mistake! Only then will our parents be determined and stop having any hope for her...
"Miss Abella, you're truly clever!" Lauren finally understood and greatly admired Miss Abella. "You have thought it through."
"No more talking.' Before entering the restaurant, Abella gestured to her to stop talking.
Lauren quickly understood and closed her mouth. During the meal, Lola didn't dare to look at Abella, keeping her head down. Several times, she almost spilled the soup...
