Chapter 782 Quibble
The girl looked upset, her face full of defiance.
Mary just stared at her coldly. Seeing that the girl had been locked up all night and still showed no signs of guilt, Mary turned to Robert.
"Bring it over."
Robert nodded to one of his men.
The man approached with a laptop, the screen displaying a surveillance clip.
He pressed play, and the footage clearly showed the girl entering the banquet hall, her eyes immediately locking onto Mary.
Wherever Mary went, the girl followed at a discreet distance, as if waiting for something.
Finally, the girl saw Mary drink a glass of juice. About five minutes later, she casually walked past Mary, pretending to ask a couple of concerned questions.
The surveillance camera's audio was good, filtering out background noise and capturing the girl's voice.
She was guiding Mary to go upstairs and rest.
After Mary went upstairs, the girl took out her phone and sent a message.
The video ended there.
Seeing this, the girl's eyes flickered with guilt, but she still bit her lip and said, "A video like this proves nothing. I was watching her because I thought her dress was beautiful. Is that a crime?"
She paused, then continued, "I wasn't the only one curious about her. Why do you think it was me?"
One of Robert's men held up her phone and said, "You deleted the message, but traces remain in the system. Our investigation shows you sent a message saying, 'She went up.'"
The girl's face turned pale.
"I..."
Robert cut her off, "Still want to deny it?"
He glanced at the other two people in the room. "If I can uncover her careful and hidden actions, do you think you two are innocent?"
The two others exchanged nervous glances. One of them, a waiter, spoke up, "I'll talk!"
Everyone's eyes turned to the waiter.
Swallowing hard, he said, "My brother is sick, and I needed money. Someone offered me a large sum to light some incense in a guest room and bring Mrs. Montagu there. They promised me a million dollars."
"Who was it?" Mary asked.
The waiter shook his head, "I don't know. He always wore a hat and mask when we met, but I know it was a man."
Mary's eyes showed confusion.
Who could it be?
The waiter asked, "I've told you everything. Can I go now?"
Robert looked at Mary, "What do you want to do?"
Mary said, "Let him go."
The waiter looked at her gratefully, "Thank you, Mrs. Montagu. Thank you!"
He was released but was quickly taken away by security, unbeknownst to the others in the room.
Seeing the waiter let go so easily, the girl hesitated, then said, "I told you, this has nothing to do with me. Stop trying to frame me!"
Even now, she refused to admit anything.
But the current evidence couldn't definitively prove the girl did anything wrong, and her explanation seemed plausible.
