Before Andris could say anything, Hesper and Pennleigh walked in.
"Seriously, Mr. Etienne? Do you really think I don't have any evidence?"
Hearing what Hesper said, Andris pulled his arm out of Evon's clutches and looked at him with disgust. He had almost been convinced by Evon just now. How could he believe in a bad person like Evon who would stop at nothing to achieve his goal?
Hesper walked inside and looked at the panicked Evon sternly. "It seems to me that you still think you can get away from this, Mr. Etienne. But if I didn't get my hands on the surveillance footage from that time, how would I make such a statement in front of everyone?"
Looking at the defeated expression on Evon's face, Pennleigh could not help but sigh inwardly. If he had not known in advance that Hesper actually did not have any evidence, he would have thought that she really had gotten the surveillance footage.
"If you really have the evidence, then show it to us," Evon said.
Chuckling, Hesper nodded. "You know what, Mr. Etienne? There's a saying in my country that matches your situation right now. It's called 'refusing to give up until all hope is lost'. Okay, then. I'll show everyone what happened backstage during the bidding session six months ago."
She took her phone out and opened up the backstage surveillance footage that Renfrew gave her. She showed it to Evon and said, "You must be very surprised, right, Mr. Etienne? You're very familiar with the studio. The footage shouldn't have been stored anywhere, so how did I get it?"
"How is this possible…"
"Mr. Etionne, do you know why I didn't expose you in public back then when I clearly had this evidence?"
