After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 782

The girl looked aggrieved, her expression defiant.

Aveline watched her calmly. Seeing that the girl had spent an entire night detained yet remained so composed, without a hint of guilt, Aveline turned her gaze to Russell.

“Bring it over,” Russell instructed his men.

One of his subordinates approached with a laptop, the screen displaying a surveillance video.

He hit play, and the footage showed the girl entering the banquet hall, her eyes immediately fixating on Aveline. Wherever Aveline went, the girl followed at a discreet distance, as if waiting for something.

Finally, the footage showed Aveline drinking a glass of juice. About five minutes later, the girl casually walked past Aveline, feigning concern and asking a few questions.

The surveillance camera’s audio quality was surprisingly good; other background noises were filtered out, leaving the girl’s voice clear as she suggested Aveline go upstairs to rest.

As soon as Aveline left, the girl took out her phone and sent a message.

The video ended there.

Seeing this, the girl’s eyes flickered with a hint of panic, but she still forced herself to remain calm.

"This video doesn’t prove anything," she argued. "I was watching her because I thought her dress was beautiful. Is that a crime?"

She paused and continued, "I wasn’t the only one curious about her last night. Why do you think I’m the one who did it?"

One of Russell's men stepped forward, holding the girl's phone. "You were thorough in deleting your messages, but our software detected traces. You sent a message saying, 'She's gone upstairs.'"

The girl's face turned pale, bit by bit.

"I...I..."

Russell interjected, "Still trying to deny it?"
