Chapter 1279 Pretentious
The next morning, the help who was tasked to guard the assassin went in to tend to his wounds.
To his shock, the assassin was gone. He immediately ran to Salvador and reported the matter to him.
Salvador promptly reported the matter to Cornelius and Abraham.
At once, Cornelius rushed to the room the assassin was previously held in. After strolling around, he realized someone had saved the assassin. Without further delay, he relayed the piece of information to Abraham.
“Find out who saved him!” Abraham instructed as he slammed his palm on the table furiously.
The contestants who were all gathered in the hall heard Abraham’s roar. Curious, they asked what happened, and Abraham proceeded to reveal how someone tried to kill Arielle.
As he spoke, he scanned the crowd surreptitiously to find out if anyone showed a guilty expression.
However, everyone seemed surprised to hear his words, and no one seemed to feel guilty. Is the culprit not among them?
“Mr. Mill, are there no surveillance cameras installed in that room?” Frustration crept up Arielle’s heart when she heard that the assassin had escaped. I should’ve sent him to Vinson last night! He tried to kill me, but I was careless enough to leave him in Silverbirch Hospital!
Cornelius shook his head. “The surveillance cameras went out of order a few days ago, and we wanted to install new ones. However, I got busy with the selection and forgot all about it.” He felt extremely apologetic as his carelessness allowed the assassin to escape from Silverbirch Hospital. He had assumed no one would be able to sneak out easily, but the truth proved otherwise.
The assassin was seriously injured, so there must have been a mole who saved him. I wonder who hired him to kill Arielle.
