Chapter 55 Evidence.
“What… what? What camera?” Sierra was the first to speak. Her face tensed, and her eyes still carried a fading smile.
Ronald came downstairs holding a teddy bear and said in a deep voice, “I’ve searched all the rooms and found nothing related to the draft. However, I found this toy in Maggie’s room, and it happens to have a hidden camera inside.”
Sierra turned her head to look at Maggic, instinctively asking. “You actually placed a camera in your
room?
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, her expression still somewhat blank.
“Is it turned on? Can it be used?” Master Cameron did not pay attention to their conversation but directly asked Ronald.
After all, at this moment, nothing was more important than the Herschire Cultural Park project.
“Maggie?” Ronald looked at Maggie.
Maggie stepped forward, took the small toy from his hand, and showed a look of realization. This is a gift from Lucas a while ago. He sent it here, so I just put it in my room after opening it when I came back to stay a few days ago.
“I remember he said it was a bear that can record videos and voices. It can even be connected to the internet to sing and chat… It seems very advanced…”
Maggie pretended not to fully understand. Since Olivia did not know the truth, she quickly said, “Lucas has always been interested in computer codes and stuff, so whatever he sends must be useful.”
Maggie took the brown, fluffy teddy bear and played with it for a while. “But even if it can be used for monitoring and recording, there should be a switch, right? When I received it, I pressed it a few times and couldn’t understand how it worked, so I just placed it on the desk as a regular toy.”
At this moment, Sierra’s heart tightened, her nervousness akin to standing on the edge of a cliff.
One step forward, a precipice; one step back, a complete victory.
Do not turn it on!
Do not turn it on!
Hopefully, Maggie did not understand how to activate the toy at all, so it did not start recording.
As long as it did not start, no one would find out that she did it, and Maggie would have to face the
consequences.
However… If the camera caught her….
Sierra did not dare to think about the consequences that awaited her.
Also, why did Lucas send such a thing to Maggie?

They were cousins, but he had always been closer to Maggie since they were children. He was not close to her and Joseph.
Now that he was abroad, he would still send gifts to Maggie.
Sierra was consumed by jealousy. She felt as if Maggie had taken everything that should have belonged to
her!
“Why don’t we contact Lucas and ask him if he knows how to use this thing?” Madam Cameron frowned and spoke, clearly lacking patience.
Just
then, Maggie, who had been playing with the toy, suddenly exclaimed, “I think it’s working!”
“Is it?” Master Cameron quickly stepped forward, eagerly taking the toy from her hand.
“I studied it for a while and I realized that the blue light is always on. There’s also a memory card inside. So, if we connect it to the computer, we should be able to see if it has recorded anything useful,” Maggie explained with excitement.
“Quick, bring the computer over.”
