"Wait a minute—I didn't call today just to shoot the breeze." The voice on the other end turned serious. "The situation in the Maldives, it's all been sorted out."
Roseanne instinctively sat up straight: "Talk to me."
"Got time? Let's grab a bite, I've got something for you."
Roseanne frowned slightly, glanced at her watch, and agreed to meet the next day at three in the afternoon.
...
The next day, at the diner.
"This document, my legal team got ahold of it, take a look."
No sooner had they sat down,
Corley got straight to the point, sliding a manila envelope across the table to her.
"Since last year, this international lawsuit has been pushing forward, during which the hotel was forced to hand over all surveillance footage."
"Plus, with a fortunate tip-off about an eyewitness, following the trail, we finally cleared up the truth."
Corley was the first to know, and he had absolute trust in his team.
And when he learned the outcome, he wasn't the least bit surprised.
Because it was almost exactly as he had guessed...
His fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, his deep gaze landing on Roseanne, a hint of amusement in his voice: "You're the victim here, how you want to deal with this is up to you."
Roseanne's fingers slightly curled at the sight of the envelope being pushed towards her. She picked it up, opened it...
The document detailed how Millie had bribed the diving instructor to swap out the oxygen tanks and how the gift box had been rigged with a venomous snake.
Besides, there were photos and videos, the evidence was comprehensive, leaving no room for denial.
