Chapter 196 Surveillance Footage
Finished
Nydia said, “We saw it all on the lawn behind the terrace just now. It was your pig of a husband who hugged our teacher. Ms. Parker struggled to get away, but he still tried to follow.”
Vivian’s voice was sharp as she exclaimed, “That’s impossible! You guys are this b*tch’s disciples. Of course, you’d support her. Grace, this isn’t over between us!
The guests in the dining hall were all prominent figures in the circle.
If this matter got out, Grace’s reputation would be ruined.
Violeta took a step forward, glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner of the terrace, and said, “Then let’s check the surveillance footage. There’s a camera right here. Let’s see who made the first move.”
Grace agreed. “Sure, let’s check!”
Upon hearing this, Declan was dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago, he had let alcohol cloud his judgement and couldn’t control himself when he saw Grace. Now, if they checked the surveillance footage, wouldn’t his actions from earlier be exposed?
Declan’s heart sank as he started to panic.
He whispered to Vivian, “Vivian, if this thing blows up, it’s going to be bad for everyone. Let’s not make fools of ourselves. Let’s just drop it!”
Vivian’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his words.
After being together for so long, Vivian had already sensed Declan’s uncertainty. If he wasn’t sure, then he must be in the wrong.
This d*mn jerk wants to cheat on me with Grace behind my back!
In an instant, Vivian felt like she was being cheated.
She gritted her teeth, determined not to let Grace off the hook!
But if they checked the surveillance footage, Declan’s reputation would be ruined too. They were in this together, and Vivian had to think about herself as well.
If Declan lost face, it wouldn’t benefit her either.
After a few moments of silence, Vivian spoke up, “Fine, let’s check the surveillance!”
Declan remained silent.
Grace smirked. “Let’s go.”
The group headed straight for the surveillance room on the second floor.
Vivian was texting someone as they walked.
When they got to the surveillance room and asked to check the footage, they were taken aback when the

What a coincidence!

All the other cameras in the hotel were working fine, but only the ones on the terrace were down?
Hearing that the surveillance was broken, Declan breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the surveillance was down, there was no evidence to contradict their claims, and they could easily frame Grace.
The cameras are down, Grace. You’re one lucky lady!
“Even though there’s no evidence of your shameless deeds, we all saw it with our own eyes Grace, just you wait. Your good deeds today will spread throughout the entire circle tomorrow. Let’s see how you’ll face everyone after that!
Violeta glanced at the monitor next to her.
Violeta stepped forward and twisted the knob on the black–screen monitor. The surveillance screen flickered for a moment, and just as it seemed like the image was about to appear, the security personnel nearby immediately scolded, “What are you doing? Don’t touch it randomly. Can you afford to pay you break it?
Violeta asked. “Is this monitor broken? Why did it flicker just now?
The security personnel replied, “The screen’s messed up. That’s why the surveillance isn’t working”
for it if
Violeta pointed to the nearby functioning monitor. “Why don’t we just connect the surveillance camera to this working monitor?”
Nydia and Hazel nodded in agreement with Violeta’s suggestion, giving the security personnel incredulous looks. “Yeah, why not just switch monitors? Are you intentionally trying to avoid letting us see the surveillance footage?”
Grace glanced at the security personnel.
The security personnel stuttered, taken aback. “Um, well
Vivian watched as the security personnel struggled under the pressure, feeling uneasy.
Fortunately, at that moment, the head of security walked in from outside. “What’s going on here?”
The security personnel hurried forward and said, “Captain, they want to access the surveillance, but this monitor is broken, and we can’t do it.”
The captain glanced subtly at Vivian, then turned to Nydia and Hazel without mincing words. “So, you want to access the surveillance, huh? Never mind that the monitor is broken. What kind of people are you anyway? Just because you want to access the surveillance, do you think you can? Did you lose something? Did you call the police?”
“Get out, get out! Didn’t you see the sign outside? It says: No Unauthorised Personnel Allowed!”
The group was promptly escorted out.
