Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 467

After the recording played, the room fell into silence.

Ricardo hadn't expected Sophie to come prepared with a recording device, and he frowned at the surprise.

Sophie met Ricardo's gaze head-on, her eyebrows arched in defiance. 'Think you can set me up? Not a chance.'

Mr. Briggs and Bea were clearly confused about the turn of events.

Ricardo took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Sophie, a recording can't prove anything. Besides, all these eyes witnessed you pushing someone down the stairs. That's an undeniable fact."

Sophie shrugged nonchalantly. "Mr. Ricardo, you seem to have misunderstood me. I didn't intend to use this recording to prove I wasn't the one who pushed Nichole. I just wanted to prove that Ms. Rowena lured me upstairs using James’ identity and spoke some nonsensical words to me."

"Even if Rowena said something strange to you, it doesn't prove you didn't push them!"

"No matter what, Sophie killed my great-grandchild, and that's a fact!"

Mr. Briggs and Bea countered every argument Sophie made.

Officer Derick also chimed in, "Ms. Sophie, do you have any other evidence? If not, I'm afraid I'll have to proceed with the charges."

With so many onlookers, he could not show favoritism.

Sophie replied calmly, "Of course I do."

The crowd exchanged puzzled looks as Sophie continued. "The incident occurred on the second floor, which fortunately is under surveillance. Why don't we just check the footage?"

Bea frowned, "What are you talking about? When did our second floor ever have surveillance?"

"It didn't before, but it did yesterday."

Bea was utterly confused. How could their house have cameras installed without her knowledge?

Marian, who had been in the background, stepped forward and handed her phone to Sophie, saying, "Madam, everything is here."

Bea's face registered shock. "Marian? You..."

Sophie took the phone and, after a few taps, brought up the surveillance video of Nichole summoning her. She handed the phone to Officer Derick, saying, "Officer Derick, this evidence should suffice, right?"

Once Officer Derick watched the video, his face showed a clear change in expression.

Sophie addressed the crowd, "I assume it's hard to see from here. Let me use the Burke family’s projector to give everyone a clearer view."
