Everyone else nodded in agreement.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Who could get in without a key? They can’t have flown in!”
“In other words, it can’t have been done by the kitchen staff.”
A clear-headed person hurriedly said.
“Could someone have stolen the key and put it back later?”
The young man responsible for the surveillance shook his head.
“That’s impossible. I always keep the key on myself and never take it off, so it’s impossible for it to be stolen.”
Everyone was suddenly a little confused at the words.
No one stole the key, but the surveillance footage had indeed been tampered with. Was it really the work of a ghost?
At this thought, there were already people who started to pale.
Vickie naturally did not believe in the existence of ghosts.
With a calm face and a cold gaze, she looked at each and every face in front of her.
Finally, her eyes landed on a young girl who had been standing in the corner.
The girl looked very young, around sixteen or seventeen years old. It was reasonable to say that she was not old enough to work yet.
However, Vickie remembered that she had passed by the garden once before and overheard the maids chatting and saying that the girl had been here for three years.
If she was around sixteen to seventeen now, that meant she was only thirteen to fourteen three years ago!
Excluding the fact that Gregory actually allowed a little girl to work as a maid here, when Vickie heard about this, she felt sorrow and sympathy in her heart, and paid more attention to the girl because of that.
At this moment, she was keeping her head down so low it seemed almost buried in her chest.
Her hands in front of her had been restlessly wringing the hems of her shirt, and she looked both nervous and scared.
Vickie could not help but become curious.
“What’s wrong?” She suddenly asked.
Everyone froze and immediately turned to look at the girl.
Feeling the gazes, the girl looked up, revealing a pale and overwhelmed face.
“I-I’m fine…”
Although she was denying it, her voice was shaking. She clearly had a guilty conscience.
Vickie’s expression darkened.
At this point, Yuliana also saw that something was off.
She was not stupid, and with a flicker of her eyes, she figured it out. She immediately went up and pulled the girl out of the crowd.
“Say it! Did you steal the bird’s nest?”
Her voice was sharp with anger, and the girl trembled with fear. Without even struggling, she dropped to her knees with a ‘thump’.
“I didn’t! I didn’t steal it! I found the bird’s nest in the garden!”
Everyone was shocked by her words.
Andrea seemed to think of something. Her eyes went cold and she turned her head to leave.
Vickie did not stop her. Sure enough, Andrea soon returned with some boxes of excellent quality bird’s nest.
Her expression was very unpleasant.
