Super Wife’s Three Babies chapter 524
The assistant was on a call with someone else on the other line. He was cautious as he spoke to the other person through the phone. “You can’t recover the deleted footage? Okay… I’ve checked the records and it seems to have been overwritten… So it’ll be impossible? Alright, I understand,”
After hanging up the call, the assistant went over to the director’s side and whispered the report to him. “Director Norris, the experts said that it’ll be impossible to recover the deleted footage.”
The frustration Summer was feeling immediately disappeared the moment she saw the director’s reaction.
Due to her being unable to control her expression, the corners of her mouth lifted, forming a faint smile. Now that the recovery of the surveillance footage was deemed impossible, there would be no evidence pointing to her as the culprit.
As long as she could keep Sylvia in line and manufacture evidence against Olivia, she’d be able to pin the crime onto Olivia. Director Norris was filled with worries. Without the footage, wouldn’t the culprit get away with his crime and go unpunished?
Contrary to the director, Olivia was calm and easygoing. Impossible to restore them?
I’m sure that no data is unrecoverable to my son. Then, she turned her gaze toward Sylvia. Summer instinctively hugged Sylvia as she was afraid Sylvia might disclose what she knew.
Sylvia felt shame but never had any thoughts of betraying Summer. She could only lower her head in shame and refuse to meet Olivia’s eyes. Olivia did not want to push Sylvia any further, and so directed her gaze at Summer instead.
“I’ll give the culprit one last chance to come out on their own and make an apology. Take responsibility for this mess and compensate the affected parties, medical fees and whatnot. Only then, I will let this matter pass. Otherwise, I’ll come after you with everything I have!
If you force my hand, just a simple apology and compensation would not be enough to atone for your crimes here. The penalty for the crime of drugging someone with the intention of hurting them and framing an innocent party for it would, at the very least, warrant imprisonment for a few years!”
Summer started to grow a guilty conscience under Olivia’s stare. However, she couldn’t admit to her guilt right now. Like, how could she? Coming out now and admitting to her guilt would be equivalent to her slapping herself in the face.
As though she was trying to cover up her guilty conscience, she pointed her finger at
Olivia in an aggressive manner. “You can say all you want, but don’t just fix your eyes on me while you say it! Others out of the loop would think that I’m the culprit here!” With a faint smile, Olivia continued to fix her stare on Summer. “Since the culprit chose to not admit to their crimes, then I have no reason to hold myself back in this matter!”
Summer only muttered ‘you crazy woman’ in response before pulling Sylvia away from the area. Without making a stop anywhere, Summer continued to drag Sylvia along by her hand. It was only when they were inside the lounge did she loosen her grip on Sylvia’s hand. Fearing that Sylvia might think Summer was guilty, she feigned rage. “That Olivia is such a crazy woman! Why is she staring at us as if we are the ones that did it?”
In response, Sylvia gave a cold glare at Summer. “Weren’t you the culprit?” Summer’s face stiffened at her words. The rage she faked turned genuine in an instant. “What are you saying?” Sylvia continued to glare at her. “You intentionally let me grab the boxed meal before you to get me to leave the drinks unattended. It was then you laced the milk teas with laxatives, wasn’t it?
You wanted Olivia and Jewel to drink the drugged drinks but were afraid that they would put their guard up if the drinks came from you. In the end, they didn’t bother with the drinks, while Eric and Sean drank them by mistake. I don’t get it. You told me that you treat me as though I’m your blood sister, yet here you are trying to set me up as a scapegoat.”
“Sylvia…” Summer deliberately feigned a pained, expression. ‘When have I ever set you up? Why do you suspect me like that?”
Sylvia’s glare remained cold and distant. “You’re saying it’s not you?”
“Of course not. How could you be so easily swayed by Olivia? Have you forgotten how
I didn’t hesitate to defend you when Olivia was accusing you? I can’t believe you would have so little trust in me!”
Summer gave Sylvia a dejected look as she explained herself. Sylvia could only laugh at the farce she was witnessing. Treating me as a sister? What a joke. “I guess I’ll have to tell Olivia the truth, then. I’ll tell her that I’ve left the drinks unattended in your room!”
Saying that, Sylvia was about to leave the room. Though she was taken aback, Summer managed to reach out and grabbed hold of her. Due to the shock, she had not managed to compose her expression, for her expression was one of fury.
