When Jack, Brian and Charlotte met each other, their eyes all got complexed.
Though they were tough before, they all got guilty face on at this moment.
“Don’t stand around, people. Why don’t we all sit down and have a nice talk.” Rita glanced at them and smiled.
Though she was being weirdly polite, all of them didn’t dare just to sit down.
Charlotte forced a smile amid panicking and sat back on the couch gracefully, “Sister, you haven’t asked that man carefully yet. How come that you asked another one in? I’m really confused.”
“Right, who gives you the right to arrest me?” Brian chimed in, “You must give me an explanation or I will sue you.”
“I’ll sue you right now. You lied to me yesterday so I would get out of the airport and you just detained me!” Glaring at Rita sitting on the sofa, Jack accused angrily.
Sue?
Rita actually found it ridiculous that these two men were using this word.
Weren’t they guilty?
Seeing how loud and self-confident they were, Rita assumed that in no way would they feel ashamed.
Rita frowned because how damn loud they all were.
She then looked at Jack slowly and said, “Since that you wouldn’t admit that you rigged the brake pad, let’s have a look at the surveillance footage in your store then.”
But Jack just laughed and said, “How amusing, Miss Brown, there is no surveillance camera in our repair workshop.
“Well, I’m afraid you have to ask your store manager about this question.” Rita then landed her sight on Manager Butler who was walking in.
People then all looked at the store manager.
“It was true that we didn’t have camera in the workshop before, but we installed several of them after being requested by the headquarter.”
Hearing the manager’s words, Jack’s face got all pale.
He forced a wry smiled and asked, “How come? Why don’t I know this?”
“You took a sick leave last month. We installed the security cameras that day.”
Jack’s face was ghastly pale at this point. ‘What a coincidence.”
Brian and Charlotte were equally shocked by this news.
Jack was particularly nervous. The palm of his hand even started sweating.
Did they just install the cameras by chance on the day he took a sick leave?
No, he wouldn’t believe it.
“This is the security footage of you repairing the Browns’ car that day.” Manager Butler then took out a memory card and handed it to Rita.
“Ted.” Rita then glanced at the butler who hurriedly took over and inserted it into the computer.
Jack’s face soon appeared on the screen.
In the video, after looking around and making sure that no one was around, he took a tool and tampered with the container of the brake fluid.
Looking at the clear image of himself in the video, Jack was panicking.
He didn’t really expect that his crimes would be caught on camera.
“Jack, are you going to explain this?” Rita questioned coldly.
Jack immediately came to himself, “This... I...”
“You don’t need to explain this to me. You’d better go to the prison and tell police the truth.” Rita indifferently cut his words before he can even finish.
Hearing that he would end up in prison, Jack fell to the ground and sweated profusely.
He was greedy for money when Brian found him and took the offer, but he didn’t want to go to the prison for this amount of money.
