"From the video, it's obvious that the girl beside you knocked you on purpose to let your phone drop down. She bent down to pick it up. Strangely, it took her so long … "
Jacob pointed at a stranger in the video, turning his head to Rita and asked, "Do you know this girl?"
"No." Rita staring at that strange face shook her head.
Then she asked Liam, "You were also present that day. Do you know her?"
"I don't know."
Liam shook his head. Then the light in Rita's eyes became a little dim, and there was full of disappointment.
Liam noticed her expression. He immediately questioned Jacob, "I asked you to investigate the event of that year, and this is what you gave me?!"
Facing the Liam's questioning, Jacob licked his lips embarrassedly and answered, "Uh … I showed the photo of this girl to people who took part in the dinner party that year, but no one said they knew her. Thus, I can't follow the clue."
Hearing this, Rita was more disappointed.
She thought she could finally justify herself!
However, it ended up like this.
'I would not be discouraged, though.'
For her, the video was like a ray of light in the dark. It gave her hope. She will spare no effort to expose the plot and show the truth to people.
Her determination was ignited again.
Rita looked at the video and took a screenshot.
Then she threw the phone to Jacob, and said, "Please send the photo of the girl to me on WeChat, thanks."
" … " Facing this request, Jacob showed his reluctance on his face clearly.
But he still obeyed since Liam agreed tacitly.
"Why do you want that photo?" Liam looked at her and asked in confusion.
"Although we don't know her, I think there must have been someone who knew her at that party. I will find out who she is even though I have to find everyone at that party and to ask them."
There was full of determination in her eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to be so attractive that Liam could not help glancing at her with mixed emotions.
There were ingredients of hypnotic in the infusion bottle, so Rita lying on the bed gradually fell asleep.
Liam didn't leave the hospital until Mrs. Davis came.
Siting in the car,
Liam stared at the photo of that girl and furrowed his brow.
'Was Rita wronged that year?'
He turned his head to look at the passing view outside of the window, and there was Rita's determined look in his head.
Rita's determination really overwhelmed him at that moment. He even began to doubt if what he firmly believed these years was really true.
He felt a headache and squeezed his nose bridge. Then he turned to Jacob, "You must find out that girl no matter how difficult it will be!"
"Yes."
Jacob nodded gravely and drove Liam to the Wilson Group.
***
In the afternoon.
After finishing the infusion, Rita chose to take a cab home with Mrs. Davis.
On the way back home, Rita saw something and immediately called the driver, "Please pull up."
"Ms. Wilson, what happened?" Mrs. Davis asked, worrying about Rita.
"Nothing, I just saw a hairdresser and want to get a new haircut."
"What hairstyle do you want?" Mrs. Davis asked.
"Just cut them off." Rita smiled and answered.
