Leyla was stunned instantly. She raised her hand to cover her face, looking at Sam in disbelief.
The people who had been watching them were also surprised at this scene. They thought that Sam would teach Casey a lesson, but they didn't expect that Sam slapped Leyla first.
"You...you slap me? It's obvious that he bullied me. Are you crazy?" Leyla immediately cried out, looking at Sam with a grieved expression.
"You know the best what was going on here. How could he waste his time just because of more than 30,000 dollars?" Sam looked so anxious. If he offended the big shot today, he would definitely not let Leyla go.
"He... he is just a punk-ass that everyone in J City knows. How can he not care about more than 30,000 dollars? It’s obvious that he himself wants to deny. You are still speaking for him now. Sam, I shouldn’t be with you!" Leyla was full of grievances and had completely regarded herself as a victim.
Sam was almost mad, but Leyla was still arguing with him.
He glared at Leyla and said, "I'll explain this to you after we go back. You apologize to him first, hurry up!"
"Why? Let me apologize to a punk-ass, no way!" Leyla shouted.
"Alright," Casey said at this time, looking at Sam, "You go to play the surveillance video. Let everyone see what happened at that time. Then we will know who is right and who is wrong. "
Sam looked at Casey with embarrassment on his face. He bent over and said, "Mr. Davies, I’m really sorry. This woman must be crazy so that she did such a thing. We don’t have to see the surveillance video. It must be this crazy woman’s fault."
Casey shook his head, and said impatiently, "Hurry up. I don't want to waste time anymore."
Seeing that Casey was a little impatient, Sam nodded in fright and said, "Okay, okay, I will let them play the surveillance video."
Then he went to the CCTV Control Room to play the surveillance video.
Seeing this, Leyla immediately wanted to stop Sam. But Sam pushed her directly and almost made her fall to the ground again.
Leyla looked at Casey and Edith with resentment. Just because of them, the matter was out of her control now.
The people around were all discussing. Most felt that Casey went too far.
"This man has really gone too far. That woman has been beaten, but he is still reluctant to let her go."
"Whose fault is it? If this man really bumps into this woman, why does he insist on playing the surveillance video?"
"Who knows! The woman is pitiful. She doesn't seem to be lying."
...
Edith didn't know why Sam would help Casey. Logically, he should definitely help Leyla.
Moreover, Sam's attitude changed dramatically after seeing Casey, obviously because he knew that Casey was not that kind of persons who he could offend.
What kind of identity did Casey have that made a rich playboy be so respectful to him? Sam even hit his girlfriend, just fearing pissing Casey off.
Edith felt that she didn't know Casey more and more.
Above the lobby on the first floor of the mall, there were several huge TV screens, which were usually used for playing advertisements.
After a while, the pictures on these TV screens were all switched to the surveillance video in the mall.
"Look at the screens above!" Someone exclaimed at this moment.
Everyone immediately looked up at the screens above.
What was playing above was exactly the scene of Leyla picking the jade bracelet at that time.
When Leyla saw the video above, she screamed immediately, wishing to hide all the screens quickly.
But those screens were hanging in the air. She couldn't reach to them at all. Besides, with so many screens, she couldn't cover them all even if she wanted to.
She didn't expect that Sam would be so ruthless that he played the surveillance video directly in front of everyone, which would make others scoff her in the future.
In the video, Leyla looked at the jade bracelet in her hand for a long time, and then was about to put it down casually.
At this time, the bracelet slipped directly from her hand and fell to the ground.
When the bracelet fell on the ground, Casey and Edith were still more than one meter away from Leyla. After the bracelet broke, they walked to Leyla's side, and Casey didn't bump into her at all.
The picture was clear. Leyla's face was deadly pale. She was like a kid who had done something wrong and was found by others, feeling desperate and regretful.
After everyone saw the surveillance video, they found that Leyla was lying. Those who chose to believe her at that moment felt disgusting.
"It's really disgusting. This woman is so good at acting. Seeing her pitiful appearance just now, I really thought she was a victim."
"Damn it. She turns out to be a scheming bitch. I originally wanted to stand out to help her. I didn't expect that she’s so shameless."
"We wronged that young man. It has nothing to do with him."
