The playback of the surveillance video of Arvin's apartment ran its horrific course on the computer screen for all to see.
It showed that Angela supported Arvin, carried him back to the apartment and ran out of the house in haste the next morning. Later, Nita took breakfast to him unannounced and entered the room.
Arvin glanced at Nita and her parents who seemed mad, "To minimize the unnecessary troubles, I asked Kent to send me the screenshots. Of course, the complete video of the two days is saved in the flash disk. You can take away the disk if you are still unsatisfied!"
Nita trembled greatly when she saw the video marked by the timestamps.
She felt so humiliated that she really wanted to run away as fast as she could.
Actually, Arvin was not finished. He continued without looking at Nita, "The servant, Jenifer in your family admitted that she gave Nita a glass of water at midnight of the twenty third day. This corroborates my story of events, and really that should have been mentioned a long time ago so we could square all this away before it became an ongoing issue, but it didn't and I am not sorry."
No wonder Jenifer resigned and left Nita's home all of a sudden...
... The ironclad evidence made Nita feel desperate.
She looked pale and trembled, "Angela! Did you do this?..." Suddenly, her voice was out of control, "Did you repair the video? You bitch!"
"Nita!" How could she scold Angela in front of him? Arvin asked her to shut up! He said coldly, "Director Nita, your moral compass is not usually so misguided; you should make haste to make amends on your iniquities before god himself smites you where you stand. You are a mean woman and we don't need you in Yao Hospital!"
'I'm a bad woman? Arvin thinks that I'm a bad woman... And he wants to fire me!' Nita felt quick pains flashing and stabbing her heart.
Finn couldn't see this. She stood in front of her daughter and said to Arvin, "Arvin, you had a good relationship with Nita before Angela showed up! But now, you've turned your back on Nita and fallen in love with Angela! How can you do that to my daughter?"
"Auntie, I think you've got me all wrong! Angela has nothing to do with this. Nita was just one of my friends before Angela showed up. I didn't turned my back on her!" Arvin said coldly.
But one thing that Arvin didn't say was that he had a whole new concept of Nita clearly through his perspective shift from her to Angela.
Angela was more simple and innocent...
Angela became unhappy. She didn't understand why Nita and her parents believed it was all her fault.
"How dare you say that!" Finn became so angry that she couldn't say any more words. At last, she held Nita's hands, "Let's get out of here!"
Nita threw Finn off her, went up to Angela and took a deep breath to adjust her emotions. She said calmly to Angela, "Angela, don't be so proud! Rosa will show up. She is now in Shine Empire. Arvin will definitely marry her and you will also get dumped by him, just like I did! Then you'll see!" Nita became apoplectic.
"No, you are wrong!" Angela said and smiled slightly, "We are different! Arvin doesn't like you at all. But Arvin and I love each other. I believe Arvin. He will solve all of our problems and I'm willing to wait for him!"
Although Angela sounded happy and confident, she seized the sheet tightly and quietly when she said it, because she was secretly morbidly afraid of the consequences.
The name of 'Rosa' when it was uttered, sent a chill down her spine, as it represented a time bomb waiting to tick down to oblivion. It seemed that when Rosa came back, her relationship with Arvin would be destroyed...
Nita sneered at her, "Arvin is just a man! Don't be too confident! And don't cry when he dumps you too!"
"Leave, now! Otherwise, I'll call the security to kick you out for good!" Arvin sounded cold and Nita couldn't help frosting over.
James was greatly shocked when he discovered this underlying truth that had existed all this time under the mendacity and artifice that Nita had spun. He didn't expect that his daughter to be a liar, "Nita, let's go home right now!"
The room became silent when Nita and her parents left.
