Chapter 59: He’s a wallflower.
Olivia Thornton’s fingertips were shaking with nervousness. Just after Chloe Reynolds had gone to the restroom to find her in a mess and took her to the staff room to change clothes.
They talked about Victoria. Chloe said she saw her with Lucas, her words were full of hate. She also got bumped with her before coming to the restroom.
Olivia hated Victoria too and seeing the bracelet Chloe was wearing on her wrist she got an idea. She removed it and hid it when Chloe was not looking.
Not long after, Chloe did realize her bracelet was missing, and Olivia Thornton said cautiously, “Did she just steal it when you got hit with her?”
Being reminded of this, Chloe Reynolds didn’t even think a bit more before going after Victoria.
At the moment Chloe wished they didn’t have to check the surveillance either. The guy she likes was right here, and if it didn’t end up being Victoria, losing face in front of him would be worse than killing her, so when Olivia Thornton said that, Chloe followed suit and helped out.
“Yeah! Can’t go there! She’s the one who stole it. I saw it with my own eyes, and the position where she just stood was in the blind spot of the surveillance. How could that scene have been captured? I think she’s just deliberately stalling for time!”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The security guard was in a dilemma for a while, with the principal telling him to go and Chloe Reynolds and Olivia Thornton not letting him.
The principal looked around to Nick, “Mr. Andrews…”
Nick’s face went cold, the head of a school was so gutless, “Declan, you go.”
His tone was light as his brow was a little chilly.
The headmaster who dared not delay any longer, looked at a few security guards with a straight face, “You guys take Declan over.”
Victoria saw this face of the principal and found it laughable that this principal was able to beat the other one and take this position in the first place, but only because he was a wallflower.
He continued to stay in that position, and more and more students liked her and were vilified, so it was good for the investors to see his face.
There were a few sofas in the very center of the painting exhibition, and there were waiters there who specialized in preparing tea.
Nick lifted his foot and headed for the couch, seemingly to wait here for the results.
Victoria knew what Nick was doing wasn’t for her but since Andrews Enterprise was the largest investor in Veridian University, he had to see if the investment was worth it.
He was a businessman, and what came to his mind was naturally whether the deal was in line with the expected inputs.
As soon as he left, Emily rushed over, lest Victoria be bullied here, and forced herself to pull her along, following Nick’s lead.
Victoria was a bit helpless and couldn’t refuse, after all Emily was really doing it for her own good.
Emily pressed Victoria’s shoulder and made her sit next to Nick.
Victoria felt keenly that Nick’s breath was colder, but wondered if it was because of her proximity.
The principal and the others, who remained a short distance away, stood with embarrassed faces, completely at a loss as to what to do at this point.
The principal didn’t dare offend Chloe Reynolds, so she had to take it out on Olivia Thornton, “Look what you’ve done! What are you getting into with nobody like her?”
Olivia Thornton’s face was pale, she had only just become Director and if this incident had a bad effect on the school, she would probably have to be replaced immediately.
She worked so hard for this for so many years, how can…
She gritted her teeth and glared resentfully at Victoria.
Chloe Reynolds sensed her gaze and rushed to reassure, “Mrs. Thornton! Don’t worry, the police and Declan are going to investigate the surveillance. Let’s see how she’s going to get kicks then!”
Olivia Thornton’s lips were beginning to quiver with some regret that she had come up with this damning idea.
What to do now?
‘YES! There is no surveillance in the staff room, and even if Victoria didn’t steal the bracelet, there’s certainly no way to prove that she took it on purpose.’ Olivia Thornton thought, relieved.
She smiled coldly and looked at Victoria’s back with resentment in her eyes.
As if she couldn’t perceive the current atmosphere, Victoria looked to Nick, who was at the side, “Mr. Andrews, have you seen the design proposals from last night?”
Nick didn’t even give her an afterglow, his tone was light, “If you have an idea, just implement it directly, there’s no need to say too much to me.”
The implication was that it had not been looked at.
Communicate with customers about the program, which is the most basic operation, how to implement it directly?
But with Nick’s posture, it was clear that he didn’t want to interact with her much, so she kept her mouth shut.
The police arrived just as Declan pulled out that surveillance.
Declan stood in front of Nick and respectfully bowed his head, “President, it’s been checked. After Miss Reynolds collided with Poppy, she still wore the string of bracelets on her wrist, and until Miss Reynolds entered the staff room, the bracelets were still between her wrists, so I guess it was left in the staff room.”
With that said, Nick’s eyes went to Chloe Reynolds.
Chloe Reynolds frowned, “Sure? Why do I get the feeling she’s the one who stole it?”
Declan nods, “Surveillance shows just that.”
Chloe Reynolds, as much as she didn’t want to believe it, could only soften her tone at the moment, and when this was over, she would take care of the woman.
“I want her to apologise to me for talking to me in a bad way and saying bad things about my family.”
