Chapter 32 Surveillance Footage

Chapter 32 Surveillance Footage



"Hurry up already!"

Marigold, standing nearby, couldn't wait any longer and kept urging.

Cordelia pointed her phone at her face, adjusted herself to what she thought was her most beautiful pose, and only then unhurriedly recorded the betting agreement.

After getting the video, Jack told Willie to call the police.

Willie looked incredulous and asked several times. Only after getting the same response did he hurry to make the call.

Not long after the call went out, the police came straight to the door.

The one leading the team this time was Milan again. After receiving the report that the Fox family had lost a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he didn't dare delay for a moment and rushed to the Fox Villa.

When he arrived, he found that the item had been lost but then recovered.

But as for who stole it, the Fox family members each had their own story.

The thief was definitely one of the Fox family members—how did one family get to this point?

Milan found it strange, but he knew wealthy families had many grudges. The Foxes just accusing each other was relatively normal—some wealthy families even hired killers over inheritance disputes.

Thinking of this, Milan pulled himself together and looked at Cordelia. "Ms. Fox, the item was indeed found in your room. What do you have to say about this?"

"Yes, I do."

Cordelia tossed her long hair, completely unconcerned. "I didn't do it."

"Does Ms. Fox have any evidence?"

Seeing Milan pressing her, Cordelia reached into her pocket, pulled out a USB drive, and waved it around. "The evidence is all in here. Please investigate carefully and don't let any bad person get away."

As she spoke, Cordelia handed the USB drive to Milan. The moment their hands briefly touched, Milan felt his ears getting warm.

Cordelia was just too alluring.

Cordelia's move instantly caught the attention of the other Fox family members, but no one knew what was on the USB drive. They could only watch helplessly as Milan projected the video onto the big screen.

On the screen, a maid's sneaky figure appeared in Cordelia's room. Not long after, Cordelia returned and started searching around, quickly pulling out a jewelry box from the foot of the bed.

Shortly after the box was taken out, Julie and Marigold burst in.

Seeing the video content, Julie's face instantly changed.

She pointed at Cordelia. "Where did you get this video? The surveillance at your room door was broken—where did you get this footage?"

"I said you were stupid, and you really are."

Cordelia looked at her mercilessly. "Look carefully. This video was shot from inside my room because I installed a camera in there."

Julie's face instantly turned deathly pale. She looked at Cordelia in disbelief. "When did you install it? How did I not know?"

"Why would I need to let you know?"

Cordelia looked at her with a half-smile. "Besides, if I let you know, how could I catch you? Now you can't deny it. Get ready to admit defeat."

No, no, how could she admit defeat?

How could she possibly lose to that bitch Cordelia?

Julie's hands twisted together tightly, her pale face instantly making Marigold understand what had happened.

So it was all Julie's doing. Julie was really too hasty—why didn't she discuss it with her first?

Marigold smiled reluctantly and said to Milan, "Sorry to trouble Officer Runyon with this trip. Today's matter is just a misunderstanding. Now that we know Cordelia didn't do it, we'll handle the rest ourselves."

"Now it's a misunderstanding, but if I didn't have evidence, it would be a different story, right?"

Cordelia waved her phone and said coldly, "You seem to have forgotten something important."

Seeing the phone, Marigold's face instantly turned as pale as Julie's.

She looked at Jack with pleading eyes. Although Jack didn't quite understand what was going on, he sensed something was wrong.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cordelia say to Milan, "I think we should call the maid who appeared in the video and ask what really happened. After all, this is our family's heirloom jewelry, worth a fortune. What do you say, Dad?"

When Cordelia said this, she casually waved the phone in her hand. Her meaning was clear—if they didn't cooperate, she would release the video she just recorded.

From the back view in the video, you could only tell the maid was female, but Jack was also curious about who exactly it was. He turned to Willie. "Go call all the female maids over."

Hearing they were really calling people, Julie became even more nervous, but with everyone watching, she couldn't interrupt Jack. Her hand involuntarily tugged at Marigold's clothes.

Marigold felt her nervousness and became anxious herself.

She looked outside anxiously and soon saw Willie walking over with several maids.

The Fox family didn't have many female maids. Jack couldn't recognize her, but Marigold immediately identified the maid who appeared in Cordelia's room as Ivy Price.

That bitch Cordelia—she clearly had the surveillance footage but still set up this trap to make them all fall for it.

No, wait—Cordelia definitely did this on purpose!

Thinking of this, Marigold instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Even though Cordelia had video proof that she didn't steal the necklace, she still laid a trap and watched everyone step into it bit by bit.

That bitch Cordelia's heart was truly ruthless!

So merciless toward her own family!

No, today she absolutely couldn't let that bitch Cordelia succeed.

Thinking this, Marigold suddenly clutched her head. "My head—I'm so dizzy!"

"Bear with it. Now's not the time to be dizzy!"

How could Cordelia not see through her intentions? She immediately shut down Marigold's plan to fake fainting and go to the hospital.

Seeing her scheme exposed by Cordelia, Marigold held her forehead and glared viciously at Cordelia. "Cordelia, I'm still your mother. Is this any way to talk to your own mother?"

"You're right, it's not."

Cordelia honestly shook her head. "But I've also never seen a mother who conspires with family members to frame her own daughter."

Apart from the Fox family, Milan was the only outsider in the room. How could such explosive wealthy family drama be something an outsider like him should hear?

Milan wished he could leave right now, but since the matter wasn't resolved, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Soon Willie led a group of people into the living room. Cordelia glanced over and immediately recognized the maid Ivy who had entered her room.

Because only Ivy nervously directed her gaze toward Julie.

So it really was Julie!

Seeing this, Cordelia got excited. Julie, you've finally fallen into my hands!
