Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 235 Restoring the Surveillance Video +8. Pearls Caden's presence was so powerful that the head of security had no choice but to acknowledge him with at respectful nod. "Alright, Mr. Holbrook." Moments later, the head of security returned, walking back into the store with a USB drive in hand.

"Mr. Holbrook, here's the footage from that time," he said, holding it out to Caden.

The air in the room seemed to thicken under Caden's intense gaze, making the head of security hold his breath, reluctant to speak.

Caden's voice was icy as he ordered, "Play it." "Yes, sir," the head of security responded, quickly inserting the USB into the computer. The video began to play. As expected, the screen showed no sign ofor Lilian.

"The positions you two were standing in must have been in a blind spot, so it wasn't captured on the video." the head of security explained, his tone cautious as he glanced nervously at Caden.

"That's not possible," I said flatly, my eyes glued to the screen.

I clearly remembered Lilian and I being near the door. We were well within the camera's line of sight, so there was no way it hadn't recorded the moment.

The only explanation was that the footage had been tampered with.

"Play it again, I ordered, my voice calm but resolute.

Something wasn't right about this.

"We've already watched it, Ms. Sinclair," the head of security said dismissively, sneering at me. "There's nothing to see. Why waste treplaying it?" "Play it again, now," I said coldly, my eyes narrowing as I locked onto him.

The head of security hesitated, clearly uncomfortable, but he ultimately complied and pressed the replay.

button.

This time, I immediately noticed something off.

"This video has been edited," I declared, stepping forward and pointing at the screen.

"That's impossible!" Lilian's face twisted in panic, and she quickly tried to deny it. "Rosaline, stop making things up." "Impossible?" I let out a dry laugh as I rewound the video. "It's obvious. The footage skips. About two minutes have been erased, and that's when you blocked me." I was certain now-the head of security had tampered with the video. The edits were subtle, but they were no match for me. After all, I was Ada, a world-class hacker.

The head of security's face drained of color, and he quickly began to deny it. "That's not true! I've bein Chapter 235 Restoring the Surveillance Viten + 100% (Pearls "What if you're the one who did it?" Lasked, a mocking smile curling on my lips.

"Don't accuseof things you can't prove!" the head of security snapped, his hands shaking, a sheen of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Whether I'm lying or not, we'll find out soon enough,” I said calmly, sitting down at the computer and staring intently at the screen.

Wendy stepped in front of me, towering overwith an air of authority. "Rosaline, what are you trying to accomplish?" "I'm restoring the deleted footage," I said without looking up, my fingers already dancing across the keyboard. Wendy exchanged a quick look with Lilian, both of their faces faltering for a brief moment.

Wendy narrowed her eyes at me, her voice dripping with disdain. "Rosaline, stop struggling. You should apologize to Lilian right now. You think pretending to know technical things will buy you tand keep you from facing the consequences?" "If anyone's pretending, it's you, Ms. Crawford." I retorted, my voice sharp and defiant.

Ignoring Wendy's glare, I placed my fingers on the keyboard and typed with practiced speed, the screen flashing with complex code that could easily confuse anyone not familiar with it.

Five minutes later, I pressed the enter key with a confident smile. "Done." With all eyes on me, I hit play again, watching as the video cback to life.

On the screen, the missing footage appeared.

I walked toward the door, and just as I had predicted, Lilian stepped forward, blocking my path.

Though their words weren't audible, their body language spoke volumes-Lilian was taunting me. deliberately blocking my way.

Impatient, I gently pushed her aside and quickly made my way through the door of Honey Boutique.

At that moment, Lilian's dress was still in perfect condition.

"No... this can't be!" Lilian's face turned pale, her voice trembling as she saw the restored footage.

Her eyes quickly darted toward the head of security, who was now sweating profusely.

"Alright, now everyone can see what really happened," I said calmly, pausing the video and pointing at the Ne videoja@pinting screen. When I walked out of Honey Boutique, Lilian's dress was still perfectly fine. So there's no way I could have been the one to ruin it." A ripple of surprise ran through the crowd.

"I can't believe this is the truth." "Wait, so Lilian was the one trying to frRosaline?"
