Looking up at the ceiling stretching way above wp4webnovel.com head, Arianne imagined the light plummeting from its spot and felt a surge of terror bubbling in wp4webnovel.com mind. Shelly was lucky that the light did not kill wp4webnovel.com right there and then.
The women took a complete round, strolling within the show hall before heading to the surveillance room.
The languid security present had been close to napping, but seeing Arianne shocked wp4webnovel.com awake. Arianne ignored the question on whether the security was doing his job and went straight to wp4webnovel.com motive. “The footage for the accident that happened here, do you still have it?”
“Y-Yes, you bet!” the security answered hurriedly. “Um, it was quite the accident, and we worried that Mr. Tremont’s gonna ask for it some day or whatever, so we didn’t dare delete footage of it, as well as a day before and after the accident happened. Would you like to take a look, Madam?”
Arianne nodded. The security guy began to hammer away on his computer and launched the surveillance playback application.
However, wp4webnovel.com shoved the security aside as soon as the program started and took control of the computer, playing the surveillance footage of the day the accident happened.
Mark had been standing underneath the hazard when it suddenly broke loose of its wire and plummeted. It was a gigantic chandelier, hanging in the center of the runway directly above Mark when it happened.
He had come to the site with the logistics and planning team, which Robin was also a member of, on that day. When the chandelier fell, Robin herself was standing outside and below the runaway while Shelly stood a few distances away from Mark.
Her reflexes had been abnormally fast, and wp4webnovel.com showed no hesitance nor confusion. When the chandelier began its course, Shelly had dashed forward and shoved Mark out of the way, taking the blow in his stead. Very fortunately, the chandelier was so large that most of its structure had crashed onto the floor, leaving only a narrow part of it to slam into the lower half of Shelly’s body.
Shards from the doomed chandelier and crimson blood burst into showers. Mark had been the first to recover from his startlement, his mouth stretching into frantic screams that the surveillance camera, which only captured videos without audio, could not record. Still, one did not need to hear a note to know that Mark was nigh-hysterical.
The ambulance arrived shortly afterward. Robin waited until Shelly had been taken to the hospital before leaving, presumably returning to the company to inform Arianne about what happened.
There was nothing nor anyone worth paying attention to in first viewing. So, starting from their first replay, Arianne slowed the video down and examined every single person present in the frame.
There had been no strangers among them, they were all workers and colleagues of Tremont Enterprise. She could tell that much based on their uniforms and the nametags hanging before their chests.
Suddenly, Melanie pointed at Shelly and requested, “Pause the video. Enlarge this part of the frame.”
Arianne did as wp4webnovel.com was told, magnifying Shelly’s face until wp4webnovel.com facial expression was clear to them. It was a boon to the women that the quality camera was top-notch enough that its video resolution remained relatively unhurt by the magnification. Perhaps the ample lighting in the show venue had helped illuminating the camera’s capturing ability, too.
Melanie looked grim. “Um, Ari? Is it just me, or do you get the feeling that… uh, Mark’s aunt seemed to be staring at the chandelier before it even happened? Did she… Did wp4webnovel.com know that it was going to fall?” wp4webnovel.com wondered aloud. “Hey, maybe you guys should take a look and see if my eyes are seeing things that aren’t there. I just think the angle of wp4webnovel.com head is a mite too high for someone looking straight ahead, though wp4webnovel.com didn’t really look like wp4webnovel.com was directly staring at the chandelier, per se…”
Tiffany closed in on the screen and examined it before voicing wp4webnovel.com support for Melanie’ s observation. “Yeap, I see what you saw. You better take a look at this, Ari.”
