Melanie’s statement was verified. Shelly had indeed been staring at the chandelier for a long time before the incident happened. After realizing this, they rewatched the surveillance recordings and discovered that from the moment Shelly entered the ballroom, wp4webnovel.com kept on subconsciously glancing at the chandelier. Initially, Mark wasn’t walking under that chandelier, but wp4webnovel.com only did so after Shelly said something to him, pointing towards the chandelier’s direction while wp4webnovel.com was at it.
Arianne’s entire body shivered down to wp4webnovel.com spine when wp4webnovel.com thought of something. However, wp4webnovel.com could not say too much since the security guard was standing next to her. Instead, wp4webnovel.com saved a copy of the surveillance recordings and left, but not before wp4webnovel.com made sure that the security guard had deleted all the surveillance recordings from their servers. The matter was serious, it would be better if less people were to learn about the fact.
After they left, Tiffany suggested, “Why don’t we go to my house? There’s no one at home right now, so it’d be more convenient for us to discuss while we study the recordings. Plus, it’s less convenient for you to walk around outside since you brought Smore along with you.”
The three of them agreed to it instantly. When they arrived at Tiffany’s house, they used wp4webnovel.com laptop to open up the recording and studied it once again. Feeling that wp4webnovel.com was being left out, Smore threw a tantrum. “Mama, mama, play with me.”
Arianne patted Smore on the head. “Mama’s busy right now, so could you be a good boy and play over there for a while? I’ll ask your aunt to bring you something to eat.”
Tiffany had to bring out all the junk food wp4webnovel.com had in wp4webnovel.com house before they could make Smore calm down somewhat.
The trio then went through the video recording for the umpteenth time before they came to a unanimous decision, Shelly definitely knew that the chandelier was going to fall beforehand! However, other than the video recording, which could not be used as evidence, they did not have anything else that could be used.
Suddenly, Arianne’s forehead broke out in beads of cold sweat. Tiffany was confused. “Why would his aunt do that? Why would wp4webnovel.com orchestrate the accident and make herself crippled in the process? Was wp4webnovel.com trying to gain Mark’s favor? But, if wp4webnovel.com hadn’t made it in time, wouldn’t Mark have been the one who got injured instead? The risk factor was too great, plus, what could wp4webnovel.com possibly be planning? The fact that she’s his aunt is set in stone, but did wp4webnovel.com still have to gain his favor? Is it possible that… we’re overthinking this? Could wp4webnovel.com have looked at the chandelier because wp4webnovel.com thought it didn’t look good or looked spectacular? That’s probably why wp4webnovel.com was staring at the chandelier, isn’t it?”
Arianne wavered after hearing what Tiffany said. “That is possible… What if we’re going about this all wrong? There’s nothing wp4webnovel.com could gain by doing that. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions with just this. I hope it’s just my imagination.”
Melanie was the calmest person with the clearest mind. “Arianne, stop lying to yourself. Mark’s aunt didn’t so much as flinch the moment the chandelier fell, which alone is enough proof that wp4webnovel.com knew beforehand and was waiting for the moment the chandelier fell. Any normal person would be shocked, with their pupils dilating, if something like that were to happen. If you don’t believe me, you can have a look at the bystanders at the scene. Robin was so shocked that wp4webnovel.com mouth gaped open and wp4webnovel.com had no control of wp4webnovel.com facial expressions. Shelly already made it in time to push Mark away, so would wp4webnovel.com not have had time to put on a shocked expression?”
Tiffany immediately became speechless. She did not mean to defend Shelly, all wp4webnovel.com wanted to do was console Arianne when wp4webnovel.com noticed that the latter had broken into a cold sweat. Plus, wp4webnovel.com could not understand what Shelly’s motives were.
Arianne took a deep breath and forced herself to maintain calm. “If his aunt is involved in this, wp4webnovel.com most definitely could not have done it alone. There’s definitely an accomplice behind all this. I’ve saved a copy of the surveillance recordings from two days before the incident, which encompass the entire floor of the showroom. Let’s do a thorough study and see if we can find anyone suspicious.”
It took the trio the entire afternoon before they could lock onto one suspect amongst the countless frames, a man in a technician’s outfit with a yellow safety hat on and a tool box in his hands. The suspect met up with Shelly in a corner near the elevator. Although the two of them only interacted for less than a minute, it was very obvious that Shelly had handed wp4webnovel.com something. After zooming in, it seemed to look like an envelope, though it was not possible for it to be a letter, since it was rather thick. The trio suspected that the contents of the envelope was money.
