Chapter 298


    Corinne did not panic at all as she did not believe a word Lucas said. Why would she, when she did


    nothing wrong? There was no way a camera could record something that never even happened in the


    first ce.


    “Alright, why don’t you y the video, then?” she asked calmly.


    Lucas jerked up his chin once, gesturing to the secretary to turn on the television in the room. Then, he


    connected the mobile phone to the television screen so that everyone could watch the video.


    The video showed a female influencer standing on top of the embankment railing. A selfie stick was


    held high up in her hand, and it was obvious she was doing a live broadcast. The angle of the selfie


    stick happened to allow her phone camera to capture the street behind her, and Corinne could be seen


    in the right corner of the video.


    She was sitting alone on a bench, drinking Coke, and looking up at the sky. She was too far off to be


    able to tell what she was feeling. However, she did seem a little sad and lonely to be sitting there all


    alone.


    Corinne frowned with embarrassment when she saw just how pathetic she looked in the video. “Ahem!


    As you can all tell, I was alone.”


    Lucas looked at her. “So you’re confirming the person sitting on top of the bench in the right corner of


    the video was you?”


    “Yeah, it’s me. So where’s the perpetrator you so vehemently


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    insisted was there with me?” Corinne asked serenely.


    “All in good time, Miss Corinne.” Lucas‘ eyes darkened. Then, he clicked fast forward on the phone


    before stopping at a particr time frame. After the video returned to normal speed, they saw a young


    man with a bundle of leaflets walking over and sitting next to Corinne.


    The bespectacled young man looked to be about five feet and seven inches tall, slightly on the plump


    side and was dressed in a striped shirt. After sitting down for a while, the young man handed a leaflet


    to Corinne. He introduced the newly- opened barbecue ce, its opening hours, promotions, and other


    details.


    Corinne listened absent–mindedly and nced at the leaflet before epting it. The young man also


    asked for her social media ount so that he could send her the membership that she could apply to


    get a free te of premium steak.


    Corinne decided to sign up for the membership after considering the facts that the young man was still


    working at such ate hour, how he enthusiastically rmended the food worth getting, and that he


    would receive amission for any sessful membership registration which would definitely help


    with his living expenses.


    Corinne scanned the QR code on his phone and followed his instructions to sign up for the restaurant


    membership. At that time, she thought she was getting a good deal and could not wait to invite Little


    Rain Drop and King Maple to go there for dinner.


    It never crossed Corinne’s mind that all that would be identally recorded by a female influencer.


    However, it was


    just her luck that no one could hear the conversation between her and the young man since the female


    influencer’s high- pitched voice asking for sponsorship was louder than theirs. These two factors -not


    being able to hear what Corinne and the young man were talking about and her scanning the QR code


    on the young man’s phone–put Corinne back at the top of the suspect list.
