Chapter 544


    “Sure thing.” The software engineer immediately sat back down in front of theputer to get the


    surveince footage Corinne asked for.

    Doing that required some time and Corinne was a little tired of standing so she looked around the


    restaurant for an empty chair she could pull over and sit. However, while she was doing that, she


    happened to meet Jeremy’s deep, dark eyes.


    Jeremy followed them to the restaurant because the matter involved his son but he did not insert


    himself in their investigation. Instead, he situated himself at a round table not far from where they were


    and lit up a cigarettenguidly as though the whole thing had nothing to do with him and he was only


    there to watch the show.


    The cigarette smoke obscured Jeremy from Corinne so it was hard for her to tell what he was


    thinking. She was starting to wonder whether he cared about Anya and Joey at all.


    Suddenly, someone passed her a bottle of mineral water. This pulled her out of her thoughts; she


    looked down at the bottle of mineral water and then up at Jason’s alluring and gentle smiling face.


    “Thank you,” she said as she epted the bottle of mineral water. She was indeed thirsty.


    Corinne twisted open the cap and took a sip of the water while sneaking a peek at Anya. ‘She still looks


    calm. I have to admit her acting skill is top-notch. That Oliver, however, looks like. he’s about to have a


    nervous breakdown. Look at his shifty eyes and flicking fingers.’


    After a few minutes, the software engineer stood up and reported, “Mister Lucas, Oliver did go into


    Bamboo Forest once after Miss Anya and her friends left the restaurant. He came out after a minute or


    so. I’ve already cut out the said footage for you to take a look at.”


    Lucas walked over and watched the surveince footage. Oliver indeed did go into Bamboo Forest 20


    minutes before the group arrived at the restaurant for the second time. He then red at Corinne and


    asked, “So what if Oliver went into Bamboo Forest again? That doesn’t prove anything.”


    “Mister Lucas, isn’t this proof enough that he was the one who took the memory card out of the security


    camera?” asked Corinne.


    Lucas did a double-take of Oliver up and down. “Are you the one who took away the memory card?”


    Oliver immediately shook his head so hard that his eyeballs nearly fell from their socket. “No! It wasn’t


    me! I don’t know what you’re talking about!”


    Corinne slowly twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle open while shenguidly said, ” Oliver, you’re


    already caught by the security camera to have gone into Bamboo Forest after we left and you’re still


    trying to worm your way out of this?”


    “I went in to clean the ce up!”


    “Oh, really? only needed one minute to do that? I must apud you for your efficiency but why did you


    lie just now? Why did you say you didn’t go in after we left when you did? What are you trying to hide?”
