Chater 986


    Soon, a door closing sound emerged from the now empty video. Someone approached theputer,


    fingers flying rapidly across the keyboard as they searched for the


    surveince footage.


    Everyone stared at the figure on theputer screen, their surprise evident as they all swiveled their


    heads to look at rice.


    The figure in the video was a girl, wearing a blue and white striped top, with paste pink nail polish, and


    a silver heart-shaped ring on her ring finger.


    It was rice’s assistant, Alice.


    Alice took a step back, shaking her head in panic, “This has nothing to do with me. I swear!”


    Jonathan’s gaze turned frosty, “If it’s none of your business, then why were you messing with Estelle’s


    “I…I…” Alice stammered, too scared to speak. After a while, she finally exined, “I was just curious


    about who messed up the dress, so I wanted to check the surveince footage first.”


    Jonathan’s voice was cold, “I’ll ask you again, did you do this?”


    Alice started crying, “No, it wasn’t me!”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Jonathan scoffed, “Craig, call the police! The culprit’s fingerprints must be on the damaged dress. It’s


    worth a fortune, enough to send someone to prison!”


    “Right!” Craig answered crisply, taking out his phone to call the police.


    “No, don’t call the police!” Alice suddenly shouted, her face pale, “Please don’t call the police, I’ll tell


    you everything!”


    “Did you really do this?” Craig stared at Alice.


    Alice, crying out of fear, confessed, “Yes, it was rice who made me do it!”


    rice stood up and pped Alice, “You’re lying! Who told you to ruin the dress? If you did it, admit it,


    don’t make stuff up to shift the me!”


    Alice staggered back a few steps, then looked up at rice, “You’re the one who told me to do it. You


    said you hated Estelle and Gwen. You were supposed to look better than Gwen in the scene we were


    shooting today, but her dress was prettier than yours. You were jealous, so you told me to remove all


    the diamonds from the dress. Then Gwen wouldn’t have a dress to wear, and you could me Estelle!”


    rice stared at Alice in disbelief, “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    Alice looked at Estelle, “Everything I said is true. rice has told me more than once how much she


    hates you, because you hit her for no reason.”


    rice was at a loss for words, because she had indeed said those things.


    Gwen had an epiphany, “I was wondering why you didn’t like Estelle. So you two knew each other


    before?”


    Estelle looked at the tearful Alice, “How did you get the key to my wardrobe?”


    Ana, the assistant holding the dress, finally rushed to exin, “It was me! Alice and I are good friends.


    We were having tea together the other day, and I left the key on the table. Alice returned it to me the


    next morning. She must have made a copy, which is how she was able to ruin the dressst night.”


    “Why didn’t you say this earlier?” Craig asked coldly.


    Ana choked up, “I didn’t realize it was so serious. I was scared, so I didn’t say anything.”


    “I see!” Gwen sighed softly to Jonathan, “They’ve all wronged Estelle!”


    Jonathan turned to Mr. Kress, “Mr. Kress, what’s your take on this?”


    Mr. Kress was embarrassed, considering he had been ming Estelle all along, “Since the truth is out,


    Alice is fired. But rice still has a lot of scenes left. I need to report to Mr. Tucker and discuss what to


    do.”


    rice instantly cried out, “I told you, it’s not my fault! I might hate Estelle, but I didn’t do anything to


    hurt her!”
