Patrick’s imposing presence made it clear that when he spoke, Kent could onlyply respectfully. “Yes, Mr. Pansy.”


    Returning to the surveince room, Kent meticulously double-checked to ensure everything was in order before retrieving the USB drive.


    A few minutester, Kent returned to the store. “Mr. Pansy, here is the footage from that time.” Kent walked up to Patrick and handed him the USB drive.


    Patrick’s entire being exuded a chilling pressure, making Kent hesitant to even take a deep breath.


    Originally, Erica had asked him for a small favor, never expecting it to escte to involve Patrick. It was crucial not to attract unnecessary attention.


    In a cold tone, Patrick instructed, “y it.”


    “Yes.” Kent inserted the USB drive into theputer and started yback.


    Indeed, the screen disyed no sign of Jane and Erica.


    “It’s possible that their positions were in a blind spot, so the incident wasn’t captured,” Kent exined cautiously, stealing a nce at Patrick.


    “That’s impossible,” Jane said sharply. She clearly remembered standing not far from the entrance, well within the camera’s range. It couldn’t have missed them.


    The only possibility was that someone tampered with the surveince.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “y the video again,” Jane demanded, her eyes fixed on theputer screen.


    There had to be something amiss.


    “Miss North, we’ve already checked, and it truly didn’t capture anything. Why waste time ying it again?” Kent smiled nervously at Jane.


    “I told you to y it,” Jane shot a cold look at Kent.


    Her chilling aura made Kent’s heart inexplicably tremble. Following Jane’s instructions, he clicked the rey button.


    This time, Jane indeed identified the issue.


    “This video has been edited,” Jane walked forward, pointing at theputer screen.


    “How is that possible?” Erica’splexion changed slightly, taking the initiative, “Jane, don’t talk nonsense.”


    “Why wouldn’t it be possible?” Jane’s lips curled with a hint of mockery. She reyed the video, stating, “Clearly, there’s a jump in the footage. Approximately two minutes were deleted, and this period precisely coincides with when you intercepted me.”


    Although Kent had deleted carefully, leaving almost no traces, Jane, a globally renowned mysterious hacker known as Ada, could easily expose such tricks.


    Kent’s face turned somewhat unpleasant, and he quickly denied, “It’s not true. I’ve been in the surveince room all along, and no one touched it. The surveince video couldn’t have been deleted.”


    “What if it was you personally?” Jane scoffed lightly.


    Kent’s guilty appearance indicated his involvement in this matter.


    “Don’t talk nonsense!” Kent wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.


    “Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, we’ll soon find out.” Jane sat down in front of theputer, staring at the screen.


    Florence was bing uneasy. She had initially nned to frame Jane and make her a public spectacle, but the situation was deviating from her expected trajectory.


    Florence walked up to Jane, towering over her and questioned, “Jane, what are you trying to do?”


    “Of course, I’m restoring the deleted video footage,” Jane raised her gaze.


    Florence exchanged a nce with Erica, their faces momentarily frozen.


    Restore the deleted video?!


    That couldn’t be possible!


    Kent was aputer expert; once he deleted the video, there was no way to recover it!


    Jane, the country bumpkin, couldn’t possibly understand such matters.


    Thinking this, Florence rxed, ring at Jane, “Jane, stop struggling in vain. I advise you to apologize to Erica quickly! Do you think you can buy time by ying tricks and escape punishment?”


    “Whether it’s ying tricks or not, Miss Doyle, you’ll see for yourself,” Jane nced at Florence as if she were an idiot.


    Ignoring Florence, Jane’s fair and delicate fingers skillfully typed a series ofplex codes on the keyboard-graceful, confident, and efficient.


    A series of dazzling lines of code shed across theputer screen.


    Five minutester, Jane pressed the Enter key, casually saying, “Done!”


    To the astonishment of everyone, Jane reyed the video once more.


    This time, Jane restored the two minutes of footage deleted by Kent.


    On theputer screen, Jane and Erica’s figures appeared. Jane walked toward the store’s entrance, and suddenly, Erica rushed up, blocking her way.


    Though the conversation couldn’t be heard clearly, from their expressions and actions, it was evident that Erica was provoking Jane, preventing her from leaving.


    Jane appeared somewhat impatient, lightly pushing Erica aside. Taking advantage of Erica’s momentary daze, Jane swiftly walked out of the HN Boutique’s entrance.


    At that time, Erica’s dress was still intact.


    “No, this can’t be!” After seeing the restored video on theputer screen, Erica’s face turned pale, and she eximed.


    She looked at Kent with confusion and rm.


    Kent had deleted that portion of the video, so how could Jane recover it?


    Kent, too, was breaking into a cold sweat.


    He had taken every precaution, yet Jane managed to recover the video in just five minutes!


    Moreover, he couldn’t understand the codes Jane had typed!


    He stared at Jane in disbelief, a sense of panic welling up inside him.


    Who was Jane, really?!


    “Alright. Everyone can see clearly now what the situation was at that time,” Jane paused the video, pointing at theputer screen, speaking calmly, “When I walked out of the HN Boutique’s entrance, Erica’s dress was still intact. Therefore, it’s impossible that I damaged it!”


    People nodded in agreement:


    “We never expected the truth to be like this.”


    “So, Erica deliberately framed Jane?”


    “It seems we’ve wrongly used Jane.”


    Surprised expressions filled the crowd.


    In the face of everyone’s reproach, Erica’s face turned red and white alternately.


    Florence’s expression was even worse.


    Jane effortlessly turned the situation in her favor again!


    What was supposed to be a wless n, why!


    Seeing the vivid expressions on Erica and Florence’s faces, Jane smiled coldly, “Now that everything is clear, it’s obvious that Erica, you intentionally tore your own clothes and then tried to frame me.”


    After a pause, her sharp gazended on Erica’s face, and she said in a cold voice, “ording to what was just said, Erica, shouldn’t you be kneeling down and apologizing to me right now?”
