The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1051
Chapter 1051: 488_3 Chapter 1051: 488_3 Aubree Groove pulled her hand away and said indifferently, “There are so many people here, why are you so certain that he stole your son’s toy?
Please present your evidence.
Otherwise, it’s slander and you will have to bear the legal consequences.”
The woman squinted and eyeballed her, suddenly pointing at Aubree Groove and saying, “I know who you are.
You’re involved in that murder case that caused such an uproar on the internet a while ago, aren’t you?
You must have quite a bit of experience with court cases.
That explains it, you and this little boy are birds of a feather, neither of you is any good.”
“Do you mind your language?” Raquel Webb stepped forward to say.
The woman crossed her arms, “You don’t like the way I talk?
...
Then don’t do unsavory things.
Even though the matter has been smoothed over, everyone has eyes.
A murderer’s daughter, participating in the Spring Festival Gala through charity, it’s ridiculously funny.”
The onlookers’ gaze towards Aubree Groove gradually changed.
Aubree Groove never lost her cool throughout it all, always remaining calm and composed, which made the woman on the opposing side look like an unreasonable shrew.
“Stick to the topic at hand, please present your evidence, otherwise it is slander.”
The woman began to throw a tantrum, “Alright, you think you can bully me because I don’t know the law?
I am going to sue you in court.”
“Quite a lively scene.” The voice fell, and there was a sudden silence all around.
“Director Bartholomew is here.”
“Director Bartholomew shouldn’t be bothered about such trivial matters…”
Who knew, the woman’s face changed as soon as she saw Director Bartholomew, “Director Bartholomew, your production team shouldn’t allow a thief.
Please fire him from the team.”
The woman pointed towards Jordan Robinson as she spoke.
Ellington Bartholomew had a slight headache, there were too many nuisance these couple of days.
“Then let’s call the police.” Ellington Bartholomew looked towards his assistant.
The assistant immediately dialed 110.
The woman was taken aback and quickly said, “Director, calling the police would blow things out of proportion, it won’t look good.”
“I’m doing this to seek justice for you, whoever stole it, will bear the responsibility.
Fine, there’s surveillance footage, when the police arrives, they’ll look at the footage and then the truth will be revealed,” he replied.
Ellington Bartholomew yawned, “Alright, everyone shouldn’t gather here anymore, go and do what you have to do.”
The woman’s color turned pale as soon as she heard about the surveillance footage, she looked around, but failed to find any surveillance equipment.
The woman laughed awkwardly, “Director, are you making a joke?
Where is the surveillance system here?”
Ellington Bartholomew grinned, “What, you think we don’t have a surveillance system here?
With so many people around, if something happens, it would be hard to fix responsibility, but with surveillance, we are afraid to put a psychological burden on everyone, so here we have hidden cameras installed.
Of course, I assure you all that there’s none in the changing rooms.
Well, now you see how important surveillance is.”
Aubree Groove glanced at Ellington Bartholomew, who winked at her.
He normally seemed quite serious, but who knew he could also be so playful.
“Yes, when the police arrives, they can review the surveillance footage and it’ll be clear who stole it.” Aubree Groove spoke nonchalantly.
The woman bit her lip, “Director, let’s forget it then.
After all, he’s just a child.
If this gets out, how will he face others in the future?
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
As long as he apologizes to my son, I won’t press on with this.”
“Don’t drop it just like that.
Your son’s toy must be valuable that its loss is a great pity.
By checking the surveillance footage, we can easily recover it.
It doesn’t take much effort, just be patient.
The police station is near here, and it won’t take them more than five minutes to get here.”
The woman panicked, “Director, I can tell the child didn’t mean it.
I won’t press charges, let him go.”
“That won’t do, if we don’t clear this up, won’t he be slandered for the rest of his life?
Let’s wait.”
Out of the blue, the woman clutched her stomach, “Oh, my stomach hurts, I’m sorry, Director, but I have to leave.” She hastily dragged her son, who was still dazed, away.
Everyone now saw the situation clearly, this was a case of calling a thief to catch a thief.
Ellington Bartholomew’s eyes gradually grew colder.
“I know everyone is under a lot of pressure, but if anyone causes trouble for me again, they might as well leave now.
If this happens again, I won’t be lenient.”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Aubree Groove gently stroked Jordan Robinson’s head, softly asking, “What happened?”
Jordan Robinson thought for a moment and then said, “Sister, during the rehearsal yesterday, I accidentally stepped on his foot.
But I apologized to him right away, yet he wasn’t happy about it.
Besides this, I really don’t know why.”
Aubree Groove shook her head with a smile, “You have to accept that there are some not-so-kind people in this world, they are just temporarily diseased.
As long as you have done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Jordan Robinson nodded firmly, his eyes sparkling, “Sister, I understand.”
“Where’s your Mom?”
Jordan Robinson’s expression dimmed, “Mom left after receiving a call.
She asked me to stay here and not wander around.”
