Chapter 546
“When did I ever tell you to take out the memory card and destroy it? How did I contact you? Which bank did I use to transfer money to you? How much did I transfer?”
Ellinor quickly fired a series of questions at the waiter, Gavin, demanding immediate answers.
There was no doubt that this waiter, Gavin, was lying. He must be under pressure from Patricia, hence why he suddenly started lying just as the truth was about to
come out
What the hell did Patricia do to him?
However, such hastily made–up lies would definitely have many holes and would be easily picked apart.
Faced with such questioning, Gavin’s face turned tense again, hurriedly scrambling for answers, “It was half an hour ago. You contacted me through social media, asked me to do this thing for you, and even transferred some money to me”
Ellinor raised her eyebrows coolly, “Oh? Social media? So where’s our chat history? Show it to everyone!”
Gavin swallowed nervously, “What chat history? You were careful; after contacting me, you asked me to delete all your contact information and chat history!”
“Really? We only met for the first time today, when did we exchange social media contact information? How come I don’t know about it?”
“Ummm… you specifically found me before you left and asked for my social media account, how can you pretend not to know now?”
Ellinor snorted, “When I left, you had already run off. Where was I supposed to find you for your contact information?
Alright, let’s say what you said is true. If I really asked for your contact information, gave you money, and asked you to destroy the evidence, then why did you accuse me of snatching the soup pot from your hands and scalding that kid when you first saw me?
Since you took my money, you should be speaking up for me and perjuring yourself. Why aren’t you saying nice things for me?
Gavin, don’t you think your statements are contradictory and illogical?”
Gavin was already sweating bullets from Ellinor’s calm counter–questioning. Her logical thinking ability was far superior to his and he was on the verge of a meltdown.
“It was you… you told me to say it like that, you said it would sound more real…
Ellinor couldn’t help but laugh, “So, to make it more real, you’ve taken my money and betrayed me?”
Patricia was cursing Gavin inwardly for being useless. How could he not even be able to make up a decent lie?
Patricia put on an unbearable expression. With red eyes, she tugged at Balfour Howard’s arm, looking like she simply wanted to stand up for the underdog.
“Ellinor is being so harsh; isn’t she forcing the waiter to change his story? Why is she pushing the blame onto an innocent worker? I think it’s really unfair!”
Balfour looked down at his almost tearful sister and frowned, and his gaze toward Ellinor became extremely impatient.
Quinton also stepped forward to report his findings to everyone, “Mr. Howard, we’ve checked the waiter’s account, there was indeed a transfer of money into his account half an hour ago.”
