How could Isabelle suddenly be unreachable?
An ominous feeling abruptly washed over me, like something was wrong. If anything had happened, Matthew would kill me. I began to feel anxious.
I borrowed a phone from someone nearby to rule out the possibility that Charlotte was deliberately avoiding my call. I tried calling again, but the result was the same. The number was unreachable.
This was bad...
I looked at the surveince cameras and immediately rushed to the security room. Using my position as the store manager of Silence, I managed to meet with the mall''s general manager. I made an announcement, requesting that Isabelle and Charlottee to the security room.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
I couldn''t sit still anymore. "I demand to see the footage!"
The general manager frowned, seemingly hesitant. I had no choice but to bring up my mother.
When I mentioned Mom''s name, the general manager finally relented and had the security guard pull up the footage. It didn''t take long before they could track Isabelle and Charlotte''s movements.
Shortly after I left, a young couple approached them. The woman appeared to have suddenly felt dizzy and copsed to the ground.
Charlotte immediately rushed to help the woman.
This surprised me.
Because, in my memory, she had always been cold, selfish, and self-righteous. I never expected her to show such concern.
In the footage, she seemed to have said something to the man after helping the woman, and they both walked toward the elevator together.
The general manager let out a sigh of relief. "This woman clearly didn''t feel well. They must have taken her to the hospital, which is why they haven''t returned yet."
I shook my head slowly. "If they were just taking her to the hospital, her phone wouldn''t be unreachable. Something else must be going on. Can you also pull up the footage from the parking lot?"
The general manager, who was growing slightly impatient, hesitated for a moment but then signaled the security guard to bring up the parking lot footage.
The footage quickly shifted to show Isabelle and Charlotte. As expected, after helping the woman into the car, they never returned, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
The general manager said helplessly, "See? I told you they were just taking her to the hospital."
I shook my head again. "Something''s wrong. Rewind this part. I want to look at it again."
The security guard obeyed, rewinding the footage.
This time, clearly saw a brocade box fall out of the car, hitting the ground and cracking open. But Charlotte didn''t react at all. Only the man with them picked up the box and casually tossed it back into the car. s?novel
This couldn''t be right!
I remembered clearly that Charlotte cared a lot about those packaging boxes. She had once said that these luxury packaging boxes could sell for over a hundred online.
Even if she were kind-hearted, there was no way she would just stand there emotionlessly while the box cracked open.
Something was off! This was definitely suspicious!
"Switch to another camera angle and get the car''s license te number!"
Once I had the license te, I immediately sent it to Victor, asking him to investigate the car.
It took Victor just five minutes to find something. "Mr. White, this car belongs to Alexander Arnoult, the heir of Arnoult Group."
I gasped in shock.
Alexander?
The same man who tried to harass and bully Charlotte but was dealt with by me,
had to apologize to her, and then got beaten up by her in the bar?
