?Chapter 861:


    Simultaneously, the surveince footage provided a vital clue—someone, wearing a hat, mask, and an oversizedb coat, swiped another person’s ess card and snuck into Ste’sb at dawn. The person remained at theputer for almost ten minutes.


    Despite the disguise, the cameras recorded details that gave the person away—their height, body shape, and a small, habitual gesture.


    Everything pointed directly to Nina.


    Armed with the evidence, William and Ste entered Nina’s office. She was sitting there, sipping coffee and watching prepetition news, a self-satisfied smirk on her face.


    The moment she saw William’s cold stare, her smile faltered. Her coffee cup slipped from her hand, shattering on the floor, the contents sttering everywhere.


    “William, what… what is this?”


    She tried to act calm, but her voice trembled, betraying her anxiety.


    William didn’t waste a word. His gaze was ice-cold as he nodded to the tech team behind him. “Show her everything.”


    A technician ced a tablet in front of Nina, disying restored login logs, screenshots from the surveince cameras, and even clear footage from a convenience store camera capturing her stealing the ess card.


    Nina’s face drained of color. She shouted, “No! That’s not me! You’ve got the wrong person, William. I go to bed early. I was asleep all night!”


    William let out a mockingugh and threw a freshly printed report onto her desk.


    “Still denying it? This is a draft report from your ownptop, showing evidence of data deletion tools. Do you want the experts to exin how we recovered it, step by step?”


    With every word, Nina turned even paler, her body trembling. She couldn’t say a single word to defend herself.


    Your favorite tales are on gα?ησν????s??оnn


    She hadn’t expected William to act so quickly, nor for him to confront her with police involvement over Ste.


    Ste stared at Nina, feeling more confused than anything else. “Why? Was it really just to eliminate me from thepetition? Was it worth all of this?”


    Nina’s eyes burned with bitter anger. She yelled, “You don’t understand! Why do you get to stroll into the Carter family and have everything? I couldn’t stand it!”


    Nina jabbed a finger at William, her voice cracking under the weight of desperation. “I’ve loved him for so long, and he never once looked at me. Then you just appear out of nowhere, Ste, and suddenly you’re the one he pays attention to. Why you?”


    Tears rolled down her cheeks, stripping away her usual pride, leaving only eyes filled with bitterness and helplessness.


    William’s stare was cold and distant, as though Nina was nothing more than a nuisance. Without a flicker of emotion, he moved protectively in front of Ste and said in a steady voice to Nina, “She didn’t need tricks to earn her ce. She worked for it. You, on the other hand, chose sabotage, and that only disgraces the Carter family. Effective immediately, you’re dismissed from the institute. I’ll also be filing charges against you for corporate sabotage and espionage. The Carter familywyers will be sending the papers soon.”
