Madelaine was hesitant. She had always felt that Lynette wasn’t very reliable.
She figured that if Janet found out that the dress was Lynette’s doing, she would have to cut ties with Lynette. Otherwise, Janet would definitely not let her off the hook.
Lynette’s pink lips were curled up slightly, and she was full of confidence.
Their little scheme didn’t work this time, but they would have more opportunities in the future!
How can I lose to Janet in the first stage? It’s ridiculous!
Meanwhile, the assistant led Janet to Robert’s office.
As soon as she entered, she saw Robert, Charlie, Nina, and another man sitting inside.
“Sir, you were looking for me?” Janet’s voice was cold, and without waiting for Robert to speak, she found a seat and sat down.
She didn’t regard the man with respect at all.
Robert, however, was unperturbed. The expression on his face was serious. “Miss Jackson, I called the person in charge of surveillance over. He’ll search for the footage and we’ll uncover the truth!”
Janet crossed her legs; her expression was stoic.
The look on her face seemed to be saying ‘whatever’.
“Bring up all the surveillance footage from yesterday. Let’s see who has been in close proximity to Miss Jackson’s seat!”
The administrator of the control room nodded, then sat in front of the computer and nimbly clicked away on the mouse.
The administrator had been working in Woodsbury University for many years, so dealing with this system was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
He puffed up his chest and confidently opened the surveillance footage from the night before.
However, the scene before him stopped him in his tracks.
“The video is gone!” The administrator exclaimed with a look of disbelief.
Mere seconds after his revelation, everyone except for Janet was wide-eyed. Shock was written all over their faces.
Robert nearly fell off his chair. “The video is gone? What happened?”
Did this mean that they wouldn’t be able to find out who messed with Janet’s dress last night?
Then, what was he supposed to tell Mason?
Robert was at a loss. He shot Charlie—who was behind him—a pleading look.
At that moment, Charlie was also overwhelmed with shock. Even so, he recovered quickly, so he didn’t look as flustered.
He frowned and conceded, “If the video is missing, it just proves that this incident was premeditated!”
“Obviously! I’m asking you for another method to solve this case!”
Charlie touched his chin as the gears in his mind got to work.
Not long after, he slowly opened his mouth. “Mr. Goldstein, we should let the computer science students give it a go!”
Right now, the computer science students might be the only people who could recover the footage.
As soon as he said that, Robert’s eyes lit up and he nodded. “All right. Bring a few skilled computer science students over.”
Janet’s actions halted. Her lips curled, but she said nothing.
A few moments later, many people were standing outside the principal’s office looking puzzled.
Why did Mr. Goldstein suddenly call us to the office? Is something big going on?
A few of them opened the door in confusion. They were astonished to find a few leaders sitting in front of them as well as a girl seated in the corner of the sofa.
The principal released a dry cough, then said solemnly, “We called all of you over because we need your help retrieving some lost footage.”
Hearing this, the students rubbed their hands together. “No problem!” To these computer science students, finding videos like this was a piece of cake.
