Chapter 82
Amelia was stunned for a while, and she also misunderstood Lucas.
She thought that Lucas was on their side, so she was very happy.
She looked at Evelyn with a playful expression.
Lucas perceived their changes, and ignored it.
He asked the housekeeper to bring the computer and then turned on the monitored video which had been transferred before. Although others said that there was no problem with monitor, but his intuition told him that they should have missed something. Thus he investigated again carefully.
But when he watched it for the first time, he did not find anything useful.
But he had patience, so he went back and looked at it for the second time.
At this moment, the whole living room was quiet and all people stared at him.
Evelyn also stood behind him, seeing this, her eyes full of complexity.
She forced herself to be calm and followed him to watch the monitor screen.
Amelia was very uncomfortable when she saw the figures of Evelyn and Lucas.
"Lucas, I watched this video several times with Sophia, and I didn't find any problem, so it must be all right."
She wanted that Evelyn was settled with Lucas quickly. She said in a soft voice, "If you don't believe me, don't you believe Sophia?"
Hearing this, Evelyn looked at Lucas anxiously.
However, Lucas ignored Amelia's words, and he just focused on the monitor screen.
Then a light flashed over his eyes when he saw something in the screen. At the same time, she pressed the pause button.
The picture on the screen was that the maid of the main house bumped into Arlene when she went to the toilet.
Originally, there was nothing strange about it. It seemed that it was caused by haste and carelessness. But with the fast forward the video, the wrong side appeared.
His eyes fall on the waist of Arlene, it seemed that there had light reflecting in her waist.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Because the picture is very vague, Lucas constantly adjusts the mode, he made screenshots and enlarges the picture. Then the picture became clear, and his eyes are full of chills. It was the stolen bracelet that reflected the light.
The bracelet was not stolen by Arlene, but it was put into the pocket of the Arlene by the
maid.
"What else are you going to say?"
He looked at the maid coldly and questioned her.
The maid was so frightened that she stood shivering in her place and was at a loss.
Looking at this, Amelia's face turned pale.
She did not expect that Lucas would find the truth.
Sophia and Devin Hawk were both stunned.
Sophia looked at Amelia subconsciously, when she saw the strange look on her face. She took her hand and patted it silently, as if it were a comfort. Amelia showed a smile on the corner of her mouth which was uglier than crying.
But Evelyn was relieved.
She looked apologetically at Lucas.
She thought the man was trying to help Amelia, but she didn't expect that he would like to help her.
A smile raised on her face and then she glanced at Amelia, she did not say anything, and she just waited to see how to settle with them.
Lucas had not received the maid's answer for a long time, and then he asked in a stern voice again," What did you do when you went to the bathroom?" The maid looked at him in horror and trembled. "Master, I didn't do anything."
She said nothing about the bracelet, and only emphasis that she was going to the bathroom.
Lucas was angry when he heard it.
"who gave you the courage, now I have evidence in the hand, but you still tell lies. You really refuse to be convinced until you are faced with grim reality.
The maid did not expect that they have found the evidence. She stared with incredulity and her face turned pale. Her whole body was kneeling on the ground. "Master, please spare my life, I..."
She wanted to beg for mercy. But Lucas interrupted her before she said.
"Tell me, is it your own idea or other people order you to do that?" Hearing this, Amelia's heart was trembled.
She looked at the maid quickly.
The maid also looked at her to ask for help.
Amelia was shocked, and she threatened the maid with her eyes.
She must not expose her.
The maid naturally understood the meaning in her eyes. When she thought of Miss Morgan's promise to her, she suddenly looked down.
"Master, I did it. No one directed me."
She said everything was done by herself, which made Amelia relieved.
But Lucas frowned when he heard this.
He subconsciously thought that things would not be so simple, but now the servant confessed her guilt, thus he could not question further.
Thus his face became gloom suddenly.
But Evelyn seemed had anticipated this situation before.
She had been paid attention to the maid and Amelia all the time, so their little tricks had not escaped from her eyes.
She did not think that the follower of Amelia was such a loyal person.
Even so, she must take advantage of the things happened today to give a warning to Amelia.
"It is so called a thief in the family is difficult to guard against. Now we knew all things well, you should apologize to me first and then go to the police station to tell the truth. Otherwise there will be no ending!" Evelyn walked toward the maid and scolded.
Hearing this, Sophia's face turned terrible.
She thought that Evelyn's word really satirized her previous decision.
And she asked the maid to go to the police station to surrender, Isn't that an embarrassment to her?
"Nora, what are you saying?"
She asked discontentedly.
Seeing this, Evelyn naturally knew what she is thinking in her heart. Evelyn laughed and said, "Mom, don't mind it, I know you have a soft heart, but she was a servant who will hurt the owner, we can't keep such people., and we also can't fire her easily, thus avoiding that she may hurt others in the future."
It can be said that her words has blocked Sophia's intention of turning big things into small ones.
Sophia felt very angry, but she could not say anything. She could only stared at Evelyn fiercely.
Lucas knew that Evelyn want to do something, after all, she had suffered a lot before.
But in principle, she can't talk to elders with this attitude.
He looked at Evelyn with warning, and when he saw her being honest, then he announced, "Mom, this thing will be handled like what Evelyn said. I will handed the maid to the police, thus give Evelyn justice." Sophia could only shut up and let the maid be dragged out when she heard her son's words.
After the maid was dragged away, Lucas scanned around and thought that today's event was caused by the birthday banquet. Then he frowned and said, "Mom, since such thing happened in our home, I don't think you want any outsiders to come in and out of the main house. As for the birthday banquet, we can hand it to the people here. In other words, Nora was a princess in her family, and she had never took charge of such things, if we handed the birthday banquet to her, she may botch it up."
