Chapter 346
Leslie felt like something was weighing on his chest when Aurelia stared at him. He switched between the footage and asked casually, “Do you trust me that much?”
“Of course. You won’t lie to me. Besides, why would you lie to me?” she replied seriously. After all, Leslie had nothing to gain from lying to her.
He stopped typing for a moment and hummed in response, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly, she tugged at his arm. “There’s Kimberly and Eva.”
On the screen, Kimberly walked over to Eva. However, since there was a blind spot, one couldn’t tell what they were doing. The only thing they could be certain was that Kimberly met Eva before Aurelia did.
After that, Aurelia arrived at around the same time as Jared and Leon. The footage clearly showed that Leon spotted her and the screen froze.
“Aurelia, is there something you didn’t tell me?” Leslie asked in a low voice.
“What?” she asked in confusion.
“Why didn’t you mention that Leon saw you?” Leslie questioned.
“Mr. Synder, he just took a glance from a distance. It’s not a big deal,” explained Aurelia.
Leslie tensed and shook his head. “No.”
“Why?” She tilted her head and stared at him.
“He’s not a good person,” he said.
Aurelia pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing.
Leslie raised an eyebrow. “Am I wrong?”
She shook her head. “Let’s keep watching the footage.”
Despite his cold exterior, Leslie could be quite amusing at times.
Aurelia had never imagined that the word “amusing” could be applied to a mature man.
It was a bit of a contrast used to describe Leslie. But soon, her attention was drawn to the surveillance footage.
After Aurelia had gone upstairs, she entered the blind spot. Still, Aurelia made a new

discovery. “Mr. Synder, look here. It’s Eva’s assistant, Flora.”
“Yes, I see her,” Leslie said.
Flora was tasked with watching the briefcase and had been sitting in the lounge area to
protect it.
Although the lounge area was in a blind spot for the cameras, it seemed that the couch had been moved slightly for filming. Hence, half of Flora’s body and the briefcase were captured by the camera.
Aurelia thought that with such a significant discovery, they would surely find something.
However, it turned out Flora was exceptionally diligent and responsible. She never once left the briefcase unattended before handing it over to Aurelia.
“Could it really be because of my fall?” she asked in disappointment.
The look in Leslie’s eyes sharpened. “Not necessarily.”
With that, he started typing on the keyboard to quickly enlarge the footage. “Look at her hands.”
“Her hands?” Aurelia focused on the screen.
The image had been relatively small before, making it hard to see clearly, but now it was unmistakable.
When Flora handed over the safe to Aurelia, her fingers were turning the combination
lock.
Leslie explained, “This type of briefcase unlocks automatically after turned. It may seem ordinary, but in reality, the briefcase was already un you fell, the necklace fell out of the box.”

So Whe
Realization dawned on Aurelia. “That’s right. I remember when I fell, the bric: case opened mid–air. So the box was intentionally opened by someone.”
“This is an antique necklace from the auction house, and the inlaying technique isn’t as secure as modern ones. So if a little force is applied, it’s easy for it to break due to gravity, “Leslie continued.
Aurelia understood the situation a little more now. “Flora is just an assistant. She wouldn’t dare to do such a thing. She must have been acting under Eva’s order and Kimberly cooperated with them. I couldn’t have prevented it no matter how careful I was.

“As the person in charge of this shoot, Eva couldn’t have escaped all responsibility even if I was the one who dropped the necklace. Isn’t she afraid of something happening to herself as well?”
