Chapter 348
Aurelia narrowed her eyes before getting a clearer look at the strap. “How can your eyesight be so great when you stare at computer screens every day?”
He shot her a glance. “You have such a weird view of things. Looks like Eva chose the wrong person to mess with.”
She pursed her lips and focused on Kimberly’s strap. “Hang on. Both straps were on her shoulder ten seconds ago but one ended up under her arm ten seconds later. That means she opened her purse.”
Kimberly was wearing a black dress that was the same color as the straps of her purse. Hence, when the strap slid down, one couldn’t tell unless they paid close attention.
“Look at who’s standing in front of her.” Leslie pointed at the screen.
Aurelia stared at the hotel staff in uniform. “That’s a hotel staff.”
Someone had likely ordered room service and the hotel staff was delivering orders.
“Hang on.” Aurelia thought about it and took a closer look.
The hotel staff was playing with his phone and didn’t notice Kimberly stepping closer to
him.
After taking this step, Kimberly looked visibly more relaxed.
“The cart,” Aurelia said confidently. “There’s usually a trash can underneath the cart.”
“Yeah,” Leslie agreed.
She sighed a breath of relief upon finding a way out.

right time. This would have gone unnoticed if they hadn’t watched the surveillance footage frame by frame.
Aurelia bit her lip and immediately stood up. “Let’s go. We need to find that wire.”

Leslie held her back. “You can’t go. You’re a suspect now. If you tamper with evidence, it could easily lose its credibility. It’s more convincing to leave the rest to the police.”
Upon hearing this, Aurelia slapped her forehead. She panicked to the point that she forgot about such an important matter. “Then I’ll find the police first.”
With that said, she tried to free her hands to go through her bag. It was then that she realized Leslie had been holding her hand the whole time, and that there was a temperature difference between their hands.
“What’s wrong?” Leslie asked.
“Um… could you let go of my hand first?” Aurelia asked.
He loosened his grip casually. “Sure.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Aurelia quickly turned away to find her phone in her bag.
Little did they know, there was another storm brewing online while they focused on the surveillance footage.
Aurelia considered herself ordinary and it took four years for her to gain a little over three hundred followers. Yet, Eva’s actions brought her tens of thousands of followers in one fell swoop.
By now,
the online focus had completely shifted. It used to be about the 50 million dollar necklace, but now it was all about her personal scandals.
It was getting more outrageous, with many men claiming to have had dealings with he
One of the latest posts, which was just posted not long ago, caught her attention.
She clicked on it and was shocked to see a video of her being harassed at the train station. However, the video had been cleverly edited to make it seem like she was welcoming the advances. She was even seen negotiating prices and hitting someone with her purse.
