Chapter 100 Beckham's Talent
Did they really believe a kid’s words?
People looked at each other, feeling a little absurd.
Alexander nodded to the hotel manager, “Go and have a look." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes, Mr. Logan."
Alexander asked Beckham, “Why are you so sure that she is hiding in the operation room?"
He just asked casually, not really expecting a little kid to answer.
Beckham was very clever, but it was not something that could be used to find a person out.
"It's simple, just from the surveillance cameras, " Beckham answered with a contemptuous expression, he pointed to a dozen of alternating surveillance images with his chubby finger and said seriously, "That bad guy disappeared after she showed in the storage room. The surveillance system's damage meant she must have been here or had an accomplice. And there are three surveillance cameras from the storage room to the surveillance room..."
Beckham pointed at three surveillance monitors, which were exactly located between the storage room and the surveillance room.
There was no mark on the monitors. And it was almost impossible to find them at a glance if someone was not familiar with the locations of surveillance cameras.
It was Beckham's first time to be here, so there was no way he knew those locations.
But what he had said was totally true, which surprised Alexander.
Beckham continued, “That bad guy didn’t show up in the main entrance hall or the back door. Considering time and distance, that person must have been hiding in the hotel after we found out. Judging from the monitoring information, the farthest operation room from here was the most likely place where she hided in."
Such coherent and logical words were actually from a little kid.
Others seemed not to catch what he had said, but Alexander was shocked.
The young voice was very convincing.
Florence felt shocked too. She knew that Beckham was smarter than other kids, but she did not know he could be this much smart.
William looked at Beckham as if he was looking at a piece of treasure, his eyes sparkling, “Alexander, this is a good seed."
Even those kids in the island could not compare with him. No, there was one, Vincent.
It would be a pity if Beckham, with such analytical skills and keen observation, was not cultivated well.
Alexander knew what William had thought - he wanted to take Beckham to the island.
It was unrealistic. Florence would not agree.
Brielle and Andrew did not quite understand, they only knew that Beckham was brilliant. He was really worthy of their caring.
Beckham stared at the surveillance monitor and added, “The operation room is closest to the back door."
In other words, it was convenient to escape.
Someone in the crowd said, “I don't catch what they say, not in a word. I just don't believe a kid can say it right."
With his last word, the manager came with someone.
"Let go of me! What are you arresting me for? I don't do anything wrong."
The person who was struggling was exactly Danica.
Now, no one could say anything to question Beckham.
Florence gave Beckham a thumbs-up, “Beck, you're great."
Beckham smiled innocently; he looked at Alexander and said in confidence, “It is just a small case."
Wasn't it the same sentence William had praised Alexander?
This kid was provoking Alexander.
"Mr. Logan, she was in the operation room." The manager asked the security guards to take Danica to the front.
Alexander glanced at her coldly; he frowned, “Search."
As soon as he finished, someone came up to search on Danica.
Considering Danica was a woman, they sent a female staff to do the searching.
Danica was in a panic, “What are you doing? Stop now! Otherwise, I'll sue you for violating my human rights."
Andrew said sternly, “If you did take the bracelets, what await you is a prison sentence."
"I didn't have any bracelets; I don't know what you are talking about?" She was still quibbling.
And nothing was found on Danica.
Colleen, who was standing in the crowd, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She wished so much that Florence would suffer.
As long as Florence could not find the bracelets, Colleen would spend money to spread rumors on the internet that Florence had donated fakes at the charity dinner.
Colleen even had prepared the titles.
It would be an excellent chance to slander Florence; how could she miss it?
Florence was also surprised that the bracelets were not found, “Danica, as long as you give the bracelets back, your responsibility can be relieved."
"Florence, are you trying to get revenge on me? Just because I said bad things about you, I have to be insulted like this, right?" Danica struggled out of their confinement and became very arrogant, “You donated the fakes and want me to take the blame for you, don't you?"
Danica's words caused a lot of discussions.
Could it be true that Florence wanted someone to take the blame for her?
Getting revenge on someone?
Florence was calm, while her words were sharp, “You said it wasn't you, then why did you sneak out of the storage room and hide in the operation room?"
"What do you mean by sneaking? I just hurried to go to the washroom. As for the operation room, I had lost my hairpin in it and I went to find it." Danica responded calmly, without any panic.
However, Florence smiled, she looked at Alexander, both of them thought of something.
"Go and check the washroom, " Florence had a smile on her face while her eyes sparkled coldly, "Carefully."
Hearing the word 'washroom', Danica was completely in a panic.
Soon, the staff got back with the bracelets, which looked exactly the same as the fake ones.
"Ms. Scott, we found it in the water tank of the washroom."
The surveillance video that had returned to normal showed that Danica had walked into the washroom, and she had personally admitted that she had been there. These were all ironclad proof.
"It's not me, I have nothing to do with it. I just used the washroom, should everyone who went to the washroom be considered as a suspect?"
Danica refused to admit it.
"It's not you?" Florence said calmly, “Then take it to the police station and have the fingerprint test to see who it is. No one touched the bracelets except me and the staff who searched for it. If there was any other third fingerprint on it, that would be the thief’s, do you dare to have a test?"
Alexander said solemnly, “Send her to the police station."
Danica trembled with fright because of his cold voice, she knelt on the ground with a thud, “Don't take me to the police station. I was wrong. I hated Florence so I did this, but I never really meant to steal. I originally wanted to return it afterward. I just wanted to teach Florence a lesson."
She did manage to give Florence a lesson.
Florence recalled the cruel words Danica had ever said when she left the company.
"Danica, you have misbehaved yourself and lacked sincerity. You are an adult, so you should take responsibility for your own behavior, " Florence said coldly, “Didn't I give you a chance just now?"
Danica knelt down and begged for mercy, “Florence, Florence, for the sake that we were once colleagues, forgive me, please. I didn't really mean it."
"You destroy the surveillance system and hide the bracelets in the washroom, which proved that you have planned this carefully. Now you say it is not intentional, do you think that we are all blind or foolish?" William twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, and said to Andrew, “Mr. Cooper, take her to the police station, don't waste time."
Because of her stealing, almost an hour had been wasted.
But people did not think their time had been totally wasted, it was all worth it to see Alexander being so indulgent and patient to a woman.
Danica was sent to the police station and the charity dinner continued.
And what happened next once again confirmed everyone's guess.
Alexander had bought the bracelets that Florence donated for 50 million dollars, and the 50 million dollars would be donated to the children in mountain areas.
The pair of bracelets was only worth one million, so it was obvious that Alexander had spent the money to please Florence.
Florence stood up, smiled at Alexander, and expressed her thanks, “Thank you for your support to those children in mountain areas, Mr. Logan."
The auction was still going on, and it was the turn of a Hermes bag donated by Colleen, with a starting price of one million.
Colleen raised the placard, “One and a half million."
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
"I'll pay two million."
"Three million..."
The price was getting higher and higher with time passing by, Colleen became nervous.
It would be humiliating if she did not get the bag she had donated.
She lowered her voice and asked for help, "Thomas, I don't have enough money, could you please help me?"
