Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 818 Unable to Refute

The other servants also nodded.

“Yeah, that explains it.”

“Who can go in without the key? We can’t really fly into the control room, can we?”

“In other words, the suspect isn’t among we people working in the kitchen.”

But someone who was more coolheaded immediately asked, “Could anyone have stolen the key and

then put it back in your pocket?”

The man in charge of surveillance cameras quickly shook his head.

“That can’t happen. I carry the key with me everywhere. It never left my pocket. No one could have

stolen it.”

Hearing his words, the others were more bemused.

No one had stolen the key, but the footage had indeed been edited. Could it be done by a ghost?

At this thought, some servants’ faces paled.

Of course, Queeny never believed ghosts existed.

She still seemed unruffled. Her cool and steady eyes swept each of the servants’ faces.

At last, she locked her eyes on a girl standing in the corner.

This girl was very young, about 16. Perhaps she was not even old enough to work.

Queeny remembered that once when she passed by the garden, she overheard some other maids’

chitchat, who mentioned that this girl had been working here for three years.

Since she looked about 16 now, she must be around 13 three years ago.

She was surprised that Felix had hired such a young girl to be a maid here. At that time, she even felt

sorry for the girl. Because of this, she began to pay more attention to her.

Right now, the girl was lowering her head. Her nose almost reached her chest.

Her hands were wringing the corners of her shirt in anxiety. At a glance, one could tell she was tense

and fearful.

This puzzled Queeny.

“What’s with you?” she abruptly asked. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone was stunned by her question. Next, they all followed her gaze and turned to look at the girl.

As if she had sensed their gazes, the girl looked up, revealing her pallid and perturbed face.

“Nothing…”

Though she claimed she was okay, her trembling voice betrayed her. She was clearly feeling guilty.

Queeny’s eyes darkened.

Bella had also noticed something wrong by now.

She was not stupid after all. With some deliberation, she figured it all out. Then, she directly dragged

the girl out of the crowd.

“Tell us, did you do it?”

Bella’s voice carried an edge due to her annoyance. Scared, the girl shivered all over. Then, without

even trying to struggle, she dropped to her knees with a flop.

“No, I didn’t! It’s not me! I found them in the garden!”

Her remark staggered all the people on the scene.

As if something had occurred to her, Ella’s eyes turned cold. She then spun around and headed out.

Queeny didn’t stop her. Soon, Ella came back, holding several boxes of the highest-graded chicken

meat.

With a pained look on her face, she said, “Miss Horton, I found them.”

She handed the boxes to Queeny.

Queeny took over and glanced at the boxes before giving them to Gina.

“Gina, look, are these the meat you received?”

Gina took the boxes. In the next instant, her expression changed drastically.

Nodding vehemently, she replied, “Yes! These are the missing boxes.”

After that, she turned around and gawked at the girl in disbelief. “You did this? How could you do

something this stupid? Even though they’re expensive, how could you steal them?”

This girl’s name was Julie. Because of her young age, Gina and the other servants had given her a lot

of help.

They all held a compassionate concern for her. Besides, this girl was polite and worked very hard.

Thus, the others had seen her as their younger sister.

Yet, to their dismay, this seemingly sweet and well-behaved girl was actually a thief. She even almost

made Gina be the scapegoat and got her fired. Hence, everyone was disappointed and enraged.

Seeing their reaction, Julie shook her head frenetically. Tears had long drenched her face.

“It really isn’t me. Gina, I didn’t steal anything. I merely picked these up in the garden.

Bella snarled, “Nonsense! They had clearly been locked in the cabinet in the kitchen. How could you

find them in the garden? You’re really bad at lying!”

Hearing this, Julie didn’t how to clear things up. She could just kneel on the ground, weeping.

At this moment, another maid came forward and said, “Now things have come to this point, I might as

well tell everyone what I know.”

She then glanced at Julie with a torn expression on her face.

Still, her conscience overcame her hesitations. She said honestly, “We servants are not well-educated.

But Julie is different. She went to senior high and is familiar with computer stuff. She even knows how

to use Photoshop. If you ask me, she’s totally able to edit a video.”

As soon as she said this, some other servants also murmured in agreement.

With this information, Bella became even more gleeful.

“Then the mystery is solved. You have the boxes. You’re also the only one who can edit videos. If

you’re not the one who did it, who else can it be?”

As she spoke, she looked at Queeny.

Plainly, she was not used to being on the same side as Queeny.

Julie was still shaking her head. But other than “I didn’t steal them” and “I’m not the thief”, she could not

say anything else to defend herself.

In the face of the proof and the others’ testimony, her denials were simply hard to swallow.

Seeing this, Queeny slightly furrowed her brows.

Her intuition told her that this girl might not be lying.

But given the proof, she couldn’t think of anything to defend the girl.

Therefore, she looked up at Donald and said in a low voice, “Donald, deal with her as you see fit.”

Donald also put on a grave look and nodded.

He then said to Julie, “Since this is your first offense, and you’re still young, I won’t call the police and

send you to jail. But you can’t work here anymore. Pack your things and leave. Also, you shall not show

up around this castle again, understand?”

After that, Donald also cast a quick look at Felix, as though waiting for his approval.

Felix didn’t say anything. That meant he agreed with Donald.

Then, Donald turned to two other servants and said, “You two, help her pack her things and see her

off.”

The two servants said yes. Julie was still crying despite herself. Hearing her sobs, Gina couldn’t help

but feel for this girl.

“Although she has done something she shouldn’t have, she is still too young. Maybe she just let her

greed get the better of herself at that time.”

Thinking like this, Gina went over and berated, “Why cry? Tears won’t help you make up for your

mistake! Learn your lesson today. When you find a new job, never do things like this again, do you

understand?”

Through her sobs, Julie nodded and answered, “Yes, I understand.”
