“The accounts that had logged into this computer were commonly used accounts. There were no new accounts.”
According to the data shown from the computer, Lucas took a deep breath and read the results out loud.
“According to the frequency of use of these accounts, it is indeed Mrs. Morrison’s account. The time when the video was uploaded yesterday, the account that logged into the video website belongs to… Mrs. Morrison.”
The entire conference room was in an uproar upon his words.
What Lucas said directly confirmed that the video that was uploaded the day before was done by Alice.
Alice’s expressions were extremely ugly. Her face was paler than the color of the wall behind her.
Lucas continued, “A program to automatically upload the video was also installed in Mrs. Morrison’s computer. The time of usage was… yesterday afternoon. After being used once, the program self- destructed.”
Upon Lucas’ words, Brettley tiredly pushed the keyboard away. “Alice, apologize.”
What Bethan said was right.
Bethan was the victim. She had the right to pursue this matter.
Alice bit her lips tightly. She turned to look at Brettley. “Brettley…”
Brettley did not even bother to look at her. “Just apologize. You crossed a line this time.”
Alice gritted hard. Although she was unwilling to do it, she still got up.
Alice walked over to Bethan and bowed at her. She said grudgingly, “Bethan, I’m sorry. I should not have uploaded the video online and instigated this incident. I should not have deliberately framed Arianna for it too…”
Seeing Alice in front of her, the woman who had the exact same face that she used to have, Bethan gritted her teeth.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang through the entire conference room.
Alice’s face turned to the side due to the slap. Her face was burning with pain.
She turned her head back in disbelief and stared at Bethan in shock. “How dare you slap me?”
“This slap is on behalf of your father, Joseph Peterson.”
Bethan took a deep breath. Her voice was filled with an irrepressible rage. “He is just a normal old man. Without your instructions, would he be interested in jewelry design? Would he sneak into my office to take photos? If Mo did not send out a statement today, do you know that he will go to prison? I’m hitting you for being a terrible daughter! “
Alice gritted her teeth hard. She truly wanted to tear Bethan’s face off!
Joseph Peterson, her father?
Who the hell was he? If not for the husband and wife duo to still have some value that Alice could take advantage of, she would not have cared for them at all!
At that moment, Bethan dared to slap her because of them!
Alice bit her lips hard. She suppressed the raging resentment in her heart.
She knew that she could not confront Bethan face -to- face at that moment. Brettley and her other colleagues were all there. She could not express any signs of seething hatred she had toward Bethan.
She took a deep breath and clutched her burning cheek.
“You were right to slap me. I would slap myself too. Why can’t I control my brainless father? I knew that they were brainless. Why did I still get them to send me food to the office?”
Then, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Bethan.
“Ms. Bethan, don’t worry. From today onward, I won’t let them send food to me in the office anymore. I will send them back to Sea City. Let them spend the rest of their lives there! “
Bethan furrowed her brows. She could hear the threats in Alice’s words. She raised her head and looked at Alice one more time.
Actually, all this while, she felt that Alice should be the sister that was swapped by Joseph.
It was only…
“That’s enough.”
Brettley closed his eyes exhaustedly, sitting on the main seat.
“Alice has apologized. You have also slapped her in return already.”
Then, he picked up Bethan’s employee tag and threw it back to Bethan. “Don’t you dare say such things as resigning in the future.”
Bethan picked up her employee tag.
“There is something else Mrs. Morrison has not apologized for yet.”
Bethan smiled.
“How would Mrs. Morrison dare to upload a video of the design department’s internal meeting? Everything we said in the meeting is confidential. Mrs. Morrison is your wife, how dare she record the video?”
Alice sneered, “Bethan, don’t think that just because I made a mistake, you can blame everything on me. I really did not take the video.”
“If it was not you, who else?”
Bethan did not want to listen to Alice find any more excuses.
She harrumphed coldly, “If it was not you, did the video appear out of thin air?”
Alice slightly squinted her eyes. She turned her head and swept a glance at Courtney, who had curled up into a ball, not daring to let out a single breath.
When their gaze met, Alice smiled meaningfully at her.
The next second, Alice pointed her long finger at Courtney. “She was the one that gave me the video.”
“I did not! “
Upon Alice’s words, Courtney, who had been curling up into a ball immediately jumped up in anger. “I didn’t do it! It was not me! I did not take the video, I…”
Brettley lightly furrowed his brows. He turned to look at Bethan. “Do you still remember the seating in the meeting yesterday?”
Bethan nodded. She might not be good at other things, but her memory was exceptional. She could still remember things clearly from six years ago.
Let alone the meeting was only just a day before.
Brettley, sitting in the main seat, nodded. “Where did Alice sit yesterday? Where did Courtney sit?”
Bethan pointed them out. Upon her words, there were cold sweats on Courtney’s forehead.
At that moment, she finally understood why Alice, who usually sat next to her, would choose to sit opposite of her at the meeting the day before.
The explanation Alice gave the day before was to avoid complications. She was afraid that Bethan would notice that the two of them were scheming together.
However, at that moment, when Brettley got Bethan to point out where they sat, she finally came to a realization.
Alice has never truly treated her as a friend!
Alice chose to sit separately from her, not because she was afraid of sitting together, but she would not be able to explain the angle of the video!
“Lucas.”
Brettley swept a glance at Courtney’s miserably pale face. “Go get someone to sit in the seats that Bethan pointed out just now. Take a video.”
Lucas understood what Brettley meant. He took his phone out and called Zach and Yuri.
Zach and Yuri were sitting on each side where Alice and Courtney sat the day before. According to Lucas’s instructions, they took a video in Bethan’s direction.
Only the video from Zach’s angle was exactly the same as the video uploaded the day before.
Zach was sitting where Courtney was sitting the day before.
The truth has been uncovered.
Alice pursed her lips. She lifted her head and looked at Brettley aggrievedly. “Brettley, I’m not lying, right? I did not take the video. I would not do something that would harm the company. It was all Courtney. She was the one that gave me the video and asked me to upload it onto the internet.
“She said that Bethan has offended her before, it just so happens that I have a thing against Bethan also. I hope to use this incident to let Bethan be accused of plagiarizing, so she won’t be so arrogant in the future.”
Brettley squinted his eyes. He looked at her teary face. “So you listened to her?”
Alice shook her head furiously. “I did not, but…”
