Chapter 559 - 560: I'll Wait for You
Upon realizing she had let something slip, Jovana Shaw looked at Aurelia Shaw with fear.Last night.
Clara Philips grasped this crucial piece of information, snatched the mouse, and rewound the surveillance footage to last night's video.
Aurelia Shaw stood beside her, her lips pressed into a straight line.
The video swiftly moved forward several minutes, finally capturing a figure on screen.
Jovana Shaw staggered into the surveillance range, and suddenly, as if she lost all strength, collapsed to the ground and passed out.
Throughout the whole process, no second person appeared.
Clara Philips stared at the surveillance footage in disbelief, rewound it, slowed it down, and watched it again.
Nothing! She watched it again, and still nothing.
"How is this possible," she muttered, looking at Jovana Shaw, who also wore an incredulous face, knowing her daughter had no clue what was going on.
If her daughter wasn't lying, no, her daughter would never lie.
Aurelia Shaw tampered with the surveillance!
"You altered the surveillance!" Clara Philips shrieked.
Aurelia Shaw's face was indifferent, her red lips curling into a mocking smile, "You've already convicted me, what more can I say? You watched the surveillance, and then accused me of altering it."
"If I were really that capable, wouldn't you wonder why I would still send her back."
"Let her identify me? That I kidnapped her? Am I that foolish?"
Clara Philips was left speechless.
Indeed, if it were really the eldest daughter who kidnapped her, why send the second daughter back? And if so, how could she let the second daughter see her face and recognize her?
Doctor Sun stepped forward and said, "Actually, the second young lady might be under stress, her body long-endured torment, and I noticed signs of hunger. Her memory might be distorted, confusing hallucinations with reality."
It was an excuse, and if Jovana Shaw didn't go along with it now, she wouldn't find any other way to exonerate herself.
She hugged her legs, cried, "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry... it's all my fault."
Clara Philips embraced her, "Don't speak nonsense. None of this is your fault. Your body is weak, it's not something you can control. Just rest well and don't overthink, okay?"
Aurelia Shaw sneered.
And so the matter ended.
Clara Philips and her daughter, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, immediately changed tune, slandering her, and even when the truth was unveiled, didn't apologize.
Such malicious individuals, how did she ever think they were decent people?
...
The phone rang, Aurelia Shaw glanced at the caller ID and went outside to answer.
"Hello."
"Where are you?" Mason Nightshade's deep voice came through.
The restlessness in her heart seemed to be soothed, Aurelia Shaw smiled slightly, leaning against the wall, "At home."
"Cloud Pavilion Garden? Or the Shaw Family?" Mason Nightshade asked.
Aurelia could hear the sound of papers shuffling on his end, at this time... he should be at the company.
Sneaking a call amid his work?
Why did this feel a bit like they were in a romantic relationship?
"The Shaw Family." She said promptly from her mouth.
The sound of shuffling papers paused, and after a moment of silence, Mason Nightshade's slightly displeased voice came, "Don't stay in that house for too long in the future."
Aurelia raised an eyebrow but said nothing, waiting for his next words.
Mason Nightshade: "Too many bugs and flies, Balthazar Shaw is a fool. Staying there only sullies your eyes and ears, even having a meal is uncomfortable."
