Chapter 149

in the surveillance footage, Kirk asked Caroline to leave When she left, she happened to brush

past Avery

The gap between them was so small that they couldn’t see anything at normal speed, but they could

see everything when Avery slowed down the footage.

When Caroline brushed past Avery, she quickly reached into Avery’s bag and took something

away

If Caroline hadn’t properly looked at the video, she wouldn’t have noticed. At this moment, she finally

understood why Avery was so calm.

She had already tampered with the surveillance footage.

Avery wasn’t only cunning, but more importantly, she had the skills to back it up. She was a formidable

rival.

Caroline smiled brightly and asked, “Are you done watching the video, Ms. Mendeley?”

Avery bit her lip, glancing at her mother. Lia was squinting at the surveillance video, but she hadn’t

noticed anything.

Avery had no choice but to slow down the footage again. “Not yet. Let me watch it again.”

Caroline smiled slightly.

At this time, Lia finally noticed something in the video. Pointing at the screen, she said, “Wait.

Hang on… Avery, pause the video, then rewind it a little…”

Underneath Avery’s calm exterior, her heart was beating fast. She played the footage again, stopping it

precisely when Caroline put her hand into her bag.

This time, Kirk raised an eyebrow, looking at Caroline with a smile.

Caroline returned the smile. She crossed her arms, leisurely watching Avery’s performance.

Lia pointed at the screen. “Look! She really did steal it! This is irrefutable evidence! Ivan, Kirk- you’d

better give us an explanation. Avery’s life is ruined because of her!”

Ivan saw it as well, and he couldn’t believe it. He looked over at Kirk. “Kirk.”

Kirk softly caressed the soft flesh on Caroline’s waist, saying, “Do you have anything to say.

darling?

Caroline chuckled. “It just so happens that I have another copy of the surveillance footage, but it may

differ from Ms. Mendeley’s.”

“You have a surveillance tape?” Avery asked, her expression shifting.

“That’s right. I specifically asked for a surveillance video from the restaurant, and it’s here, in the

apartment.” Caroline smiled gently, emphasizing the word “specifically.”

She said, “Charles, can you please get it for me?”

“Sure,” Charles agreed. Then, he quickly returned with the surveillance footage Caroline had

mentioned and played it on the TV.

Unlike the previous video, this one had sound. In the video, after Caroline slapped Avery, everyone

could clearly hear the former asking the latter why she kicked her out.

Ivan frowned. “What’s going on?”

“Oh, it’s very simple, Dad. When Kirk passed out that day, I was going to take care of him, but Ms.

Mendeley asked the bodyguards to throw me out. No one could get past her,” Caroline explained.

Ivan stared at Avery sternly.

Avery’s face turned pale as she said, “That’s right. But Ivan, Kirk’s underwater claustrophobia only

acted up because of her. So, I took out my frustration on Caroline and refused to let her take care

of Kirk.”

Caroline’s fingers moved. She thought, “Kirk had underwater claustrophobia, but he still…”

Caroline looked at Kirk with red eyes. Kirk looked back at her, his lips curling into a cheeky smile.

Ivan frowned in disapproval. “Even if you did it for Kirk, you can’t treat Caroline like this.”

“Dad.” Generously, Caroline said, “Let’s just put this behind us. Besides, Ms. Mendeley really cares

about Kirk. After I went back, I reflected on my behavior. I was too impulsive.”

She played her role as a reasonable daughter–in–law. If Avery could act kind, so could she.
