Chapter 168 James remained silent, which was taken as an acknowledgment that them were no further questions.

Sophie glanced at a slightly quilty looking Nichole and asked with a smile, "Ms. Nichole, do you have any more questions?" Regaining her composure, Nichole tried to appear calm despite her inner turmoil, "No, that's all "Then we'll need to review the surveillance footage from the hotel. You're welcto access anything you need," Sophie continued, casting a seemingly casual glance at Nichole, who was trying to hide in James' arms. Nichole eyes darted away, and Sophie knew there must be something fishy going on.

Soon, the police had accessed the hotel's surveillance footage.

The footage first showed Colt escorting Nichole into a room, supposedly to change her clothes, before he shut the door and left.

At this point, Sophie paused the video and asked, "Colt, you brought Ms. Nichole here to change her dress and then left, correct?" Colt nodded, "Yes, Mr. Burke said Ms. Nichole's dress was unflattering and asked her to change it." Just as he finished speaking, James seemed to hesitate, wanting to say more.

Sophie frowned at James. Was her dress really that bad? It seemed James really didn't want any trace of her on Nichole.

Sophie resumed the surveillance video, which showed James first heading upstairs, but he stopped halfway and then moved towards the elevator to go back down.

Shortly thereafter, Harold appeared in the upstairs corridor, phone in hand.

Sophie queried. "Mr. Harold, what were you doing wandering around the second floor with your phone?" "I saw James and Nichole sneakily going up one after the other, so I wanted to see what was up, maybe catch them in the act... Sophie interrupted with a mix of frustration and amusement, "You were thinking of catching them red-handed, weren't you? You sure have a sharp mind." Knowing Sophie was defending him, Harold remained silent. He realized his actions were indeed childish Later on, the surveillance footage captured a scene that everyone would cto know.

Harold, seeing the door ajar, pushed it open, and Nichole screamed, drawing everyone's attention.

Sophie turned to James and said, “Harold followed because he saw you and Nichole heading upstairs one after the other, intending to catch you in the act. So, what was your reason for going upstairs?” James frowned, his gaze inadvertently falling on Nichole, who was biting her lip, looking hesitant to speak. Sophie chuckled, "Don't tell me, Ms. Nichole asked you to cupstairs because her dress got stuck or something, and she needed help?" Sophie had merely thrown out a guess, but Nichole's expression changed instantly, and even James' frown deepened.

Sophie hadn't expected Nichole to use such a clichéd excuse, nor had she anticipated that James would actually believe it.

"It seems it's true. You felt it was inappropriate after going upstairs, so you cback down. (Harold went ve upstairs and saw Ms. Nichole's door ajar, planning to snap sincriminating photos, only to be falsely accused by her." "Sophiel" James sharply interrupted her.

ally like that woman that much?" Harold scoffed, "James, you really

Sophie concluded, "Now that everything is clear, Ms. Nichole,m about your slander against Harold, shouldn't we handle this by the book?"
