Chapter 324 Impressed By Olivia’s Skill
“Young Master Nolan, there’s a seven-second gap here.” Eugene furrowed his brows together as it seemed like someone had deliberately deleted some parts of the footage.
“Keep rewinding. I want to know who else Chris came into contact with before he served the drinks.”
Again, the security officer rewound the footage and to no one’s surprise, there was another gap which lasted for 4.37 minutes.
Eugene sneered at how Aleena had naively thought that she would be able to get away with it just by deleting the footage but at the same time, he couldn’t help but be impressed by how resourceful she was.
Then, he gave an instruction to the bodyguards standing outside, “Lock Chris up first.”
The bodyguards acknowledged his instruction before leaving.
The footage continued playing and it reached the part where Aleena made space for Olivia and how insistent she had been to propose a toast to her.
Throughout the entire process, Olivia behaved politely and she didn’t look like she was on her guard at all when she was interacting with Aleena.
Both Alex and Hayden were also staring fixedly at the screen to check what they had been so busy doing at the time that made them miss out the problem with Olivia’s drink.
In the footage, Olivia was seen lifting up her wine glass and turning her body to face Aleena, and just like that, the plate on the table was pushed onto the floor by her arm. What followed shortly after that was them putting down their wine glasses and bending down to clear up the mess on the floor.
Eugene furrowed his brows before looking up confusedly at Alex and Hayden, who appeared similarly flummoxed.
Surprisingly, they still couldn’t figure out how Olivia had done it even with the footage.
However, Eugene had a hunch that she must have done something at that time. It was just that when the footage was playing at normal speed, they couldn’t see how she dropped the plate at all.
Again, he instructed the security officer, “Play the footage at a slower speed!”
The security officer did as he said and it was only when the footage was playing 8 times slower than the normal speed did Eugene manage to see her movement clearly.
In fact, Olivia had already nudged the plate closer to the edge of the table in a barely noticeable manner before the plate was dropped so that when she later turned her body, she would be able to reach the plate with her arm. Just as Aleena bent down to check if she was injured, she made use of that opportunity to place the glass of drugged drink next to Aleena’s glass rather shrewdly.
She had done everything so swiftly that no one would be able to notice anything without scrutinizing it.
With that, by the time Aleena straightened up, she would naturally take the glass which was nearer to her and drink the glass of drugged drink that originally belonged to Olivia.
Alex, who was very impressed with Olivia’s skill, exclaimed, “My goodness, she can definitely move fast!”
Meanwhile, Hayden was so flabbergasted that he could not even utter a word.
With a faint smile, Eugene recounted, “On the day I met her for the first time at the airport, she bumped into a random guy like that and she somehow got the guy’s phone during the process. When I noticed her bringing that phone to the toilet, I assumed she was a habitual thief and because of that, I chased her out when she came to Nolan Group for a job interview on the basis that she had a bad character.”
As soon as he said that, both Alex and Hayden were gaping at him with admiration and consternation at the same time.
“How did you guys patch things up after that?” Alex asked.
Hayden questioned, “Did she tell you anything about the guy’s phone?”
Eugene’s face would be filled with warmth and affection whenever Olivia was mentioned. “I checked the CCTV footage of the airport later on and found out that the guy was the thief instead of her.
Olivia just happened to catch him stealing that phone which belonged to another girl but because she didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it, she retrieved the girl’s phone from the thief using the same way he had stolen it earlier.
The reason why she went to the toilet with that phone was because she wanted to return it to the girl. Regarding our row that took place during the auction at the bar, she only started a fight with me because I rejected her job application at that time.”
“If that’s the case, how did the two of you…” Alex was really curious as to how the two of them, who were arch-rivals in the first place, turned into such a lovey-dovey couple.。
Eugene seemed to be in great spirits today probably because he was glad that Olivia managed to avoid the drugged drink, or probably because he was proud of how brilliant she was.
In short, he was in a buoyant mood, so much so that he decided not to be bothered by the fact that Olivia was brought back home by George.
