Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 59 Jealousy Kills

Jacob was feeling a little guilty, his gaze flickering.

“The classroom should have a surveillance camera. After we check it, we will then know whether Max was framed.”

Jacob felt relieved when he heard Elspeth suggesting to check the surveillance footage.

Fortunately, he had gone to the principal’s room earlier and deleted today’s surveillance footage. Otherwise, he would be exposed right now.

True enough, the principal shook his head and said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to do so. The surveillance camera appears to be having issues today, and the footage is not saved.”

Without the surveillance footage, Max couldn’t clear his name from everyone’s suspicion. Furthermore, he had always been a rebellious student, so the principal subconsciously assumed that his words were bare denial.

“Let me check it now.”

The principal then opened the surveillance settings in the computer, while Elspeth went over to check. Things were as she had suspected—the footage had been deleted on purpose, rather than due to a flaw in the surveillance system.

She then spent a few minutes entering codes to recover the data on the computer.

With that, the previously deleted footage then reappeared on the screen.

“Look at this, principal.”

Elspeth smiled as she pointed to the image of the surveillance footage. “This figure appears to be familiar. Is that… Jacob?”

The screen clearly showed that during recess, when no one was in the classroom, Jacob entered and sneakily placed the note on Max’s table before leaving, pretending nothing had happened.

“This…” The principal stared at the screen in disbelief. How is this possible? How could Jacob be the one who framed Max?

Elspeth, on the other hand, sneered. “I knew it was you.”
