One Night Surprise

Chapter 117 Can Money Resolve Everything?

The 1.83-meter young man walked toward them from the other end of the hallway; his young immature face adopted an inexplicably steady aura of a middle-aged man, causing the crowd to automatically give way to him.

Courtney was momentarily stunned before returning to her senses. She then stopped him and asked in a small voice, “Why are you here?”

Oliver cast a glance to comfort her before patting the back of her hand. “I’m here to watch the show of a culprit accusing the innocent of a sin that was committed by herself—I wonder why you insisted on accusing a young lady of stealing. Miss Clark, if this incident is exposed to the media, I think the entertainment industry will no longer welcome you in the future.”

Brenda’s face paled. “What nonsense are you spewing? Where do you come from? Don’t you guys have anyone else in the Sunhill Hotel?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that Miss Clark, you claimed that Penelope stole your necklace, but what is your basis for making such an adamant accusation?”

“The security footage showed that she was the only person who entered my room at 10.00PM last night.”

“Weren’t you there when Penelope entered your room?”

Upon hearing that, everyone looked at one another in shock. Ever since the filming crew checked in, it was widely known that the actors had a habit of having a meeting to discuss the script at around 10.00PM. The actors’ rooms were mostly empty at that time, so when the security cameras caught Penelope entering the room and exiting it in panic, it aroused their suspicion.

“What do you mean? I returned to my room at 11.00PM.” Brenda’s expression suddenly changed and she scolded, “You should come up with a smarter excuse if you wish to protect her.”
