The lady owner became a little defensive. “That waiter should be in the staff dorm right now. He asked for a half-

day leave ’cause he wasn’t feeling too well. Why are you looking for him. anyway?”

“I have some questions I want to ask him about what happened in Bamboo Forest today,” Corinne replied.

“But I’ve already asked him what happened in Bamboo Forest. He said he had nothing to do with the kid getting

burned. Forgive me for saying this, but you all shouldn’t involve my staff in whatever grievances you have with each

other. He’s just a young kid who has no choice but to come out and work to support his family.”

Corinne nodded and smiled to show she empathized with the lady owner’s concern. “Don’t worry. I just want to ask

him some questions. I promise I won’t make his life any more difficult than it already is.”

On one hand, the lady owner wanted to protect her staff, and on the other, she did not want to offend her

customers so after thinking it through, she called out to one of the waiters who was cleaning up a table and said,

“Go to the staff dorm and tell Oliver to come to see me.”

Very soon after, Oliver came walking into the restaurant with his head drooping.

“Ma’am, you’ve asked to see me?”

“The customers who dined in Bamboo Forest this afternoon want to ask you some questions. but there’s no need to

worry ’cause you only need to tell them what you’ve told me,” said the

lady owner.

Oliver raised his head and looked toward where the lady owner was pointing. His face immediately tensed up when

he saw Corinne and the others standing there. However, the next moment, he pointed at Corinne and shouted,

“Ma’am, that’s her! She was the one who snatched the bowl of soup away from me. I was carrying the soup over to

her friend over there when she snatched the bowl of soup away from me and threw it all over the kid who came

with them!”

Everyone immediately turned to look at Corinne with judgment and anger in their eyes.

Corine was sure that Oliver was the waiter who brought in the bowl of soup to them. However, it was weird how his

story perfectly matched up with Anya’s. Her expression gradually became complicated, not because everyone was

looking at her with accusing eyes, but because she knew she did not hurt Joey and yet she could not explain why

Anya and Oliver, who did not seem like they knew each other, could come up with the same lie!

From this, Corinne could confirm that Anya and Oliver had some secret way of contacting each other to make sure

both of their stories synced up. She initially thought what happened to

Joey was pure accident, that Oliver ran away because he was afraid of the consequences, and that Anya thought

she might as well use this opportunity to frame Corinne, but now she knew things were not as simple as they

seemed.

The truth was even more abominable.

If her conjecture was true, it would mean Anya told Oliver beforehand what he should. say to the others and it

would also mean, Oliver did not accidentally tripped and caused the bowl of soup to fall onto Joey but he did it

intentionally and under Anya’s order!

‘It was not an accident at all. Anya planned this all along just so she could make me look bad. What kind of mother

would do this to her child? She’s a monster!’ thought Corinne. She was shocked at the discovery and also shocked

at what a person would be willing to do to achieve.

“Corinne, the witness already came out with the truth so what do you have to say for yourself?

asked Lucas angrily. His patience was at its limits and he wished for nothing more than to lock Corinne up in jail and

throw away the key.

“Corinne, why don’t you just come clean already? If you do, I promise I’ll ask my brother to go. easy on you,” said

Anya tearfully.
