Chapter 277  Chapter 277  “Asher, you can get someone to check the café’s surveillance footage!”  After saying this, Lucian glanced at Evelina, “The café’s footage will prove I’m telling the truth, including her begging on her knees.”  Evelina was so nervous she couldn’t even lift her head, her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.  Asher frowned, “Lucian, I’ll trust you one more time. But if the footage doesn’t back up your story, don’t blame me for doubting you”  “Fine.”  Lucian’s voice was icy, “Evelina, aren’t you going to tell the truth now?”  “Lucian, I am telling the truth.”  Evelina couldn’t meet Lucian’s gaze, but she couldn’t admit to what she hadn’t done either.  hey actually got the surveillance video, she would need a good excuse. Having already lost Lucian’s trust, she couldn’t afford to lose Asher’s as well.  Maybe she should contact that man, Evelina thought, picking up the fruit tray, “Asher, I’ll go wash some more fruit.”  “Hold it! You’re not leaving until we get the café’s surveillance. Just so you don’t contact someone from the Sinclair family to interfere!” Lucian knew Evelina didn’t have the means, but the Sinclair family did! Evelina had no choice but to stand still, her anxiety peaking with each passing second.  Soon, Asher received a call from his secretary, “Did you get the surveillance footage?”  “What, the café caught fire last night, and all the surveillance was destroyed?”  Asher only found the whole situation odd.  Hearing this news, Evelina breathed a sigh of relief. The fire was a stroke of luck; she had dodged a bullet! Whether it was that man’s doing or the Sinclair family’s intervention didn’t matter. She was safe.  Evelina noticed Lucian’s glance and shrank back, “Lucian, you don’t think I did it, do you? You were sick in the hospital last night, and I was there the whole time. Besides, I don’t have the guts to set a fire!”  “You might not, but the Sinclair family could! You must have contacted someone from the Sinclair family. How else would they know about the surveillance footage so quickly?”  Lucian pulled out his phone, “Even though the café’s surveillance is gone, we have a witness!”  He played a video on his phone, showing a café waitress. Evelina’s heart raced to her throat. Impossible!  “Yesterday, I did see four people arguing there. One girl took out a laptop, seemed like she opened some surveillance video, and another girl started begging on her knees, like she had done something wrong and got caught.”  Evelina’s legs nearly gave way, her whole body trembling.  Lucian looked at her, “What do you have to say now?”  Evelina turned to Asher, “Asher, what was on Lemira’s laptop was indeed bar surveillance, but the Sinclair family had already deleted the part about Susanna. Lemira was interrogating me about it, wanting me to testify. I was scared, Asher. The Sinclair family wouldn’t let me off easily. Lucian pressured me too, and I had no choice but to beg them not to treat me this way.”  Lucian’s voice was cold, “Evelina, you’re lying!”  “I’m not lying! Lemira said so many infuriating things to pressure us, that’s why you fainted, don’t you remember?”  Evelina’s voice broke as she wiped away her tears, “If Lucian thinks I’m the culprit, then I’ll just turn myself in at the police station.”  With that, Evelina ran out of the room. She had to get away, uncertain of what Lucían might do next.  Asher, visibly annoyed, said, “How could you talk to Eve like that? You can’t just make Eve take the fall to exonerate Lemira. It’s clear the Sinclair family is behind this!”  “Asher, there’s more to Evelina than meets the eye. I only realized it after seeing the surveillance footage.”  “Enough, you just focus on getting better. Eve will stay by my side from now on. You don’t need to worry about her.”  With that, Asher also hurried out of the room.
