Aurora lowered her eyes. She knew she absolutely couldn’t back down now, or Michael would suspect her.

She thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
The factory manager insisted there was no surveillance, so how could Alice possibly prove she hadn’t pressed the button? It was obvious
she was bluffing.
Aurora’s lips curled up.
Whether Alice pressed the button or not, only the two of them knew the truth. With no surveillance to confirm anything, who could vouch for Alice’s innocence? It was clear she was just trying to intimidate her.
Now that Aurora finally had a chance to get rid of Alice, she wouldn’t miss it.
Moreover, it wasn’t only colleagues who had been affected, business partners were caught in the fallout too. She was curious to see whether Alice still had the ability to salvage the situation.
She raised her head and looked directly at Alice. “Fine, you can investigate. I swearon my faith, every word I’ve spoken is true. I saw you press the button, and you must takeresponsible for this p>
She then looked at Michael with difficulty. “But Mr. Johnson, shouldn’t the investigation have a clear deadline? Mr. Cooper deserves an explanation p>
Michael looked at the nurse at the door. “Has he woken up p>
“Yes, he has, with a mild concussion p>
Aurora felt a surge of confidence at the nurse’s reply. “Alice, you’d better explain everything to Mr. Cooper now there isn’t much time left for your investigation p>
Thinking Alice would certainly have no evidence and was just buying time until Michael wasn’t angry, Aurora looked at Alice triumphantly, she wouldn’t give Alice a chance.
Alice chuckled. ‘It only takes ten minutes p>
Michael snorted coldly, “I hope you have evidence p>
“Aurora, I’ll take you to check your wrist. “He led Aurora out of the ward, but she couldn’t hide her frown as her eyes lingered on Alice. What was she planning? Could she actually have proof?
Alice walked to the factory manager’s bedside. “I need your help.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, he rose immediately. “Ms. Baker, what do you need? I’ll get it for you right away p>
If he had to choose who to believe, he would definitely choose Alice, but he couldn’t say it in front of Michael.
Alice whispered a few words, and he immediately picked up his phone. “Is it that blogger from today? He should still be in the hospital He was taking photos and helping to save people, so he should still be here. I’ll make a call p>
Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Whatever his intentions with the filming, she knew the camera had barely left her side, and it must hold the proof that could clear her
name.
The factory manager had just finished the call, and a few minutes later, Stefan came in with a camera bag. Ms. Baker, I met a guy at the door who said to give this to you. It should help you p>
“Where is he?” Alice looked curiously behind him, and at this moment, Michael and Aurora also returned.
Stefan shook his head. “He seemed to be in a rush and said it was inconvenient for him to come over. He left the camera behind you should be able to find what you need there p>
Alice was a bit curious, this man acted quickly. Could he know what she was going to do?
Meeting Michael’s still-angered gaze, she didn’t hesitate and immediately began flipping through the album. Aurora’s fists clenched as her eyes locked on the camera. “Whose camera is this?” she demanded.
She felt a sense of unease, her eyelid twitching.
A colleague in the factory answered, “It belongs to the blogger who came to take promotional photos at our factory. “He might have captured some evidence.” Aurora stepped forward, her nails digging into her palms, though she barely registered the sting.
At this moment, Alice had already found the photo of Aurora pulling her, followed by a video.
This camera was really good, capturing such clear images from a distance, and even recording a video.
She swiftly paired her phone with the camera via Bluetooth, backed up the footage, and then flipped the device around.
“Aurora, since you said you saw me press the button with your own eyes, how do you explain this video p>
Aurora didn’t even look at it and rushed forward to grab the camera, but Alice stepped back.
“Taking the camera won’t help, I’ve already backed up the video. Since you’re in a hurry, let’s watch it together
Alice pressed the play button, and in the video, she was holding her bag with both hands, just standing and talking to Aurora, her hands never left the bag.

She had never come closer than a meter to the button. As everyone crowded around, the high-definition camera captured Alice speaking, a faint, knowing smile playing on her lips.
The video recorded everything clearly, with a timestamp.
Alice had never touched the red button, not even approached it. So why had Aurora insisted she saw Alice press it, and sworn it on her
faith?
Alice held the camera up to Aurora’s face. “You lied p>
“I didn’t… no, it’s not true!” Aurora shook her head violently, stumbling backward in pure panic.
“You did, Aurora. You even swore it,” Alice pressed, unwavering.
Aurora clenched her fists, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
Her plan should have been flawless, but why did someone happen to take this video?
Alice took a deep breath. “If it weren’t for this video, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself, right p>
“I would have to bear high compensation, be fired by Mr. Johnson, and apologize to Mr. Cooperunder this pressure. I might never be able to set foot in this industry again, right p>
Aurora, good plan. You’re impressive p>
Shock froze Aurora in place, how could Alice have known it all? The faint, serene smile on Alice’s face made Aurora realize just how much she had misjudged her.
Although they were about the same age, Alice had been following Michael in the business world since she was still in school.
In the heat of negotiations and competition, Aurora seemed insignificant. Her avoidance of clashes with Aurora had never been due to inability, it was pure choice, a quiet disdain for engaging in unnecessary battles.
Alice’s voice was gentle but carried a hint of coldness. Actually, the police will definitely investigate, and trace analysis and fingerprint comparison will also clear my name p>
Aurora stared at her with wide eyes, her body trembling.
“Your petty tricks were doomed from the start.” Alice’s eyes then shifted to Michael “What’s your take on this, Mt. Johnson?” For the first time, fear crept into Aurora’s voice. “Mr. Johnson p>
She had just turned around when Alice grabbed her collar and slapped her hard.
