Faced with Rhea’s doubts, Lily was neither angry nor nervous. Instead, she raised her pen upward and pointed to the ceiling. "Oh, but there are CCTVs."
Rhea immediately fell silent but still did not believe Lily. "No one checks the surveillance footage, so you can run your mouth! Who knows if you were really at the lab?!"
"I did."
Lily initially wanted to defend herself by saying Rhea could check the footage if she did not believe her, but before Lily could open her mouth, the man at the side spoke. Lily was startled and quickly swallowed her words.
"What?!" Rhea did not expect him to defend Lily and was momentarily stunned.
"I've checked all the monitoring systems, and she’s not lying," the man said in a deep voice.
The 'she' he mentioned naturally referred to Lily.
Rhea's lips moved as if he wanted to say something. Instead, she stared at Lily fiercely and leaned back, somewhat unconvinced.
"All right, it's useless to discuss this now. Our priority is to get the boss back as soon as possible. Rick, you've been with the boss for the longest time and know the most. Do you have any suspicions about who it is; who has such ability to take the boss away?" Mike diverted the conversation back to the main topic slowly.
Rick looked at him with deep brown eyes and lightly said, "As for who it is, I have no idea yet. But I want to ask if you should know best what you were doing then."
As soon as Mike changed the topic, Rick suddenly threw the arrow of suspicion back at Mike.
