Rufus' POV:
Cherry's high-pitched squeals gave me a headache. She continued to argue even though we had proof against her. Her face was as filthy as her beating heart.
"Your surveillance video is falsified. It's fake. Don't try to ruin my reputation." Cherry grabbed Maya's phone and threw it onto the floor. The screen went black as the phone shattered to pieces.
I was losing my patience. Unable to take it anymore, I lunged forward and pressed Cherry's head against the wall. "Have you finished speaking?"
Cherry's face was distorted in horror, and her body was trembling. "Y-yes."
Her sobbing voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as a rusty door that opened with a screech. I let go of her head, took out a handkerchief, and wiped my hands in disgust. "This surveillance video was taken by the vehicle recorder in a car that was parked in the school. If you don't think this one surveillance video is enough, there are still other videos for you to see. Every car parked there that day has recorded what you had done." Cherry's eyes widened in shock before she burst into tears. "Prince Rufus, I was wrong. I took the clothes, but it wasn't for me. Someone asked me to. I wasn't the one who danced with you at the party. I would never dare to steal your things."
Her answer was a little beyond my expectation. I looked at her in disbelief. "Who instigated you?" Cherry sniffed loudly and wiped her snot. "I... I didn't see her face clearly. She was wearing sunglasses and a mask and deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke."
"How could you help someone when you didn't even know who it was?" I sneered
"She gave me money. Lots of money. She... I... Wait! I have a recording." Cherry hurriedly picked her phone from the floor and played an audio file.
The voices in the recording were muffled, and I could barely hear the she-wolf's voice. There was no substantial evidence about the woman talking about stealing clothes.
