Chapter 15: Natalie’s True Colors
"The camera on the poolside view is not working," The assistant returned and informed his boss Steve Davis which everyone heard,
It proved what Natalie had said about the camera’s.
Meanwhile, Justin turned to Rowan with a sharp remark, "Is this how you maintain your hotel and claim it’s the best in the city, when you can’t even keep a simple security camera working?"
Rowan, already frustrated by the staff’s failure, felt his anger flare at Justin’s words. However, he kept his composure. "I’ll look into it," he responded tersely.
"You better, unless you want someone to tamper with your security system so easily," Justin warned. His words made clear that someone had sabotaged the camera.
"She must have planned this. How else could she be so sure the cameras aren’t working?" Briena commented, "She clearly had the plan to hurt me or why would she even show up at this party after her scandal? I am sure she was not invited and sneaked inside just to take her revenge on me and then leave without leaving any trace behind."
"Were you not Invited?" Ivan asked Natalie.
"No. I was not," Natalie replied, her calm demeanor unshaken.
Anyone in her position would do everything to deny Briena’s claim and try to prove their innocence despite being guilty, but Natalie didn’t bother answering more than what she was asked. She was not invited by the host but she came here as a companion of the one who was invited, her friend Mia, who was currently busy with her business dealing.
Briena, still playing the victim, turned to Ivan, "Do you trust me now?"
Ivan nodded, his gaze icy as he looked at Natalie. "You’re not going anywhere unless you apologize."
