Julie turned on her computer, her fingers flying across the screen like phantoms, quickly accessing the hotel's surveillance network. She pulled up the footage from the previous half hour and saw with satisfaction Basha being harassed by four or five men. A smile crept onto her lips.
Madam Wu also saw it, her expression calm, and asked indifferently, "Aren't you going to deal with Gongsun Lin? That pathetic wretch Basha isn't worth your time."
Julie's smile was chilling. "This poor wretch insisted on jumping in herself, so I'll grant her wish!"
She reviewed the surveillance footage and saw Gongsun Lin and Basha come out of the bathroom, then head to the back garden for some fresh air, where they ran into Rommel and his group, who had also been infected.
"Damn it, what is Kagel doing... he's letting Gongsun Lin get away with this!"
Julie gritted her teeth in anger. Her original target was Gongsun Lin and Basha, but Kagel, that troublemaker, actually dragged Gongsun Lin to another place, leaving Basha alone to face Rommel and the others.
Furthermore, she checked the surveillance footage from other cameras but didn't see Gongsun Lin and Kagel, suggesting they had gone into a blind spot.
Julie gritted her teeth. Her target tonight was Gongsun Lin. Besides the old grudges, the trigger was that mysterious dress. She and Gongsun Yao had a good relationship. Gongsun Yao told her that the dress belonged to Gongsun Lin and that Gongsun Lin was determined to win the princess crown at the ball and compete with her. How could she swallow this insult?
With old and new grudges combined, Julie devised a plan for tonight to get rid of the annoying Gongsun Lin. However, she only managed to trick Basha, so the operation was barely considered a failure. Getting rid of one annoying person is better than nothing, since she would deal with Basha sooner or later anyway.
Julie watched and downloaded the video feed simultaneously. She played it back, showing Ye Qingqing and Roger rescuing Basha, but soon the surveillance footage went blank, all the footage from the previous hour being deleted.
"Shit!"
Julie cursed angrily and quickly checked the download. It wasn't finished, but the crucial few minutes had been downloaded. She breathed a sigh of relief; with this, the poor bastard would have nowhere to die.
There was a knock at the door. Julie quickly put her computer in a box and pretended to be weak. Mrs. Wu went to open the door, and Mrs. Dylan came with a doctor.
"Your Highness, let the doctor take a look at you!"
"Thank you, Madam. I feel much better now, but I'm still a little dizzy and can't move. I can only sit." Julie said weakly, supporting her head with her hand, looking frail and helpless.
However, the dense red spots on her face and neck greatly affected her beauty, making her less pitiful than before.
As the doctor examined her, Julie asked intentionally, "Madam, have you found Miss Ye? I want to hear her explanation for why she harmed me."
She wouldn't let this go so easily and planned to resolve it through the consulate. After all, she was a princess, while Ye Qingqing was just a commoner. She thought the Chinese consulate would give her a satisfactory explanation!
Lady Dylan smiled slightly. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Her Highness an explanation. Your Highness, please rest well!"
Even if Julie didn't say anything, she had to find out the truth. Otherwise, with such a big blunder at the ball, she wouldn't be able to explain herself, and she could forget about ever working in high society again!
Mrs. Dylan left in a hurry; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Miao Tianxiang found Mrs. Dylan and whispered in her ear, "The person who set this up is Princess Julie. She's the one who drugged her. This girl is also a computer expert, just in case she modifies the surveillance footage."
