Chapter 1331 Complete Reveal
“No, it wasn’t me! I touched the camera a while ago, so that was why my fingerprints were on it. It’s not weird for my prints to be there; they should be there! Even Ms. Minamoto’s prints are there!”
Akiko was still trying to deny her involvement even at that moment.
He’s turned a blind eye to all the bad deeds I’ve done before, so maybe this time he will do the same.
With that thought in mind, she assumed things would be the same this time around. And so, she persistently denied her involvement.
“Mr. Akiyama, you have to trust me!”
She turned to gaze at him pitifully.
As expected, he merely stared at her indifferently. The anticipation and passion within Ichika’s eyes dimmed as she watched their interaction from the side.
Could it be that Mr. Akiyama believes her?
“Mr. Akiyama—”
“I have another method to prove it even if you don’t admit it. Luke, get the tapes for the security footage in this office.”
Solomon finally spoke in a monotonous tone. He merely stood there and ordered with a deadpan expression.
The light returned to Ichika’s eyes in record time at his words while something in Akiko’s mind snapped.
Even her body was slightly swaying from his cruel words.
Does he not trust me anymore?
No, that can’t be. He must have said that to convince the crowd.
Fine then, I’ll prove to him that I’m not the perpetrator.
She stood there waiting while wringing her fingers.
Soon, Luke brought the head of security and the security footage over. Everyone turned their attention to the LED screen hanging on the wall.
After fast-forwarding the footage, there were no signs of Akiko going near Luke’s desk.
The footage showed no signs of tampering either.
Maybe it really wasn’t her?
Everyone turned to Akiko curiously. Seeing the doubt in their eyes, the anger within Ichika brought her close to tears. “No. There’s no way. My fingerprint analysis can’t be wrong. I’ve learned forensic science before!”
“Ms. Minamoto, so what if you’ve learned forensics previously? You’re not an actual forensic science technician, so how can we be sure your assessment is accurate?”
“You—”
“All right. Stop fighting. Luke, get the security footage from my office as well.”
Solomon cut their argument off harshly then ordered Luke to get another copy of security footage.
There’s a security camera in the president’s office?
Everyone’s eyes were wide with disbelief as they gazed at Solomon.
Everyone in that office knew there hadn’t been any security cameras set up in that office when Mr. Hayes was still around. He had a distinct hatred for the invasion of his privacy.
Also, he was the boss, so there was no reason for him to set one up.
However, Luke still followed through with Solomon’s order.
Not long after, he came out again with a security tape to everyone’s shock.
The people present were stunned.
As for Akiko, her arrogant confidence a while ago had vanished, and her face paled at the tape in Luke’s hand.
The footage was played on the LED screen.
Thus, on that fateful afternoon, everyone witnessed the actual scene of Ichika searching for Solomon, including how she initially came because she wanted to ask Solomon to teach her. Then, they saw how Akiko scolded, threatened, and intimidated her before Ichika finally fought back in the end.
Akiko was like an Oscar-winning actress. She quickly knelt in front of Ichika before Solomon got mad. However, her actions still drew his wrath in the end.
“F**k! She’s such a b**ch.”
“Just what I wanted to say!”
Everyone couldn’t take it anymore and started cussing and scolding Akiko right to her face.
Akiko’s face paled even further.
However, they didn’t stop their cussing because they witnessed how the netizens had mocked Ichika on the Internet with their own two eyes. The female employee who accompanied Ichika up finally understood the entire situation.
She didn’t hold back her anger. “Mr. George, your secretary is terrible! She’s like one of the b**ches from those cheesy dramas. She acts one way in front of you and another way behind your back. Did she take Ichika for a doormat she could walk all over?”
“Exactly! I was saying Ichika would never do such a thing.”
“F**k! I have never seen such a vicious woman in my entire life.”
Everyone was busy cussing Akiko out.
Yet Solomon merely continued to watch the footage silently.
Consequently, everyone was stunned yet again at the end when they saw Akiko place something tiny on top of the stack of documents she took from Solomon’s desk.
Thus, when Luke received the documents, he stuffed them into his drawer without a second thought.
That was how the tiny black thing became stuck to the top of the drawer.
What the h*ll!
Everyone’s anger reached its limit that day.
