Chapter 889
Chapter 892:
At the same time, Erica turned around and walked into the banquet hall.
Then, a black figure clad in a mask and hat darted across the scene, his identity obscured. This figure forcefully shoved Candice before disappearing quickly. Consequently, Candice was sent tumbling down the steps.
The sudden incident sent a shockwave through those assembled in the conference room. Some gasped in horror, while others let out soft exclamations. Despite the shock, the experienced shareholders soon regained their composure.
In the video, it could be seen clearly that at this time, Erica had stumbled into the banquet hall. She had no idea what was going on behind her back.
The video served as undeniable proof of her innocence. She was not the one who had sent Candice sprawling down the stairs.
Milton suddenly rose from his chair, taken aback. Despite watching the surveillance video countless times, he had never come across this particular scene. It was evident that this video…
The clip had been purposely removed. The full event of Candice’s fall was laid bare for Milton to see. He was left gasping for breath. “Damn it! Who did it?!” How could he dare to inflict such harm upon Candice?
Erica let out a sigh of relief upon the discovery. She was finally absolved of the suspicion. Yet seeing Candice in pain brought a wave of worry. She regarded Candice with concern.
Bettina also shared the sentiment. Even though she knew what Candice had been through, seeing it unfold caused her anger to flare. “Who was responsible for this?” Milton’s voice echoed with fury.
He marched over to Candice and seized her wrist. “Who is this masked figure?”
Candice’s gaze swept over those in the room, her shoulders shrugging lightly. Finally, she pointedly looked at Bart. “I believe Mr. Glyn would have your answer.”
Bart’s grip on his pen became so intense it snapped, nearly piercing his palm. He hadn’t anticipated Candice’s hidden motive behind calling the board of directors during the celebration party. It wasn’t about acquiring the Karen Steel Company. Her true intent was to reveal the truth in front of everyone. Bart had been overconfident and had let his guard down.

His well-crafted plans and tactics had fooled even the police.
How could Candice have discovered the truth?
“Anyway, it’s my privacy. I just happened to play the wrong video. But since everyone has seen it, I will just play another video.” Without missing a beat, Candice played another video, shifting the view to the Gold Well Hotel’s parking lot, after Candice fell downstairs.
Under the shadow of the tree, a conversation was barely discernible between a man and another figure cloaked in black.
The figure shrouded in black, complete with a mask and hat, bore a striking resemblance to the person who had previously shoved Candice down the staircase. A brief exchange ensued before a stack of cash was handed to the man in black, who then disappeared into the darkness. The one who remained turned, revealing himself to be none other than Bart.
The video abruptly ended there.
