Chapter 211:

Rosie’s anger surged as she looked at Darrell, her voice sharp with accusation. “Really? Just now, you said you never left, but now you’re admitting to stepping away to use the restroom. Darrell, what are you playing at? Are you involved in something that will hurt this family? We pay you well, and this is how you do your job p>

Her words, filled with mounting frustration, made her hands tremble. She couldn’t control her irritation. “If you’re incapable of doing your job properly, then leave. We offer high salaries, and I’m sure there are plenty of people eager to take your place,” she said.

Julia paused at the entrance of the surveillance room, peeking inside with a curious gaze. She wanted to see if Ernst would find any signs of tampering with the surveillance footage.

Ernst, however, found no evidence of any tampering.

With a subtle smile, Julia quietly left the area.

She thought of Brenna’s earlier words. This issue must be kept confidential, never exposed. She was to behave as if everything were normal, as any deviation might lead to suspicion.

Moving away from the surveillance room, she bumped into Rachael, who approached her with an intense expression and immediately asked, “Where have you been p>

Julia let out a dismissive snort, brushing off Rachael’s demand. “That’s none of your concern,” she said coldly.
