Frank’s face turned serious as he looked inquiringly at Elizabeth.
The expression on Jack’s face became even more solemn. If this had nothing to do with Elizabeth, then Ben was falsely accusing her.
It couldn’t be dismissed lightly.
Noticing everyone’s gaze upon her, Elizabeth calmly said, “There are security cameras.”
–
“Why haven’t you checked the footage if there’s a camera?” Jack immediately challenged Frank.
It almost made him misunderstand Elizabeth as well.
“There are no cameras in the classrooms. The school highly respects student privacy. Cameras are only installed in the corridors,” replied Frank.
Facing the stern Jack, Frank sighed inwardly, deeply feeling the challenges of being a teacher.
“Elizabeth! You’re just trying to cause trouble, keep defending yourself, but the truth can’t be hidden… Ouch!” Before Ben could finish mocking, he was slapped on the back of his head by Thomas. Holding his head in pain, he looked aggrieved and bewildered.
“My apologies for his behavior. Kids can’t always control their tongues. If you need to blame someone, blame him.”
Thomas said, adding silently to himself, Don’t blame me; it has nothing to do with me.
Jack glanced suspiciously at Thomas, whose behavior seemed odd. What the hell was he doing?
Why was his attitude so different before and after seeing Elizabeth?
A thought crossed his mind: Could Thomas be interested in Elizabeth?
Instantly, he became more critical of Thomas.
Thomas was confused.
Ignoring the ranting Ben, Elizabeth calmly told Frank, “Behind the main building, there’s a Laboratory Building. On the fourth floor, there’s a lab next to the corridor which has a camera installed for safety. It just happens to cover the last five seats of group four in Senior Year 3, Class 2.”
She turned her head and looked straight at Ben, explaining methodically, “You sit in the seventh seat of group four, within the camera’s coverage.”
Ben’s mouth fell open, looking dazed. After a while, he grumbled, “What are you talking about? You’ve only been here for a few days and you know so much? Stop making things up and wasting everyone’s time!”
Smack!
Thomas, without hesitation, slapped Ben on the back of the head again, thinking to himself, You just talk too much.
The whole school’s security system was set up by Professor Lawrence. Of course, she would be familiar with it.
“The lab indeed has a camera,” Frank recalled, adding, “But it’s quite far away.
Can we really see clearly?”
Jack’s expression darkened upon hearing this.
Elizabeth replied unhurriedly, “Yes, we can.”
The cameras at Sunny Heights were state-of-the-art, and developed by our research labs.
“Ask the security office to check the footage. Focus on about fifteen minutes before and after the second half of the third lesson in the afternoon.’
With her clear thought process and calm demeanor, it almost seemed like Elizabeth was not the one being falsely accused.
Seeing Elizabeth’s confidence, Frank nodded. It wouldn’t hurt to check. If they could uncover any evidence, it would be beneficial.
Framing a classmate was no small matter.
If it wasn’t resolved today, Elizabeth might face ostracism in her class in the future.
Frank called the security office, requesting the relevant footage.
Thanks to the specific time provided by Elizabeth, the security office quickly sent the video.
“We’ve got it,” said Frank Berwick as he clicked open the video.
Apart from Elizabeth, who stood still, both Jack and Thomas stepped forward to watch.
After some jostling, Ben managed to get a look, but he was speechless.
Jack’s face looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
Frank had a complicated expression, never expecting one of his students to go to such lengths to frame a classmate..
