After breakfast, nobody left the dining room. Everyone was waiting on the surveillance check.
Half an hour later, the butler, Ryan, walked in.
"Sir, I had the security team review the footage. They've gone through it all, and there's no sign of Mr. Oliver entering the premises," Ryan reported.
His words hit Lena like a punch to the gut.
Lena blurted out, "All checked? In such a short time?"
Ryan explained, "I had four security personnel each review a segment, which sped up the process."
Lena’s embarrassment was obvious, and the displeasure in the room was palpable.
Garrett was the first to challenge her. "We’ve checked the footage and found nothing. Lena, were you dreaming? Or is your vision failing? How could you accuse your sister like that?"
Dorian joined in, "Lena, if you’re not busy today, maybe you should get your eyes checked."
Hattie added her two cents, "Lena, Josie has already denied this, and you insisted you were right. Now that there's no evidence, what do you have to say for yourself?"
With the tide of questions against her, Lena found herself without a comeback, biting her lip in silent frustration.
Garrett, with a stern voice, commanded, "Lena, apologize to Josie."
Lena, lips quivering and seeing no allies in her corner, muttered her apology. "Sister, I'm sorry. It seems my eyes deceived me. I was wrong."
Josefina responded, "Little sister Lena, you can’t just go around making blind accusations. You need proof before you can point fingers. Thankfully, we’re family, and I can be forgiving. This would be a different story if you did this outside among strangers."
Lena was at a loss for words.
Hattie advised, "Lena, you can't make such mistakes again. Thankfully, Josie is magnanimous enough to forgive you this once."
