I got my period early. Stop meddling in my business. It’s so annoying.]
Xavier froze for a second, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. He texted back, 【For real? You’re not kidding me?】
Aveline: [Piss off.】
Xavier tapped his phone screen a couple of times, thought for a moment, and said to Helena, “Go ahead and make the traditional health tonics for her. She can have them as a late–night supper.”
Helena replied, “But she said she doesn’t need any. I’m just worried I’ll make them and she won’t
eat them.”
Xavier said, “Just make them. If she doesn’t eat them, that’s fine.”
In Dylan’s room, he watched the surveillance footage and said, “Oh, I left my phone in the small conference room around noon that day, so I went in to look for it.”
“I first thought I’d left it in the main conference room. I searched there for a long time and couldn’t find it, so I figured it might be in the small conference room. And that’s where it was.
“My cousin, Josephine, was waiting for me outside. She can vouch for me. Oh, right, I also ran into one of the cleaning staff. He can vouch for me too.”
Rebecca looked at Dylan. She’d expected some airtight defense, but this was all he had. So she asked:
“Dylan, when did you leave your phone in the small conference room?”
Dylan froze, suddenly realizing he hadn’t considered that question.
Right, his phone wasn’t in the main conference room, it was in the small one. So when was the last time he’d been in the small conference room before that?

Dylan broke out in a nervous cold sweat.
Seeing Simon and Rebecca staring at him, waiting for an answer, he could only say, “I don’t know when I left it in the small conference room. I just realized it was gone when I suddenly needed to use my phone.”

Rebecca asked, “So, before noon on Monday, when had you been in the small conference room?”
Dylan felt he couldn’t let Rebecca lead him around by the nose, and said irritably, “Rebecca, how am I supposed to remember that?”
“What does this have to do with the concept art? When I went into the small conference room, it was empty. Aveline wasn’t there, so how could I have stolen her concept art?”
Simon said in a heavy voice, “But my laptop was in the small conference room, and the concept art for the project was on it.”
Dylan put on a surprised expression. “Oh, really?
I… I honestly didn’t notice your laptop.”
“I just went in to look for my phone. I found it on a chair.”
Rebecca said, “Dylan, we’ve reviewed the surveillance footage from the past few days. Besides that one time at noon on Monday, you never went into the small conference room. You always went straight to the main conference room.”
“Didn’t you use that phone for days? You never noticed it was missing?”
Dylan insisted, “I have two phones. I wasn’t using that one for a few days.”
Seeing him continue to spew nonsense, Simon snapped, “Then where was your other phone?”
Dylan said, “My cousin, Josephine, had it.”
Simon and Rebecca were left speechless, feeling a sense of helpless defeat. Dylan was just shamelessly making things up.
Seeing them speechless, Dylan gloated inwardly and said, “Mr. Barron, your laptop is password- protected, right? I don’t know the password, so how could I have gotten into it?”
Simon thought about how Mr. Beltran had just mocked him, saying his password could only stop a three–year–old, and he was left even more speechless.
Dylan said, “Mr. Barron, I really didn’t steal Aveline’s idea. If it’s not a coincidence, then she stole mine.”
