So, in order to avoid suspicion, I made sure to visit Queen Laura’s place and chat with her during my free time. If not, I would simply stay at my residence and pretend to go on about my life.
Then I heard from my men that Sylvia was in the hospital. This shocked me. I just used an ordinary aphrodisiac. How could that send her to the hospital?
Later, Rufus took his men to the office of teaching affairs. This man named Kyle was confronted and taken to prison. He was accused of poisoning a student.
But as far as I knew, I was the one who technically got Sylvia in trouble. Why would someone else take the blame? I did not know who this Kyle was at all. He just appeared out of nowhere.
Did Rufus imprison the wrong werewolf? I guessed it wasn’t such a bad thing. Someone had now taken the blame for drugging Sylvia instead of me. I had no more reason to fear getting exposed.
What I was most concerned with now was whether Sylvia and Warren did have sex.
Many questions ran through my mind, but as of now, I didn’t dare to ask Warren anything. He must be very sensitive now and might even suspect me.
After all the fuss finally quieted down a bit, I just asked Coco to get the camera secretly instead.
The entire morning had already passed, but Coco still hadn’t come back yet.
This made me a little anxious. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have just sent someone else. Coco could be so clumsy at times. If she got caught, it would be bad for me.
Just when I was about to send someone to look for her, Coco finally came back.
“I got it, Miss Quinn.”
I walked up to her, pleased. “Good. Let me have a look. Did anyone see you?”
“No, but a group of werewolves did go to the equipment room this morning. They didn’t take anything, though. I’m not sure why. I waited until they were all gone before I got the camera.”
While reporting, Coco took out the memory card of the camera and inserted it into the computer. When she clicked on the video file, a window popped up, showing the scene in the equipment room.
“Was the camera placed too low?” I frowned, looking at the computer screen. There was a shelf of equipment that blocked most of the camera’s view. All I could see vaguely was Sylvia’s figure and side profile. She was lying on the floor, but her face wasn’t clear enough to be seen.
Frustrated, I slapped Coco across the face. “How in the hell did you even install the camera?”
Coco brought her hand up to her face as tears began to fall from her eyes. “I… I’m sorry, Miss Quinn. There was no other place to hide it in the equipment room. That was the only spot that wasn’t going to be obvious. Otherwise, it would be easily spotted.”
“Well, you could have created a more suitable spot yourself! They’re drugged! They couldn’t even see a camera setting in front of them! Now I can’t see anything clearly! And how did Warren wake up so soon? I told you to drug him heavily, didn’t I?” I angrily grabbed the mouse and fast forwarded the video.
Soon enough, I heard the gasps of Sylvia and Warren from the video. Still, Warren didn’t do anything. It was as if he would rather hurt himself than touch Sylvia.
The amount of self-control he showed was shocking. How was he able to restrain himself under such conditions? But not long after, Warren finally lost control under the drug’s influence and pounced on Sylvia.
I stared at the screen and my heart sank at what I saw. The two were struggling for a while, but nothing happened. Sylvia was able to tie Warren up and jumped out of the window.
I rewound back several times. “Did she actually escape?”
It was not the result I was expecting. But for some reason, knowing that Warren did not have sex with Sylvia made me feel an inexplicable relief.
Alina’s POV
Since the camera wasn’t placed in a good position, I couldn’t take much good pictures from it either.
When Sylvia jumped out through the window, she knocked over something which also happened to knock down the camera. After that point, the camera couldn’t capture anything visually at all, leaving only the sound to be heard.
Warren sounded like he was very uncomfortable, as if he was seriously injured or something. His heavy gasps could be heard from the video.
For some unknown reason, I felt irritated after hearing it for a while, so I just turned off the video. It was useless to listen to it anyway since Sylvia wasn’t even in the room anymore.
“Miss Quinn… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Coco got down on her knees and begged for my forgiveness.
Without looking at her, I just sneered and walked over to the wine cabinet, pouring myself a glass of red wine. The mellow and slightly astringent scent of wine calmed me down a bit.
I honestly thought I would lose my temper when I saw Sylvia escape. But surprisingly, I realized I didn’t actually want Warren to have sex with Sylvia. In fact, I even felt a little relieved that Sylvia was able to escape.
At this point, my head was in such a mess that I could no longer think straight. A sneer slowly appeared on my lips.
“Miss… Miss Quinn… Please give me one more chance!”
Coco’s crying and whining jolted me back to reality. I lowered my eyes and glanced at her. She was clearly on the verge of having a full breakdown, her face now dirty and snotty with tears.
Disgusted, I put down my glass. “I didn’t even say anything yet. What are you so afraid of?”
Coco sobbed. “It was all my fault, Miss Quinn… Please don’t be angry with me.”
I rolled my eyes to the back of my head. Explaining myself to an idiot like her was useless. But if I didn’t say anything, she would never stop crying.
I pulled out two sheets of tissue and tossed them to her. “Wipe your face.”
Frantically, Coco caught the tissues and wiped her nose and eyes. “You’re not angry with me, Miss Quinn?”
“No, I’m not angry with you.” I coldly replied, raising my chin. “Being angry will just give me wrinkles. It’s not worth it to be angry over such a thing.”
Coco’s face lit up. “Oh, you are the best, Miss Quinn. I knew you wouldn’t get angry with me so easily!”
I plopped onto the couch and rubbed my temples. I didn’t really feel like talking to her anymore. Honestly, if she hadn’t followed me around since we were kids, I would have long thrown her out to feed the wild dogs.
“Is this video completely useless, Miss?” Coco carefully came up behind me and massaged my shoulders.
“No, I think it could still be of some use.” I closed my eyes and sighed. “Hand me the laptop again.”
“Okay, Miss Quinn.” Coco quickly went to fetch the laptop.
When the video still had a view of Warren pressing himself onto Sylvia, with their clothes in disarray, I took a few screenshots. “Although we weren’t able to get a clear shot of their faces, this could still be useful to us.”
Judging from the quality of the video, it was still hard to distinguish just from figures and side profiles that it was indeed Warren and Sylvia. But if I first influenced the public opinion, I could easily make this questionable news pass as truth.
Besides, the people in the video were Sylvia and Warren to begin with.
