Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 198 The Truth is Out

Soon enough, the manager on duty rushed into the surveillance room.

"Hello, Mr. Knight!"

Oliver didn't reply verbally but signalled with his eyes for him to take action.

The manager directed him. "Quick, pull up the surveillance from the terrace corridor."

The captain of the security team paused for a moment. Hearing the manager address Oliver so politely, he understood that this guy wasn't just anybody. After a quick thought, he promptly instructed his team to retrieve and display the surveillance footage.

In just a short while, the surveillance footage that couldn't be accessed before suddenly became available.

On the display screen, the scene from the terrace slowly emerged. It was clear as day. Declan had initially grabbed Grace's hand, and even after she pulled away, he persistently pursued her and tried to hug her.

"Oh! The truth is out!"

"That's him, being all creepy and handsy. And when he got caught, he had the nerve to blame Ms. Parker."

"Such audacity!"

Vivian and her group, standing outside, also saw the footage on the monitor.

Vivian gritted her teeth, while Declan's face turned red and then white. He tried to justify himself. "I was drunk earlier, so I didn't know what I was doing. It wasn't intentional... "

Vivian's friends beside her looked troubled, unsure of how to react.

They had previously boasted about tarnishing Grace's reputation.
