Chapter 482

Sandy stood there, unsure of how to stop her dad from checking the security footage. Panic and fear had her frozen in place.

"Yes, Mr. Jenkins." Charles was no stranger to the store. The manager recognized him immediately and knew his status. When he asked to see the surveillance footage, she quickly called over an employee to handle it.

The employee rushed over, and when asked which area to check, she looked visibly flustered. She glanced at the manager, then at Charles, and under the weight of his intense gaze, she braced herself and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jenkins, the camera in that section hasn't been working for two days."

Charles frowned at this news. Brooks hadn't expected this twist. Without the footage, there wasn't much to discuss. He shot a brief, indifferent glance at Sandy, who was nestled in Charles's arms, then took Evelyn's hand and led her out. Charles watched their hands intertwined, and the tension around him seemed to thicken.

Charles remembered Sandy's tense reaction when Brooks mentioned the footage. If she had been truthful, there would have been no reason for her to worry. Once Sandy felt a bit more at ease, her quick mind started working again. Instead of making excuses, she apologized directly, "Dad, I'm sorry, I lied earlier."
