As expected, Shawn frowned.
Natalia raised her eyebrows.
She raised her wrist and looked at her watch to check the time.
It was already half past ten at night.
Although it was not very late, it was definitely not early.
She curled her lips and said, "No, but it seemed like you are having great fun here, you can stay here. Enjoy yourself!"
Then she walked towards the elevator without looking back.
Jessica's face darkened.
She wanted to stop Natalia again, but Natalia seemed to have made up her mind and ignored her voice.
Jessica was pissed off.
‘Damn it! Why hasn't Marie come down yet?’
Shawn frowned beside her.
"Jessica, don’t force her if she just wants to leave. Let's go. There are still people waiting for us over there."
Jessica looked panicked.
Seeing the elevator door was about to close, she gritted her teeth and suddenly rushed forward.
"Natalia!"
Shawn's face changed dramatically.
Even Natalia, who had already entered the elevator, couldn't help frowning slightly.
After a flash, Natalia pressed the open button with one hand and supported Jessica with the other. With a livid face, she snapped, "Stay away from me if you want to die. Just don’t get me into trouble!"
Shawn rushed up and held Jessica with a long face.
"What are you doing? You even had no idea how dangerous it was just now!"
How could Jessica not know the danger?
Now she was still a little scared, but she had no choice.
Marie hadn't come down yet. She couldn't let Natalia go back.
Thinking of this, she was about to say something, but at this time, a middle-aged man ran over from the outside. He glanced at the three, and finally fixed his eyes on Natalia. He said respectfully, "Is this Miss Natalia Dawson?"
Natalia nodded.
"Excuse me, your friend, Miss Kaur, on the twelfth floor has met some trouble. She wants you to go upstairs."
…
Natalia followed the staff to the guest room department.
Jessica and Shawn naturally followed them.
As soon as they walked out of the elevator, they felt that the atmosphere on the whole floor was a little strange. At the door of one of the guest rooms, there were several security guards surrounding, and some other people were talking about something loudly inside.
Jessica's face changed slightly.
Shawn didn't know what had happened. He just followed Natalia subconsciously, because he saw the strange expression on the staff’s face when the staff talked to Natalia.
At this time, he heard the crying and arguing inside and couldn't help asking, "What happened there?"
Natalia looked back at him and then fixed her eyes on Jessica with a faint smile.
"I have no idea. Jessica, do you know what happened?"
Jessica could only force a smile.
"Even you don’t know that. How would I know?"
Noticing that she didn't look well, Shawn asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jessica's eyes twinkled.
The woman’s voice inside was so loud that everyone could hear it. Maybe others couldn’t know, but she certainly knew whose voice it was.
It was Marie.
‘Has Marie been caught?’
It was impossible. At this time, everyone was in the banquet hall downstairs. Who would have caught her?
But for the sake of her own safety, she didn't want to go any closer, so she forced a smile and touched her forehead.
"Shawn, I have a headache. I might catch a cold."
"Then..."
She sneered, "If I remember correctly, your room should be on the eighth floor. How could you go to the twelfth floor by mistake?"
Marie was speechless.
Flustered, she looked at Jessica and explained stiffly, "I ... I was drunk, okay?"
"Drunk?" Victoria sneered, "You were drunk, and you still came here to rummage around her room? You should think twice before you decide to tell a lie! Besides, you were certainly very sober when you copied the files in the laptop with the USB drive!"
Marie panicked.
She pretended not to know anything, "What files? I don't know what you are talking about!"
Victoria didn't want to waste her breath for the nonsense anymore. She asked the bodyguard to search for the USB drive on Marie’s body.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Since the USB drive was also found on her body, Marie had no reason to argue anymore.
Now that the thief didn't say anything, Victoria asked Natalia, "What do you think we should do with her?"
Marie glared at Natalia angrily.
There was even a hint of warning and threat in her eyes.
Natalia sneered, her eyes cold.
"Let the police deal with this case then!"
"What?"
Marie screamed, "Natalia Dawson, you can’t be so arrogant! Once I tell the truth, neither of us two will be able to be fine in the end!"
With a sneer, Natalia said, "I'd like to hear how much pain I will suffer from your so-called truth."
At this time, more and more people who got the news came here.
Many people gathered at the door and whispered to discuss.
"Hey, what's going on? How could Marie just come there to steal a file?"
"I don't know! Is it some kind of business secret?"
"If that's the case, stealing business secrets is quite a serious crime and she will be in jail for many years, right?"
"Yeah, but she deserves it! How dare she be a theft. She’s so shameless.”
