Edmond gave the two bodyguards a look and they finally let go.
I quickly got up from the ground and spit out the dirt in my mouth.
“Edmond! Even if you are the prince of Linkon, you have to be reasonable!”
Muriel cried, “Sister, stop acting. Everyone knows that you stole 13 million dollars from Mr. Estrada! You should hand it over quickly!”
My father was furious, shaking with anger and pointed at me.
“You unfilial daughter, do you know that Mr. Estrada is the God of Wealth in our family? If you offend him, will our Benson Family still have a way to survive in Linkon in the future?”
The financial officer, Bryant, sobbed, “Miss Benson! Please hand over the money! As long as you hand over the money, Mr. Benson will not blame you!”
Edmond’s eyes were fierce. “Why do you steal, Miss? Hurry up and hand over my 13 million dollars. I will let you go for Mr. Benson’s sake. Otherwise…”
“What money? What are you talking about? Didn’t my dad say that I was sick? I have been praying in this church recently. I am taking good care of myself. Look at me. Do I look like I can go out and steal money?”
I pointed at the big bump on my forehead. The priest also hurried to speak for me, “Did you misunderstand, sir? Miss Maggie has been praying in this church since a month ago. She has never been out. How could she steal money?”
Muriel pouted. “Father, don’t lie. Priests who lie will go to hell!”
The priest was very anxious. “Oh, Miss, don’t talk nonsense. I am a priest. Priests don’t lie!”
My father snorted coldly, “No one knows a daughter better than her father. I knew you would play tricks! Muriel, show her the evidence!”
I also snorted in my heart. What evidence? It was the same things as in the previous life. What signed the procedures, the private seals and stamps and the office surveillance? Did you think I prayed every day for nothing?
I pointed at myself and said, “Dad said I failed to sign the contract with Mr. Estrada last time, so he asked me to kneel. I thought kneeling in the church was better. Here I reflect on my mistakes and pray for Mr. Estrada. But I didn’t expect that I was too selfless and prayed every day!”
I continued, “During the month in the church, I prayed every day. I couldn’t go out like this and I couldn’t go to the company to transfer money! Signature is easy to imitate, as for the seal, it’s lost. It’s been lost for a long time!”
After saying that, I couldn’t help but feel proud. Even if all the witnesses were bribed by my dad, I couldn’t have a big bump on my forehead in the surveillance video!
Speaking of the surveillance in my previous life, I felt incredible.
Edmond said that he checked the surveillance and it was definitely not rigged.
Although he was the same as my father, he must have checked it if he said he had checked it.
Edmond had access to the most advanced technology. It was easy to check whether the surveillance video was synthesized. There was no possibility of error.
So I was really curious about how they could do all this.
But no matter what, I would win this time!
“Oh! Sister, it is your honor to pray for Mr. Estrada, but you can’t just rely on your bump alone. As soon as I see it on the surveillance, I will immediately ask someone to go to the pharmacy to lessen your bump. Don’t worry, this medicine is good for you.”
