As a mere shop assistant, she couldn't just take goods from the shop without permission. The surveillance footage was damning evidence of her crime!

But Barbara's excellent performance wasn't over yet.

She put on a look of concern and asked worriedly, “Haley, is it possible that Maria paid for the display card and you just didn't know about it?"

Of course, it sounded like she was defending Maria.

But unbeknownst to the others, this conversation had been rehearsed in advance. It was another trap for Maria!

As expected, Haley shook his head and then took out another piece of evidence, as if on cue.

“We always record shop transactions, and this is the detailed list of every transaction that took place that day. You can see that the date on this document matches the date of the video. Please have a look. It shows that the shop didn't sell any display cards that day, let alone the high-performance display card that Maria stole."

Haley waved the bill in his hand. It was obvious that he had been keeping this for a long time, because it was so worn out and wrinkled.

“Bring it to me,"

Mrs. Jenkins's authoritative voice boomed.

Reuben immediately took the bill from Haley and handed to Mrs. Jenkins, who then scrutinized it with a frown.

“Haley's right. The bill of sale includes several keyboards, earphones, a monitor, and a mouse, but there's no record of the video card being sold on that day.”

Mrs. Jenkins paused for a moment and deliberately said, “Canaan, I want you to check the document on behalf of the board."

Despite Canaan's obvious unwillingness to do so, Reuben stuffed the document into his hand directly, so he was forced to look at the evidence against Maria.

After scanning through it quickly, his expression turned grim.

It turned out that Mrs. Jenkins was telling the truth. Now, he felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

Unexpectedly, just as Maria had won the championship and he was discussing with the other elders of the Jenkins family about how to train her, Mrs. Jenkins brought up a case that would ruin Maria's future!

“Whether this bill is authentic or not... We still need to verify if it's..." Canaan started to say with difficulty.

But even he knew that Mrs. Jenkins must have prepared everything well before setting up this trap.

With the wretched young man named Haley along with the surveillance footage and bill of sales he had provided, it seemed there was nothing he could do to refute the evidence.

Then what could he do?

Was there any way he could protect Maria?

“There's no need to verify the receipt. I also remember that there was a thunderstorm that day. The traffic in the store was really bad, and no display card were sold on that day."

At this time, Maria suddenly spoke up, her voice still calm and confident.
