Chapter 427: 427: Too Double Standard

If Zara Woods could leverage her connections with ZR President, she wouldn’t need to participate in various competitions anymore. She would even receive invitations to be a judge at major events and have access to endless resources and networks.

However, after investigating for a long time, she hadn’t found any clues. The man always appeared with a mask and never stood among the crowd. Instead, he always sat in a chair, overlooking the entire scene.

Everyone, therefore, suspected that ZR President was actually disabled, unable to stand, and wore the mask because his appearance had been ruined and he was too ashamed to show his face.

Zara thought that such a disabled person would like her gentle, water-like nature. She intended to touch his heart with true affection and let him feel the warmth of the world...

But unexpectedly, their first meeting was under these circumstances, which might negatively impact her impression on ZR President.

At the moment, Howard Scot was trembling all over with terror in his eyes. Taking a few steps back, he struggled desperately, “How could there be surveillance in the material area... Xaviera Evans, you stop talking nonsense.”

ZR President furrowed his brow, appearing impatient. The assistant immediately understood his boss’s impatience and shot a cold, warning-filled glance at Howard, “Bring up the surveillance video!”

The staff quickly pulled up the footage. The timestamp on the screen was from this afternoon. Though the angle was different from the original surveillance, the image was very clear, showing everyone’s faces clearly.

There really was another camera!

“Wasn’t there only one camera in the material room?”

“There wasn’t one before, but they added one this year!”

“Look! It’s Xaviera Evans!”

Howard’s face turned pale, and he begged Zara for help with his eyes.

Xaviera smiled gently, “Why is Mr. Scot looking at Miss Woods? It was you who destroyed the materials. What does it have to do with Miss Woods? Do you expect her to save you?”

Howard’s mind went numb, and he looked hideous as he screamed, “Zara! Tell me why there’s a surveillance camera! Explain it to me!”

Zara trembled and involuntarily retreated.

Xaviera spoke calmly, “I remember that just now Miss Woods also agreed that those who destroy materials should be disqualified. If you plead for him, I might think that you and Mr. Scot are in this together.”

Yigol Mamet chimed in, “That’s right! Even though the materials Howard destroyed belonged to Zara, he took Xaviera’s materials as well. If Howard successfully framed Xaviera, she would be expelled from the competition. In any case, it’s Xaviera who’s at a disadvantage.”

“Zara was constantly persuading Xaviera to admit her guilt and apologize to everyone just now. If she pleads for Howard now, that would be a double standard.”

“Could it be... that you and Howard conspired to frame Xaviera?”

At this remark, everyone immediately looked at Zara with suspicion.

“I...I didn’t.”

“Zara! You explain it to them! I did this for you! I have no grudge against Xaviera. Why would I harm her if it wasn’t for...”

Zara’s face lost all color.

Howard had admitted that he destroyed the materials and framed Xaviera for Zara’s sake.
