"Isn't she supposed to be suspended? Why is she back? Was she allowed to return?"

As the break menced, Elyse's unexpected appearance sparked chatter among the crowd. The

events from the previous day were fresh in everyone's minds, fueling their curiosity.

While others engaged in speculation, Freddy pondered whether to approach Elyse. Just then, Rebekah walked out of the rehearsal room.

As Freddy debated his next move, snippets of conversation floated around him.

"Rebekah's been acting strangely lately. Did you see her carrying that expensive purse today? It must've cost a fortune! Where did she suddenly get all that money from?"

"I don't know. Could it be a loan?"

"And that gem bracelet she's wearing? It looks pricey!"

"But do you really think she could afford such luxury? I'm betting that purse is just a knockoff!" The girls exchanged glances and proposed, "Why don't we check it out ourselves? That way, we can determine if it's original."

Upon hearing this, Freddy hesitated, retracting his steps.

The girls approached Rebekah's purse on a chair, intent on inspecting it. But Rebekah's quick return was unexpected. She reacted angrily, "Are you out of your minds? How dare you go through my belongings?"

Reaching for her purse, Rebekah accidentally knocked it to the floor, scattering its contents. Amidst the chaos, Freddy spotted a flash drive.

Realizing her mistake, a girl retrieved the flash drive for Rebekah, apologizing. "We didn't mean any harm. Please forgive us. We were just curious about the authenticity of your purse." However, Rebekah's agitation only increased upon seeing the flash drive. Snatching it up, she vehemently defended her purse. "Of course, it's real. You could never afford it, you poor losers!" The group's expressions soured after the scolding, and they walked away in frustration after a few retorts.

Observing this, Freddy noted how Rebekah dusted off her purse and carefully retrieved the flash drive.

It appeared that the flash drive held greater value to her than the purse.

Puzzled, Freddy wondered how the value of a flash drive could rival that of a designer purse. Could the information on the drive be so valuable?

Freddy's suspicion grew. He couldn't shake the feeling that there might be something secretive or significant stored on

In the monitoring room, Elyse joined Darren to review the surveillance footage. To their dismay, they discovered that the footage from the day of their first performance had mysteriously disappeared, with even the backup copy nowhere to be found.

Darren let out a sigh of frustration. "I spoke to the security," he explained, "and there was only one guard on duty that day. Since there were no orchestra members present, he wasn't stationed in the monitoring room during his breaks or when he needed to step away. He has no idea who might have sneaked in."

Elyse nodded, her expression grave. "The person who accessed the surveillance system must be familiar with the building's security protocols. It's highly likely that it's one of our orchestra members."

Darren rubbed his temples, perplexed. "It's possible, but I can't say for sure who it might be." "It's Rebekah," Elyse asserted confidently.

Darren's eyes widened in disbelief. "Really? Are you certain?

Elyse nodded solemnly, informing Darren about Rebekah's involvement in accepting six hundred thousand from Mabel.

After a moment of consideration, Darren said, "If that's the case, it's plausible. Otherwise, it's difficult to determine who your sister might be collaborating with within our

Elyse agreed, acknowledging the logic behind Darren's words. "But I lack direct evidence to prove that Mabel stole my sheet music with Rebekah's assistance. Could the money have been received for another purpose?"

Deep in thought, Darren replied, "Then our best bet is to locate the surveillance footage, as it's our only tangible evidence."

With determination, Elyse dialed Jayden's number. Even though the surveillance video had been deleted, she believed there might be alternative methods to recover the data.

Jayden had assured her that if she encountered any difficulties, she could rely on him for

assistance. Elyse decided to heed his advice and let him aid her in the investigation.
