Lucinda’s words caused Carlson to shake his head. She had let him down.
Tess was amused by Lucinda’s arrogance.
“Well, you are about to lose your dignity completely!” Tess turned off the speaker and said something to Benico.
When Tess received Benico’s consent, she called to Presley.
“Mrs. Turner, please ask someone to turn on the screen. Master Perez has agreed to a video call to confront Miss Ross here, so everyone can see whether he really knows the thief or not.”
Presley didn’t move. She glanced at Jennifer who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Jennifer was staring at Lucinda.
Feeling Jennifer’s gaze, Lucinda nodded slightly. She appeared very calm.
Jennifer sighed.
She decided it was useless to worry when Lucinda was unconcerned.
Jennifer did what Tess asked.
A few minutes later, the screen at the center of the stage turned on.
Tess stood on the stage and made sure the video call connected. The first person that Benico would see was her, and she wanted to make a good impression.
The video call connected and Benico sat on a chair. He had practiced martial arts for many years, which had extended his youth. It was impossible to tell that he was only just over fifty.
With an elegant manner, Tess bowed to Benico respectfully.

“I am honored to meet you, Master Perez. I’m Tess Green, daughter of the Green family. I’m sorry to bother you. I…”
Before Tess could finish, Benico interrupted her impatiently.
“Don’t waste my time. Where is the person who dares to steal my martial arts and pretend to be my apprentice?”
Tess looked embarrassed to be shunned in front of so many people.
She quickly regained her composure and blamed it on Lucinda.
“Master Perez, it’s this woman. Now she even claims you learned martial arts from her!”
The camera turned to Lucinda.
Lucinda smiled into the camera.
“Benico, long time no see.”
