Hope's eyes still revealed concern. They had the evidence, but they needed to consider Aria; how to release it was still an issue.
If they cut out the earlier part, it would precisely prove that they feared that piece of private footage being seen.
Lily Armstrong also had this video. By then, she wouldn't care about the consequences and might release all the footage out of spite, putting Aria in a bad situation.
This was the concern that Hope had.
"What video?" Aria's weary voice came from the staircase.
When Isla saw Aria standing on the staircase, she rushed forward, "Aria."
Aria's weary face had her tears wiped dry, but her eyes remained red. She asked again, "What video?"
Isla pulled her to sit on the sofa, "Aria, look."
Aria's gaze shifted to the computer, and as she watched the footage on it, her hands unconsciously gripped her clothes tightly. Isla was immersed in the joy that her daughter was about to clear her name and the bad people would get their comeuppance.
