Chapter 175
The bodyguard approached Moira with an iPad, showing surveillance footage.
It was the video from outside the women’s bathroom, capturing her entering followed by Lily. After a while, Lily exited, and Moira followed. Moira’s eyes focused on Lily’s hand, noticing that she was wearing a bracelet when she entered but her wrist was bare when she left.
Moira’s face turned slightly pale, her fingers clenched into fists at her sides. She raised her head and said, “I haven’t seen Ms. Marrow’s bracelet. Even if it was stolen, it doesn’t mean I took it. Other people used the bathroom after me
She didn’t know if Lily’s bracelet was really missing, but she hadn’t seen it. After she left, others had used the bathroom. She couldn’t understand why they were so sure she was the thief.
The ladies invited to this charity banquet were all prominent figures in Eldoria, well–mannered and from high society. Naturally, Lydia excluded them from suspicion
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying we’re thieves?” This came from the first lady who used the bathroom after Moira. She was alone all the time. If Moira wasn’t a thief, she would be the most likely suspect,
I’m not someone who would stoop so low”
“Exactly. Some people might think 650 thousand dollars is a lot, but in our families, it is just a meal. Who would steal for a meal! What a joke!”
I heard that your mother is a mistress. It’s not surprising that you can do such a sneaky thing”
Hearing the word “mistress“, Moira turned her gaze to the girl who looked at her with disdain. “Who told you my mother was a mistress!”
The girl glanced at someone nearby. Kayla fellt uneasy but, in front of so many people, she had to speak up. “Moira, your mother is indeed a mistress
Moira was furious. “A thief shouting to catch a thief. Clearly, your mother is the one who…”
“She must have hidden the bracelet in her bag!” Darlene interrupted Maira, signaling to her daughter.
Kayla immediately stepped forward and satchel Main’s handlaag before she could react,
“Give me back my bag? Moira tried to grab it back, but Kayla had already opened the bag, taken out Moira’s phone, and quickly found a shiny bracelet at the bottom.
She immediately took it out “It this in your bug?
Kayla was holding the very bracelet that had been reported missing
Moira’s face turned completely pale, and she shook her head in denial, “No, I didn’t take it!”
y is it in your bag”
“If you didn’t take it, why
There are witnesses and evidence. Why aren’t you admitting it! Are you trying to frame us?”
“Mrs. Morton, I think this girl is rotten to the core. There’s nothing more to say to her. Let’s call the police!”
Lydia nodded and told the bodyguard, “Call the police.”
The bodyguard immediately took out his phone to dial the emergency number.
Lily smiled smugly. No one who went against her had a good ending.
“Look, Conrad is here!
Someone suddenly shouted, and the banquet hall fell silent. Everyone turned to look and saw a dignified and tall man in a black suit entering from the hall’s entrance. The guests instinctively parted to make way for him.
Lily’s face turned slightly pale.
