Chapter 174
Moira was brought to the front, and everyone stared at her with strange looks.
“Mrs. Morion, she’s here,” the bodyguard respectfully reported to the woman at the center of attention.
Lydia turned her head, her gaze falling on Moira’s face. As her eyes swept down to Moira’s stained dress, she showed clear displeasure and disgust.
Darlene immediately whispered to Lydia, “Mrs. Morton, she’s the illegitimate daughter told you before”
Lydia had already heard from Darlene that her son had caused trouble for Darlene’s husband’s business over a woman.
But she didn’t take it seriously, because she knew her son well enough.
With Conrad’s cold personality, he wouldn’t even give a good girl like Lily any attention, let alone stand up for a woman
Although she didn’t like his personality, his abilities were undeniable.
She wouldn’t interfere in his company’s affairs or speak on Darlene’s behalf. After all, no maner how much she disliked Conrad, he was still her son..
Besides, she had the Morton family as her backing, so she wouldn’t interfere with Conrad’s decisions for a small favor.
However, now that Darlene reminded her again, Lydia felt a little annoyed. At this moment, she stared at Moira’s strikingly beautiful face. Even though her gown was very dirty, it couldn’t hide her natural beauty.
There were many young and beautiful girls around, but she was the most stunning.
She unconsciously furrowed her brows. In front of everyone, she couldn’t mention her son, so she decided to wait until the charity banquet ended to have someone investigate
“Mrs. Morton, why not let it go? You’re here for charity today. It’s not worth wasting your precious time on this small matter. I’ll ask her privately later, it might not be her, Lily suggested sweetly and sensibly.
However, her words only made Maira seem more crude and inferior. The thought that Conrad might be involved with this woman ignited Lydia’s
anger.
At this moment, Darlene said, “Ms. Marrow, a thief wouldn’t admit to being a thief. Asking her privately is useless. Since she’s here, we should confront her. If we let her go, who knows if she’ll get rid of the stolen goods? Your bracelet must still be on her since no one has left yet!”
Moira had already guessed that this was Lily’s trick to frame her, and she could clearly see the disdain and shame in the eyes of the surrounding people. Standing among them. Moira’s face flushed red with anger. “I didn’t steal anything!”
“See? What did I say! A thief wouldn’t admit it Darlene deliberately raised her voice, causing the surrounding people to point at Moira
Lydia’s expression grew colder, but she maintained her elegance. “Hand over the bracelet and apologize to Lily. I’ll forgive you for being young and foolish this time. Otherwise.
“Do you have any proof that I stole her bracelet Moira’s anger surged.
She clenched her handbag tightly and gritted her teeth. “If you can’t provide any proof, it’s defamation, and I could sue you.”
“You want proof? Lydia glanced at the bodyguard standing nearby. “Go check on her.”
