Chapter 20 A Flawless Plan
“Really?” Melissa asked. It was clear that Adela had deliberately set a trap to accuse her of stealing things. Melissa smirked inwardly. How many tricks Adela would play? She thought and raked Claire disdainfully.
“What is going on?” Archer knitted his brows. In fact, he did not believe that Murray’s fiancée would steal things, but his granddaughter confirmed it with certainty. There were even witnesses revealing Melissa’s theft. In consequence, Archer had to believe it.
“I guess it is so… When Adela showed us her diamond ring, Melissa happen to pass by. Melissa seemed to like this diamond ring very much and looked at it for a long time.” Julie took a step forward and explained seriously.
Melissa was speechless. When did she like this diamond ring? And looking at it for a long time?
Julie continued saying, “Then we went dancing. Adela took off the diamond ring and put it in the handbag. But after we came back, the diamond ring disappeared.”
“Yes. Later, we found this waitress in the banquet hall. She said she saw someone take my diamond ring, and this person is Melissa!” Adela supplemented more ‘truth’, her excitement inside nearly busting out.
Adela had set up this flawless plot. Melissa must have no idea to cope with. At that time, Melissa would become a street at that everyone could beat. How could Murray marry such a thief?
As long as Murray and Melissa the country bumpkin, canceled their engagement, wouldn’t the position of Young Madam of the Gibson family belong to Adela?
Seeing Adela and Julie’s trick, Melissa sneered and squinted at the waitress with sharp eyes. “Did you really see me take Adela’s diamond ring?”
The waitress lowered her head. She did not dare to look into Melissa’s eyes. She nodded and murmured softly, “Yes, I witnessed it with my own eyes.”
“There’s no need to be afraid. Tell me the truth!” Julie eyed the waiter.
The waiter fidgeted nervously, “I went to the bathroom just now and saw Ms. Eugen wearing the diamond ring on her hand. When she saw me, she hurriedly hid the diamond ring in her handbag.”
“Melissa, return the diamond ring to Adela! You disgraced the entire Gibson family!” At some point in time, Sarah walked over with Claire.
“Sarah, don’t be angry. What does this have to do with the Gibson family?” Claire comforted quickly. “This rural woman has nothing to do with our Gibson family. Murray won’t marry a thief.”
Claire glared at Melissa fiercely. Her words made everyone believe that Melissa had stolen Adela’s diamond ring.
Some of the guests were discussing in a lower voice, pointing at Melissa,
Melissa took a fleeting look at them, with lips curling into a sneer. This was getting more and more interesting
“In that case, Ms. Eugen, please return it to me after everything is over.” Archer’s face was pale. He didn’t expect this kind of thing would happen at his birthday banquet, and the one who stole things was Murray’s so-called fiancée.
Running out of patience, Melissa was reluctant to explain more. She simply spat back. “I didn’t steal it.”
“Whether you took it or not, open your handbag, and we will know!” Adela thought Melissa was about to escape. She stepped forward and stopped Melissa.
Security guards in corners saw Archer wave his hands. They immediately went straight to Melissa, surrounding her without a crack left.
Seeing this, Melissa frowned subconsciously. It seemed that if she didn’t settle this matter today, she wouldn’t be able to leave.
After figuring out her dilemma, Melissa handed the handbag to Adela.
“Ridiculous! You want to see it so badly. You can unzip it now.”
Adela took over Melissa’s handbag, and her eyes flashed with a hint of success. Melissa saw it. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Adela handed the handbag to a security guard. “Open it and check.”
The security guard took the handbag. Gulping, he did not dare to ignore any details and carefully zipped off the bag.
The next second, someone boomed out, “It is her!”
Adela’s dazzling diamond ring was exactly in Melissa’s handbag!
