Chapter 21 The Trick Failed
“This is my ring!” Adela was excited. She looked at Melissa fiercely. “Melissa, you stole it! This is the
evidence. What else do you want to say?”
Seeing this, Melissa was still very calm.She had expected this.
The moment the waiter testified against her, she was certain that the ring was in her handbag.
Melissa was framed.
Obviously, Adela did this.
“Melissa, in fact, if you returned it and apologized to me, I would forgive you.” From the corner of her
eyes, Adela caught a glimpse of the tall figure. Adela knew it was Murray. That was why her voice was
indescribably soft, and she was completely different from the arrogant woman just then.
“Adela, you are too kind. A thief cannot be tolerated! We should call the police. It is fair!” Julie said.
Julie pretended to be mean. She wanted to let other people know how nice Adela was.
“Then, let’s call the police.” Adela nodded.
“Melissa, you ask for it. Stealing such a precious thing is not a small crime. Wait to go to jail!” Claire’s
eyes flashed with pride, and she quickly cut off all relations with Melissa.
Melissa was still very calm, as if the person being blamed was not her.
Call the police?It suited her wish.It was more interesting to expose Adela’s trick in front of the police.
“What is it?”
A familiar male voice pulled back Melissa’s thoughts.
Melissa looked up and saw Murray.
The suit perfectly outlined his perfect figure. His handsome face was compelling. His dark eyes were
sharp. The lights in the banquet hall coated his body with a layer of golden light. The imposing manner
around him was so huge that it made people unable to resist.
“Mr. Gibson!”
People retreated to both sides and made way for Murray, who was walking toward Melissa.
“Murray, Melissa stole my ring, ” Adela complained first. She bit her lip in a grievance. “It’s a
“Murray, Melissa stole my ring,” Adela complained first. She bit her lip in a grievance. “It’s a birthday gift
from my grandfather.”
“It can’t be her,” Murray said slightly.
“What?”
Melissa was surprised. Murray was helping her?
“Murray, don’t believe her!” Before Adela spoke again, Claire interrupted. “Someone saw her. Just now,
the security guard also found this ring in her handbag. There were so many people, and they all saw it!”
“In fact, I don’t believe Ms. Eugen will steal things. After all, she is your fiancée. But…”
Adela paused and leaned toward Murray. She looked pitiful and delicate. “Everyone has seen my ring
in her handbag. The ring can’t just run, right? Murray, you won’t be partial to Melissa, will you?”
Adela pretended to be innocent. Melissa stood there calmly. With Adela’s acting skills, it would be a pity
if she didn’t become an actress. Otherwise, the Oscar Award would be hers.
After hearing Adela’s words, Murray looked at Melissa and asked indifferently, “Did you take it?”
Melissa looked at him and smiled. “If I say no, will you believe me?”
“I will.” Murray blurted out without thinking.
Her eyes looked confident and frank, and it could not be faked. Murray was willing to believe her.
Melissa smiled. She did not expect Murray would believe her when she was wronged. “Murray!” Claire
stomped her feet in anger. She did not understand what was good about this country woman and why
Murray was so obsessed with her.
“If you didn’t take it, why would the ring end up in your handbag?” Receiving Adela’s signal, Julie asked
Melissa.
Melissa looked straight at Adela and smiled. “Someone put it in.”
Melissa’s sharp eyes made Adela feel guilty.
Adela thought, Could it be that Melissa knew something?
It is impossible!
My plan is flawless. Melissa will end up in jail. This is going to happen!
“Check the surveillance video.” Murray’s look changed. He asked his assistant, Alex Carson, to come
here.
“Yes.” Alex nodded and went to check.
Melissa’s eves moved slightly. The banquet hall was equipped with surveillance cameras. As long as
one checked the video, one could know who took Adela’s ring,
However, since Adela had set up such a trap to frame her, how could she let people watch the video so
easily?
As expected, a few minutes later, Alex returned. “Mr. Gibson, the surveillance cameras are broken.”
“Broken?” Murray narrowed his eyes slightly.
There was indeed something wrong with this.
It was Archer’s birthday party. The hotel was very careful. How could it be so coincidental that the
cameras were broken?
Melissa frowned. “Actually, it’s very simple. If I took the ring, then my fingerprints would be on it. As
long as you ask a professional staff to check the fingerprints, the truth will be revealed.”
“Melissa, stop pretending.” Adela looked at Melissa, and she looked at Murray, pretending to be
generous. “How about this? You apologize to me, and I will forgive you, for the sake of Murray.”
As long as Melissa apologized to her, it would mean Melissa admitted that she was a thief.
Even if Murray said that he believed her, he would still be disappointed.
Moreover, Sarah would never let a thief be her daughter-in-law. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Adela thought if she let Melissa go, she would be a kind-hearted, generous, and decent woman in
Murray’s eyes. Such a nice trick!
Melissa looked at Adela indifferently. “What? Are you afraid?”
Melissa’s gaze seemed to have a penetrating power, irritating Adela. She gritted her teeth. “Melissa,
since you insist, why would I dare not?”
“Okay, then call the police and investigate,” Melissa said calmly.
Melissa had never touched the ring, so her fingerprints would not be on it. As long as it was examined,
it could prove her innocence.
“Murray, the…” Marc looked at Murray. After all, Melissa was his fiancée.
Murray made a phone call and soon the police chief came here with his colleagues forward and said
respectfully.
