Belinda showed a hint of sympathy, âHey, donât panic, letâs help you look for IIâ
Ellinor squinted seeming to have foreseen what was about to happen.
Byran also started to help search then Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at Ellinor with suspicious eyes and questioned, âOil Werenât you the one who brought back Haillieâs coat?â
Ellinor nodded. âYes, I did Got a problem with that?â
Byranâs eyes showed a hint of contempt. âThen why didnât you return Haillieâs wristwatch to her?â
Ellinor remained calm, âI didnât take it, so what am I supposed to return?â
Byran suddenly grabbed Ellinorâs arm, as if afraid she would run away, âFrom the beginning to end, you were the only one who touched Haillieâs coat. If you didnât take it, then who did?â
Ellinor remained calm, âWhen going to the restroom, she asked me to hold it for her; I just did her a favorâ
Byran scoffed. âThen, you took the opportunity to rob someoneâs pocket!â
Ellinor remained calm, âI didnât.â
Clearly, Byran didnât believe her, he threatened, âYour words donât count! If you didnât take it, dare to let us search you?â
Belinda pushed Byran away unhappily. âHave you lost your mind! How could my aunt steal a watch! My uncle would buy it if she really likes it!â
Byran scorned with a sneer, âThen she should agree to the search! To prove her innocence!â
âNo search, why should we let you search! Searching in public is an insult!â Belinda stood firmly before Ellinor, determined not to Yesterday at the bar, her aunt risked herself to save her, today, she would protect her aunt no matter what!
Feeling that Belinda was in the way, Byran tried to pull her aside. In the scuffle, Ellinor had been pushed back a stepâ¦
With a thump, something fell onto the ground Het him approach.
Byran let go of Belinda and picked up the thing that fell next to Ellinor, his eyes wide open, âWhatâs this? Do you still dare to say you didnât take it? You look so innocent, but youâre actually a thief! You donât deserve to marry Theol Haillie looked at Ellinor with disbelief, âEllinor, did you take it?â
Ellinor didnât know where the watch fell, she furrowed her brows.
She looked at Haillie and gently curled her lips, âWhether I took this watch myself or you deliberately put it on me, Haillie, you should know better than me, right?â
Haillie feigned innocence, âEllinor, what are you talking about? Why would I do such a thing?â
Byran couldnât help but interject, âEnough is enough! The watch clearly fell from you, you not only deny it but even dare to slander Haillie!â
The BBQ shop crowd had gathered around to watch the show, all eyes were on Ellinor, and whispers filled the roomâ¦.
âArenât they at the same table? Why would she steal from a friend?â
âThat girl doesnt seem like the type!â
âHah, in this world, you canât just judge by appearances!â
âWhatâs going on?â A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Theoâs presence made the atmosphere instantly drop.
This manâs aura was too strong, the crowd naturally parted to make way for him.
Belinda quickly ran to Theo and said. âUncle, youâre finally back! Byran keeps saying my aunt Ellinor stole Haillieâs watch, he even wanted to search her!â
Byran wasnât afraid, he held up the evidence and said: âTheo, bro, Iâm not slandering her! Haillieâs watch fell from Ellinor, everyone here saw it!â
Theo looked down at the watch, then looked at Ellinor. His expression was inscrutable; he asked sincerely: âDid you steal this?â
