âWhatâs happening?â Yara and Irwin stood up and asked in confusion.
âUncle Irwin and Aunt Yara, Yvie suspects me of stealing her things!â Yasmin quickly spoke up.
She showed a look of grievance. âBut having grown up in the Murray Manor, Iâve always had everything I wanted. Why would I need to steal from her?â
Yasmin added, âBesides, Yvle grew up in the countryside. She doesnât have anything valuable.
What can I possibly steal from her? What have I done to provoke her that she would falsely accuse me of theft!
As they witnessed this scene, Yara and Irwin didnât know what to do!
Although Yasminâs words were harsh, there was some truth to them. Ever since Yasminâs parents passed away, she had been under Irwin and Yaraâs care.
In their eyes, Yasmin had always been a kind and obedient child. They couldnât believe she would steal anything But they also knew that Yvette would never falsely accuse anyone.
They were in a dilemma, torn between the two.
In the face of their hesitation, Yasminâs eyes filled with tears. She looked particularly pitiful, which evoked sympathy from others.
ââYvie, are you mad at me for asking Aunt Yara to accompany me to the Starlight Entertainment audition tomorrow? Is that why youâre falsely accusing me?
âI have no intention of competing for Aunt Yaraâs affection. You donât need to put your guard up against me. And you even stoop to such despicable means to slander me.â
u didnât steal that emerald pendant?â
As Yvette watched Yasmin countered unfairly, her expression grew darker. âAre you sure you did Yasmin suppressed her guilt and said pitifully, âOf course. I swear something bad would happen to me if I had stolen your belongings.â
Before Yasmin could finish her sentence, Yvette swiftly took out the emerald pendant from Yasminâs pocket.
âWhat do you have to say now?â
Yvette caught Yasmin glancing at her pocket just now. The subconscious reactions she made out of guilt were undeniable.
As the emerald pendant fell from her pocket, Yasminâs expression changed. She cursed inwardly.
âYasmin, you actually stole Yvieâs itemâ¦â
Facing Yara and Irwinâs shocked and disappointed gazes, Yasmin flustered. Both of them were her greatest support in this family. If they disliked her, she couldnât get anything from them in the future.
Yasmin resented Yvette for ruining her kind and obedient image in Yara and Irwinâs eyes!
Despite her inner rage, she cried pitifully, looking fragile and sorrowful. âUncle Irwin and Aunt Yara, Iâm sorry. I like the emerald pendant too much. I lost my senses and resorted to stealing it!
With hard evidence, she had no choice but to admit it.
Yara and Irwin couldnât conceal their disappointment. But since they had raised Yasmin for so many years, they couldnât help but feel sympathetic seeing her cry miserably.
âYou should apologize to Yvie, not us.â
Yasaninâs gaze grew even more malicious. Apologizing to Yvette was worse than death to her.
She had only taken Yvetteâs emerald pendant. She didnât think they should side with Yvette to humiliate her because of it.
They always claimed that Yasmin and Yvette were equally important to them. But in the end, they still favored their biological daughter.
