Tomâs unfriendly gaze rested on Yvette. âSerenaâs accused you of stealing her sapphire bracelet.
Do you have anything to say for yourself?â
Before Yvette could say a word, her classmates jumped immediately to her defense.
âThatâs impossible! Yvie would never steal Serenaâs sapphire bracelet or anything like that!â
âThatâs right. Yvie would never do something like that!
Knowing that Tom had helped her out before, Serena said haughtily, âSo she didnât steal it just because you said so? I say she was the one who stole my bracelet. Hurry up and take her to the police station, Uncle Tom!â
She wanted the stain of being a thief indelibly stamped on that bitchâs record!
âYvie would never steal your stuff!â
As both sides fought incessantly, Yvette remained calm and collected, as though she wasnât the one who had just been falsely accused.
Her confidence made Serena grind her teeth in indignation. âUncle Tom, just look at her! Look how audacious she is even after she just stole my stuff! A lowlife like her needs to be locked up for weeks on end for her to learn her lesson!â
Yvette finally lifted her gaze. Her eyes rippled with biting coldness. It was a terrifying sight.
âWhat evidence do you have to say that I stole your stuff?â
âWell, you stole it!â Serena stuck out her chin, adamant. âOnly you and I were in close proximity to each other. It couldnât have been anyone else but you!â
Even with such a baseless accusation, Tom still took Serenaâs side. âSince you wonât confess that youâve stolen Serenaâs bracelet, youâll have to let us do a body search.â
âYes, exactly!â Serena nodded, then added, âIf youâre going to keep up with this stubborn attitude and refuse to confess, then let us do a body search on you!
Sheâd taken the opportunity to carefully slip her sapphire bracelet into Yvetteâs pocket when they had been close together. That slut would curl up and die from embarrassment if they did a body search!
Yvette immediately saw through her plan. Her rosy lips curved into a cold smile. âNone of you are worthy of searching my body.â
âYvette, youâ¦â
Serena had not expected her to still be so bold. Immediately, she started crying to Tom, âDonât you see how shameless she is, Uncle Tom? Giving us that kind of attitude even after stealing my stuff.
You canât let her go on like this. You have to lock her up!â
Tom had received his position only because the Sutton family had arranged it. Now that Serenaâs father was the head of the Sutton family, Tom would naturally not go against Serenaâs wishes.
Hearing this, he immediately nodded. âYouâre absolutely right, Serena. Your bracelet is worth millions. This is a very serious case indeed. If she doesnât cooperate, Iâll take her to the station right away! I believe every word you say, Serena. If you say she stole your bracelet, then that must be true!â
Watching Tom behave so disingenuously, the frostiness in Yvetteâs eyes turned icier. âIs that how you do things?â
Tom was speechless by her words.
Yvetteâs elegant voice was tinged with coldness. âYouâre not worthy of wearing this blue uniform.â
âWhy, you-â Enraged, Tomâs face flushed in embarrassment. âFirst you steal my nieceâs bracelet, then you treat me with such blatant contempt? Seize her, men. Sheâs coming with us!â
The police officers behind him looked conflicted, but they couldnât do anything against his orders.
Reluctantly, they replied, âYes, chief.â
âYou donât have to,â Yvette said, completely unbothered. âI can go by myself.â
As soon as she said that, she strolled out in confident, lengthy strides.
