If not for her petite frame and adorably innocent features, no one would have believed that such words came from a four-year-old child.
At Sophiaâs words, everyoneâs attention shifted to the bracelet Amelia held.
Lysanderâs icy gaze was fixed unblinkingly on Amelia.
Amelia faltered, a flash of panic quickly passing through her eyes, revealing her guilt.
âMy little sister is the best. Sheâs the leader of her kindergartenâs treasure hunting class. She has received lots of awards from her teacher. She wouldnât make a mistake,â Dorian said proudly, his head held high.
âYes, my sister is the best. She couldnât be wrong,â Atticus nodded vigorously.
âGo Sophia, weâre all rooting for you!â Elowen clenched her chubby little fist, cheering on Sophia with a serious expression on her tiny face.
When the adorable children spoke in their sweet, childish voices, everyoneâs hearts melted. Many people couldnât help but look at the little ones with affection.
Amelia grew increasingly flustered, trying to maintain her stance under the pressure. âThis is indeed a good bracelet, but itâs not the Sinclair family heirloom.â
âAmelia, if Iâm not mistaken, what youâre holding is the bracelet that has been passed down through generations of the Sinclair family. The Draven family curio shop has a record of this bracelet. Iâve studied it myself, so I couldnât be mistaken.â
At this point, Richard Draven, who had been watching the crowd from the sidelines, stepped forward, looking at the bracelet in Ameliaâs hand as he voiced his opinion.
Richard, the young master of a family with a long history in the antique trade, was well-versed in antiques. No one knew them better than he did.
If even he said that the bracelet was real and was the Sinclair family heirloom, could there be any doubt?

Ameliaâs face turned ashen.
Lysanderâs handsome face was cold, his low voice echoing in the room, âRegardless of the truth, we must get to the bottom of this. We cannot let anyone be wronged without reason. The Sinclair family has always been fair.â
As he spoke, Lysanderâs gaze shifted to Zephyr, His final words, âThe Sinclair family has always been fair,â were clearly intended for Zephyr.
Lysander was invoking the Sinclair familyâs reputation; Zephyr couldnât let this matter be brushed under the carpet.
Zephyr understood Lysanderâs intentions. He wanted to uncover the truth and to do justice for Thalassa!
He couldnât let Thalassa be falsely accused.
N Zephyr knew that Lysanderâs attitude towards Thalassa was different. He seemed to be overly protective of her.
But Lysander didnât explicitly say he wanted to do justice for Thalassa, Instead, he spoke of the Sinclair familyâs fairness.
If Zephyr wanted to let this go, he would have to compromise the Sinclair familyâs reputation.
What Zephyr cared about the most was the Sinclair familyâs public image.
Plus, today was an important day with many prominent figures present. If he let this matter slide, it would lead to speculation about the Sinclair familyâs motives.
Zephyr pondered for a moment, then ordered his staff, âTurn on the banquet hallâs big screen, and project the surveillance footage on it.â
At this, Charlotte turned pale, her heart pounding in her chest.
