Chapter 85

Wendy said, “I really didn’t take it, I was just cleaning the bedroom and then went to the garden. When I came back, I saw Allison corning out from the balcony.” Allison gasped, shooting a glance at the man subconsciously.

She wasn’t sure what Wendy had actually seen

To the onlookers, it seemed like she was acting guilty. Margo gripped Allison’s arm tightly, “Allison, you’ve got some nerve, you even dare to steal Miss Penelope’s engagement ring!”

Allison immediately shot back, “I didn’t!”

Margo continued to press. “Then what were you doing sneaking off to the balcony?

Allison bit her lip, trying to keep her voice steady. “After cleaning upstairs, I came down to find Mr.

Lindberg making a call… After Mr. Lindberg left, I went to tidy up the balcony If you suspect I hid the ring there, feel free to go search.”

She was gambling, gambling that all Wendy saw was her coming out from the balcony.

Lucian glanced at her, this woman was smart, tactfully distancing herself from hirn while making him her alibi.

Sure enough, as soon as Allison finished speaking, all eyes fell on Lucian.

Lucian slowly said, “I was taking a call on the balcony, and I did see her.”

Penelope’s eyes widened, glaring at Allison.

She actually managed to draw Lucian’s attention in front of everyone!

But not long after, she masked her emotions, softly saying, “Allison, I’ve known you since we were kids, always treated you like a sister, if you took it, just give it back. promise I won’t do anything to you.”

Allison’s face turned solemn.

Penelope’s words were basically an accusation, a direct verdict of her crime.

This was Penelope’s premeditated trap!

With that in mind, she calmly said, “I didn’t take it.”

Lean angrily said. “Allison, you dare deny it! You stole from us when we were kids, even took my bracelet. I let it slide because of your circumstances, but this ring is Lucian and Penelope’s engagement ring, it’s very valuable. How could you think of stealing it!”

Allison’s fists clenched, her body trembling, and she was helpless.

Against this specially designed trap, she had no rebuttal.

She stood alone, facing everyone’s questioning and disdain, feeling unimaginably awkward, but she still stood firm

Lucian watched her, suddenly feeling a pang of pity

Just as he was about to speak, Kamilla sneered, “Maybe someone’s just putting on a show?”

“Kamilla!” Cora silently scolded, Kamilla quickly bit her tongue, stopping herself from speaking. On the way here, she was explicitly told not to cause trouble for Penelope, but seeing her c g and hypocritical demeanor, she just couldn’t help herself.

Cora gently patted Penelope’s hand, comforting, “Penelope, think again, maybe you left it somewhere else?”

She had been observing Allison from the moment she appeared. Although her face was covered by a mask, her clear and bright eyes and her defiant demeanor, despite being a maid, didn’t seem like someone who would steal

Penelope, on the verge of tears, ‘No, I already looked”

Allison lifted her eyes, a determined glint in them, “If it really can’t be found, let’s call the police!”

Everyone was taken aback. Why would a thief want to involve the police?
