Chapter 86

Margo twitched a bit at the mention of “police,” and snickered, “Allison, you think just saying “police’

clears your name? The stuff got lost today, for sure it’s still with the thief. I say we search them and their place!”

Before Christopher could open his mouth, Lean had already made up her mind, “Search ’em, we’re getting to the bottom of this today!”

With the green light. Margo started frisking Wendy and Allison.

Allison clenched her fists, expecting Margo to take the opportunity to embarrass her. But to her surprise, Margo just gave her a quick pat down, then turned to Lean, “Maam, they’re clean. I’ll go check their rooms”

Lean nodded, and Margo bolted towards the shabby courtyard behind the villa

She opened Allison’s bag and dumped everything out. A pendant caught her eye, she tossed it aside, then unzipped the hidden compartment.

Ten minutes later

In the living room, Margo presented the ring with a face of wrath, “Got the evidence right here! Found Missy’s engagement ring in Allison’s bag, hidden away!”

Penelope took the ring and examined it, then turned to Allison with tears in her eyes, “Allison, we’ve been good to you How could you do this? I could ignore your past thieving habits, but this is my engagement ring with Lucian!”

Allison was stunned by the sight of the ring that had been pulled from her bag. She had only put her pendant in the bag before cleaning the bedroom and hadn’t touched it since, let alone seen this ring before.

Grinding her teeth, she was more convinced that Penelope had set her up.

“I don’t know how the ring ended up in my bag, but I didn’t take it. Maybe Margo knows more! If you can blame me for stealing the ring. I can say Margo framed me

Margo was fuming. “You stole Miss Penelope’s ring, and you dare to slander me!”

“Good point.” The silent Lucian suddenly spoke, looking intently at the ring “Allison, you claim Margo set you up. Do you have cameras at home?”

Allison was taken aback.

J There was no way she had cameras at home, but she quickly understood why Lucian was asking

She smiled confidently, “Yes!”

Not just Margo, but Penelope’s face also changed.

Lucian said, “If there are cameras, finding out who took the ring should be easy”

Margo’s face darkened even more, her pleading eyes turning to Penelope.

Penelope gritted her teeth, thinking, this idiot can’t even handle a small task!

Afraid of being exposed by the butler, she hurriedly said, “He’s been working here for many years, if this blows up, it won’t be good. I think since we’ve found the ring, we should drop it.”

“Penelope, how could you…” Lean was anxious, but when she saw Penelope’s eyes, she understood and said, “You’re too kind. If you, the person involved, don’t mind, then we’ll let it go. Allison, let’s chalk this one up to a bad day, but be more careful in the future.”

Allison bit her lip, her body shaking involuntarily.

Despite the fact that it was now apparent who the real suspect was – Margo – she was still blamed.

She knew that on one hand, she didn’t have any cameras at home, and on the other, if she really offended Penelope, the Flanagan family wouldn’t tolerate her.
