Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Were You Out of Your Mind or Deaf?

Audrey’s eyes still held a hint of sleepiness, her long lashes fluttered lightly as she looked towards Carlic, Mabel, and a few other girls who were good friends with Carlie, standing by Ingrid’s desk.

Ingrid sat in the chair, her eyes red under her glasses, her delicate face pale. She said to Carlie with embarrassment and anger, “I didn’t steal your bracelet!”

“So you’re saying you didn’t steal it? I went back to the dorm to rest at noon, put my newly bought Tiffany bracelet in the drawer, and when I woke up, it was gone. At that time, only the two of us were in the dorm. If you didn’t steal it, then who did?”

Carlie glared at Ingrid with disdain, “Who doesn’t know that your family sells buns? I heard that you were able to attend Elsa Noble High School because when Elsa Noble High School built a new campus, it took over the land of your old house. The principal promised your parents that when you grew up, you could attend Elsa Noble High School!”

“Being assigned to the same dormitory as a low–class pauper like you. was the worst luck I’ve had in eight lifetimes! Normally, I can’t be bothered to say a word to you, but you, you took advantage of me sleeping and stole my Tiffany bracelet worth nearly fifty thousand!”

Mabel and several other girls couldn’t help but cast disdainful looks at Ingrid.

Ingrid’s pale face turned bright red, her hands clenched into fists. Due to her shyness and introversion, she was not good at arguing with others. She kept repeating one sentence, “I didn’t steal!”

“Whether you stole it or not, we’ll know once we check your backpack,” one of the girls said.

Tears were spinning in Ingrid’s eyes, her l*ps quivered, “You have no right to go through my backpack!”

No sooner had Ingrid finished speaking than Carlie yanked Ingrid’s backpack and dumped its contents on the desk.

A diamond–studded Tiffany bracelet fell out.

Audrey, who was just about to speak for Ingrid, slightly furrowed her brows.

Carlie picked up the bracelet, sneered, the contempt in her eyes deepening. “Ingrid, are you still trying to argue?”

Mabel and several other female classmates began to accuse Ingrid:

“Being poor is one thing, but resorting to petty theft, that’s just shameless!”

“It had to be reported to the head of instruction, it was announced in the regular meeting on Monday to the whole school, Ingrid was a thief!”

“Usually appearing so honest and straightforward, turns out to be so vain!”

A thick sneer flashed in Carlie’s eyes, “Theft over a thousand can be filed, Ingrid. If you don’t want me to make a big deal out of this, kneel down and apologize to me with three bows!”

Ingrid shed tears of grievance and humiliation, shaking her head incessantly, “This bracelet belonged to my sister. She passed away in a car accident a month ago. Before she left, she gave me this bracelet. I’ve kept it in my bag and never wore it!”

Carlie and the others clearly didn’t believe Ingrid’s words, their gazes towards Ingrid becoming increasingly contemptuous and mocking. “To shake off the theft charges, you can even tell such lies, Ingrid, you really have no bottom line!”

“I didn’t lie, this bracelet truly was left by my sister.”

“Who doesn’t know that your whole family sells buns? I heard your sister dropped out of school a long time ago to make buns with your parents. Can she afford a Tiffany bracelet that costs nearly fifty thousand?”

As soon as Carlie spoke, Mabel and the others also nodded in agreement.

“Exactly. why should poor people pretend to be something they’re not!”

“Don’t you dare talk about my sister like that. She may have dropped out of school early, but she worked hard and earned money with her own two hands. Three months ago, she won the lottery. Our parents. didn’t want her money and told her to buy a piece of jewelry she liked. That’s when she bought this bracelet!”

“Ha, won the lottery? Ingrid, you’re so good at making up stories, why don’t you ascend to heaven!”

Carlie couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words with Ingrid. She grabbed Ingrid’s wrist. “Let’s go, to the headmaster’s office.”

Ingrid was dragged a few steps when suddenly another hand grabbed. hers. A sweet yet clear voice rang out, “Carlie, have you lost your mind, or are you deaf“? Didn’t you hear Ingrid say she didn’t steal your bracelet?”
