Chapter 50

Melvin was extremely anxious. He thought, ‘How could Grace possibly steal anything?” He did not believe it. In the past, she had never worn anything Mr. Brian bought for her. Grace was not that kind of person at all!

Louise looked at Grace in disappointment. “Grace, I really didn’t expect it to be you! Brian and I are so good to you. If your want something, just tell us. I can buy it for you as a friend. But why must you steal it?”

Louise looked devastated. Grace had a terrible headache. She repeated word by word, “I’ll say it once more. I didn’t steal anything from you.”

Ava suddenly stepped forward and slapped Grace hard. “You bitch! We’ve caught you red–handed, yet you’re still quibbling here!”

Grace’s head was ringing from the slap. She held onto the table to prevent herself from falling.

“Grace, you really disappoint me. I can condone you for slacking off, but I can’t condone you for stealing! This is a matter of principle!”

Grace sneered and thought, ‘They are determined to accuse me. What else can I say?

At that moment, the police suddenly arrived. Grace looked at the police outside the door before she looked coldly at Louise and Ava. She thought, These two sisters must have planned this long ago. The police arrived as soon as the necklace was found. They have long called the police with the intention of sending me into custody.”

Grace lowered her head and laughed self–deprecatingly. She thought, ‘This is good as well. Even if I have to stay in prison, it’s better than staying here.”

“Who’s the thief?”

Ava stood with the necklace and said, “Sir, we’ve found it. It was found in her room. She’s the thief,”

The police officer looked at Grace. “Did you steal it?”

Grace was silent for two seconds before looking at him. “They found something in my om, but I don’t know why it’s in my room.”

“You suspect they put it in themselves?”

Before Grace could nod, Ava stepped forward and said, “Don’t try to get away with it by accusing us!

When we went to search your room just now and found it in your room, many people saw it!”

Grace took a deep breath.

The police officer looked at everyone and asked Ava, “Is the necklace yours?”

“It’s my sister’s.”

The police officer stared at Ava with an intense gaze. Ava could not help but shudder.

The policeman turned to Louise. “When did you lose your necklace?”

*100% 13:15 “Last night”

Then, the police officer asked Grace, “Did anyone enter your room last night?”

Grace told the truth. “I don’t know. I went to bed early last night.”

The police officer looked at Grace for a while and said in a businesslike manner, “It seems that you can’t clear yourself of suspicion. Come with us first”

Looking at Grace’s hands being handcuffed, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Ava’s face.

Melvin watched as Grace was taken away. His expression was solemn as he silently walked to the side and took out his phone.

At that moment, Louise saw his actions and quietly walked up to him. “Melvin!”

Melvin was shocked and immediately locked his phone. “Miss Adkins.”

“What’s wrong? Are you going to call Brian again?”

“Miss Adkins, since something serious has happened at home, I think it’s better to inform Mr. Brian.”

Louise crossed her arms and sneered. “Are you trying to inform Brian or ask him to come back and save Grace?”

Melvin’s expression changed. “Miss Adkins, what–what do you mean?”

Im sure you know better than me what I mean, don’t you?”
