Melina stepped back, her face ashen, and eximed in dismay, “It wasn’t me! I didn’t take the diamond!”


    “If you didn’t steal it, then why was it found in your bag?” Hannah inquired with a nonchnt tone.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Thinking that if Melina enjoyed such deceit, she deserved to fall into the same snare!


    “I… How should I know why it ended up in my bag…”


    Before Melina could finish, her eyes widened in shock.


    She pointed a trembling finger at Hannah and used, “It was you! You nted the diamond in my bag to set me up! It had to be you!”


    She quickly found an excuse and turned to face Master Murray.


    “Master Murray, please believe me.


    I didn’t steal your diamond! It was Hannah! She realized we were onto her, so she hid the diamond and slipped it into my bag to set me up!”


    Master Murray remained silent, her eyes briefly flicking to the diamond on the table before returning to Melina with a look of disappointment.


    A shiver ran down Melina’s spine, and she turned to re at Hannah.


    “You did this, didn’t you? Is it because of Bryson?”


    The onlookers relished the drama, eager to see a sh over a man.


    They watched intently, hoping for a confrontation.


    However, Hannah wasn’t about to o


    blige them.


    She shed a smile and responded, “Miss Glyn, not everyone is as desperate for men as you seem to be.


    First, you use me of theft, yet no diamond was found in my bag.


    Then, when it turns up in yours, you im I nted it there.


    How could I possibly have slipped the diamond into your bag?”


    Melina retorted immediately, “It was when you had my bag! That’s when you did it!”


    Hannah shrugged nonchntly, spreading her hands.


    “I touched your bag in front of everyone.


    How could I have managed that without being seen?”


    “You! You!”


    Melina felt sweat trickling down her forehead as she heard Hannah’s words.


    “So, only your version of events is true, and everyone else’s is false?” Hannah questioned.


    Master Murray, not wanting to escte the situation, stepped forward and retrieved the diamond.


    “It seems I unknowingly left it with Miss Glyn.


    I had taken the diamond earlier.


    Perhaps I forgot to return it.


    I was engrossed in conversation with Miss Glyn and must have forgotten about the diamond.


    My apologies for causing a false rm.


    ”


    People weren’t naive.


    They could see that Master Murray was attempting to cover for Melina.


    Thus, it seemed likely that Melina had indeed taken the diamond.


    Melina’s expression darkened, her body trembling as she turned to face Master Murray.


    “Madam.


    ”


    She tried to speak but was cut off by Master Murray.


    Master Murray, not wanting to create a scene, spoke quietly to Melina.
