Lindsey wanted to exin, but she knew it was meaningless.


    With pursed lips, she opened her bag and looked inside.


    Sure enough, the sparkling diamond ring shone from the bottom of her bag.


    She took a napkin from the table and used it to pick up the ring.


    Seeing the ring twinkle under the bright lights, everyone became even more disdainful and angry.


    However, Lindsey waspletely unfazed.


    She held up the diamond ring looked around, and said confidently, “I can prove who really stole it.


    ”


    The crowd instantly fell silent and looked at Lindsey curiously.


    Eyes fiery with determination, Lindsey nced at the people present and said, “Before the ring was stolen, no one else had touched it except Mrs.


    Lopez.


    If we find someone else’s fingerprints on it, it’ll prove who the real thief is.


    ”


    As she spoke, Lindsey slowly turned around and smiled at Shelia.


    “That’s why I used a tissue to pick up the ring.


    ”


    Hearing that, all the color suddenly drained from Shelia’s face.


    She pounced on Lindsey and wanted to grab the ring, but Lindsey dodged her nimbly.


    “What on earth are you doing? You’re acting like a guilty person!”


    “Wh-what’re you talking about? Why should I feel guilty?” Shelia sputtered, eyes darting all over the ce in panic.


    “Enough with this nonsense and just admit that you stole it!”


    However, the onlookers felt that what Lindsey said was reasonable.


    It made sense to hand over the ring to the police for prints so that they could find out who the real thief was, lest they


    wrongfully use someone.


    Besides, if Lindsey was the thief, she wouldn’t have been so fearless.


    At least on the surface, it really seemed that the thief was someone else.


    Paige’s expression softened when she looked at Lindsey.


    “Then call the police and let them deal with it.


    ”


    Shelia’s confidence instantly evaporated.


    Panic overwhelmed her so badly that she started to tremble.


    If the police found her fingerprints on the ring, she would be done for!


    The consequences of offending Paige were dire; she could be banned from the entertainment industry forever! Worse yet, she could be put behind bars!


    Horrified by the thought, Shelia threw caution to the wind and rushed at Lindsey without warning.


    She practicallyunched herself at thetter, knocking the ring out of her hand.


    The shiny ring fell to the ground, rolling several meters away.


    Without a moment to lose, Shelia leaped to her feet and rushed in the direction of the ring.


    She had to get the ring and wipe her fingerprints off it so that no one could use her of stealing!


    The rolling ring hade to a halt a few meters away.


    Just as Shelia was bending over to grab it, a shiny leather shoe stepped on it.


    Shelia raised her head in a hurry, only to see Emilio standing in front of her.


    His usual gentle eyes were now icy cold.


    “M-Mr.


    Howard…” Shelia’s voice trembled.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Her face hadpletely lost its color, and her hair was disheveled from tackling Lindsey just now.


    Emilio’s icy gaze swept over Shelia.


    With a wave of his hand, the assistant behind him picked up the ring with iron tweezers and carefully ced it into a ck box.
