Maggie’s fear hadn’t yet subsided. She clenched her clothes, barely managing to control herself from trembling. 

The sight of Jean just now had her convinced she had seen the Grim Reaper himself. Now, she was even more afraid to admit that she had stolen something. 

Without a second thought, she stubbornly denied it, “I’ve already told you, I didn’t steal anything! Didn’t you just search my room? You clearly didn’t find anything! Why are you still blaming me for the lost item? Maybe she just misplaced it somewhere and forgot, or she lost it somewhere by accident. Why do you insist that I stole it if you can’t find it?” 

When she recalled that they hadn’t found anything just now, her eyes flickered with renewed confidence, and she began to stir 

up 

trouble. 

“Do you think that power and influence give you the right to oppress others and casually frame others? This is not how  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

you should treat people! Neera, I am, after all, your adoptive mother. How could you team up with others to treat us like this? Don’t you have any conscience? You accused us of being shameless, but who is the real shameless one here? If I had known you were such an ungrateful wretch, I would never have taken you in. I should have let you starve out there! If people outside knew that your good reputation is all a sham, that you’re actually such an opportunist, what would they say about you?” 

Neera chuckled in exasperation. “Even now, you’re still so stubborn, thinking the whole world owes you, right? Let me tell you, I have a clear conscience, and I’m not afraid of anyone trying to criticize me behind my back! But what about you two? Aren’t you afraid that your lies will backfire, or that you’ll receive retribution?” 

Maggie stood her ground, showing absolutely no signs of remorse. 

“I believe the one who deserves to receive retribution is you! How could you treat your own parents. this way, favoring wealth over poverty, clinging to the illustrious Beauvort family, and discarding your adoptive parents without a second thought? You’ve not only ignored us, but now you’re teaming up with these people to bully us! You even hurt us. I’m warning you, if anything happens to Nigel, I don’t care if you’re from a powerful family, I will never let this go!” 

“All right, then.” Neera lifted her chin, showing no fear. “Let’s deal with one thing at a time. Since you want to settle accounts, let’s first clear up this matter before moving on to the next. My daughter’s bracelet is missing, and I refuse to believe it grew legs and ran off, or sprouted wings and flew away. It must be somewhere in this house. If it’s not in your room, then we must look elsewhere. I’m going to find that bracelet even if it means turning this house upside down!” 

A pang of anxiety hit Maggie, but she maintained a defiant facade. “What does it have to do with me whether you can find it or not?” 

Neera sneered, “Haven’t you been insisting all along that you didn’t steal? All right, then, let’s see where we can find this bracelet. If it can be proven that you truly didn’t steal, then fine, I’ll apologize to you and even compensate your medical expenses. I’ll make sure you get paid exactly the amount!” 

Maggie gritted her teeth, remaining silent. 

“What’s the matter, cat got your tongue? Feeling guilty, are we?” 

10:41 Fri, 8 Dec DR. 

Left with no other choice, Maggie finally agreed, “Fine! But remember what you said. If it turns out that I didn’t steal anything, I want you all to apologize to me and compensate me. And it’s not just for the medical expenses, but also for emotional distress. You’ll have to pay me for both!” 

“Sure,” Neera readily agreed. 

Without missing a beat, she immediately called for Mr. Jenkins, instructing him to take the servants and conduct a thorough search of the entire villa.. 

Soon, the servants set to work, meticulously searching the entire villa from top to bottom. 

Throughout this time, Maggie’s heart was pounding incessantly. 

She thought she had concealed it well, but Neera saw right through her. Her nervousness was clearly visible to the naked eye. 

Neera sneered in his heart, not bothering to respond. 

Roughly twenty minutes later, Mr. Jenkins walked in from outside, holding a small cloth bag. 

At this moment, everyone, except for Frederic, had gathered in the living room. 

When he walked in, he first glanced at the couple, Maggie and Nigel, his eyes filled with disgust and contempt. Then he moved to Neera’s side and handed her the inconspicuous bag for her to see. 

“Look, isn’t this bracelet the one that belongs to Ms. Penny?” 

Before Neera even took it out of the bag, she recognized it at first glance. That bracelet was the very one she had personally designed for Penny. 

At that moment, her eyes narrowed, and she asked coldly, “Where was this found?” 

Mr. Jenkins immediately replied, “It was in a corner of the yard, where someone had deliberately dug a small hole and covered it with soil. It was very inconspicuous, and no one noticed it at first. It was only after Cece dug it up and started barking loudly, calling us all over, that we discovered it.” 

Unexpectedly, it was the dogs who made a great contribution, which was somewhat surprising to 

Neera. 

She emptied the contents of the bag onto the coffee table, discovering that besides Penny’s bracelet, there were some other items as well. 

Wrenn spotted her own ring at a glance. She immediately stepped forward in surprise and picked it up. “Isn’t this my ring? And this, it’s the necklace from my wedding anniversary this year!” 

She was livid. She turned to glare at Maggie, her teeth clenched in fury as she scolded, “Your audacity is impressive that you dare to steal anything!” 

Neera asked sternly, “What else do you have to say?” 

Maggie was dumbfounded. 

She never expected to be discovered despite hiding them so well. 

She had anticipated that they would search the room, which was why she had thought to bury it. When it was time to leave, she planned to dig it up and take it away while they were not paying attention. 

But now her plan had been ruined. 

She looked at the jewelry, a lump forming in her throat as she argued, “What does finding these things prove? They weren’t found in the room I’m staying in, nor were they found in my bag. On what grounds can you conclude that I stole these items? It’s possible that you orchestrated this whole scene, trying to frame me. Or perhaps it’s your servants who are the thieves, and they hid the stolen items somewhere, only for you to stumble upon them. So what if you are powerful and influential? If you want to pin a crime on me for no reason, I will never admit to it unless I’m dead!”

Seeing her still being stubborn, Jean was about to say something when suddenly, Pixie, who had somehow slipped over unnoticed, stood up. Its front paws were on the coffee table, pulling down a small cloth bag. It then began to nuzzle its snout into the opening of the bag. 

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, it quickly, as if performing magic, pulled out a bank card from within.
