Mrs. Duwait already knew what happened without looking at the surveillance footage. The reason she told the staff to cast it on the big screen was because she wanted to show everyone the truth and clear Caprice's name in front of John and Sherry.
The staff nodded and went off. "Mrs. Duwait, | have a suggestion," Isabel stepped up and said.
Mrs. Duwait looked at her standing in between Odell and Sylvia. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "What is it, Ms. Carter?"
"You can call me Ms. Ross.” Isabel corrected her.

Odell explained without changing his expression, "She used her mother's family name."
Mrs. Duwait chuckled. "| see."
She then looked at Isabel and asked, "What are you proposing, Ms. Ross?"
Isabel said with a smile, "I'd like to ask your security guards to block every exit of the estate." Mrs. Duwait knew what Isabel was trying to do.
She sneaked a furious glance at Beverly trembling at the side before she said to the security guards, "Bring all your men here. Before we get to the bottom of this, no one is allowed to leave."
"Yes, Madam." The security guards nodded and went off.
Isabel smiled. She intentionally sneaked a gaze at Heather standing among the crowd.
Heather's eyes flickered. She nervously held her mother's hand, seeking comfort.
Her mother, Sophia, was not in a good shape either. Her hands were cold and her face looked pale.
The atmosphere was suffocatingly quiet.
Suddenly, the big screen further away lit up, attracting everyone's attention.
Caprice also looked at the big screen.
The scene was showing her walking around the collection display.
Awhile later, she arrived at the pink diamond display but she walked away after a few glances.
While she was looking at a painting, the staff named Beverly snuck into the frame.
She stared at Caprice as she opened the glass case to take the pink diamond out.
Then, the alarm sounded.
She pretended that she had just arrived and screamed at the empty display case.
After she attracted a crowd, she accused Caprice of stealing the diamond because she was the only one there. The crowd then started to criticize Caprice without bothering to find out the truth. Some of them were extremely harsh with their words.
No matter how Caprice explained, no one listened to her.
When the screen revealed the truth, the people who criticized Caprice earlier immediately looked down in guilt. John and Sherry were furious. They stood by Caprice's side and supported her.
Heather then appeared on the screen. She asked Caprice what happened but someone else asked her who Caprice was. She then told everyone that Caprice was Liam's girlfriend and it attracted more criticism.
They questioned Liam’s taste in women and they showed no respect for Caprice as a person.
John grunted coldly. Sherry was infuriated.
Odell and Sylvia were both displeased as well.
Caprice was surprisingly calm. Now that the truth had been revealed, she was rather curious about how the diamond ended up in her bag.
She had her bag with her all the time and no one touched it before.
