Right then, she hoped that Joseph would bring her good news when he replied within the week.
Just as she was thinking about it, her phone rang.
Lucille looked down and saw that it was a call from the police station.
She raised an eyebrow and tapped the answer button.
“Hello.”
“Miss Jules, based on the information and evidence that Sebastian Zanes has provided, you are
suspected of theft. Please come to the police station immediately,” the officer stated.
Lucille was not surprised at all when she received the news.
It was just as she had expected.
She replied, “Okay. Please give me 20 minutes.”
After hanging up the phone, Lucille went downstairs.
Madam Dahlia was busy in the kitchen. Seeing that Lucille was about to go out, she couldn’t help
asking, “Miss Jules, where are you going? Are you still going to have lunch at home?”
“Yes. I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
Lucille walked out of the door as she spoke. She then took a cab and headed straight for the police
station. Meanwhile, in the police station, Sebastian’s face was full of impatience. “How long has it
been? You aren’t even taking the initiative to catch her. Are you just going to let her run away?”
With a good temper, the officer responded, “Mr. Zanes, please wait patiently.” Time ticked by Twenty
minutes later, Lucille walked in from outside.
She was calm, neither servile nor arrogant. “I’m here.”
Sebastian’s gloomy eyes immediately swept over Lucille, and the fierce look on his face twitched. “So,
you’re the one who framed my daughter and stole her diamond necklace?”
“Mr. Zanes, you can’t say that. If you say that without any evidence, it’s a false accusation. Your
daughter has been arrested, and the evidence is conclusive that she did something wrong. As for you
saying that I stole your daughter’s necklace… May I ask, do you have any proof? Lucille countered.
She faced Sebastian’s gloomy eyes head-on as she straightened her back and gracefully retorted with
just a few words.
“Hmph. You sure know how to talk, you brat!” he grumbled.
Sebastian sneered, then shot the butler behind him a look. “You want proof, don’t you? Here it is!”
His butler immediately showed Lucille the notice and punishment from the school. Although the notice
was from two months ago, it was clearly written in black and white, saying that Lucille had stolen
Jenny’s private property and that it had been recorded. They also asked her to apologize to Jenny in
front of the whole school. “How dare you say that you’ve forgotten about something so horrible?” he
taunted.
Forgotten?
Of course not.
Lucille chuckled.
From what she remembered, it was only because of a single sentence from Zoey arrange that the
original host was wrongly accused. No one was on her side, and no one was willing to spend time to
find out the truth.
Everyone had eagerly turned against her with no regard for how she felt.
Even when she was forced to apologize, the original host insisted that she had not stolen anything.
At the time, Jenny rolled her eyes and threw the necklace into the trash in front of everyone. She had
also said, “It’s bad luck now that you’ve touched it. I don’t want it!”
Although things had blown over, her reputation as a thief was a huge burden on the original host. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucille asked, “Of course, I didn’t forget about it. Do you have any other evidence besides this,
though?” They couldn’t make a report over a single notice.
Sebastian had come prepared. Hearing that, he sneered and remarked, “There are several witnesses.
Your classmates and teachers at that time could all prove that you stole it! Who do you want to hear
from first? I’ll ask them to come immediately!”
“What a coincidence. I also have evidence to prove that I didn’t touch the necklace from beginning to
end,” she uttered.
Lucille raised her hand and pointed to the identification center in the police station. She said slowly,
“Two hours ago, the principal of our school personally sent the necklace to the identification center. I
think that the fingerprint identification results must be out by now, right?”
Fingerprint identification?
Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
That was right. They would find out whether she was the thief or not after checking the fingerprints.
