Natalie took a few seconds to think, her expression betraying no sign of panic, as she stared straight at

Gracia and asked softly. “You said you polished the bracelet just last night before you went to sleep?”

“Yes.” Gracia sniffled, responding with a tone of injury.

Natalie couldn’t help but derisively chuckle, waving her smartphone at the others and

saying. “That’s what Gracia claimed. Got it all on record.”

“What’s there to be afraid of if she’s telling the truth?” Lydia was utterly baffled.

Natalie sneered, ignoring Lydia, and pointed toward the staircase where there was a security camera. “

“Of course!” Lydia snapped back icily. They only had a camera at the staircase. It couldn’t capture the h

“And, before I came up, my dear sister was already in her room, right? And she would know whether I

went in there, right?”

Samuel hesitated before turning to look at Gracia. novelbin

“I…” Gracia was flustered.

Neither she nor Lydia had considered these details. And they thought they could easily accuse Natalie i

“Tell me. Did I enter your room just now?” Natalie’s gaze became piercing as she stared down Gracia a

Gracia was cornered, speechless, as a layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead.

“Piper, when you came earlier, did you see me in Ms. Gracia’s room?” Natalie turned to question Piper,

who stood to the side.

“L… I don’t know,” Piper avoided Natalie’s eyes, her voice small.

“You don’t know? Well, I do.” With that, Natalie turned and returned to her room, picking up her laptop fr

computer.

The footage showed Natalie entering her room, sitting on the bed to organize her luggage, and making p

After reviewing both pieces of evidence, Samuel was speechless. The answer was clear Gracia had fram
