Chapter 873
Lysander said coldly, “All of you are accusing her of theft. Do you have any concrete proof?”
“We do, we caught her red–handed. We didn’t frame her.” Charlotte hurriedly held up the bracelet in her hand, turning her gaze on Susan. “Susan saw Thalassa take my bracelet and stash it in her pocket.”
Susan nodded vigorously, her eyes almost greedily glued on Lysander.
This man was so captivating.
This was her second time seeing him, and his every gesture, every frown and smile made her heart flutter uncontrollably.
She wished she could throw herself into his arms, cradle his face, and plant a passionate kiss on his lips.
Just one kiss, and it would all be worth it.
Lysander’s gaze swept briefly over Susan’s face, not even giving her a proper look.
“Why should we believe the words of someone insignificant? If you want concrete proof, just check the surveillance footage. We, the Sinclairs, always seek the truth, don’t we, Grandpa?”
Lysander’s gaze finally fell on Zephyr. Although he was asking Zephyr, his tone left no room for discussion.
By mentioning the Sinclair’s reputation for seeking the truth, he not only upheld the dignity of the Sinclair family, but also made Zephyr concede.
23 ON NE 190
Zephyr met Lysander’s deep and inscrutable gaze, his eyebrows furrowing almost imperceptibly. After a moment’s hesitation, he turned to his bodyguard and said, “Check the surveillance…”
Hearing about checking the surveillance, Charlotte’s face drained of color, panic flashing across her features. “This is a minor issue. We can’t trouble the Sinclairs with checking the surveillance. Let’s just call the police and have Thalassa taken away…” Charlotte laughingly said, although her voice lacked confidence.
Amelia also looked a bit panicked. “Yes, there are so many people here, waiting for the charity event to begin. Let’s not waste time checking surveillance.”
“No worries, we’re all waiting for the truth to be revealed. This is not a minor issue. Once we clear it up, everyone will know how much to donate, right?” Callum said, a genteel smile playing on his lips, speaking for the guests.
Ethan chimed in, “Yes, no matter how big or small the issue, it’s best for everyone to have clarity. This way, no one will be wrongfully accused.”
“Yes, yes…” The guests also agreed in chorus.
Charlotte looked panicked and turned to Amelia for help.
Amelia stepped forward, snatching the bracelet from Charlotte’s hand, scolding sharply, “Really, can’t you even take care of a bracelet? What can you do? Give me back the bracelet! You don’t deserve to wear the heirloom of the Sinclair family!”
Amelia feigned anger at Charlotte, trying to divert attention.
Charlotte understood Amelia’s intent, her lips pouting in pretend hurt. “Amelia, I’m sorry, I will take care of it from now on.”
This bracelet is a fake! It’s not the one I gave you!” Amelia turned the bracelet in her hand a couple of times, suddenly exclaiming In surprise.
“What?” Charlotte was taken aback.
Susan also looked at Amelia in surprise.
Lysander’s deep gaze turned to the bracelet.
Meanwhile, Thalassa stood up after her tender moment with the children. Holding two children with each hand, the little ones followed her obediently, clinging to her.
Hearing Amelia say that the bracelet was fake, Thalassa also looked at the bracelet in Amelia’s hand in surprise.
Sophia tilted her little head, her tender eyes fixed on Amelia, speaking in a sweet voice, “Isn’t the bracelet in your hand real? Why
you saying it’s fake?”
