Chapter 971


    “Oh, so you were wearing flip–flops that day.”


    Chloe looked at Nicole‘s expression, feeling as if she had been tricked.


    “You‘re right. It really wasn‘t you who covered your face; it was you who was on the phone at the pir.”

    Everyone followed Nicole‘s lead and looked at the person next to the pir in the footage. Even with the


    sunsses on, they could easily identify Chloe, given their familiarity with her.


    “Chloe, were you really on the phone there?” Miley, who loved her the most, spoke up to guide her.


    “Yeah, I was on the phone there talking to my manager.” Chloe lied as she picked up Miley‘s signal.


    “It‘s okay if you don‘t admit it. Let‘s keep watching.” Nicole looked over at the family butler.


    The video continued. For days on end, Chloe had been on the phone at the pir, and then it was her


    pretending as if she ran into Nicole by chance and asking her to deliver the diamond.


    “That is all the video for now. I‘m sure you all have questions in your mind after watching it. Now I will


    break it down with you all. There are now two suspects: me and


    Chloe. So we can narrow the search. The person who swapped the diamond was either me or Chloe


    and no one else.” Nicole swept her eyes over at everyone, looking for confirmation, and they had all no


    objection to her analysis. “Let‘s talk about me first. What is my motive? Why would I swap something I


    knew was for Grandpa?”


    “You must have gotten greedy with the diamond and swapped it to keep for yourself.” Snow looked at


    her and put forward her analysis.


    “If we go by your analysis , am I not shooting myself in the foot? I was the one who sent it to Grandpa,


    and I swapped the diamond. If it were you, would you be so stupid as to think that Grandpa couldn‘t


    tell? So that reason doesn‘t hold water; I had no motive to swap the diamond.”


    Snow could not find a word to respond.


    “If I didn‘t swap the diamond, at what point was the diamond swapped?”


    “It must have been before I got the diamond. So here‘s the question: I think Chloe had the diamond


    before I got it, hadn‘t she?” Nicole looked at Chloe, and all eyes followed.


    “Why are you all looking at me? I haven‘t seen any diamonds. Why would I take a diamond that was


    given to Grandpa?” Chloe said. “Nicole, after all that talk, the problem is with me, right?”


    “That‘s right.”


    “Well, since you say the problem is with me, show me proof, or don‘t get me to take the me for you.”


    Chloe looked expressionlessly at Nicole with her arms folded in front of her chest.


    “I knew you‘d say that.” Nicole took out her phone and called up a picture.


    “Check it out.” Nicole ced her phone on the table for everyone to view.


    Miley was the first to pick it up and check it out. “What does a picture of a diamond say? You can take


    as many pictures as you want with the diamond in your hand.”


    Damien took it and looked at it, too, but not seeing anything. But when Chloe saw it, her pupils


    contracted, as that was none other than her handbag in the picture. Everyone only noticed the diamond


    and ignored the handbag, but Chloe recognized it at first nce.
