Chapter 1962


    Isabel scanned the crowd with a frosty gaze before she told Sherry about the stolen pink diamond.


    Caprice was suspected to have stolen the pink diamond because they found the diamond in her purse.


    Sherry frowned.


    Caprice had almost a hundred of those diamonds in her closet, why would she steal someone else''s?


    Something was not right.


    "Daddy, Mommy, | didn''t steal it. | don’t know how the diamond ended up in my purse," Caprice snorted and exined.


    John and Caprice looked at her gently.


    Sherry said, "Caprice, we believe you."


    John hugged the girl tight and then looked at the crowd coldly.


    Those who called Caprice a thief immediately averted their eyes from John and looked down in guilt.


    Sherry scoffed coldly. "You people were loud when you called my daughter a thief. What''s with the silence now?"


    Then, hurried footsteps came.


    "Mr. and Mrs. Stockton, Mr. and Mrs. Carter, we''re sorry that you have to wait so long."


    The owner of the estate, Mr. and Mrs. Duwait, came over with ttering smiles.


    When they had a clear look at the situation, their smiles froze. "W-What''s going on here?"


    Sherry exined coldly, "Your staff used my daughter of stealing the pink diamond and they found it inside her purse."


    Mr. and Mrs. Duwait were both stunned. They first had a nce at Caprice crying in John''s arms before they switched their


    attention to the staff.


    Mrs. Duwait bellowed, "Why would Ms. Stockton steal? What''s going on here?"


    The leading female staff exined in a trembling voice, "I-I’m not sure either. | heard the rm and the next thing | know, the pink


    diamond was gone. Only Ms. Stockton was here and | found it inside her purse.”


    If she was alone here and the pink diamond was inside her purse, would it not make her a thief?


    Mr. and Mrs. Duwait exchanged a quick look and then said to Sherry, "Mrs. Stockton, if Ms. Stockton likes the pink diamond, |


    can give it to her."


    Both Sherry and John were offended.


    Odell, Sylvia, and Isabel also reacted with frosty expressions.


    Before anyone could say a word, Caprice cried, "I didn’t steal your diamond! | didn''t even touch it!"


    "Mrs. Duwait, it''s just a piece of diamond. Do you think my daughter would want it?” Sherry asked with a scoff.


    Mrs. Duwait''s expression froze. She turned to her husband for help.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Mr. Duwait exined, "Mr. and Mrs. Stockton, please calm down. I''m sure there''s a misunderstanding here."


    His eyes flickered as an idea rushed into his mind. He told the staff, "Bring me the surveince footage."


    The staff wore a troubled look and did not move at all.


    Mr. Duwait bellowed, "Why are all of you standing there?"


    “Beverly said the surveince cameras in the area are all down," said one of the staff.


    Mr. Duwait immediately looked at the leading staff. She was the one who arrived at the scene after the rm went off and was


    the one who found the diamond in Caprice''s purse.


    Mrs. Duwait and the other guests switched their attention to Beverly.


    Beverly lowered her head in guilt. Her body was shaking terribly.


    "Mr. Duwait, how timely it is for your surveince cameras to be faulty," John said with a scoff.


    Mr. Duwait lost his usual elegance. He disregarded Beverly and shouted at the other staff, "Go bring me the surveince footage


    from security!"


    The staff nodded and ran toward the security room.


    “Wait a minute. Cast it on the big screen when you get it," Mrs. Duwait added.
