Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Agreeing to the Search
Right after, Sara Wendleton mocked, “Did I say anything wrong? Everyone searched themselves, but she refused. If the ring is not found today, who is the most suspicious? We all know!”
The other daughters couldn’t help but nod their heads.
“Yeah, although Mrs. Mamet couldn’t have possibly stolen anything, everyone else has searched themselves, and only Mrs. Mamet didn’t. If others find out, they will surely suspect her!”
Xaviera chuckled coldly. This group of people claimed not to believe she would steal, but they insisted on searching her. Sure enough, they were the same type of people as Anna Campbell.
“Actually, you guys have a point...” Anna furrowed her brows in difficulty.
“Xaviera, why don’t you just agree to be searched? I believe you didn’t steal anything, but searching is also for proving your innocence to prevent others from suspecting you. What do you think...?”
Xaviera stared at Anna coldly, guessing she was trying to splash dirty water on her.
Seeing Xaviera not speaking, Anna bit her lip, “Xaviera, if you don’t want to, let’s just forget about it. They are my friends anyway, and they won’t say anything.”
“I agree.”
At this point, Caleb Mamet, who had been silent all along, glanced at his watch and suddenly spoke up.
“Even with so much money, she still steals other people’s rings. This is really a disgrace to Mr. Caleb Mamet!”
“Sara was right. Even though Xaviera has married such a handsome and wealthy man like Mr. Caleb Mamet, she still can’t change the habit of petty thievery and can’t control her hands.”
Sarcastic glances fell upon Xaviera as Anna’s voice trembled with disbelief, “Xaviera, how could you...?”
Anna’s soul trembled and her feet almost tripped. She stared at Xaviera unbelievingly.
“You, why... Impossible! You couldn’t have stolen anything! I remember now, my ring wasn’t lost, it must still be in my bag!”
Her weak explanation and panicked appearance only confirmed Xaviera’s guilt, telling everyone that she had found the lost ring in Xaviera’s bag.
“Xaviera, it was you who stole it, right!? You are already Miss Drew of the Campbell family, and yet you still committed such petty thievery. Are you even worthy of being a Campbell daughter!?”
Anna quickly stopped them, “Stop talking, Xaviera is my sister. Just forget about it and pretend you don’t know. I had forgotten, I asked Xaviera to keep the ring earlier, she didn’t steal it.”
“Mrs. Mamet, what else do you have to say? You stole someone’s ring and now you want Anna to cover it up for you?”
“How could the Campbell family adopt such a woman? She’s clearly stolen something, but still denies it. That’s too much!”
“No wonder Miss Campbell is a top noble lady. Being a Campbell daughter, she doesn’t hold grudges with her adopted sister, and even cares about her reputation, claiming she had given her the ring already. Shameless Xaviera!”
