"See? Not only has the sapphire fallen, but there are also several missing diamonds and bent parts."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
While Lucy pointed out the flaws, Matthew and the others quickly understood what she was getting at. However, Arthur and Juliana were still puzzled.
"We see these things, but what's the problem? What are you trying to say? Don't waste everyone's time!"
Charlotte looked at Lucy with annoyance, thinking that Lucy was just beating about the bush to stall her demise.
"Why are you in a rush? My point is that if I had damaged the crown here, there should be traces of the missing diamonds in the box or on the floor. But there aren't any.
"You guys can get people to search every corner of the dining hall to see if there are any traces of the missing diamonds."
Lucy simply smiled at Charlotte.
She had noticed earlier that when she took the crown out of the box, only the sapphire had fallen. There were no diamonds in the box either. Charlotte's mind was buzzing. Damn it, how could she have missed this?
"This proves that the crown was already damaged when it was delivered here. Perhaps the missing diamonds are still at the initial location where the crown was damaged.
"Yet, Charlotte insists she saw me damage the crown with her own eyes. I wonder why?"
Lucy did not need to continue. To verify her claims, Juliana ordered the maids to search the dining hall thoroughly, leaving no corner unchecked. Indeed, there was not a single missing diamond, which meant that Lucy was telling the truth.
Arthur and Juliana felt deeply guilty for wrongly blaming Lucy.
"Charlotte, why did you frame your sister? What are you trying to do?" Arthur angrily stared at Charlotte.
His remorse for falsely accusing Lucy, coupled with his anger toward Charlotte's actions, made him eager to uncover the truth.
Charlotte did not expect the situation to turn out like this. She felt nervous all of a sudden, and beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.
Damn it! She did not expect Lucy to find a way to clear her name. She thought that if she kept a close watch on her, Lucy would not have the chance to turn the tables.
Now that the situation was completely reversed, she needed to find a way to save herself.
After some deliberation, Charlotte
gritted her teeth and cried out, "I don't know. When I came in and saw my sister holding the sapphire, I naturally assumed that she had damaged the crown. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"The crown was so important that it made me so angry and anxious that I wanted to inform you as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you, Lucy. Please forgive me."
At that point, she still tried to twist the truth, naively thinking that Lucy would cooperate with her. It was truly laughable.
Lucy dodged Charlotte as she tried
to grab her hand and said coldly, "Sorry? That's not how you sounded earlier. Besides, you should know better than anyone whether the crown was damaged or not. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Dad, Mom, the crown must have been tampered with on purpose, which means that the culprit must have left behind fingerprints. Bring someone to identify them and we'll know who damaged it." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Lucy looked at Arthur and Juliana, who nodded solemnly.
They had already wronged Velda once, so it was even more crucial for them to uncover the truth now.
