Chapter 47
Belinda showed a hint of sympathy, “Hey, don’t panic, let’s help you look for II”
Ellinor squinted seeming to have foreseen what was about to happen.
Byran also started to help search then Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at Ellinor with suspicious eyes and questioned, “Oil Weren’t you the one who brought back Haillie’s coat?”
Ellinor nodded. “Yes, I did Got a problem with that?”
Byran’s eyes showed a hint of contempt. “Then why didn’t you return Haillie’s wristwatch to her?”
Ellinor remained calm, “I didn’t take it, so what am I supposed to return?”
Byran suddenly grabbed Ellinor’s arm, as if afraid she would run away, “From the beginning to end, you were the only one who touched Haillie’s coat. If you didn’t take it, then who did?”
Ellinor remained calm, “When going to the restroom, she asked me to hold it for her; I just did her a favor”
Byran scoffed. “Then, you took the opportunity to rob someone’s pocket!”
Ellinor remained calm, “I didn’t.”
Clearly, Byran didn’t believe her, he threatened, “Your words don’t count! If you didn’t take it, dare to let us search you?”
Belinda pushed Byran away unhappily. “Have you lost your mind! How could my aunt steal a watch! My uncle would buy it if she really likes it!”
Byran scorned with a sneer, “Then she should agree to the search! To prove her innocence!”
“No search, why should we let you search! Searching in public is an insult!” Belinda stood firmly before Ellinor, determined not to
Yesterday at the bar, her aunt risked herself to save her, today, she would protect her aunt no matter what!
Feeling that Belinda was in the way, Byran tried to pull her aside. In the scuffle, Ellinor had been pushed back a step…
With a thump, something fell onto the ground
Het him approach.
Byran let go of Belinda and picked up the thing that fell next to Ellinor, his eyes wide open, “What’s this? Do you still dare to say you didn’t take it? You look so innocent, but you’re actually a thief! You don’t deserve to marry Theol
Haillie looked at Ellinor with disbelief, “Ellinor, did you take it?”
Ellinor didn’t know where the watch fell, she furrowed her brows.
She looked at Haillie and gently curled her lips, “Whether I took this watch myself or you deliberately put it on me, Haillie, you should know better than me, right?”
Haillie feigned innocence, “Ellinor, what are you talking about? Why would I do such a thing?”
Byran couldn’t help but interject, “Enough is enough! The watch clearly fell from you, you not only deny it but even dare to slander Haillie!”
The BBQ shop crowd had gathered around to watch the show, all eyes were on Ellinor, and whispers filled the room….
“Aren’t they at the same table? Why would she steal from a friend?”
“That girl doesnt seem like the type!”
“Hah, in this world, you can’t just judge by appearances!”
“What’s going on?” A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Theo’s presence made the atmosphere instantly drop.
This man’s aura was too strong, the crowd naturally parted to make way for him.
Belinda quickly ran to Theo and said. “Uncle, you’re finally back! Byran keeps saying my aunt Ellinor stole Haillie’s watch, he even wanted to search her!”
Byran wasn’t afraid, he held up the evidence and said: “Theo, bro, I’m not slandering her! Haillie’s watch fell from Ellinor, everyone here saw it!”
Theo looked down at the watch, then looked at Ellinor. His expression was inscrutable; he asked sincerely: “Did you steal this?”
