Chapter 153
Chapter 153:
The lighting staff looked at Rupert with questioning eyes. Rupert nodded with a frosty expression and said in a deep voice, “Do as Annabel says p>
The lighting staff saw that Rupert agreed and immediately understood what he was meant to do. He moved to the switch and turned on the light.
A beam of blue light illuminated the diamond buttons on Annie’s back, which began to flicker white.
After a few moments, the beam turned red, and the diamonds began to look like flames sparking across Annie’s back.
“They really can change colors!” Everyone was amazed by the sight.
Annabel smiled at the crowd’s reaction. “As you can see, the diamond buttons are painted with a special material that creates a brilliant change of color in response to the light. Now please turn the light and your attention to Annie’s hand p>
Annabel gripped Annie’s hands tightly to prevent her from moving while the lighting staff redirected the beam.
Annie’s mind went blank and her hands began to tremble.
Annabel had spoken the truth. There really was a special material on the diamond buttons that responded to changes in the lighting.
What should she do now?
Annie struggled hard, but Annabel’s grip was firm.
Once the beam was on Annie’s hand, the lighting staff changed its color to a cold blue. Annie’s palm began emitting a white glow.
The sight took the crowd by surprise.
Annabel explained, “What you are seeing is proof that Annie clutched the missing diamond in her palm. She then flushed it down the toilet. The special material stained her hand without her knowing p>
Annabel signaled for the beam to change to red, and the light that Annie’s hand was emitting also changed, just like magic.
The crowd gasped.
Annabel maintained a firm grip on Annie’s trembling arm as she let the room have a better look. “We can all clearly see that Annie’s palm reacts to the lighting in the exact same way as the diamond buttons. There is no doubt that she removed the button from her dress intentionally. Her hands are stained with the proof. I believe you all know the truth now p>
The crowd voiced their agreement.
“I never would have thought Annie was responsible p>
“Why did she do it p>
“Who knows? She has reaped as she has sown p>
Annie’s face turned pale as she listened to the crowd talk.
Annabel had no sympathy for her. “The evidence is irrefutable. Do you have anything to say p>
“No, it’s impossible. It’s not true,” Annie said in a trembling voice.
