Chapter 643
Lemira looked at Susanna, her expression calm and unruffled. “You’re saying I stole your bracelet? Do you have any proof p>
“What proof do I need? I just went to the food section, and when I came back, my antique bracelet was gone from my wrist. You two were the only outsiders there. If you didn’t take it, who did p>
Susanna spoke with such conviction, all but branding Lemira a thief.
Stella was the first to snap. “Susanna, are you out of your mind? I was at the food section too. Does that make me a thief p>
Susanna scoffed. “Of course you’re not a thief. You don’t need to steal things like that. But some people are different. Country bumpkins who’ve never seen anything nice p>
Stella’s face flushed with anger. “Susanna, if you say one more ridiculous thing, you can leave my birthday party. You’re not welcome here p>
“Stella, don’t be rash p>
Mrs. Waverly finally stepped forward and glanced at Stella. “Ms. Susanna Sinclair is our guest. How can you talk about kicking someone out? You’re being so childish p>
Stella’s eyes welled up with frustrated tears. “But Lemira and Oanice are my friends, whom I personally invited. Susanna just accused them of being thieves in front of everyone. Isn’t that going too far p>
Did anyone here not know what Susanna was like?
“Stella, you can’t blame Ms. Susanna Sinclair for being suspicious. It is quite a coincidence. She just wanted to ask Ms. Lemira if she happened to see an antique emerald bracelet p>
Mrs. Waverly looked at Lemira, but her eyes held a clear look of disdain.
Lemira knew from the start that Mrs. Waverly looked down on her. So, would Mrs. Waverly really be happy with Asher marrying into the family?
Something was definitely off.
Lemira gave Mrs. Waverly a faint, mocking smile. “Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll answer your question: I haven’t seen any bracelet p>
After she spoke, Mrs. Waverly’s expression clearly soured. She was obviously not satisfied with that answer.
But what could she do? Did they expect her to confess to a crime she didn’t commit?
The smile in Mrs. Waverly’s eyes didn’t reach them as she turned to Susanna. “Ms. Langston said she didnt see your bracelet. Why don’t you look for it somewhere else.
Mrs. Waverly was happy to see
Susanna Cause trouble for Lemira
In the end it would be the Sinclair family who faced the consequences, not the Waverlys. fo
But Susanna just snorted. “She must have it. I just checked the security footage. It’s in her purse p>
Lemira glanced at her clutch. The zipper was open.
She had casually placed it aside while getting food earlier. The only thing inside was
her phone; there was nothing valuable.
She looked back up, a cold smirk playing on her lips. “Since you’ve seen the footage, let’s play it for everyone to see p>
Susanna looked a little flustered. “I’ve already seen it, and so have the other Langstons p>
Evelina had been trying to hide in the background, but Susanna had just called her out.
Forcing herself to step forward, Evelina said, “Lemmy, why don’t you just let everyone check your clutch? That would clear your name, wouldn’t it p>
Lemira stared at Evelina and Susanna. “So this was your plan all along p>
They had surrounded her with their friends, full of aggression.
Susanna said smugly, “Lemira, if you don’t dare let us check your purse, that just proves you’re guilty p>
This time, she would ruin Lemira’s reputation completely, ensuring she could never compete with her sister for Orion’s affection again.
After all, what prominent family would want a thief for a daughter-in-law?
Lemira glanced at her clutch. “Fine, you can check it. But if it turns out have nothing to do with this, will M Susanna Sinclair publicly apologize to me p>
“Why would I need to apologize to you? The bracelet is definitely in your bag p>
Susanna’s tone was utterly certain.
