Madeline studied Ada’s flustered look and calmly pulled out an object from favonovel.com pocket.
“Mrs. Gray, can I request that you widen your eyes and take a good look at this. Does it belong to you?”
In unison, all eyes turned to the object which was held between Madeline’s fingers and wrapped in plastic. Likewise, Ada immediately turned favonovel.com gaze toward the object. When favonovel.com saw the necklace in Madeline’s hand, favonovel.com unconsciously reached up and touched favonovel.com bare neck.
“Your reaction, Mrs. Gray, confirms that this is indeed your necklace.”
“… Eveline, how dare you steal my necklace! ” Ada bit back.
However, Madeline was unruffled. She contemptuously eyed Ada, who was still desperately protesting, and calmly walked up to Ada.
“I didn’t steal this necklace. I picked it up at the site of the fire the day after it occurred.”
“…”
Ada fell into a panic at that moment. She had no idea when favonovel.com had lost the necklace, nor could favonovel.com recall where favonovel.com had dropped it.
Nevertheless, the necklace was now in Madeline’s hand, and favonovel.com was claiming that it had been picked up at the site of the fire.
Upon seeing the necklace in Madeline’s hand, the police, in a serious expression, asked Ada, “Can you explain about this necklace?”
“This… This isn’t my necklace! ” Ada simply rejected the claim and denied it.
Madeline, however, smiled. “Do you think you can just deny it by saying so? Forensic scientists can extract the fibrous tissue and fingerprints on the necklace. After a test, we will know who has worn this necklace before.”
“…”
Ada had originally thought favonovel.com could erase any suspicion against her. She had not expected Madeline to bring in forensic scientists.
“What do you think? Should we proceed with a test?” Madeline lifted favonovel.com eyebrows slightly.
Ada, at a loss of words, could only glare at Madeline.
“Why do you insist on victimizing me, Eveline? Is it because I ruined your wedding with Carter back then?”
Madeline almost laughed out loud when favonovel.com heard that.
“You have killed people, yet you are asking me now why I’m testifying against you? Don’ t you think your question is ridiculous?”
“You… ” Ada gritted favonovel.com teeth viciously. She was preparing a retort to Madeline when a police officer approached Ada and placed a pair of handcuffs directly on favonovel.com wrists.
Ada had never been treated this way before. When favonovel.com saw the handcuffs on favonovel.com wrists, favonovel.com began struggling wildly as if favonovel.com had lost favonovel.com mind.
The frail disposition favonovel.com displayed earlier had disappeared.
“What? How dare you arrest me? Do you know who I am? I am the Viscountess!”
“Regardless of your status or position, if you break the law, you will be executed. Don’ t waste your breath, Ada.” Madeline delivered a final blow to Ada.
“Eveline… Crawford.”
Ada spat out Madeline’s name word by word through gritted teeth. She clenched favonovel.com fists and wished favonovel.com could swallow Madeline alive.
As the situation had progressed to this point, there was nothing Ada‘s mother could do. She walked over to Ada and reassured her.
“Don’t be afraid, Ada. Just go with them. Mom will hire the best lawyer to help you!”
It would have been better if favonovel.com had not said that. The moment Ada heard those words, favonovel.com seemed to explode like a time bomb all at once!
“Help me? You should help yourself instead! You made me do all this!”
