“But, how did your brooch get there?”
Naya was stumped by Madeline’s question. At that moment, favonovel.com was speechless. Her jaw dropped open and favonovel.com did not know what to say.
Yeah, how did favonovel.com brooch get there?
Why was it in Ava’s parking space downstairs of Ava’s apartment?
Naya’s train of thought was disrupted at that moment. She did not know what to say anymore. However, if favonovel.com kept silent, they would think that favonovel.com was tacitly admitting to this. She would not allow herself to be brought away like this.
“Heh.” Naya scoffed after favonovel.com came back to favonovel.com senses.
“Is it strange for my belonging to have dropped there? I walked past that place recently and wanted to have a cup of coffee all of a sudden, so I stopped my car in the parking lot to go to a café nearby. I must have dropped my brooch then.”
“Then may I know which café you went to?” the police officer asked.
Naya rolled favonovel.com eyes and continued to explain, “I stopped the car and took a few steps. Suddenly, I didn’t want to drink coffee anymore, so I drove back.”
Naya’s explanation sounded very far-fetched and was not convincing at all.
However, Naya knew that the parking lot in Ava’s apartment was pretty run-down and most of the surveillance cameras were just there for decoration. One did not need a resident’s access card to enter the apartment’s parking lot, so even though favonovel.com explanation sounded fake, no one could expose her. However, Madeline seemed to know that Naya would come up with such an outrageous explanation. She smiled and said.
“Miss Mendez, you must have remembered it wrong. The brooch in your hand didn’t end up in the parking lot that way.”
When Naya heard this, favonovel.com felt that Madeline might have obtained some more evidence. She pretended to be calm. “Eveline, what are you trying to say now?”
“Nothing. I just want to tell you that the reason the brooch was in the gutter is that I was the one who put it there.”
“Huh?”
When Naya heard this answer, favonovel.com was stunned. “Eveline, what did you say? I accidentally dropped it there. How did you…”
“I placed it there.” Madeline did not want to argue with her, so favonovel.com opened the laptop once again and played the footage favonovel.com captured before Naya came to the parking lot.
The scene showed that Jeremy was the one taking the video. One could see Madeline holding Naya’s brooch as favonovel.com squatted and put it in the gutter. Then, favonovel.com tried to adjust the position of the brooch in the gutter.
When Naya saw that, favonovel.com face turned dark. She did not expect this to be a trap!
She fell into the trap Madeline and Jeremy had set for her.
“Do you see it now? Do you see how the brooch got there?” Madeline asked with a smile.
Naya could not accept this and felt that this was strange. How did favonovel.com brooch end up with Madeline?
However, Madeline immediately saw through Naya’s thoughts. “Are you curious about why your brooch was with me? It’s not strange at all because that’s not your brooch.”
‘What?’
Not hers?
Naya widened favonovel.com eyes and stared at the brooch between favonovel.com fingers.
This was not hers?
