Chapter 77 Kowtow to Me Then

Vanessa was puzzled, not understanding why the other party suddenly asked this question.

“Is there a problem?” she asked.

The police officer stood up and said, “Based on my investigation, there are only your footprints near your table, so besides yourself, no one else has touched your luggage.”

Vanessa was stunned for a few seconds and instinctively said, “How is that possible? There are no footprints. on the floor at all…

Halfway through her sentence, Vanessa’s eyes fell to the ground and suddenly stopped.

Yes, normally there would be no obvious footprints on the floor of the dormitory, but the current situation was different.

Since it was the last semester, they were all busy with internships and the dormitory had been left unoccupied for a long time. Therefore, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor.

The dust on the floor was similar in color to the floor, so it was not obvious, but even if it was not obvious, the footprints left behind were particularly clear.

The police officer looked at her and said again, “There are marks from the wheels of your luggage here, and here are your footprints. I don’t think you’ve opened your luggage.”

Vanessa gritted her teeth, not expecting to make such a mistake.

She had originally planned to leave the bag in the dormitory, claiming that the bracelet was lost from the bag. However, she had to bring the bag to the classroom, so she could only say that she had put the bracelet in the luggage. Otherwise, if she had left the bracelet there here by itself, it would have been too deliberate.

“Vanessa, could you please explain to me how Maggie managed to get something from your bag without even getting close to it?”

A somewhat arrogant and assertive female voice rang out from the crowd. Mia had hurried over upon hearing the news.

Vanessa was momentarily speechless, never expecting things to turn out this way.

“1…

“Vanessa, what’s going on here?” The teacher frowned and spoke up.

“I have no idea who would want to steal a counterfeit. Do you think Maggie is stupid?” Mia sneered, lazily. eyeing Vanessa up and down, the implication in her words clear.

The strong pieces of evidence were enough to clear Maggie of suspicion.

Now, Vanessa found it difficult to explain herself.

“Sorry… I must have remembered wrong. I must have placed the bracelet in the drawer… Vanessa tried to explain, but her explanation at this moment seemed far–fetched to others.

“If you have wrongly accused Maggie, you should apologize to her and this matter will be over. The dean- spoke in a deep voice, probably also guessing that something fishy was behind this.

Whether it was Maggie or Vanessa, they were both promising students at the academy, so he did not want this matter to become too unsightly.

Maggie saniled upon hearing that and looked at Vanessa with hidden resentment in her expression.

Vanessa’s throat tightened, but under scrutiny, she could only barely maintain her composure and pretended to apologize, I’m sorry, Maggie. I’ve misunderstood you. I really don’t know how the bracelet ended up in your bag.”

“Apologize if you must, but spare us the unnecessary chatter, Mia impatiently interjected. There was a indescribable air of arrogance between her striking eyebrows that made it impossible to look away.

“I–I’m sorry, Maggie. Can you please forgive me?” Vanessa tightly gripped her fingers, her eyes reddening. She never expected her scheming to backfire.

Maggie smiled faintly and said in a calm voice, “You know how the bracelet ended up in my bag, Miss Brown. I’ve accepted your apology, and I only hope that you can turn over a new leaf and start afresh.”

Vanessa’s face alternated between pale and flushed at Maggie’s blunt words.

She had never anticipated the current situation, so she was momentarily speechless, unable to respond.

The leaders and police present had likely formed their own judgments about the situation.

However, back then, their relationship was different, so her methods were naturally different as well.

Her arrogance eyes.

Maggie’s almond eyes were cold and distant. She had to admit that Vanessa was much more cautious than Sierra. They were both equally two–faced, but Vanessa was indeed a real academic achiever.

Vanessa gritted her teeth. She could not understand why Maggie, who was always easy to deal with, had become like this.
