Chapter 2284
She remembered that when she bought this brooch, it was a limited edition and there were not many socialites or rich women in the upper class who owned it. Plus, there was a custom engraving at the back. How could it not be hers? As she was thinking to herself, Naya suddenly turned the brooch to look at the engraving. To her surprise, the initials engraved on the back were actually Mrs. Graham’s name.
Naya was stunned.
This brooch was actually the fake she gave to Daniel's mother.
Daniel's mother also reacted when she looked at the brooch. “I have this brooch too. It looks like the one you gave me back then.”
“That's right, Mrs. Graham. This brooch is the fake Naya gave you back then. I asked for it from my appraiser friend.”
Madeline explained with a smile, her sharp eyes falling on Naya's bewildered face.
“Miss Mendez, it’s probably because you had a guilty conscience at the time, so you didn't notice that this brooch is actually the fake you gave to Mrs. Graham. You didn't even bother to look at the engraving on the back of the brooch when you saw it. When the brooch showed up in the parking lot, you only had one thought. And that was to take away the incriminating evidence you thought you left behind at the scene.”
As Naya was faced with Madeline's sharp and domineering accusations, Naya pursed her lips tightly. She did not know how to explain this.
She knew that she had fallen into a trap. Madeline might have prepared an impeccable countermeasure no matter what she said now. If this went on, her crimes would be confirmed. After thinking quickly for a few seconds, Naya pretended to be calm and laughed.
She avoided Madeline's sharp gaze and looked at the two police officers.
“Officers, I’m willing to cooperate with you to assist in the investigation, but what I want to emphasize is that what Eveline said just now is just her self-righteous speculation. I will not accept these accusations against me. I want to see my lawyer and sue Eveline for slander.”
