Chapter 1958
A wave of silence washed through the crowd.
Even the staff who initially accused Caprice was speechless.
"Isabel, I know you’re trying to protect Caprice, but this is not the right time or place," Heather remarked with a faint smile, "Everyone here is a public figure who commands a great deal of respect. There won't be any common thieves among us."
Someone in the crowd chimed in, "That’s right. We are people of stature. No matter how much we admire the pink diamond, we would never stoop down to something as low as stealing. She was the only one at the scene, so she must have stolen it.”
"You’re just a common actor. Why don't you mind your own business? If you want to help her, then tell her to hand over the pink diamond peacefully."
Isabel ignored all of them and turned to the staff. "There should be surveillance cameras. Pull out the footage."
This immediately silenced the crowd, and they began glancing at the staff.
Caprice's eyes shone.
That's right! How could she forget about the surveillance cameras?
A lady, who seemed to be the leader of the venue team, spoke up," Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras in this area happened to malfunction today."
"Strange coincidence, isn't it? Someone must have tampered with them." Upon hearing the passing remark from someone in the crowd, everyone began casting their suspicions at Caprice again.
Isabel stepped in front of Caprice protectively. "She couldn't possibly have known that the surveillance cameras are down. I brought her here on short notice."
Heather expressed tiredly, "Isabel, stop trying to defend her already. Hurry up and hand over the pink diamond before Mrs. Duwait finds out about this."
"Heather, I'll slap your head off if you don't shut up!" Isabel threatened her.
Heather scowled as a burst of anger swelled up inside her. Suddenly, an idea came to her, and she asked in a nonchalant voice, "Isabel, you're not in cahoots with her, are you?”
"She sure is yapping a lot for a common actor. They definitely planned this together and are scrambling for a way out now that they’ve been caught."
People threw snide remarks at them.
