Chapter 1959
Everyone held their breaths and watched intently.
Caprice looked on, completely unfazed.
When the staff produced the final item inside the purse, a regular credit card, everyone shared a look of disappointment. It was in that decisive moment when she reached for another concealed pocket in the purse that Caprice never used to stash anything.
Her expression changed the moment her fingers were tucked into the pocket. She removed something from within and put her hands high in the air.
The surface of the pink diamond gleamed underneath the ceiling lights, reflecting its brilliant glow in every direction. It was the necklace along with the treasured gem.
Everyone grew wide-eyed, Caprice most of all. She stammered, "No way... How could it be inside my purse?!”
"Caprice..." Isabel turned to her.
Caprice spoke with a tinge of panic in her voice, "Isabel, it wasn't me! I did not steal it!"
Isabel assured her, "I know, I believe you."
It was just a pink diamond, Caprice had never been fond of gemstones ever since she was a child. Even if she happened to like it, she would not have stolen it.
Everyone nearby heard their exchange and snickered at their expense.
"The pink diamond is found inside your purse, and you still insist that you did not steal it. Do you expect us to believe you?"
"That's right. We've caught the thief red-handed. Let's have Mrs. Duwait call the police."
Heather stepped forward. She spoke to Caprice in a disappointed tone, " So, this is the kind of person you have been this entire time. How would President Carter feel? He cares so much about you. Did you ever consider his feelings when you crept your fingers toward the pink diamond?"
Caprice's eyes started to turn red as she shouted at the top of her voice, insisting adamantly, "I did not steal it!'
Heather dragged a long sigh.
Caprice almost wanted to hit her right then and there.
Fortunately, Isabel was a step ahead of her. She rushed towards Heather. ’ Heather, you set Caprice up!”
