Chapter 162
Janet was just about in inquire carefully when someone suddenly pushed her aside and asked concernedly, “Mabel, what did you loser” Realizing that it was Melody. Mabel looked up and met Melody’s cold, deep gare.
Melody’s gaze sent chills down Mabel’s spine but the coldness disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by an
in expression full of c
Mabel wondered if she saw it wrongly, but before she could take a closer look, Melody grabbed her hand and began earnestly helping her search. “What are you doing?” Mabel subconsciously frowned
Melody let go of Mabel’s hand and said innocently. “You lost something, so I’m helping you look for it. Brooches are so small that they can easily fall off, maybe it fell somewhere on your clothes
knowing that brooches didn’t fall off that easily. Mabel smirked coldly inside as she foresaw that Melody would be known as a thief soon.
After Mabel gave Yolanda a look, Yolanda immediately stepped forward to pull Melody aside, while Yolanda’s hand inadvertently knocked against Melody’s head, causing Melody’s beret to fall to the ground
Yolanda was filled with excitement while she quickly apologized before bending down to picki up Melody’s hat, adding, “Melody, I was afraid you might tear Mabel’s clothes, I’m sorry.”
Mabel also looked at
at the hat with anticipation because although the hat itself seemed usual, its lining was printed with dog patterns.
Janet had warned Mabel not to have anything related to dogs at this event because Fairlee’s mother had died of rabies after being bitten by a dog.
Now, as long as they turned the hat inside out to reveal the dog patterns, Melody would be finished because wearing a hat with dog patterns to Fairlee’s fortieth birthday celebration would be seen as a blatant provocation, and everyone would think Melody was an ignorant and malicious country bumpkin.
After apologizing for knocking off the hat, Yolanda picked the hat up and naturally turned inside out, handing it back to Melody with the lining facing up
She didn’t look at Melody or the hat but instead stared directly at Fairlee, believing that Fairlee would explode in anger soon
However, a few seconds passed, and Fairlee’s expression remained unchanged
Yolanda thought. How could this be? Jin’t Fairlee supposed to erupt in anger upon seeing the hat
Yolanda’s mind went blank for a moment, then she quickly looked at the hat, realizing the original dog pattern lining had somehow changed to a cat partern.
Upon recalling their visit to Wilmor’s shop for styling, Yolanda instantly
ly understood the situation and inwardly scolded Wilmot, determined to
teach him a lesson after this.
While Yolanda seeshed with anger, Mabel openly expressed her disbelief, exclaiming. “How is this possible?“
Melody put her hat back on and asked Mabel with a faint smile, “Mabel, what do you mean by how is this possible?”
With their plan failed, Mabel was both shocked and furious as she blurted out, “Your hat isn’t..
Yolanda quickly tagged on Mabel’s sleeve and said, “Mabel, now is not the time to worry about whether Melody’s hat is an straight, let’s find the brooch Miss Murphy gave you first”
Yolanda smiled gently, and with just one sentence, she explained Mabel’s lapse due to her concern for Melody’s hat.
The crowd couldn’t help but look approvingly at Mabel, feeling that she was a girl with good character as she was still sa concerned about Melody’s appearance even when she had lost something
Reminded by Yolanda, Mabel quickly regained her composure and masked all her emotions, comforting herself inwardly, ‘It’s fine, the hat trick failed, but there’s still the brooch. Thank goodness that Mom is smart enough to set up multiple traps:
Thinking this, Mabel pretended to help Melody adjust her hat and then looked at Melody’s chest, feeling fortunate that the brooch was still the same one she had pinneil earlier.
Mabel heaved a sigh of relief as she thought, It’s just a coincidence earlier, Melody is so stupid, so how will she figure out our plant
The next second, Mabe pretended to be surprised and pointed to Melody’s chest. “Melody, why is my brooch on you?”
