He pointed at Rafael. “He clearly bumped into me. How could my storage button not be on him?”

“Just because he bumped into you, does that mean he stole your stuff?” Aria glanced at Rafael before turning to Lange, and her voice was cold. “Maybe he simply wasn’t paying attention and accidentally bumped into you. The evidence is right here. They searched Rafael, and your spatial button wasn’t on him, What else do you have to say?”

Lange was instantly at a loss for words.

Hearing Aria stand up for him, Rafael gave her a grateful look before speaking.

“Mr. Riller.” His voice was as light as a feather. “I already did what you asked and had Consul Hamblin arrange for someone to search me. He couldn’t possibly be covering for me, could he? Or are you saying you don’t trust Consul Hamblin?”

“I don’t. I mean, I wasn’t. That’s not what I meant. Don’t twist my words.” Lange hurriedly denied all three.

“So, you believe I’m innocent now?” Rafael pressed.

Lange was speechless.

Rafael had backed him into a corner with just a few simple questions.

Lange’s cheeks flushed bright red. He struggled for a long moment, but he couldn’t come up with a single word to argue back.

He was completely out of options, so he could only turn to Silas, who was sitting beside Emma, with a desperate look in his eyes. “Consul Hamblin, you… you know me. I would never joke about something like this. My storage button must have been…”

Before Lange could finish, Rafael gently cut him off. “Stolen by me?”

His voice remained soft, but his words were like a fine needle, striking exactly where it hurt.

Rafael lowered his head slightly. His long lashes cast a small shadow over his pale skin, hiding the brief flicker of calculation in his

eyes.

“The people from the Executive Department already searched me thorough And the result is right here.” He glanced at the battered storage band on the table and gave a self-deprecating smile.

There was just the right hint of grievance in his voice. “Other than this beat-up storage band that! can’t even afford to buy nutrient fluid with, I have nothing on me. Given that, do you still insist that I stole your things?”

Lange’s chest heaved as he was backed into a corner, and he was just about to argue, but Rafael did not give him a chance to speak.

He continued, “Are you saying… you don’t trust the people who searched me, and you don’t even trust Consul Hamblin to be fair?”

“I didn’t say that. Don’t put words in my mouth.”

How could I possibly doubt Silas? This has to be a death wish. No matter how hot-tempered I am, I wouldn’t dare joke about something like this.

Seeing Lange sitting there, completely thrown off and visibly flustered, Rafael had no intention of letting him off the hook, so he slowly turned around and fixed his gaze on Emma.

After being searched, Rafael’s clothes had been left slightly disheveled, the collar hanging open just enough to reveal a sliver of his fair, slender collarbone.

Under the light, he looked almost painfully fragile.

He looked at Emma, the vivid red beauty mark at the corner of his eye looking almost like a drop of blood against his otherwise flawless complexion.

“Ms. Emma Tibarn,” Rafael called softly, his eyes carrying an almost pleading innocence. “You and Ms. Aria Veynar were there the entire time. Could you clear my name?”

He paused for a moment.

His voice trembled slightly, carrying the broken, helpless edge of someone who had been pushed to the brink. “Do you really think someone like me could steal something from Mr. Riller, let alone have the nerve to do it with everyone watching?”

The moment Rafael turned to Emma for help, Gaellard, who had been sitting nearby in silence the entire time, raised an eyebrow at Andre. Without making a sound, he mouthed, “See that? He’s starting to show his true colors.”

After all, one male could always spot another male’s intentions.

The moment Gaellard laid eyes on Rafael, he knew this guy’s target had never been Aria. It was Emma.

Andre said nothing and simply lifted his eyes toward Emma.

She sat beside Silas. After hearing Rafael’s words, she did not answer right away.

When Rafael met her gaze, he looked even more pitiful. If Emma speaks up for me right now, I know I can get her to add me to her lightcore. Then I’ll slowly work my way into her life and become her one and only mate.

He looked at her, his heart filled with anticipation.

Emma merely gave him a calm look and said nothing. Instead, she turned toward Aria, who was sitting on the other couch. “Aria, what do you think?”

After all, Rafael is the male Aria picked out, so I don’t really have much to say. But there definitely seems to be something off about

him.

I need to give her a heads-up later.

When Rafael realized Emma had not spoken up for him and had instead turned to Aria, he froze for a moment. How could she do this to me? I’m already doing everything I can to look pathetic here. And she still doesn’t say a single word to me?
