In his mind, Elodie might be stupid enough to push Amelia down the stairs out of jealousy. But he had never once thought of her as a thief. Every maid in the Rowe Villa had been carefully

screened.

“Ethan, don’t you get it yet?” Hannah walked over to him with absolute confidence. Tears filled her eyes at just the right moment. She looked hurt, but not overdramatic.

“She already pushed Amelia down the stairs before. If she’s not afraid of hurting someone, what wouldn’t she do for money?”

As she spoke, she watched his face closely. When she saw him hesitate, she pressed harder, making her theory sound even more reasonable. “She’s always been in charge of cleaning. She knows Amelia’s dressing room better than anyone. Jealous, short on money, taking one or two bags she thinks Amelia never uses, and selling them… Honestly, that’s completely normal.”

Ian clearly had no interest in their family drama.

He took back the tablet and gave a polite, professional smile. “We’re very sorry to hear that a theft occurred in your home.”

“However, Mr. Rowe, please rest assured. All remaining items have now been fitted with special micro anti–theft chips. If anything leaves the villa without authorization, both our system and your phone will receive an alert immediately.”

With that, he said nothing more. He turned and left with his team, efficient and detached.

Ethan stood there, his face dark.

A thief had appeared in his own home. And worse, outsiders had come in and handled it with cold professionalism. It was humiliating.

The anger he’d been holding back finally exploded. He spun around and shouted toward the staircase, “Hurry up! Wake up every maid in this house! Search room by room! Check all their belongings! I want to see what else is missing!”

Miles flinched, answered “Yes, sir!” in a panic, and rushed downstairs.

Seeing Ethan’s furious profile, Hannah shrank back instinctively and quietly slipped away.

Back in her room, fear flooded her chest. Thank God Amelia’s people came early. They’d only discovered the missing bag.

If they’d come one day later… If she had already shown up at the gala wearing Amelia’s couture, dripping in her one–of–a–kind jewelry, and been caught on the spot…

She wouldn’t be framing anyone. She would be a confirmed thief.

She wouldn’t just lose her chance to be Ethan’s date. She would be ruined. Shunned by the entire elite circle.

Amelia… she had planned everything perfectly.

Still, that bag…

Hannah frowned.

To win over an important judge for the design competition, she had already given that pink limited–edition bag away as a gift.

What if … what if this was traced back to her in the end? Would it affect how that judge saw her?

Could it even ruin her score in the competition?

The more she thought about those unknown risks, the tighter Hannah’s chest felt.

What she didn’t know was that the lie she threw out to protect herself had already caused a storm downstairs in the maids‘ quarters.

Ethan’s order was carried out exactly as given.

Every maid was called back. On duty or on leave, it didn’t matter.

One room after another was opened. Suitcases were dumped out. Personal items were searched through without care. It looked less like a household check and more like a police raid.

Jenny, who had worked in the kitchen for years, stood there watching security guards roughly dig through the girls‘ few belongings.

She had always been close to Elodie. That girl wasn’t clever, but she wasn’t bad either. She was absolutely not someone who would steal.

Now, because of one careless sentence from Hannah, everyone was treated like a criminal. Their dignity crushed underfoot.

Anger burned in Jenny’s chest.

After the inspection ended, she made an excuse about buying groceries. Then she took a bus instead to the detention center where Elodie was being held.

Separated by cold glass, she saw Elodie in a prison uniform, her face pale and worn.

“Elodie,” Jenny said into the phone, her heart heavy, “did you take Ms. Harlow’s bag?”

Elodie jerked her head up. Her eyes went wide, filled with fear and shock. “No! Jenny, I pushed her, yes–but I never took anything that wasn’t mine!

“Who said that? Who said I stole her bag?!” she cried, nearly standing up. The handcuffs rattled loudly.

Seeing her reaction, Jenny believed her almost at once.

She let out a slow breath. “It was Ms. Gray.”

The moment that name was spoken, every bit of expression drained from Elodie’s face.

It was like all the strength left her body. She slowly sat back down, lowered her head, and let her long hair fall over her face. She didn’t say a single word.

Only silence. Heavy. Hopeless.
