The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Shouldn’t You Kneel and Kowtow to Me?

Laura Jennings’s face was livid. "I am the esteemed Mrs. Sloan. Why would I frame a little brat! And what is this about evidence? Stop making excuses in front of me!"

Estelle Lockwood smiled. "Evidence? You’ll have to ask Miss Noelle Lockwood about that."

Noelle Lockwood bit her lower lip. "Dr. Lockwood, I don’t know what you mean."

"Miss Noelle Lockwood says you gave this bracelet to Mrs. Sloan. Mia says this bracelet was originally hers. It’s very simple to prove who’s lying. Just show the proof of purchase. The one who can’t is the liar."

Estelle Lockwood asked with a ghost of a smile, "Noelle, where is the proof of purchase?"

Laura Jennings immediately turned her head. "Noelle, show her the proof of purchase!"

Seeing this, Noelle could only nod. "Please wait a moment, Auntie. I’ll look for it now."

As she spoke, she lowered her head to search through her phone, a flash of venomous resentment in her eyes. ’The one I bought was a fake to begin with. Where am I supposed to get a proof of purchase?!’

"Auntie, I think it’s been too long. I can’t find the payment record, and the receipt from back then is gone too."

Two minutes later, Noelle said helplessly, "However, many people were present when I gave the bracelet to Auntie. If you don’t believe me, Dr. Lockwood, you can go ask them."

Estelle Lockwood’s tone was heavy with meaning. "Is it that you can’t find the payment record, or is there no payment record at all? Let me rephrase: Miss Lockwood... was the one you gave Mrs. Sloan authentic?"

In an instant, all eyes turned to Noelle Lockwood.

Noelle Lockwood’s heart skipped a beat!

She quickly recovered, her eyes turning red as if she had suffered some great injustice.

"Dr. Lockwood, what are you implying? Auntie is Mrs. Sloan, and I am a daughter of the Lockwood family. With our status, how could we possibly buy a counterfeit?"

"Dr. Lockwood, I know you have it in for me. If you want to target me, I’ll take whatever you throw my way. But you shouldn’t slander Auntie."

Laura Jennings had been a little suspicious at first, but upon hearing Noelle’s words, she immediately stepped forward.

"Nathaniel, you heard her! This woman can make up any lie! There’s no need to discuss this further! You either kick Yara Lockwood out, or I’ll make this public and ruin that little bastard’s reputation!"

Nathaniel Sloan’s brow furrowed slightly as his gaze fell on Estelle Lockwood.

Mia pouted. "Ma’am, you have deep lines on your forehead, your complexion is sallow, and your features are sunken. I’d advise you to stop speaking so maliciously, or you’re bound to have some terrible luck soon."

Laura Jennings’s chest ached with anger. "You... you..."

Noelle had told her long ago that this mutt named Mia Lockwood was always spouting mystical nonsense. ’Putting on this whole mystic act in front of me... AHH!’

Before she could finish her sentence, Laura Jennings twisted her ankle and suddenly pitched forward, falling flat on her face with a THUD!

Mia spread her hands. "I told you not to create bad karma with your words."

"Dr. Lockwood, haven’t you done enough!" Noelle Lockwood helped Laura Jennings up, her eyes filled with tears as she spoke righteously.

"Auntie is an older woman. Do you really have to target an elder like this? Mia stole something, and Auntie was only trying to teach her a lesson, but you slandered and cursed her!"

"A child likes a shiny bracelet and makes a mistake in the moment. It’s not that we can’t forgive her. But you, Dr. Lockwood, are relentlessly hounding the victim. You’ve gone too far!"

"Victim?" Estelle Lockwood laughed. ’Noelle Lockwood really loves to play the victim.’

"The prerequisite for proving that you and Mrs. Sloan are the victims is that this bracelet is, in fact, yours."

Noelle looked helpless and wronged. "I already said, many people saw me give the bracelet to Auntie. This is Auntie’s bracelet..."

"Doesn’t Miss Lockwood know that Celestar Studio keeps a record of all its buyers’ information?"

Estelle Lockwood cut her off coolly, and the rest of Noelle’s words caught in her throat.

Panic slowly crept onto her face. ’Wait, what... what does she mean? What does she mean Celestar Studio has a record of the purchase?!’
