Keeping her cool, Emily spoke, “Fine, if you’re really going to do this. Just when the cops show up, I’ll tell them exactly what’s going on–that you’re accusing me without proof. Plus, I’ll ensure they know why you’re doing it. This isn’t about a necklace, Hazel. It’s because you wanted me to check out the bid details for Fin’s company on behalf of the Burton Family, and I refused.” 

Hazel’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. “Emily, stop making things up! When did I ever ask you to spy on Mr. Dean’s bid details? I’d never engage in something shady, so why would I ask you to?” 

Emily smirked, her voice sharp. “Maybe you should ask yourself that. You’re standing here publicly accusing me of stealing because I wouldn’t follow your plan.” 

“Hazel, I believe the truth will come out in the end. You can try to pin this on me, but I’m not confessing to something I didn’t do. I’m heading back to class now. If you want to call the cops, go ahead. I’ll be right here when they arrive,” Emily added, her confidence clear. She felt no remorse because she had nothing to feel guilty about. 

Sure, she admired Hazel’s diamond necklace, but just because she thought it was nice didn’t mean she wanted to steal it. Her brother could easily buy one if she really wanted one. Stealing wasn’t in her nature. 

A person could be short on money, but their character was everything. Emily lived by that. 

With those final words, Emily turned and walked away, leaving Hazel seething. Hazel’s fists tightened as she noticed her classmates staring at her, doubt written all over their faces. Rage boiled inside her. I underestimated you, Emily! How dare you turn this around on me in front of everyone! she thought bitterly. 

Yet, Hazel wasn’t done. Alright, Emily, you want to call my bluff? Fine. Let’s see how confident you are when the cops show up and find you guilty. 

Realizing her classmates were still watching, Hazel shot them a furious look. “What are you all staring at? You really believe Emily over me? Do you even know who I am? I’m the daughter of the Burton Group! I don’t need to make up lies. You’ll see the truth when the cops arrive.” 

Hazel stormed off with those defensive words, her anger barely hiding her unease. The students went back to their classrooms as soon as Hazel and Emily left. 

Sitting in her seat with her headphones on, Samantha was lost in a book. When some students mentioned Finley’s name, she quickly pulled off her headphones and started

listening. 

“Do you think Emily’s telling the truth, or is Hazel?” one student asked. 

“I’m pretty sure Emily’s the honest one here,” another responded.
