Chapter 18
Natalie took a few seconds to think, her expression betraying no sign of panic, as she stared straight at Gracia and asked softly. “You said you polished the bracelet just last night before you went to sleep?”
“Yes.” Gracia sniffled, responding with a tone of injury.
Natalie couldn’t help but derisively chuckle, waving her smartphone at the others and saying. “That’s what Gracia claimed. Got it all on record.”
“What’s there to be afraid of if she’s telling the truth?” Lydia was utterly baffled.
Natalie sneered, ignoring Lydia, and pointed toward the staircase where there was a security camera. “This house is under surveillance 24/7, right?”
“Of course!” Lydia snapped back icily. They only had a camera at the staircase. It couldn’t capture the hallway here. Lydia and Gracia had prearranged their story, confident in the absence of evidence, allowing them to smear Natalie.
Natalie went straight to the servant and requested the surveillance footage from twenty minutes earlier. She fast–forwarded the timeline and paused at the frame where she was ascending the stairs, showing it to Samuel.
Holding back his rage, Samuel asked. “And? Your point?”
“I didn’t come home last night, as everyone is well aware, right?” Natalie asked Samuel a faint smile playing on her lips.
“How dare you!” Samuel’s face grew darker. He was about to confront Natalie about where she went after leaving last night’s dinner party. The Foster family had come over, making a scene all night until dawn!
It was the cause of Matthew’s furious outburst!
“So, from last night until a moment ago, I only came upstairs this once.” Natalie continued.
“And, before I came up, my dear sister was already in her room, right? And she would know whether I went in there, right?”
Samuel hesitated before turning to look at Gracia.
“I…” Gracia was flustered.
