Lindsey wanted to explain, but she knew it was meaningless.
With pursed lips, she opened her bag and looked inside. Sure enough, the sparkling diamond ring shone from the bottom of her bag. She took a napkin from the table and used it to pick up the ring.
Seeing the ring twinkle under the bright lights, everyone became even more disdainful and angry.
However, Lindsey was completely unfazed. She held up the diamond ring looked around, and said confidently, I can prove who really stole it.

The crowd instantly fell silent and looked at Lindsey curiously.
Eyes fiery with determination, Lindsey glanced at the people present and said, Before the ring was stolen, no one else had touched it except Mrs. Lopez.
If we find someone elses fingerprints on it, itll prove who the real thief is.
As she spoke, Lindsey slowly turned around and smiled at Shelia.
Thats why I used a tissue to pick up the ring.
Hearing that, all the color suddenly drained from Shelias face. She pounced on Lindsey and wanted to grab the ring, but Lindsey dodged her nimbly. What on earth are you doing? Youre acting like a guilty person!

Horrified by the thought, Shelia threw caution to the wind and rushed at Lindsey without warning. She practically launched herself at the latter, knocking the ring out of her hand. The shiny ring fell to the ground, rolling several meters away.
Without a moment to lose, Shelia leaped to her feet and rushed in the direction of the ring. She had to get the ring and wipe her fingerprints off it so that no one could accuse her of stealing!
The rolling ring had come to a halt a few meters away. Just as Shelia was bending over to grab it, a shiny leather shoe stepped on it.
Shelia raised her head in a hurry, only to see Emilio standing in front of her. His usual gentle eyes were now icy cold.
M-Mr. Howard Shelias voice trembled. Her face had completely lost its color, and her hair was disheveled from tackling Lindsey just now.
Emilios icy gaze swept over Shelia. With a wave of his hand, the assistant behind him picked up the ring with iron tweezers and carefully placed it into a black box.
