William trusted Evan. After all, Evan enjoyed years of service at the studio and seemingly no personal conflict with Sabrina. William didnt think Evan would lie, which only added weight to Keilanis accusations.
Liliana sighed, choosing not to intervene.
Sabrina, however, snorted with derision. How can I give it back if I didnt steal the necklace? And I dont understand why Evan would perjure himself.
With a witness here, you still deny the truth? scolded William. The unexpected revelation of theft and dishonesty from a newly employed photographer disappointed him.
William, someone as dishonest as her should be fired immediately,
Keilani asserted fiercely.
Keilani had contemplated persuading William not to hire Sabrina from the start but refrained from doing so with the idea that tarnishing Sabrinas reputation would be more effective than a mere refusal.
Now, with the accusation of theft, Sabrina faced not only potential unemployment but also a damaged professional reputation.

I swear I didnt steal it. I wont admit to something I didnt do.
William, please give me a chance to prove my innocence. I want to confront Evan about this. If Im found guilty of stealing the necklace, Ill resign. I picked Saleel Studio because I genuinely have faith in this studio, Sabrina calmly stated.
Sabrina then directed her gaze toward Evan, emphasizing, If my conviction relies solely on a ridiculous testimony, Ill regret my choice. Saleel Studio doesnt deserve such pure faith from me.
Okay, lets confront. I dont want to be accused of being heartless.
William, swayed by Sabrinas conviction, had to agree.
A malicious light flashed in Keilanis eyes, and she immediately tried to stop William by opposing the idea, William, why bother talking to her? Shes just trying to talk her way out of it.
Keilani, do you feel guilty about something? Sabrina chuckled. If I indeed stole the necklace, you should be supporting Evan and facing me to confirm that Im the thief.
Well, why should I feel guilty? Keilani averted her gaze.
Then we can confront each other! Sabrina challenged.
Before Keilani could respond, William intervened, Lets do it.

Keilani, irritated, shot a glare at Sabrina.
Evan, since you claimed to see me stealing Keilanis necklace, could you tell me when you saw it happen? Where? And what were Keilani and Anne doing when I supposedly stole the necklace? Sabrina snapped.
After a momentary pause, Evan pretended to recall the memory and answered, It was around two oclock in the afternoon. At the No. 2 filming site, it was during the shooting. Keilani was tired. Anne was fetching some water for her, and you seized the opportunity to steal the necklace.
Thats impossible. During that time, Keilanis purse was in the west corner of the studio, next to a kettle and a cup. How could I have had the chance to steal the necklace? Sabrina put on a mocking smile.
When Anne grabbed a tissue from the purse, she left it open. Thats when I saw you quickly grab the necklace while Anne had her back turned. Evan tried to defend his lies.
Unfazed, Sabrina wore a confident smile. Are you sure? But I must have misspoken just now. Keilanis purse was actually in the south corner, not the west. So, how could I have stolen the necklace?
