Chapter 30:
The head of security immediately did as he was told. He unzipped the purse under the gaze of everyone present.
“She’s really the thief p>
Heather’s shining diamond ring was in Annabel’s purse!
“This is my ring!” Heather let out a cry and looked at Annabel contemptuously. “You stole my ring! Now that it has been found in your purse, it’s safe to say that you are nothing but a shameless thief. Are you still going to deny it p>
The strange appearance of the diamond ring in her purse did not ruffle Annabel at all.
She had expected this to happen.
The moment the waiter testified against her, Annabel was sure that the ring was in her purse.
Someone had put it there when she wasn’t looking.
The culprit was none other than Heather.
“Annabel, if you had returned the ring to me and apologized just now, I could have let it go.” From the corner of her eye, Heather saw the man she loved. She changed her arrogant tone to an extremely soft one, just to paint herself as an understanding person.
“You are far too kind, Heather. A shameless thief like Annabel doesn’t deserve to be let off the hook so easily. We’d better inform the police. Otherwise, she will continue to go around stealing people’s valuables!” Bella urged her friend.
“Well, you have a point there. Please call the police,” Heather agreed, nodding thoughtfully.
“You deserve it, Annabel! Theft is an unacceptable crime. You should go to jail to join other criminals!” Cathy piped up, her eyes glistening with smugness. It was obvious she was enjoying the show.
Despite it all, there was still no panic on Annabel’s face. She looked at them as if she wasn’t the one being roasted.

It would be more interesting to expose Heather’s scheme in front of the police.

A familiar male voice suddenly jolted Annabel back to reality.
She turned her head and saw Rupert’s tall and straight…
His tailored suit outlined his perfect figure. His face was as handsome as ever, and his eyes were sharp and deep. The lights of the banquet hall coated him in a soft golden hue. His aura was so intimidating that people instinctively wanted to bow to him.
“Mr. Benton p>
The crowd parted, making way for Rupert. He walked steadily toward Annabel.
“Thank God you are here, Rupert. Annabel stole my diamond ring!” Heather complained, putting on a pitiful expression. “It was a gift from my grandpa for my birthday p>
“You must be mistaken,” Rupert uttered with a deep frown.
Huh?
Annabel was surprised. Was Rupert defending her? Strange.
“Rupert, don’t be deceived by Annabel’s innocent look!” Cathy yelled before Heather could say anything. “Annabel stole the ring. Someone caught her red-handed. Also, the ring was found in her purse just now. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. It’s no mistake at all p>
“Yes, that’s right. I didn’t want to believe that Annabel stole my ring. After all, she’s your fiancée. But…” Heather paused and moved closer to Rupert. “We all saw the ring in her purse. How could it have gotten there if Annabel hadn’t taken it? The evidence is as clear as day. Rupert, you won’t defend her, will you p>
