Super Wife’s Three Babies

Chapter 1440 Forgiveness

Alice felt slightly embarrassed as she explained, "I'm investigating the pearl necklace incident. Given my godmother's health, she doesn't wear jewelry anymore. So, the chance of her losing the necklace is slim. I suspect it might be an inside job. However, the people working here are all elderly, so they are unlikely to be disloyal or turn against her."

Olivia chimed in, saying, "Human behavior can be quite unpredictable. Someone with bad intentions would believe Godmother has fallen from grace. Hence, they might want to gain favor with Lucian through this act."

Alice's demeanor grew chilly as she turned her gaze toward Doreen. "Godmother, in your opinion, who could be behind this?"

Doreen's usually frail eyes sharpened unexpectedly. It was hard to believe this was a bedridden patient struggling to speak clearly. Nonetheless, she managed to say, "It's… Ada... Moss."

Alice nodded and immediately ordered someone to summon Ada.

It didn't take long for the messenger to return, bearing news that Ada could not be found. Surveillance footage revealed that she had left last night and hadn't returned. It seemed she might have fled to avoid being caught.

Alice narrowed her eyes and instructed the people around her, "Find her at all costs. Also, thoroughly question the security guards who took Miss Maxwell's bag this morning."

Her command was swiftly relayed, and the people present sprang into action.

Albert stepped forward and volunteered, "Alice, let me handle this investigation. Let me clear Olivia's name." He lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with Olivia as he spoke.

Alice glanced at him and then turned to Olivia, saying, "Alright. Team up with Mr. Bailey and conduct the investigation together. It should speed up the process."

He nodded and left.

Alice turned her gaze to Olivia and said, "I understand the disappointment you and your husband feel toward Albert. Your faith in him brought you here. However, during that crucial moment, he found it hard to trust you as much as you trusted him. In fact, he was only trying to protect me. He knew every step I took was like treading on thin ice, considering you were brought into this due to his actions. He feared that any misstep on his part could lead to my complete downfall."

Then, she continued, "Moreover, he was unaware of our encounter five years ago. In such situations, people tend to instinctively envision the worst possible outcomes. Also, Lucian's evidence today is incredulous to those unaware of the truth. So, Albert's hesitation didn't stem from a lack of trust in you; it was more a lack of confidence in his own judgment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased after you without a second thought when you left. Please find it in your heart to forgive him, especially considering our familial ties."

Olivia took a deep breath and responded, "This isn't about forgiveness, Alice. I comprehend the circumstances Albert was facing. Even I was left speechless in that situation. As you rightly put it, his actions weren't driven by distrust but rather by the weight of Lucian's evidence. I understand."
