Chapter 20 Flawless Scheme

"Oh, really?"

Annabel scoffed with a shake of her head.

She could see through Heather and her friends; they were trying to set her up.It annoyed her, but she looked forward to seeing what they would do next.

"Can someone explain to me what happened?"

Brock asked with a frown.

He found it hard to believe that Rupert's fiancee was a thief.

Nonetheless, he had to listen to his granddaughter's cries because he doted on her and there was also an eyewitness.

"Heather was showing us her diamond ring when Annabel passed by and gawked at it for a long time.

It was obvious she liked it."

Bella stepped forward to explain.

Annabel's jaw dropped at how skillful she was at lying.

When did she say or act like she fancied the ring? And she stared at it for a long time? After a pause, Bella continued, "Before we went dancing, Heather took off the ring and put it in her purse.After we finished dancing, the ring was gone."

"We looked for it everywhere.

This waiter told us that he happened to see someone steal my ring and that person was Annabel!"
