Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 22 Shocking Proof Of Innocence

The forensic expert got down to business.

Shortly after, he returned to the crowd, cleared his throat, and declared, "The forensic test shows that Annabel Hewitt's fingerprints are on this ring."

Annabel's heart skipped a beat.

Her fingerprints were on the ring! How was that possible? She had never touched it.

Since Rupert called the cops himself, there was no way the forensic expert was bribed by Heather.It stood to reason that she had gotten Annabel's fingerprints somehow.But how?

"Annabel, now that it has been proven that you stole the ring, what else do you have to say?" A complacent smile appeared on Heather's face.

"Officer, she stole my ring.Please arrest her so she can face the law!"

Heather pointed to Annabel.

"Annabel, did you really steal it?" Rupert asked.

He could feel it in his guts that there was more to this than met the eye.Although he had only known her for a few days, he didn't think she was a thief.

"Of course not." Annabel was still calm.

"You heard the forensic expert.Your fingerprints are on the ring! Why are you still denying it?"

Heather glared at Annabel.

"Rupert, why are you still giving her the benefit of the doubt? The Benton family despises thieves.You deserve someone better than her!"

Cathy uttered, adding insult to injury "Miss Hewitt, you have to come with us and cooperate with us during the investigation."

The chief officer stepped forward.

All the evidence was against Annabel.She was the prime suspect, so the cops couldn't let her go scot-free.

They would interrogate her and do some investigation before deciding on her fate.

"No, thanks.I can prove that I have never touched this ring here and now," Annabel said, taking a step back from the officer. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was decisive and penetrative.

"Prove it? What else is there to prove? You are the thief, Annabel.Own up to it!"
