Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 64

Upon hearing Riley’s words, Samantha pursed her lips. “I don’t think Elise did it. Still, Elise, as the watch is in your bag, you’ll have to give me an explanation for this.”

“She didn’t take it.” Zachary emerged from among the crowd to defend Elise. His expression was grave as he looked at the classmates around him. “If she really took it, then she must have been a fool. She would be telling everyone that she was the thief by storing the watch in her bag.”

The crowd fell silent as no one spoke up.

After a long while, a classmate finally asked in a meek voice, “If she didn’t take it, then who did?”

“Yeah! If she wants to prove her innocence, she should find the real culprit! We can’t tolerate such behavior in our class!”

The corners of Zachary’s lips curled into a confident smile. “Actually, it’s effortless if we want to catch the culprit; we just have to report it to the police! The investigation techniques are extremely advanced nowadays, right? Anyone who touched this watch before would leave their fingerprints. Since everyone has unique fingerprints and our

class isn’t huge, we can just let the police compare our fingerprints and find out who stole the watch.”

Upon seeing that Zachary had a point, Samantha took out her phone right away. “Then, I’ll call the police now. No matter who it is, I’ll find the culprit before the day ends!”

He gestured for her to go ahead, so she dialed the number.

The other classmates waited patiently in the classroom while Elise stood in silence. She had never met with such a situation before, so she was a little flustered. Not to mention, it wasn’t a pleasant feeling to be accused of something she didn’t do.

Zachary looked at her and seemed to have summoned enough courage to pat her on the shoulder. He then gave her a look of assurance.

She understood that he meant well, so she quickly whispered, “Thanks!”
