Chapter 63 Celia the Criminal

+15 BONUS

Grace smiled mockingly and walked up to Celia. “Why did you freeze? Go on, call the cops. I’m waiting.”

Celia broke into a cold sweat, gripping her phone tightly. She didn’t know what to do.

“Are you wondering how the bracelet ended up in your bag when it was supposed to be in mine?”

Celia froze. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Did you really think I wouldn’t notice you slipping something into my bag?” Grace snapped.

Back when Celia had done the deed, Grace had happened to witness it through a mirror’s reflection.

Hence, she had put the bracelet back in Celia’s bag the moment the latter had turned around.

It was only then that Emily realized what had happened. “Oh, Celia, they should start calling you Celia the Criminal! How did you come up with such an evil scheme at such a young age?”

“It looks like you haven’t learned your lesson at all since the last time you got jailed. In that case, let me discipline you on behalf of your family,” Grace said.

Then, she turned to the staff members. “Call the cops!”

“Don’t call the police! Don’t call them!” Celia clung onto the staff members so that they wouldn’t be able to get to the phone.

Coincidentally, Benjamin called her at that exact moment, so she picked up and immediately started crying. “Save me, Benjamin! They’re going to hand me over to the cops.”

Emily couldn’t help but insult her. “Why is she even crying? She’s the one who committed a crime.”

Benjamin happened to be nearby, so he reached the scene within minutes. When he arrived, he saw that Grace and the others were still fighting with Celia.

“Ben! They’re ganging up on me!” Celia wailed as she pointed at them.

Benjamin shot Grace a cold glance, then asked Celia indifferently, “What happened?”

Celia wanted to explain herself, but she realized justice wasn’t on her side and started crying even harder.

Emily couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Your sister tried to frame Grace for stealing a diamond bracelet, so Grace fought back, and now she’s scared. She’s just playing the victim!”
