Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Being Framed
Back home, the living room had a lively atmosphere as the other four members of the Winthrop Family were there, including Margot.
Another young woman about the same age as Elspeth was also sitting on the couch. She wore a dress with a suit and she seemed to be a young lady from a wealthy family.
“Callum, you’re home. Come, sit. Ophelia returned today and came straight over after her flight landed.”
The woman rose to her feet to greet Callum. However, he responded coldly, which caused a disappointed expression on her face. Then, she looked at Elspeth and said, “You must be Elspeth, right? I’m Ophelia Fleming, and I grew up with Callum and the others. We’re friends from now on, so we can hang whenever you’re bored.”
Ophelia heard from her conversation with the others earlier that Elspeth was beautiful, but she did not expect her to be this beautiful. Her bare face looked fair and flawless, which every woman would envy.
Meanwhile, Elspeth had seen through her thoughts and replied flatly, “Sure.”

At that moment, Theodore returned as well. The Fleming Family and Winthrop Family had been friends for centuries, so he was naturally polite to Ophelia. While the others were happily chatting, Elspeth was sitting on the side, waiting for dinner to start.
Then, Margot said, “By the way, Ophelia, I knew you were coming back and I specially bought some things for you. Let me head upstairs to get them.”
First, she went upstairs, then she came back down and questioned Theodore unhappily. “Where’s the box of jewelry I just bought and placed in the drawer?”
“How would I know?” asked Theodore.
She then turned to her five sons. “Did any of you take it?”
They all shook their heads.
“That’s strange. Did it grow wings and fly away?”
Then, Ophelia carefully suggested, “Mrs. Winthrop, could someone have stolen it?”
“Who has the guts to steal something from me? You’d better give it back and leave the Winthrop Residence this instant, or else, you’ll be living in a dungeon cell!”
Seeing no one admitted it, Margot ordered, “Mr. Graham, search every room in this house.”
Meanwhile, Elspeth, who was playing on her phone, was instantly intrigued when she heard that.
An hour later, the butler brought a few people and searched through all the servants’ rooms, but they did not find the lost set of jewelry. Then, the butler hesitantly asked, “Mrs. Winthrop, besides the servants’ rooms, we haven’t searched through Miss Lynwood’s room.”
