Chapter 18

Natalie took a few seconds to think, her expression betraying no sign of panic, as she stared straight at Gracia and asked softly. “You said you polished the bracelet just last night before you went to sleep?”

“Yes.” Gracia sniffled, responding with a tone of injury.

Natalie couldn’t help but derisively chuckle, waving her smartphone at the others and saying. “That’s what Gracia claimed. Got it all on record.”

“What’s there to be afraid of if she’s telling the truth?” Lydia was utterly baffled.

Natalie sneered, ignoring Lydia, and pointed toward the staircase where there was a security camera. “This house is under surveillance 24/7, right?”

“Of course!” Lydia snapped back icily. They only had a camera at the staircase. It couldn’t capture the hallway here. Lydia and Gracia had prearranged their story, confident in the absence of evidence, allowing them to smear Natalie.
