    Millie, who had fiercely defended Linsey just moments ago, suddenly found herself at a loss for words.


    She


    stole a nce at Linsey, her expressionplicated. Had she really misjudged her so badly?


    Had Linsey truly stolen Carol''s stuff?


    A wave of regret washed over Millie.


    She couldn''t help but feel frustrated.


    She had hoped to use tonight''s incident to stir up trouble for Carol, yet all she had done was make Carol look


    like the righteous one.


    Her friends felt the same unease.


    Was it toote to take back everything they had said in Linsey''s defense?


    Carol silently took in the shifting atmosphere, satisfaction flickering in her eyes.


    In just minutes, the crowd''s perception of Linsey had changed-from wary skepticism to outright disdain.

And with the right price, there was nothing she couldn''t manipte. Carol arched a perfectly shaped brow and said coolly, "Linsey, didn''t you demand proof? Well, here it is. What do you have to say now?"


    Then, as if granting Linsey onest chance, she added, "If you know what''s good for you, hand over the ne.

    Alexa seized the moment, her eyes gleaming with false righteousness "Linsey, are you still trying to deny it? ber, when we hadn''t shown the footage, you used us of making baseless ims But now that we have proof, you''re saying it''s fake""


    She let out a mockingugh, dragging out her words. "So, you''re just never going to admit your wrongdoing, is


    that it?"


    Linsey''s jaw tightened. "I swear, I have never stolen anything from the Lawson family!"


    Carol scoffed, "Swearing" What good is swearing? If criminals could just swear their way out of things, why would we need police and judges? How ridiculous"


    Then, turning toward the guests, Carol raised her voice so everyone could hear. "Each of you is here tonight because I invited you to my birthday party. Now, I ask you-how should this situation be handled? Should I really believe Linsey''s empty words? And more importantly, where is my missing ne?"
