The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1653

“Exactly.

Isn’t that proof?”

“If someone saw her take it, it must be true.

”

“But Mr.

Mitchell will defend her.

I doubt anything will happen to Miss Moore.

”

Bryson scoffed, “There are no cameras in the banquet hall, just this witness.

She can say whatever she likes.

”

Staring down the waitress with his cold eyes, Bryson asked, “Are you certain you saw Miss Moore took the diamond?”

Intimidated by his commanding presence, the waitress felt a dryness in her throat and her legs quivered slightly.

She cast her gaze downwards and stuttered.

“I… I did see… I think I’m correct.

”

Melina, Looking defeated, said to Bryson, “I know you care about Miss Moore and want to protect her.

But this is serious.

If she took the diamond, she just needs to return it.

”

Bryson gave her a cold look and said, “I could also accuse you of stealing the diamonds and setting up Hannah.

”

Melina’s expression changed.

“Bryson, how could you suspect me? Miss Moore and I are friends.

I have no reason to frame her.

”

“First off, we are not friends.

”

Hannah stepped aside and approache

d Melina.

“Secondly, you have a motive to frame me.

I’m aware you have feelings for Bryson.

I know you grew up with him.

If you like him, you should earnestly pursue him.

That’s acceptable.

”

Hannah’s expression hardened, and her voice grew cold.

“But I despise scheming the most.

Do you understand the consequences of plotting against me in this?”

Hannah took charge in their confrontation, holding the advantage.

Observing Hannah’s behavior, the crowd started to question the validity of the waitress’s claims.

Hearing Hannah’s emphatic words, Master Murray frowned and turned to Melina, “Melina, I don’t believe this lady is a thief.

Could there be a mistake?”

As the room seemed to sway in Hannah’s favor, a determined gleam appeared in Melina’s eyes.

“A thief will never confess to stealing.

Hannah! If you claim you didn’t take the diamonds, would you let everyone see what’s in your possession?”

She was convinced the diamond was in Hannah’s bag.

Hannah’s smile grew wider.

Today, she was intentionally walking into Melina’s trap.

She wanted to see what Melina would do next.

Whoosh!

Hannah unzipped her bag and looked at Melina with a smile.

“I dare to show it, do you dare?”

Observing the confidence etched across Hannah’s face, Melina felt a twinge of uncertainty.

However, surrounded by so many prying eyes, she masked her own guilt.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? I didn’t steal Master Murray’s diamond.

”
