Chapter 802
Isabella shrank back, acting like a delicate flower trembling in the wind, looking thoroughly terrified.
She bit her lower lip, her tone earnest and helpless. “I-I’m not targeting you… I just don’t want to make things difficult for my sister. If you didn’t steal the princess’s sapphire, just cooperate. It’s a simple search. Once it’s over, your name will be cleared, right p>
Then, she added with practiced innocence, “You’re reacting so aggressively and refusing a search… Do you have something to hide p>
“Bullshit!” Black Jack, lacking any shred of patience, glared with wild, disdainful eyes. “Have you no shame, you two-faced psycho p>
“You keep demanding a search, but with that shifty look in your eyes, I bet you’re the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. If you ask me, you stole The Heart of the Sea and planted it on us to play the hero p>
Though Black Jack had a fiery temper, her intuition was dead on.
She hit the nail on the head.
Isabella’s heart skipped a beat, but her face remained a picture of pure, gentle innocence.
So what if Hazel had guessed it?
They had no way to prove she did it.
But if a search was conducted p>
Finding The Heart of the Sea on their persons would be the most damning evidence.
“How could I ever do something like that? You are my sister’s friend, which makes you my friend too. What good would it do me or the Vinton family to frame you?” Isabella flashed a pitiful, helpless smile. “Miss Hazel, you’re being too sensitive p>
“I merely suggested the fairest solution to clear your name. After all… your background truly doesn’t compare to the other guests here p>
“Your continued refusal to cooperate… Are you really hiding something p>
Her voice was soft, but every word was designed to paint Black Jack as defensive and guilty.
Black Jack scoffed. “Friend? You wish. Stop flattering yourself. It’s disgusting p>
One was soft-spoken, the other explosive.
It only made the surrounding guests feel p>
That Black Jack’s group was indeed acting guilty.
A guest called out, “They’re stalling the search. If that isn’t guilt, what is p>
“Mr. Vinton, for the sake of your
3tation and to give the
the
Royal House an explanation, you must search them immediately p>
The Vinton family members’ expressions darkened.
Black Jack frowned, glancing from Isabella to the clamoring crowd.
She spat in annoyance.
She hated these manipulative high-society games.
This psycho was only running her mouth because Black Jack had insulted her earlier.
If it weren’t for Serena, she would never have stepped foot in a place like this.
This was Serena’s Debutante Ball.
These were Serena’s family members.
She didn’t want to ruin her girl’s big night or put her family in a tough spot.
She genuinely despised this woman’s cheap tricks.
If this psycho wanted to frame her she’d have to see if she actually had what it takes content
Black Jack sneered.
She was about to speak.
But a cool, small hand gently pressed against her arm.
A girl in a dazzling, starlit gown slowly stepped in front of Black Jack.
Her stunningly delicate face held
expression her tone lazy. “Fine You can
Search.” Content by the not
