Chapter 783
Chapter 783:
The bank account used for the transaction was identified, but it was registered overseas, making it nearly useless.
Yet, Yelena was determined not to let it end here. Had she really hit a dead end?
Yelena glanced around and then leaned in to whisper something to Cayson.
Cayson nodded in response.
Bella observed the exchange and felt a surge of anxiety. Could Yelena and Cayson have discovered some evidence?
Bella’s fingers tightened anxiously.
Suddenly, Cayson announced, “I know where the phone was hidden p>
“Where?” The crowd’s curiosity was instantly sparked as they looked at Cayson.
Cayson approached a nearby vase, lifted it, and smashed it to the floor with force.
To everyone’s surprise, the vase shattered into pieces, revealing nothing inside.
Disappointment washed over the crowd. They had expected more from Cayson, but it appeared he had made a mistake.
While all eyes were still on Cayson, they missed Yelena approaching Bella. Yelena seized Bella’s hand and said, “Hand over the phone p>
Bella was taken aback. She stared at Yelena, her panic clearly visible. “What… are you saying? I don’t get it p>
At that moment, the surrounding crowd noticed the confrontation and turned their attention to Yelena and Bella.
“Cayson clearly stated the phone was hidden in the vase. How could I have it? Yelena, you can’t just make accusations without evidence.” Guilt stirred within Bella as she spoke, her voice soft and quiet.

Yelena gazed steadily at Bella as if seeing right through her. She explained, “Actually, I asked Cayson to break the vase on purpose. Innocent people would have just watched curiously. But you, feeling guilty, were anxious to check if your phone was still there, so you peeked into your purse p>
Bella subconsciously tried to hide her purse, but it was too late. Yelena swiftly snatched it from her before she could react.
Yelena opened the purse and found two phones inside. One was Bella’s regular phone, and the other was turned off.
As soon as Yelena powered on the second phone, it rang. On the other line was Cayson, using the waiter’s phone.
Yelena confronted Bella and said, “Do you want to explain this p>
Elianna turned to Bella and asked, “Bella, what’s really happening here p>
“Grandma, I swear, I don’t know how this phone got into my purse.” Bella did not care about what others thought. Her main concern was maintaining Elianna’s trust to secure her place in the Harris family.
Yelena observed Bella scrambling for an excuse before letting out a mocking laugh. “That’s ridiculous,” she said. “Are you really suggesting that the phone just mysteriously appeared in your purse p>
Yelena then held the phone up, displaying the screen to Bella. Bella suddenly understood the gravity of her situation and instinctively turned her face away. The phone contained far too many secrets, secrets Bella prayed Yelena would never discover.
Yelena looked at Bella with a sneer. “You claim that the phone isn’t yours and you don’t know how it ended up in your purse. So, why did you look away? Were you afraid your face would unlock a phone that wasn’t even yours p>
