Chapter 1191 - Chapter 1191 Chapter 1192 Proving Innocence

Chapter 1191: Chapter 1192: Proving Innocence Chapter 1191: Chapter 1192: Proving Innocence “Zora! Remember, you are the daughter of the Hughes family. How can you act so timidly? Are you still afraid of Xaviera Evans? That bracelet was obviously stolen by her!” Nidya Hughes asserted.

Zora Hughes: “…”

At this moment, she was extremely irritated with Nidya. Things have reached this point where it was pretty clear that Xaviera had evidence to prove her innocence. If they continued making a fuss about it, they would definitely lose face. After hesitating for a while, she patiently urged, “Aunt, look how confident Xaviera is. She doesn’t look like a thief. Even if she did steal it, she is still your biological daughter, my sister. If she gets arrested, we would be humiliated too. If news about this gets out, people will think we are bullying Xaviera.”

“Aunt, please drop the charges. You have already punished Xaviera more than enough – she’s already cried herself to tears.”

She never really intended to alert the police; she just wanted everyone in Libanan to know that Xaviera stole her bracelet, and she intended to appear tolerant by not making a big deal about it. However, without her expecting it, this had somehow escalated to involving the police.

Nidya Hughes fell silent. Regardless, Xaviera was her daughter. If the situation escalated, she, too, would lose face and be laughed at by all the noblewomen.

But what if they dropped the charges and the incident did not get out? People would just assume that the Hughes family was fearful of Caleb Mamet’s influence and weren’t willing to take a stand for Zora. It seemed like either way, things would be improper.

Despite all that, Zora insisted on dropping the charges…

After thinking long and hard, Nidya finally said, “Okay, charges can be dropped but…”

“Drop the charges? Absolutely not!” Xaviera stepped out of the interrogation room, pointing to Steve Price standing behind everyone, “The surveillance footage from the Evans villa has been delivered. From the moment Mrs. Hughes broke into the private residence of the Evans Villa to your departure, everything was clearly recorded.”

Steve Price pulled out his laptop and played the surveillance footage. Xaviera focused her gaze on the screen, pointing at it, “Here, Miss Hughes takes out the bracelet box.”

In the video, Zora opened a sophisticated velvet box, revealing the diamond-studded bracelet inside before closing it again.

After this, the velvet box was placed on the table untouched. Halfway through, Zora tried to thrust the box into Xaviera’s arms, but Xaviera didn’t even touch it. It was snatched by Nidya Hughes and forced back into Zora’s hand. Subsequently, Zora put the box in her bag. The footage was clear, Xaviera did not have any opportunity to open the box or take out the bracelet without getting noticed.

Later on, Nidya Hughes took Zora and left. From the moment they left the storage room to the villa’s main door, the box was in the bag and did not drop out. The storage room’s surveillance continued to play, showing Xaviera holding a broken shell wind chime and did not chase after them.

Meanwhile, after Nidya and Zora left the villa, they got into the car directly without meeting again. During this period of the surveillance, Xaviera did not touch the box at all. How would she have stolen the bracelet?

After the surveillance ended, Zora looked extremely embarrassed.

Xaviera raised an eyebrow, “As everyone has clearly seen, I never touched the box that contained the bracelet. Yet Mrs. Hughes still insists that I stole the bracelet. I really don’t understand why. Is she trying to frame me, or does she simply dislike me?”

The surveillance footage was enough to prove Xaviera’s innocence. All of Nidya’s previous accusations now appeared as smears. She realized that the looks around her had become piercing.

Her teeth gritted, she really despised Xaviera. But why couldn’t this little bitch go along with her for once? How could she let her biological mother lose face in public?

Nidya Hughes was not willing to accept defeat, her sharp voice shouted, “Why are you all looking at me? Zora’s precious jewelry is lost. There are only a few people here, is it not natural for me to suspect Xaviera?”

Indeed, they were the victims, hence they could suspect anyone.

Xaviera scoffed, and Zora felt a chill run down her spine, a cold sweat breaking out on her back. She bit her lip, straining her brain about how to respond. Now that Xaviera had proven her innocence, if she was not the one who stole it, then how would she explain the whereabouts of the bracelet?

She did not want to involve the police force in the first place; it was Nidya, the fool, who insisted on escalating the matter. Now it was too late to make amends.

Just as Zora was about to explain, Xaviera challenged them first, “Mrs. Hughes, since you can suspect anyone, why don’t you suspect Miss Hughes?”
