Chapter 971 “Oh, so you were wearing flip–flops that day.”
Chloe looked at Nicole‘s expression, feeling as if she had been tricked.
“You‘re right. It really wasn‘t you who covered your face; it was you who was on the phone at the pillar.”
Everyone followed Nicole‘s lead and looked at the person next to the pillar in the footage. Even with the sunglasses on, they could easily identify Chloe, given their familiarity
with her.
“Chloe, were you really on the phone there?” Miley, who loved her the most, spoke up to guide her.

“It‘s okay if you don‘t admit it. Let‘s keep watching.” Nicole looked over at the family butler.
The video continued. For days on end, Chloe had been on the phone at the pillar, and then it was her pretending as if she ran into Nicole by chance and asking her to deliver
the diamond.
“That is all the video for now. I‘m sure you all have questions in your inind after watching it. Now I will break it down with you all. There are now two suspects: me and
Chloe. So we can narrow the search. The person who swapped the diamond was either me or Chloe and no one else.” Nicole swept her eyes over at everyone, looking for
confirmation, and they had all no objection to her analysis. “Let‘s talk about me first. What is my motive? Why would I swap something I knew was for Grandpa?”
“You must have gotten greedy with the diamond and swapped it to keep for yourself.” Snow looked at her and put forward her analysis.
“If we go by your analysis , am I not shooting myself in the foot? I was the one who sent it to Grandpa, and I swapped the diamond. If it were you, would you be so stupid as to
think that Grandpa couldn‘t tell? So that reason doesn‘t hold water; I had no motive to swap the diamond.” 1
Snow could not find a word to respond.
“If I didn‘t swap the diamond, at what point was the diamond swapped?”
“It must have been before I got the diamond. So here‘s the question: I think Chloe had the diamond before I got it, hadn‘t she?” Nicole looked at Chloe, and all eyes followed.
“Why are you all looking at me? I haven‘t seen any diamonds. Why would I take a diamond that was given to Grandpa?” Chloe said. “Nicole, after all that talk, the problem is

“That‘s right.”
“Well, since you say the problem is with me, show me proof, or don‘t get me to take the blame for you.” Chloe looked expressionlessly at Nicole with her arms folded in front
of her chest.
“I knew you‘d say that.” Nicole took out her phone and called up a picture.
“Check it out.” Nicole placed her phone on the table for everyone to view.
Miley was the first to pick it up and check it out. “What does a picture of a diamond say? You can take as many pictures as you want with the diamond in your hand.”
Damien took it and looked at it, too, but not seeing anything. But when Chloe saw it, her pupils contracted, as that was none other than her handbag in the picture. Everyone
only noticed the diamond and ignored the handbag, but Chloe recognized it at first glance.
