Chapter 86
Margo twitched a bit at the mention of “police,” and snickered, “Allison, you think just saying “police’
clears your name? The stuff got lost today, for sure it’s still with the thief. I say we search them and
their place!”
Before Christopher could open his mouth, Lean had already made up her mind, “Search ’em, we’re
getting to the bottom of this today!”
With the green light. Margo started frisking Wendy and Allison.
Allison clenched her fists, expecting Margo to take the opportunity to embarrass her. But to her
surprise, Margo just gave her a quick pat down, then turned to Lean, “Maam, they’re clean. I’ll go check
their rooms”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLean nodded, and Margo bolted towards the shabby courtyard behind the villa
She opened Allison’s bag and dumped everything out. A pendant caught her eye, she tossed it aside,
then unzipped the hidden compartment.
Ten minutes later
In the living room, Margo presented the ring with a face of wrath, “Got the evidence right here! Found
Missy’s engagement ring in Allison’s bag, hidden away!”
Penelope took the ring and examined it, then turned to Allison with tears in her eyes, “Allison, we’ve
been good to you How could you do this? I could ignore your past thieving habits, but this is my
engagement ring with Lucian!”
Allison was stunned by the sight of the ring that had been pulled from her bag. She had only put her
pendant in the bag before cleaning the bedroom and hadn’t touched it since, let alone seen this ring
before.
Grinding her teeth, she was more convinced that Penelope had set her up.
“I don’t know how the ring ended up in my bag, but I didn’t take it. Maybe Margo knows more! If you
can blame me for stealing the ring. I can say Margo framed me
Margo was fuming. “You stole Miss Penelope’s ring, and you dare to slander me!”
“Good point.” The silent Lucian suddenly spoke, looking intently at the ring “Allison, you claim Margo
set you up. Do you have cameras at home?”
Allison was taken aback.

There was no way she had cameras at home, but she quickly understood why Lucian was asking
She smiled confidently, “Yes!”

Lucian said, “If there are cameras, finding out who took the ring should be easy”
Margo’s face darkened even more, her pleading eyes turning to Penelope.
Penelope gritted her teeth, thinking, this idiot can’t even handle a small task!
Afraid of being exposed by the butler, she hurriedly said, “He’s been working here for many years, if
this blows up, it won’t be good. I think since we’ve found the ring, we should drop it.”
“Penelope, how could you…” Lean was anxious, but when she saw Penelope’s eyes, she understood
and said, “You’re too kind. If you, the person involved, don’t mind, then we’ll let it go. Allison, let’s chalk
this one up to a bad day, but be more careful in the future.”
Allison bit her lip, her body shaking involuntarily.
Despite the fact that it was now apparent who the real suspect was – Margo – she was still blamed.
She knew that on one hand, she didn’t have any cameras at home, and on the other, if she really
offended Penelope, the Flanagan family wouldn’t tolerate her
