Chapter 75 Pass the Buck After that, the police officer looked at Maggie and said, "Maggie, are you going to explain? Why was Vanessa's bracelet found in your bag?" Once the evidence was discovered, the students inside and outside the door started whispering among themscives.
"I didn't expect the bracelet to be in Maggie's bag. What's going on?" "Well, someone must have put it there." "But I remember that Maggie is from a good family, and Vanessa's family is also well-off. Plus, their relationship has always been good, so how could this happen?" This just goes to show that you never really know someone. Even if Maggie comes from a good family. she was adopted. It's not the sas being a real heiress." "But she can't have stolen that, right? Is there smisunderstanding here?" Maggie's eyes were dark as she looked deeply at Vanessa. Then, she said slowly. “I also don't know why this thing was in my bag." Vanessa, looking hurt, said, "Maggie, I know we had smisunderstandings recently, and you can blme however you want, but... You can't do something like this and ruin your own future!" Maggie chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly, "You seem to care more about my future than my mother." With that sentence, the tense atmosphere was broken, and many people burst into laughter.
"You!" Vanessa was furious, a hint of malice in her eyes.
She did not expect Maggie to remain calm and even mock her after being caught red-handed.
Fine, if that's how it is, then she shouldn't blme for not showing any mercy! I'd like to see how Maggie would handle this "Blme for being sentimental. Fine, we're not close to each other, but taking my things without permission is not right. I may not pursue it, but I at least need an apology." Vanessa's eyes were red, but she stood her ground.
She had the look of someone pushed to the brink and was unwilling to show any mercy.
Maggie smirked and said softly, "Apology? Dream on!" "You!" Vanessa felt that Maggie had changed. She did not know when it started, but Maggie's increasing arrogance made her feel uneasy and inexplicably fearful.

1/3 department, even winning many awards both domestically and internationally on behalf of the school.
So, this incident was a little hard to believe.
"Maggie, don't worry, we believe in you. Try to remember if something was off The teacher, a woman in her forties, had always favored Maggie. Now, she was soothing her in a gentle voice, telling her not to panic.
"Ms. Gelb, what do you mean by this? I know you have always liked Maggic, but now that the truth is out, can't just turn a blind eye to the truth, can you? If you do this, I don't think our school deserves to be called the top institution!" Vanessa exclaimed urgently.
you Maggie, on the other hand, did not seem to care much about the situation involving herself.
However, Vanessa was slandering her respected mentor. So, her gaze sharpened and she looked directly at Vanessa before saying coldly, "Funny, I happen to want an explanation too." "What do you mean?" Vanessa frowned.
Ignoring her, Maggie turned to the police and said, “Let's start by checking the fingerprints. The bracelet is made of K gold and diamonds, which will easily leave fingerprints. Moreover, the box is velvet, so it will be easy to leave traces.
The police nodded in agreement. "Since you have no objections, we will have our colleagues in the forensic department check it first." Vanessa remained calm. She had already wiped off any fingerprints on the items before doing this. Although there was no evidence to prove that Maggie stole them, there was also no evidence to prove that she did not.
Vanessa knew that just a bracelet would not be enough to incriminate her. So, without direct evidence, it would be impossible to convict her.
However, as long as she could tarnish Maggie's reputation and as long as she could make people doubt Maggie's integrity, then the opportunity to study abroad might fall into her hands.
Otherwise, with the favoritism shown by the leaders and teachers toward Maggie, the chance to study abroad in Yatria would only go to Maggie.
How could she let this happen? She refused to accept this! Maggie had everything, but she had nothing.
She had worked so hard her entire life, but she had hardly even left Aquapolis. She also wants to go to Yatria to see the local customs and architecture. Moreover, she wanted to meet the world-famous architects and add a golden touch to her resume, Soon, the people from the forensic department cback with the bracelet and shook their heads, saying, "There are no fingerprints on it. It has been wiped clean." A cold look flashed in Vanessa's eyes. She was not surprised at all.
In the next moment, Maggie said, "Please also send my bag for fingerprint analysis." This time, Vanessa was stunned for a few seconds. She had not expected Maggie to mention this.
"Yes, my bag has been tampered with, so there should be fingerprints," Maggie calmly said, guessing that Vanessa probably would not have thought of this.

The reason was simple, the bag did not move much. So, when Vanessa placed the bracelet, she must have el tried he best to avoid moving the bag as she had to try to keep the items in their original positions to avoid any flaws. So in Vanessa's opinion, she basically did not touch the bag. Therefore, she would not think about cleaning up any traces left on the bag.
Sure enough, Vanessa's eyes showed a hint of panic in the next moment.
Vanessa's throat tightened, unsure if she had left any traces on Maggie's bag. However, she should not have touched Maggie's bag much.
Maggie's bag was filled with many things, and she just opened it slightly to stuff the box inside.
After the police took Maggie's bag for inspection, Maggie looked at Vanessa with a smile mile that was not quite a simile and said, "Miss Brown, E you take so good care of your things that there is not a single fingerprint of yours on the bracelet. It seems like you must clean it regularly." With just one sentence, many people began to feel suspicious.
Someone whispered, "Yeah, that makes sense. How could there be no fingerprints of her own on her belongings? It's a bit strange." "Do you think it's new and she's never touched it?" "But even if it's new, wouldn't she try it on when she bought such a valuable item?" "Maybe it was wiped clean before it was put back in?" "That's not right either. If it was taken out from the shop, it wouldn't be in this kind of packaging. So, Vanessa must have touched it, unless she wiped it clean herself." Most people were curious about the truth. So, they began to discuss and analyze the situation.
