Chapter 71
The woman named Vivi instantly shouted, “Fiona, isn’t that the earring you just said you couldn’t find?”
Fiona came over angrily and grabbed a glass of wine to splash onto Estelle, “You despicable thief!”
Estelle reacted quickly, grabbing Fiona’s wrist and flicking it back, making the wine splash onto Fiona
instead. However, some wine still spilled, splashing onto her white T–shirt, spreading like drops of
blood.
Fiona had wine all over her face, her eyes wide open with a shocked expression, letting out a loud
scream.
That scream was as if she had been stabbed!
Everyone was drawn by her screaming, and the banquet hall went quiet. The men who were chatting
and drinking turned their heads to stare in this direction.
Mr. Waldo immediately walked over and exclaimed, “Fiona, what happened?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFiona ran to her father, sobbing and hugging him pitifully, “Father, she stole my earring, and she
splashed wine on me!”
Mr. Waldo’s expression darkened, glanced at Estelle, and said, “That’s impossible. This young lady is a
guest of Mr. Scott. How could she do such a dirty thing?”
Fiona continued to cry, “Naomi saw it with her own eyes.”
Naomi, who was standing aside, looked more frightened than Estelle, who was accused of being a
thief, trembling and saying, “Yes, I saw the earring fall out of her pocket.”
The other women joined in, convicting Estelle without evidence.
Estelle didn’t say a work, just looked at Jonathan who was coming over and softly called out, “Uncle!”
Everyone followed her gaze and saw Jonathan. As soon as they saw him, everyone closed their
mouths, and the whole hall went silent.
Jonathan smiled, walked steadily to her side, and asked with deep eyes as if he had just found out she
was there, “What are you doing here?”
Estelle replied sweetly, “I ran into Manley, and he brought me here.”
Jonathan looked down at her wine–stained clothes and frowned, “How did this happen?”
Estelle picked up the earring on the ground, looking at the flustered Naomi and Fiona, “They said I
stole this earring.”
Jonathan turned to Mr. Waldo and asked, “What does Mr. Waldo think? Would my niece steal your
daughter’s earring?”
My niece?
Others didn’t notice, but Estelle felt her heart skip a beat.
His question was calm, but it felt like the air pressure had dropped, leaving people afraid to breathe.
Mr. Waldo stuttered, “I didn’t know she’s your… There must be some misunderstanding
His most important guest tonight was Jonathan, and the main purpose of his party was to participate in
a project recently developed by the Lamont Group, but he never expected his own daughter to mess
with his niece.

Isn’t she Manley’s girlfriend?
No way, her last name is Macclain, not Lamont
But how dare he ask that now?
Jonathan then looked at Naomi, “You saw it with your own eyes?”
Naomi was terrified, not daring to nod or shake her head.
Jonathan took out his phone and made a call, “Find Ming Yin, check the surveillance in the hall, and
see who stole the earring
“Yes” Millard immediately responded
Mr Waldo humedly said. “Mr. Lamont, no need to check it. It’s a misunderstanding. It’s definitely not
your niece who stole the earring”
Jonathan said indifferently, “Let’s check it to clear things up”
At this moment, Manley came over from somewhere, seemingly smiling and asking “What happened?”
Mr. Waldo quickly pulled Manley aside and whispered, ‘Mr Scott, you screwed me over badly, why
didn’t you say that Ms Macclains is Mr. Lamont’s niece?
