Gary’s eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at Nicole.
But never did the thought about who was he to judge Nicole cross his mind.
Raine also looked at Nicole.
When she noticed Gary’s disappointed eyes, she was elated.
She echoed her sister with a sarcastic tone, “What are you going to do? You should just apologize to my
sister sincerely.
After all, having a criminal record is far worse than losing your face!”
When the bystanders saw the box and the confidence on Snow and Raine’s faces, almost all of them
believed that Snow’s diamond was inside that black box.
Hence, there was a drastic change in the look of their eyes when their gaze landed on Nicole.
Those who had initially come to look for Nicole to apologize to her despised her now and planned to
leave the scene.
In their opinion, Nicole was despicable, so they did not consider what they had done as defamation, and
the one who was going to face legal action was her instead of them.
Vivian, who was not in the crowd, gloated as she said, “I didn’t expect Nicole to steal from others.
She’s no doubt a country bumpkin who has no shame!”
She thought Harvey would agree with her.
However, he did not say a word but gave her an impassive look.
No one knew that Harvey Ellison used to be the so-called “country bụmpkins.” He grew up in the
countryside too. When Harvey saw that black box, there was a pensive look in his eyes.
However, he did not plan to choose a side. Nicole did not spare those people in front of her a glance.
Her face was unsmiling, as cold as winter’s storm, her coldness shrouding Snow entirely.
With her glare directed at Snow, she said, “I repeat.
Pick them up.” Her voice was icy cold. Gary could no longer stand Nicole’s persistent “denial” to admit
the allegation.
He swiftly approached her and spoke to her in a deep and cold voice, “Enough, Nicole! Snow is kind
enough.
Apologize to her, quick!” Gary felt that trying to persuade Nicole to apologize was all he could do for her
sake.
After all, being brought to the police station was a consequence far direr than losing face. Raine dug her
nails into her palm when she saw that.
She went to Gary, wanting to pull him away as she said angrily, “Gary, she’s despicable.
You should just stay away from her!” She thought, ‘I’m the one who is supposed to be Gary’s girlfriend in
the public eye!” Snow was taken aback in the face of Nicole’s furious glare.
But she immediately recollected herself.
Her face gave off a hint of fluster.
Despite Gary’s interference, she sneered as she said,” Fine, Nicole.
You’re about to be in great trouble now, yet you’re acting stubborn.
Or do you want me to make everything in plain sight? Well, you ask for it!” After she said that, Snow
opened the black box.
A hint of smug satisfaction crept into her expression as she did that.
“Look closely.
I have enough evidence to prove you guilty of stealing my diamond.
Follow me to the police station now!” Fully immersed in her joy, she was oblivious to the expressions of
the surrounding people that had become rather strange. It was as though someone had pushed the
pause button, everything froze.
No one was moving at all.
Instead, everyone was dumbstruck upon staring at the item in the box. Even Raine was wide-eyed when
she saw the item in her sister’s hand.
She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she saw things because she had been too tired recently.
