Chapter 283

Chapter 283 “I don’t want to hear your excuse. You must pay the price for laying a finger on my family!” Terence growled. The guests were terrified by his authority. Roselynn was surprised to see the usually friendly old man get angry. His authority and assertiveness resembled a lion, the king of beasts. “The golden jade phoenix is a gift from my grandson–in–law to my granddaughter. Then, she gifted it to Roselynn. How dare you all accuse her of stealing your item?! You arrogant idiots! I’ll teach you a lesson today!” Terence glared at the crowds. Nobody dared to say a word as they hung their heads low. The next moment, the security guards brought Jamison back to the crowd and shoved him to the ground. He fell next to Isaac. The hotel manager approached Terence with his head bowed. “Old Mr. Quillen, we looked up the surveillance footage and found this guy sneaking into Mr. Lane and Ms. Selina’s room. He also left the room without drawing any attention. He tried to take advantage of the chaos to flee the hotel, but our people caught him. We even found a necklace on him.” At that, he took out a yellow necklace from his pocket and presented it to Terence.

Realization dawned on Roselynn and she pointed a shaky finger at Jamison. A long while later, she finally brought herself to scold him. “Wow! You again? A  thief having the audacity to cry thief! You must have a death wish!” The discovery made her boil with anger. Everything had to do with her beloved cousin. Before this, he once tried to hire somebody to get rid of her and Emmanuel. Now, he stole somebody’s belongings and tried to blame it on her. If it weren’t for Terence arriving in time, things would end badly for her. “Beat him up.” Upon noticing Roselynn’s flushed cheeks, Claudette waited no more and ordered her men to teach Jamison a lesson. Before Jamison could speak, a punch landed on his face and smashed his  teeth. At that moment, a thief like him no longer deserved to defend himself. After appraising the necklace, Terence concluded, “Ms. Selina, your necklace is a counterfeit. It’s not the work of Mr. Cline. Judging from its material and craftsmanship, it isn’t even worth 30 thousand.” The statement made the crowd go wild. Nobody expected such a dramatic outcome. The fake daughter of a wealthy family is wearing a counterfeit that isn’t even worth 30 thousand?! However, she dares accuse another woman, who wears the real thing, of stealing her cheap necklace. She even used force on an innocent woman! The truth was out. Selina could feel the crowd’s eyes on her as they despised and mocked her. The thought caused her body to shake. As she refused to accept the truth, she threw a tantrum. “That’s impossible! No way! Mr. Lane bought it for me for 30 million!” “Wake up, you vain woman!” Jessica decided to jump at the opportunity to stand up for Roselynn. “The real rich daughter here is Roselynn. As for you, you are nothing but a poor woman who shows off her counterfeit around. You’re just a laughingstock and a clown!” “N–No! Whom are you calling a poor woman? I’m not making a joke of myself.” Selina was in denial. I’m just a victim of Isaac’s lies from the very beginning! However, Isaac didn’t dare to speak up. The crowd needed no more words as the truth was already presented to them. Usually, Roselynn would’ve slapped Selina. However, she changed her mind at the sight of the miserable woman. A woman like her deserves a mental punishment. It’s more effective than hurting her physically. “That’s it. There’s nothing interesting around here. Get back to work.” Terence waved his hand to dismiss the crowd. He decided that he had enough attention for today.
