Miss Garsia, the Cat Is Out of the Bag

The servant didn’t understand why Cassie asked this, but she still answered, “My name is Kelly Carey.”

Soon, the housekeeper came down and reported, “Sir, Madam, we found these things in the cabinet at the bottom of Miss Garsia’s clothing rack.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Inside the black plastic bag, there was a jade bracelet, a necklace, and a jewelry bracelet. It was the jewelry that Auntie Smith had lost.

Everyone was startled. They really found the necklace in Cassie’s room!

Auntie Smith’s face was full of anger.

“Dave Smith, what else do you have to say? Look at the woman you found for your son. It’s okay that she came from a small village, but her actions are filthy!”

“It’s impossible for it to be Cassie.” Uncle Smith looked determined.

Kittie also said hypocritically, “That’s right. Is there any misunderstanding?”

The situation was in a stalemate for a while. At this moment, Javen stood up and said, “Dad, Mom, let Officer Harris identify the fingerprints.”

If it was done by Cassie, there must be her fingerprints on the jewelry.

In order to prove Cassie’s innocence, Uncle Smith called for the police station’s Officer Harris.

Auntie Smith glanced at Dave Smith. “Okay, if she stole it, Cassie must cancel the engagement and leave the Smith family.”

Before Uncle Smith could reply, Cassie replied, “Sure.”

The result takes time, so they went to the restaurant for dinner first.

After they sat down, Telly Smith sniggered before his parents arrived. “Cassie Garsia, this might be the last good meal of your life. Enjoy yourself!”

“Enjoy yourself as well. I will remain at Smith’s house tomorrow. I’ll have Uncle Smith kick you out right away.”

“In your dreams!”

Despite saying that, Telly wasn’t entirely confident. If the jewelry wasn’t stolen by Cassie, it was more likely that his father would chase him out of the family given how much he doted on Cassie…

After dinner, the identification results came out.

Cassie’s fingerprints were found on the jade bracelet, in Uncle Smith and Auntie Smith’s room.

Uncle Smith couldn’t believe it.

“It’s really you, Cassie! Now you have nothing to defend yourself, right? Housekeeper, pack up this thief’s things and drive her out.”

“Wait a minute.” Cassie stood up and said calmly, “I didn’t steal it.”

She carefully recalled that the doorknob had been taped with a layer of the film yesterday, but it was gone today. Her fingerprints probably had been printed on the jade bracelet.

Auntie Smith sneered. “Ha, the evidence is right in front of you. How do you want to explain?”

“I have evidence to prove myself.” Auntie, lend me this jade bracelet, please.”

Everyone did not understand what Cassie meant. She picked up the jade bangle on the table unhurriedly and wore it.

“Cassie, what do you mean?”

Cassie did not say anything. Instead, she stretched out her hand. Under the illumination of the lamp, her fair wrist turned red and swollen.

Pain and itchiness spread through Cassie’s brain, but she didn’t seem to care. She said with a smile, “Auntie, this jade is really good. The better the jade is, the more allergic I am to the jade.”

Uncle Smith hurriedly said, “Silly child, you know you’re allergic to jade, so why are you touching it? Hurry up and take it off.”

At this moment, Cassie’s wrist had begun to swell and peel off, and her fingers, which had picked up the jade just now, had red rashes.

After taking off the jade bracelet, Cassie looked at Auntie Smith with a cold smile.

“These symptoms won’t heal in at least three days, so I didn’t steal it.”

“Maybe you steal it with gloves?” Auntie Smith asked.

“If I’m wearing gloves, how could my fingerprints be on the bracelet?”

Auntie Smith was at a loss for words.
