Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 1962

Isabel scanned the crowd with a frosty gaze before she told Sherry about the stolen pink diamond.

Caprice was suspected to have stolen the pink diamond because they found the diamond in her purse.

Caprice had almost a hundred of those diamonds in her closet, why would she steal someone else's?

Something was not right.

"Daddy, Mommy, | didn't steal it. | don’t know how the diamond ended up in my purse," Caprice snorted and explained. John and Caprice looked at her gently.

Sherry said, "Caprice, we believe you."

John hugged the girl tight and then looked at the crowd coldly.

Those who called Caprice a thief immediately averted their eyes from John and looked down in guilt.

Sherry scoffed coldly. "You people were loud when you called my daughter a thief. What's with the silence now?" Then, hurried footsteps came.

"Mr. and Mrs. Stockton, Mr. and Mrs. Carter, we're sorry that you have to wait so long."

The owner of the estate, Mr. and Mrs. Duwait, came over with flattering smiles.

When they had a clear look at the situation, their smiles froze. "W-What's going on here?"

Sherry explained coldly, "Your staff accused my daughter of stealing the pink diamond and they found it inside her purse."

Mr. and Mrs. Duwait were both stunned. They first had a glance at Caprice crying in John's arms before they switched their attention to the staff.

Mrs. Duwait bellowed, "Why would Ms. Stockton steal? What's going on here?"

The leading female staff explained in a trembling voice, "I-I’m not sure either. | heard the alarm and the next thing | know, the pink diamond was gone. Only Ms. Stockton was here and | found it inside her purse.”

If she was alone here and the pink diamond was inside her purse, would it not make her a thief?

Mr. and Mrs. Duwait exchanged a quick look and then said to Sherry, "Mrs. Stockton, if Ms. Stockton likes the pink diamond, | can give it to her."

Both Sherry and John were offended.

Odell, Sylvia, and Isabel also reacted with frosty expressions.

Before anyone could say a word, Caprice cried, "I didn’t steal your diamond! | didn't even touch it!"

"Mrs. Duwait, it's just a piece of diamond. Do you think my daughter would want it?” Sherry asked with a scoff. Mrs. Duwait's expression froze. She turned to her husband for help.

Mr. Duwait explained, "Mr. and Mrs. Stockton, please calm down. I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here."

His eyes flickered as an idea rushed into his mind. He told the staff, "Bring me the surveillance footage." The staff wore a troubled look and did not move at all.

Mr. Duwait bellowed, "Why are all of you standing there?"

“Beverly said the surveillance cameras in the area are all down," said one of the staff.

Mr. Duwait immediately looked at the leading staff. She was the one who arrived at the scene after the alarm went off and was the one who found the diamond in Caprice's purse.

Mrs. Duwait and the other guests switched their attention to Beverly. Beverly lowered her head in guilt. Her body was shaking terribly. "Mr. Duwait, how timely it is for your surveillance cameras to be faulty," John said with a scoff.

Mr. Duwait lost his usual elegance. He disregarded Beverly and shouted at the other staff, "Go bring me the surveillance footage from security!"

The staff nodded and ran toward the security room.

“Wait a minute. Cast it on the big screen when you get it," Mrs. Duwait added.
