Alice faced Max, calm and collected.”You say | stole your bracelet? Where's the proof?”

“Proof? | went to the food area, and it’s gone! Only you two were there. Who else could have taken it?” Max

declared, practically branding Alice a thief.

Mary exploded.“Max, are you crazy? | was in the food area too! Am | a thief, too?” ‘Max sneered.“Of course not,

you don’t need to steal. But speople... country bumpkins who've never seen anything nice.”

Mary's face flushed crimson.”Mayx, if you don’t stop your lies, get out of my birthday party!”

My

“Mary, don’t be so impulsive,” Mrs. Parker intervened, glancing at Mary.“Miss Garcia is our guest. You can't just

throw her out. You're being childish.”

Mary's eyes welled up.“But Alice and Lana Parker are my friends, and Max accused them of theft in front

of everyone! Is that fair?” Everyone knew Max's personality.

“Mary, it's understandable Miss Garcia is suspicious. It's just a coincidence. She simply wants to ask Miss

Windham if she saw an emerald bracelet.” Mrs. Parker looked at Alice, her gaze condescending.

Alice knew Mrs. Parker despised her. Why would Mrs. Parker approve of Ethan marrying into her family?

Something wasn’t right.

Alice smiled thinly at Mrs. Parker.“Since you asked, the answer is no, | didn’t see any bracelet.”

Mrs. Parker's expression soured; she clearly wasn’t satisfied. But so what? Did they really expect a confession?

Her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Miss Windham didn’t see your bracelet. Let's look again,” she told Max,

secretly enjoying the show. It was the Garcia family that would suffer

the consequences, not the Parkers.

Max scoffed.“She took it!

it! I checked the security footage; it’s in her bag.”

Alice glanced at her clutch; the zipper was open. She'd left it beside her while eating, only containing her phone.

A cold smile played on her lips. “Since you've seen the footage, let's see it,”

Max hesitated.”l saw it, and other Windhams saw it too.”

Chloe, who'd been trying to stay hidden, was pointed out. She stepped forward nervously.“Sister Alice, why don’t

you just let us check your bag? That'll clear up any suspicion.

Alice stared at Chloe and Max.“So that’s your plan.” They'd surrounded her with their friends.

Max gloated. “Alice, if you won't let us check your bag, it means you're guilty!” She was determined to ruin Alice,

to stop her from competing with her sister for men. No respectable family would want a thief as a daughter-in-

law.

Alice looked at her clutch.“Fine, check it. But if I'm innocent, Miss Garcia will apologize publicly, right?”

“Apologize? The bracelet’s in your bag!” Max insisted.

Mrs. Parker saw through the scheme.“Miss Windham, if you're willing to let us check, give it to me. I'll give

everyone an explanation.”

Alice fixed her gaze on Mrs. Parker.“So, Mrs. Parker agrees that if I'm innocent, Miss Garcia will apologize for her

false accusations?”

Mrs. Parker hesitated. Alice was incredibly aggressive.

Ethan stepped in.“Alice, you're being disrespectful. Mrs. Parker is giving you a way out. “Yes, Sister Alice, by

hesitating and making demands, you're only making yourself look suspicious,” Chloe added, relishing the

moment. Alice’s humiliation would mean Ethan would forget about her.

Finn was even more blunt.“Alice, you were a thief as a child! Now you're stealing at a banquet! You've disgraced

the Windham family!”

The crowd gasped. Alice was shocked; Finn had just stabbed her in the back!

Ethan scolded Finn.“Are you insane? Alice never stole anything.” Even if he disliked her, this was too much.

Finn ignored him, snatching Alice’s clutch.“Alice, you're just stubborn! Let's see what

you stole!”

He pulled out a jade green bracelet, his expression excited.“Alice, you say you didn’t steal anything? Here's your

proof! What do you have to say now?”

The crowd was stunned. Ethan stared at the bracelet, then at Alice.“What is this? | believed you, but you've

disappointed me!” The shwas unbearable; he couldn't afford to have this ruin his image with Mrs. Parker.

Chloe smirked.“Sister Alice, | know this is your first high-society event, but you shouldn't steal things!”

Max crowed, “A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin.”

Mrs. Parker calmly spoke.“Mr. Windham, this is a family matter. How will you handle it?”

“To be clear, Alice cut ties with the family long ago. She’s not one of us. Miss Parker invited her, not me.” Ethan

wanted nothing to do with her.

Alice wasn’t surprised. She'd always known her brother only cared about his own gain.

Mrs. Parker found Alice’s composure unsettling.”“Miss Windham, the evidence is clear. Do you have anything to

say?” This would give the Garcia family a debt they owed her.

Alice countered, “I don’t, but how do you usually handle situations like this?”

Max smirked, “Call the police. This bracelet is worth millions; she’ll be in jail for years.” Alice in jail would make it

impossible for her

to marry into the Wilson family.

Ethan put a hand on Alice’s shoulder.“Apologize to Miss Garcia! Do you want to go to jail?” He didn’t want a

criminal sister.

Alice's lips curled into a cold smile.“Wrongdoers should pay the price. But the person going to jail won't be me.

It'll be Max.”
