Murray thought, No?
That ans lissa is not the girl who saved when I was a child.
Murray’s eyes darkened. A disappointed look flashed across his handso face.
lissa pursed her lips and felt that it was a little strange.
lissa thought, What does he an by that? Does he want to be kidnapped?
Murray and lissa didn’t say anything more. When they returned ho, Sarah handed Murray an invitation card and said, "Don’t forget Mr. Yale’s 70th birthday party will be held this weekend."
Archer’s birthday banquet would be held in the most luxurious hotel in Aldness. All the guests were distinguished figures.
lissa was dismissive of such a banquet, but she was woken up by Sarah early in the morning.
"Don’t embarrass the Gibson family!" Sarah glared at lissa and said coldly.
The banquet was bustling with noise and excitent, but lissa felt bored. After taking a look at Murray who was in the crowd of people, lissa stood up and prepared to go to the rooftop to get so air.
After a few steps, lissa was blocked by a group of people. They were Adela and her best friends.
Adela stretched out her hand. There was a sparkling diamond ring on her fair finger, making her look even more noble and generous.
Adela deliberately glanced at lissa. With a self-satisfied smirk on her face, Adela said, "Do you see that? This is designed by Ada, the world-famous designer. It is a limited edition worldwide. My grandfather bought this from a foreign auction and gave it to on my birthday last year."
"It’s beautiful!" Adela’s friend complinted, "only you are worthy of such a noble ring."
lissa thought it was boring.
lissa glanced at the diamond ring on Adela’s hand. lissa thought, It is beautiful, but the diamond is a little small. It’s a lot smaller than the ones grandpa gave .
lissa said, "Please get out of the way." lissa went straight past them and walked forward, looking steadily forward.
Mocking words then ca from behind lissa. "Country folk have not seen the world."
lissa stayed on the rooftop for a while. When she returned to the banquet hall, a waiter in uniform pointed at her and shouted, "It’s her! The person I saw just now was her!"
lissa stopped in her tracks. lissa thought, What’s wrong with him? Why is he pointing at for no reason?
Hearing what the waiter said, Adela quickly walked up to lissa and said, "lissa, so it was you who stole my diamond ring."
lissa didn’t know what was going on.
lissa frowned and glanced at Adela, saying, "I don’t know what you are talking about?"
Adela’s friends also walked over and began to bla lissa.
"I didn’t expect Mr. Gibson’s fiancée to be a thief."
"She’s just a bumpkin. She may have never seen such a precious diamond ring in her life. She can’t afford such an expensive diamond ring, so she stole it."
"Adela, don’t be so kind. Call the police directly!"
lissa finally realized that this group of people wanted to wrongly accuse her of stealing the diamond ring.
lissa glanced at Adela’s hand. Sure enough, the diamond ring on Adela’s hand was gone.
Archer heard the noise and walked over with his walking stick. "What happened?" Archer said.
Adela held Archer’s arm and said with a pained expression, "Grandpa, you have to help ." Adela then glared at lissa and said, "lissa stole the diamond ring you gave ."
Archer patted Adela on the shoulder to comfort her. Archer then narrowed his eyes and looked at lissa, saying, "Ms. Eugen, did you take Adela’s diamond ring?"
lissa smiled calmly and said, "No."
Archer frowned and said, "The diamond ring is not very valuable, but it is Adela’s favorite thing. Ms. Eugen, if you like it, I will send you a better one another day. Now please return the diamond ring to Adela."
"I didn’t take it. How can I return it?" lissa said helplessly.
Julie, Adela’s friend, pulled the waiter who pointed at lissa over and said angrily, "lissa, do you still have any sha? Soone saw it with his eyes that you took it, but you still want to deny it."
