The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 173

The ink pad was brought over quickly. Taylor personally pressed Elsie's fingers onto the sheet of white paper, one by one.

Elsie's face twisted with stubborn tears, as if Taylor were hurting her deliberately.

When all ten prints were done, she collapsed onto the ground dramatically, like she'd been shoved.

Taylor glanced at her coldly. "I'm not a man. Save the damsel act."

Paul turned his head and muttered under his breath, "Crazy woman…"

Taylor picked up Elsie's fingerprints and carefully compared them to the ones on the report.

Elsie's prints were indeed clear and smooth. It was completely different from the flawed one on the original sheet.

She glanced sideways at Elsie. Could I have wrongly accused her?

If so, the Kendall family had made a big scene over nothing.

Lily noticed her hesitation and pressed the advantage. "Ms. Taylor, there's no need to continue the investigation. Fingerprint scars like this can't be faked, especially not in such a short time."

Paul saw an opportunity and pounced. "Taylor, you've slandered someone's name, taken justice into your own hands, and deliberately humiliated her. You owe Elsie an apology and compensation."

Elsie, with a rag in her mouth, looked up at Paul with emotion sparkling in her eyes.

Paul pursed his lips. He knew Elsie had been wronged. Now was the time to fight for her justice.

Taylor was in an awkward position, but before she could speak, Yunice interrupted, "Mr. Paul, aren't you a little too eager to play the hero?"

Hero?

Both Gerardi and Kyla frowned, their gazes turning icy as they looked at Paul.

Just who exactly are you trying to defend?

Even Jensen and Jackson gave Paul a cold stare as a silent warning.

Say one more word for Elsie, and we won't let it slide.

Paul flushed with embarrassment and quickly returned to his seat, not daring to speak again.

Yunice reached out her hand. "You haven't tested mine yet."

Lily stepped forward. "There's no need… It's already clear who it was…"

Ms. Taylor raised her voice, cutting her off, "Madam Lily, you seem very eager for your daughter to be guilty."

Lily instantly looked awkward. "I…"

But Yunice's finger is injured. How could it not be her?
