When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 643

Lemira looked at Susanna, her expression calm and unruffled. "You're saying I stole your bracelet? Do you have any proof?"

"What proof do I need? I just went to the food section, and when I came back, my antique bracelet was gone from my wrist. You two were the only outsiders there. If you didn't take it, who did?"

Susanna spoke with such conviction, all but branding Lemira a thief.

Stella was the first to snap. "Susanna, are you out of your mind? I was at the food section too. Does that make me a thief?"

Susanna scoffed. "Of course you're not a thief. You don't need to steal things like that. But some people are different. Country bumpkins who've never seen anything nice."

Stella's face flushed with anger. "Susanna, if you say one more ridiculous thing, you can leave my birthday party. You're not welcome here!"

"Stella, don't be rash."

Mrs. Waverly finally stepped forward and glanced at Stella. "Ms. Susanna Sinclair is our guest. How can you talk about kicking someone out? You're being so childish."

Stella's eyes welled up with frustrated tears. "But Lemira and Oanice are my friends, whom I personally invited. Susanna just accused them of being thieves in front of everyone. Isn't that going too far?"

Did anyone here not know what Susanna was like?

"Stella, you can't blame Ms. Susanna Sinclair for being suspicious. It is quite a coincidence. She just wanted to ask Ms. Lemira if she happened to see an antique emerald bracelet."

Mrs. Waverly looked at Lemira, but her eyes held a clear look of disdain.

Lemira knew from the start that Mrs. Waverly looked down on her. So, would Mrs. Waverly really be happy with Asher marrying into the family?

Something was definitely off.

Lemira gave Mrs. Waverly a faint, mocking smile. "Since you've put it that way, I'll answer your question: I haven't seen any bracelet."

After she spoke, Mrs. Waverly's expression clearly soured. She was obviously not satisfied with that answer.

But what could she do? Did they expect her to confess to a crime she didn't commit?
