When Lemira said this, everyone in the room shot her looks of contempt.
Susanna herself became even more arrogant. "Lemira, have you lost your mind? Now that you've been caught red-handed, you're resorting to wild accusations?"
Luckily, the party hadn't officially started yet, and the Everhart family hadn't arrived.
No one could save Lemira now.
"That's right, Lemmy. Ms. Susanna Sinclair is not an unreasonable person. If you just admit your mistake and return the item, maybe the Sinclair family won't press charges, and you can avoid jail time."
Evelina wouldn't miss such a perfect opportunity to grind that bitch Lemira into the dirt.
Susanna added mockingly, "Lemira, if you confess to stealing and apologize to me, I'll consider not pressing charges. After all, this is the Waverlys' party. It wouldn't be appropriate to get the police involved."
Mrs. Waverly frowned at Lemira. "Ms. Langston, if you want to get out of this, you should admit your mistake now. For Stella's and Asher's sake, I will make sure you don't go to jail."
Susanna's friends started chanting, "Confess, confess, confess!"
Lemira let out a soft laugh as she looked at Mrs. Waverly. "I did not steal Susanna's bracelet."
"You didn't steal it, you just found my property and intended to keep it for yourself. That's still stealing."
Susanna had anticipated this defense and had her rebuttal ready.
Lemira raised her eyes slightly. "Susanna, you and your friends surrounded me and deliberately planted this bracelet in my bag to frame me for theft. Are all of you Sinclairs this dirty?"
Susanna's expression turned unnatural. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who found my property and refused to return it."
Mrs. Waverly was growing impatient. "Lemira, you claim you're innocent. Do you have any proof?"
"I do. I never make claims I can't back up."
Lemira's gaze was icy as she glanced pointedly at Susanna and Evelina.
