Chapter 1198
Since Marcos could betray all her feelings, then she would show him how cruel she could be with this b*tch!
The hound walked around the banquet hall and finally returned to their table.
Strangely enough, the hound had been pacing back and forth by Laura's side, but had not made a move.
Lainey was a little anxious, wondering if the hound's nose was malfunctioning.
While she was thinking, the hound walked right towards her.
First, the hound was only pacing up and down around her but after sniffing a bit, its claw raised up right at Lainey's purse.
With this, everyone present knew what was going on.
Lainey's face was full of shock. She got up in a hurry as the purse dropped to the ground.
With a crispy loud sound, something rolled out of it.
And it was the shiny necklace.
As soon as Lainey saw it, she only felt dizzy and difficult to breathe.
"You... Lainey, how could you? I knew it couldn't have disappeared so suddenly!"
"You are a sheer disgrace to the Gardner family!"
Charlotte was not stupid. Aleigha's sudden consolation made her confused for a while, but now the truth came out.
She immediately knew what was going on.
"It's not me. It's not me. Why should I steal your necklace? It's you. You set me up, didn't you!"
Lainey completely lost it and snapped at everyone present.
Windy understood and gave a wink to the security guards. Two security guards came forward and took Lainey out directly.
"Everyone, I'm truly sorry for what you have had to witness. The auction, I presume, will be ending now. I do hope to make it up to you with the coming banquet."
Windy just followed Aleigha's words, but she didn't expect that this would happen.
Charlotte went to visit Windy with Aleigha.
As soon as they met, Aleigha bowed her head and admitted her mistake. "Grandma, Mrs. Woods, I'm really sorry,
"But I would still like to thank you for doing this for me today." "Aleigha, good girl, we know there must be a pretty good reason that you did this and we'd like to know about it in detail."
As it turned out, Aleigha was alarmed as soon as Charlotte said that the necklace was missing early in the morning.
She thought that if Lainey was the one who snatched the necklace, she was sure to plant it on her.
She didn't change her mind until Laura came back and Lainey insisted on sitting in the same car with them. By then, Aleigha realized that her target was Laura.
Yet the innocent Laura didn't have a clue about how vicious Lainey could be.
Aleigha got out of the car after them. As soon as she touched Laura's purse, she felt the necklace.
She took out the necklace and stuffed it into Lainey's purse.
Lainey had never dreamed that Aleigha would turn the tables on her. She had thought that her plan was flawless.
Aleigha asked Windy to act with her. As soon as the auction began, she announced that the necklace was a part of the items.
Aleigha knew that the Woods family kept a lot of trained hounds around.
So she asked Windy to bring one over to catch Lainey red-handed.
Under the watchful eyes of the people present, no explanation could get her away.
After hearing Aleigha's story, Charlotte actually broke out in a cold sweat. "This vicious woman wants to ruin Laura's reputation." "And then she would have Marcos kick her out!"
"And if Laura didn't come along today, she would have done the same thing to Aleigha! What a snake!"
Windy also sighed. "Fortunately, we've turned the situation, all thanks to our clever Aleigha."
After discussing, the three of them returned to the hall where the people were still whispering to one another. Seeing Aleigha come out, Laura hurried up.
"Aleigha, what on earth happened?" Laura was scared, and the hand holding Aleigha's hand was cold.
Aleigha looked at her with a faint smile, and her eyes were full of gentleness. "It's all right. Leave it all to the police."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Samastrolled back and forth in
the hall, digging at every kind of
she
up the
would find as she puzzled d
whole thing that had just happened.
It seemed like the Gardner family was way more complicated than she had imagined.
Windy called the police on Lainey, showing no mercy at all.
It was eight o'clock in the evening when the whole family got home.
Marcos sat on the sofa in the hall. As soon as he saw Laura coming in, he got up and walked over.
"How was it? Did you like what you saw? You will be participating in many more of these in the future."
It seemed that he still didn't know what had happened to Lainey.
"Marcos, didn't the police call you?" Charlotte was very curious. How could Marcos not know about it up until now?
The police? Marcos was a little confused.
Charlotte was so angry that she threw the handbag on the ground and scolded him.
Marcos blushed from the scolding and felt ashamed.
"Aunt, calm down." Laura came forward to comfort her. After all, Marcos was her husband.
She could not watch her backer suffer too much.
"Forget it, forget it. Deal with it all you want. I'm going upstairs."
Charlotte stormed upstairs.
"Aleigha, did she really do it?" Although Marcos was disappointed with Lainey, he did not believe that she would do such a thing as stealing.
To his surprise, Aleigha nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's true."
"Shameless, disgraceful creature! A disgrace, a sheer shame of the Gardner family! I will divorce her! Aye, see if I will!"
Emilia heard the noise and walked down. She looked at Aleigha with gloomy eyes.
"What are you doing down here?" When Marcos heard the sound of footsteps and saw that it was Emilia.
He let out all his anger.
"Dad, you'd rather believe these two batches than my mother, you own wife?"
"You've lost all your marbles, the way I see it!"
At first, Marcos didn't believe it either, but now that so many people had seen it, how could he not?
"Me losing my marbles? Aye, exactly! Otherwise, I wouldn't have married her and have had you, a wh*re of a daughter!"
"How dare she be so shameless to have stolen from your own family!"
Emilia was speechless and only looked at Aleigha with resentment in her eyes.
"From tomorrow on, you and that b*tch of a mother of yours will be exiled from this house! Don't let me ever see your faces, neither of you!" "And when the time comes, I will divorce her!"
Emilia was stunned petrified. She bit her lower lip and did not allow herself to cry.
Everything she counted on, her family, her future, was all ruined just because of the sudden appearance of that b*tch!
"Dad, pray excuse me." Aleigha did not want to see the father and
daughter confronting each oth net
anymore. She said goodbye and went upstairs.
"B*tch." Emilia looked as Aleigha went upstairs and the rage in her heart finally mounted to a peak that she could no longer hold back.
She raised her hand, wanting to slap Aleigha, when her warning the other day came to mind.
A mocking sneer appeared on the corner of Aleigha's lips. Giving Emilia a sidelong glance, she went back to her room.
The police had interrogated Lainey for an entire night. She was tortured so much by the fatigue that she confessed to the crime.
She knew that she had lost this
battle. If she wanted to turn over she would have to rely on the atmost impossible chance that Emilia married Adrian.
She knew how greedy Marcos was. Only by relying on Adrian could he restore the Gardner family's status.
No one bailed Lainey out, and she was transferred to the detention center to be detained for ten days.
