Chapter 160 They Are Trying to Hurt Me

"It's just a bracelet. Why can't I afford it?" Hazel's eyes were red with anger.

"Let me tell you, that bracelet costs tens of millions. Even if you have enough money, you may not be able to buy it! Mrs. Cole, you'd better hand over the bracelet quickly, or we will call the police!"

"A bracelet costs tens of millions? Are you kidding?!" A middle-aged woman said, "Young girl, your cheating skills are so poor. It would be best to be happy with a few hundred bucks, but you're asking for tens of millions. You're so greedy!"

Eloise had no experience in cursing like a shrew, and her fair face flushed with anger. Charlotte held her hand and comforted her softly, "Calm down."

Eloise said, "Charlotte! That's a jade bracelet worth tens of millions!"

...Mr. Clark had put it on her himself.

Charlotte looked at Hazel. She thought that if Nelson found out the bracelet was missing when she returned, he would probably press her down and kiss her. Hazel was going to suffer. She had never seen Nelson deal with people with her own eyes, but thinking of the screams from Malus Garden that night...

Charlotte felt that she should give Hazel a hand.

She said calmly, "Mrs. Cole, since you refuse to admit it, we will call the police."

"...Are you calling the police?" Eloise asked in a low voice, "Will the police believe us?"

Charlotte said, "There is surveillance in the community. I wore that bracelet when I came here, but now it is gone. This is evidence. I think the police will build a case and look into it."

Hearing Charlotte's words, Hazel immediately panicked. She gritted her teeth and cried loudly, "Ms. Lopez, why are you framing me like this?! I didn't steal anything from you. If I did, I would compensate you at any cost. Don't wrongly accuse me of stealing your things!"

Hazel's neighbors immediately couldn't bear it anymore and accused Charlotte one after another, "Young girl; you will suffer more if you call the police. Don't go too far. You should go quickly!"

"You are so young but have such a vicious heart. Only her husband works to earn money for her family, and they have two children to raise. How can you bear to cheat their family?"

"You are so cruel! Get out of our neighborhood! Even if the police come, we won't be afraid! Hazel would never do such a thing!"

"How dare you say that you have a bracelet worth tens of millions? If it costs tens of millions, would you wear it all day? If it were me, I would keep it in a safe! Get out of here. Stop embarrassing yourself!"

"Hazel, don't cry. A clean hand needs no washing. We all believe in you."

"..."

Eloise was so angry that she glared at Hazel bitterly. Then she took out her phone and was about to call the police when the middle-aged woman stepped forward and dragged her outside, "Shame on you! Get out of here!" Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hey!" Eloise yelled, "What are you doing?! I'm going to sue you for assault!"

But it was useless. The neighbors dragged Charlotte and Eloise out the door with all their might. Watching how miserable and embarrassed Charlotte and Eloise were, Hazel sneered secretly.

"What are you doing?" There suddenly came a cold female voice.

The voice sounded young, but it was pretty coercive. The neighbors instantly stopped and turned to look.

It was a girl wearing a black T-shirt and overalls with slightly squinted eyes. Her beautiful face was cold and unhappy, and she was holding a shopping bag in her hand.

Eloise quickly shouted, "Cecilia! They are trying to hurt me!"

Everyone froze.

Cecilia pushed away the crowd, rescued Charlotte from the hands of a middle-aged woman, and asked her, "What's going on?"

Cecilia looked like a proud and wealthy young lady, which scared them at first glance. No one dared to move.

Eloise hurriedly told Cecilia what had happened. Cecilia glanced at Charlotte's wrist with nothing on it, raised her hand, and gave Charlotte a tap on the forehead. She sighed, "Are you stupid or something? She put on such a big show to get your bracelet."

Eloise's mouth opened wide, "You mean she spilled juice on Char on purpose?"

"She even scared you on purpose," Cecilia said.

Charlotte had also realized it but hadn't said it aloud. She covered her head and whispered, "I didn't know she was going to steal my bracelet."

Cecilia glanced at Charlotte helplessly before she turned to look at Hazel with a cold expression, "Ms., you'd better hand over the bracelet quickly, or you will regret it."

Hazel said with tears, "I didn't steal it!"

With someone backing her up, Eloise became more confident, "You didn't steal it? How could the bracelet be gone if you didn't steal it? Arthur was next to us then, and you were the only one who returned to your room. Who else could it be if you weren't you? Stop lying!"

Hazel was about to burst into tears to win sympathy when she suddenly heard someone talking on the phone.

Charlotte said politely on the phone, "Hello, I need to report a crime."

Hazel was shocked.

Others were shocked, too.

Eloise said, "Charlotte, you are a giant in action."

Charlotte briefly explained the situation and asked the police to come over immediately.

When Hazel saw that they had called the police, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and cursed them secretly.

"I know where the bracelet is." Arthur, who had come over at some point, suddenly said.

Hazel's face immediately turned gloomy, and she looked at Arthur with warning eyes.

Arthur knew that when the door was closed, he would be beaten by his stepmother again.

Hazel had never hit him somewhere that could not be covered by clothes. Although he looked normal outside, his body under the clothes was covered with bruises and scars.

Just yesterday, Hazel had whipped him hard with a belt and told him to be obedient today, or she would beat him and the dog his mother had left him to death. Arthur was scared and had to give in.

But...

Looking at Charlotte's beautiful face, he closed his eyes.

He didn't want this angelic young girl to be wronged.

Arthur pursed his lips and walked into Hazel's room, "It's in the safe."

Hazel's face was livid and could even be described as ferocious, "Arthur! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Arthur lowered his head and said, "I'm not talking nonsense."

Seeing Hazel's angry face, Eloise quickly pulled Arthur over, fearing that Hazel would hurt Arthur. Eloise said, "Well, since you said you didn't steal Char's bracelet, why don't you open the safe to prove your innocence?"

Hazel clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could kill Arthur now!

This little scourge! He knew where she had put the bracelet!

A young man among the onlookers said, "Mrs. Cole, why don't you open the safe and take a look to prove your innocence?"

How could Hazel open the safe? Once the safe was opened, her crime would be exposed!

Another middle-aged woman disagreed, "What are you talking about? If Hazel didn't steal, why should she open the safe? What if someone targets things in the safe?"
