Matthew <b>snorted</b>, his once gentle countenance now etched with severity.
“Mr. Nightingale, can someone who relied on financial support from others truly be Innocent?
“Listen, Mr. Nightingale, the most deceptive feature of a woman is her appearance. Don’t let a seemingly pure and innocent face fool you. I don’t believe Willow is Innocent. But if she proves me wrong<b>, </b>I’ll let her
have her way with me!“.
“Eric, pull up the footage!”n instructed.
He had been anticipating those words from Matthew.
His trust in her was like a puzzle that even his highly regarded intellect couldn’t solve. Yet, he found pleasure in this enigma.
Renowned for his efficiency, Eric swiftly retrieved the footage from the wardrobe room and uploaded it to the video yer connected to therge LCD screen in the hall. As the yer turned on, the scene from the wardrobe room was disyed on the screen.
The footage showed Willow entering the changing room to switch outfits. She had hung her handbag on a rack just outside the changing room. Wilhelmina’s handbag sat on a nearby table.
Willow was thest person to step into the changing room. By then, almost everyone had left for the hall, leaving the wardrobe room deserted.
Just as it seemed Willow might use this opportunity to steal the bracelet from Wilhelmina’s bag, the door to the wardrobe room, which was ajar, suddenly swung open wide. J slipped in, looking extremely
suspicious.
J’s expression shifted dramatically when she saw herself on the LCD screen.
Forgetting to maintain her elegance, she shouted anxiously, “Turn it off! Turn it off, now!”

As the video continued, J grew more and more panicked. She stood up, ready to rush over and stop the yer. Yet, Eric politely and firmly stood in her way, stopping her from reaching the LCD screen.
The rest of the people in the hall quickly understood the events, as J’s actions only made them more suspicious. They focused even more on the screen to confirm their suspicions.
After ensuring the wardrobe room was deserted, J tiptoed inside. She quickly retrieved the emerald bracelet from Wilhelmina’s bag and ced it into Willow’s bag.
In the footage, everyone saw J slip the bracelet into Willow’s bag and fold a stack of papers before tucking them in. She then carefully zipped up Willow’s bag.

“It’s <b>not </b>what it looks like! That’s not what happened<b>!</b>”
The video had <b>just </b>finished ying, but the female celebrities in the hall continued to stare at the now- dark screen with disbelief written all over their faces. After a brief, stunned silence, the hall erupted into furious grumbles.
“How could this happen? We’ve all been so harsh on Willow, calling her shameless, but the real culprit
was someone else!”
“This is unbelievable. She acted so righteous, yet she was secretly setting someone else up. Yuck, this is quite an eye–opener!”
“I think the person who should be banned isn’t Willow, but J, that shameless schemer. She was sitting right next to me. How disgusting!”
