Jane knitted her eyebrows in frustration, cursing Prisci deep down. Damn you, Prisci! You''re such a lousy teammate! I shouldn''t have gotten you to do the job! While everyone was still waiting to hear from Jane, she took a few steps and grabbed Jameson''s cor. "What do you think you''re doing, boy?!"


    In that instant, everyone turned their attention to the boy whom Jane was manhandling. Meanwhile, Jameson reacted puzzledly to thedy''s rough treatment as he answered, "I''m eating a cake..." However, Jane only angrily seized Jameson''s bag and questioned him. "Where did you get this bag? What''s inside?!"


    Soon, Selena quickly walked closer to defend her son. "Miss Oberlin, you''re a descendant of a noble aristocratic family, so wouldn''t you find it shameful to shout at a kid?" Then, she stood in front of Jameson and said, "This is my son, and I don''t know what he has done to deserve your wrath, Miss Oberlin." You may bully me all you want, but nobodyys a finger on my son, Jane! It seems that this matter is getting more and moreplicated.


    "Oh, I see. So this is your son? He''s got some guts to steal in our house!" Jane grunted indifferently.


    "Steal?" Selena turned her attention to Jameson, who was still enjoying his cake. "Miss Oberlin, we were discussing our dresses a few moments ago, and I could tell that you looked very serious, but now you''re using my son of stealing. What a dramatic turn of events!"


    Jane rolled her eyes at her and said, "One of our maids told me that something went missing in the house."


    "What has my son stolen?"


    Jane then pointed at the bag that Jameson was carrying and said, "The answer is inside his bag! It''s an Astorian ancient scroll that''s highly valuable! In fact, there were people who came all the way from Astoria a few years back to retrieve the scroll, but we turned them down back then. I can''t believe you''d be patriotic enough to send your child here to steal it, Mrs. Fowler."


    Selena then set her eyes on Jameson''s bag for a few seconds before realizing it was not the same one her son was carrying a few moments ago. Jameson''s got a bag with him, but this one doesn''t seem like his.


    "I dare you to open his bag!" Jane provoked.


    "Sure, I have nothing to hide anyway!" Selena then rummaged through the bag that Jameson was carrying shortly before she took an ancient scroll out of it.


    "Gotcha! Isn''t this what we call the smoking gun? Let''s see how you try to exin yourself out of this!"


    It seems that Jane isn''t happy that I got away with her false usation about giarism, so she is now counting on this one for revenge. At the thought of that, Selena calmly handed the ancient scroll overto Jameson and rubbed his head. "The s your


    smoking gun? Where


    evidence?"


    "Are you trying to y dumb here? The evidence is, of course, the book that he is holding!" Jane chuckled nonchntly and added, "Still trying to cover your tracks, huh?! I can''t believe you really taught your son to steal, Selena. What a ''decent'' family tradition!"


    Selena shook her head and


    exined, "You said this belongs to you, but how are you going to prove that? You used me ofExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    giarizing a few moments ago, but look how it ended up. So you''d better make sure you know what''sing out of your mouth. After all, you can''t just go around throwing usations at anyone as you like without any substantial evidence."


    Jane stood her ground and continued to argue. "This ancient scroll is, of course, ours! It has actually been a part of my father''s collection for ages!"


    Selena shrugged her shoulders calmly and asked, "Where is your proof?"


    "You...!" Jane was unable to show any evidence due to the ancient scroll''s unknown origin. After all, she didn''t dare to reveal its mysterious origin to everyone present.


    "If you can''t prove your suspicion, I''m going to go ahead and prove my son''s innocence. Let me show you why I say this thing belongs to him."


    Jane''s eyes widened in disbelief


    shortly before sheughed


    sarcastically. "You''ve gotta be


    kidding me, Selena! Are you here make us allugh?! You''re the first person I''ve ever seen to steal something and act like it''s yours from the start so shamelessly! Your family is not just full of thieves, but robbers as well!"
