Chapter 283


    “I don’t want to hear your excuse. You must pay the price forying a finger


    on my family!” Terence growled.


    The guests were terrified by his authority.


    Roselynn was surprised to see the usually friendly old man get angry. His


    authority and assertiveness resembled a lion, the king of beasts.


    “The golden jade phoenix is a gift from my grandson–inw to my


    granddaughter. Then, she gifted it to Roselynn. How dare you all use her


    of stealing your item?! You arrogant idiots! I’ll teach you a lesson today!”


    Terence red at the crowds.


    Nobody dared to say a word as they hung their heads low.


    The next moment, the security guards brought Jamison back to the crowd


    and shoved him to the ground. He fell next to Isaac.


    The hotel manager approached Terence with his head bowed. “Old Mr.


    Quillen, we looked up the surveince footage and found this guy sneaking


    into Mr. Lane and Ms. Selina’s room. He also left the room without drawing any


    attention. He tried to take advantage of the chaos to flee the hotel, but our


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    people caught him. We even found a ne on him.”


    At that, he took out a yellow ne from his pocket and presented it to


    Terence.


    “Ah! That’s my ne! It belongs to me!” Selina eximed.


    Realization dawned on Roselynn and she pointed a shaky finger at Jamison.


    A long whileter, she finally brought herself to scold him. “Wow! You again? A


    thief having the audacity to cry thief! You must have a death wish!”


    The discovery made her boil with anger.


    Everything had to do with her beloved cousin. Before this, he once tried to hire


    somebody to get rid of her and Emmanuel. Now, he stole somebody’s


    belongings and tried to me it on her.


    If it weren’t for Terence arriving in time, things would end badly for her.


    “Beat him up.” Upon noticing Roselynn’s flushed cheeks, udette waited no


    more and ordered her men to teach Jamison a lesson.


    Before Jamison could speak, a punchnded on his face and smashed his


    teeth.


    At that moment, a thief like him no longer deserved to defend himself.


    After appraising the ne, Terence concluded, “Ms. Selina, your ne


    is a counterfeit. It’s not the work of Mr. Cline. Judging from its material and


    craftsmanship, it isn’t even worth 30 thousand.”


    The statement made the crowd go wild.


    Nobody expected such a dramatic oue.


    The fake daughter of a wealthy family is wearing a counterfeit that isn’t even


    worth 30 thousand?! However, she dares use another woman, who wears


    the real thing, of stealing her cheap ne. She even used force on an


    innocent woman!


    The truth was out. Selina could feel the crowd’s eyes on her as they despised


    and mocked her. The thought caused her body to shake.


    As she refused to ept the truth, she threw a tantrum. “That’s impossible!


    No way! Mr. Lane bought it for me for 30 million!”


    “Wake up, you vain woman!”


    Jessica decided to jump at the opportunity to stand up for Roselynn. “The real


    rich daughter here is Roselynn. As for you, you are nothing but a poor woman


    who shows off her counterfeit around. You’re just aughingstock and a


    clown!”


    “N–No! Whom are you calling a poor woman? I’m not making a joke of


    myself.” Selina was in denial.


    I’m just a victim of Isaac’s lies from the very beginning!


    However, Isaac didn’t dare to speak up. The crowd needed no more words as


    the truth was already presented to them.


    Usually, Roselynn would’ve pped Selina. However, she changed her mind


    at the sight of the miserable woman. A woman like her deserves a mental


    punishment. It’s more effective than hurting her physically.


    “That’s it. There’s nothing interesting around here. Get back to work.” Terence


    waved his hand to dismiss the crowd. He decided that he had enough


    attention for today.
