    Chapter 1384 Finding the Culprit


    Tessa turned pale when she heard that. I can’t imagine what would have happened if my gown


    snapped on stage! Who was it that was trying tond me in trouble?


    Everyone thought the same way as Tessa did and beganmenting.


    “This is such an evil act to do.”


    “Why would someone do such a thing?”


    As everyone started buzzing about this, the captain raised his voice and said, “The costumes of all


    performers today are provided by royalty. Miss Reinhart’s gown, in particr, was extremely valuable


    and cost millions. Hence, I hope everyone here can cooperate with our investigation.”


    “Of course, we will. Please investigate thoroughly, captain,” said someone in the crowd.


    After all, since the captain had already said so, no one else could refuse even if they didn’t want to be


    investigated.


    At that point, Elisa, who was among those present, started to panic.


    Standing next to her was her assistant, who also had a worried expression on her face.


    “What should we do now? Will we be found out?” Elisa’s assistant fearfully tugged on Elisa’s sleeve


    and inquired softly.


    With a frown, Elisa shook off her assistant’s hand. “Don’t freak out. They’re only investigating and have


    no proof yet. Calm down,” she responded.


    She said nothing more and ignored her assistant.


    The guards then began their interrogation.


    It was soon Elisa’s turn.


    “Miss Elisa, please tell me where you were before the celebration began and if you saw any


    suspicious-looking figures,” one guard asked.


    Elisa shook her head, her expression calm. “I didn’t see anyone suspicious. I was in the dressing room


    the entire time chit-chatting with the others, so I didn’t notice anything else. I know nothing about this


    matter.”


    The guard then nodded and turned his attention to Elisa’s assistant, who tried hard to remain calm


    while answering in the same manner as Elisa.


    “I have no idea about this as well. I was taking care of Elisa at the time and paid no attention to my


    surroundings.”


    Thinking that neither of them appeared to be lying, the guard then moved on to the next step. “We need


    to check your personal belongings now.”

    “Sure.” Elisa and her assistant were in no position to refuse and had no choice but to hand over their


    purses to the guard.


    The guard then took everything in their bags out in front of them for inspection.


    Although they had a lot of things in their bags, the guard thoroughly searched through everything and


    selected all sharp items.


    A few secondster, a utility knife was discovered in the assistant’s bag. This was the crucial evidence.


    There was a sequin on the knife that matched the sequins on


    Tessa’s original gown.


    The assistant noticed this too. She became so terrified that her eyes widened in fear and her face


    turned pale.


    “Seize her!” the captain ordered coldly without waiting for an exnation.


    The rest of the guards immediately rushed forward and held onto her.


    That rendered the assistant so frightened that her legs wobbled. If it hadn’t been for the guards holding


    her, she would have slumped to her knees right now. She shook her head and yelled, “It was not me! I


    didn’t do that!”
