Chapter 7


    Back home, the living room had a lively atmosphere as the other four members of the Winthrop Family


    were there, including Margot. Another young woman about the same age as Elspeth was also sitting on


    the couch. She wore a dress with a suit and she seemed to be a youngdy from a wealthy family.


    “Callum, you’re home. Come, sit. Ophelia returned today and came straight over after her flight


    landed.” The woman rose to her feet to greet Callum. However, he responded coldly, which caused a


    disappointed expression on her face. Then, she looked at Elspeth and said, “You must be Elspeth,


    right? I’m Ophelia Fleming, and I grew up with Callum and the others. We’re friends from now on, so


    we can hang whenever you’re bored.” Ophelia heard from her conversation with the others earlier that


    Elspeth was beautiful, but she did not expect her to be this beautiful. Her bare face looked fair and


    wless, which every woman would envy. Meanwhile, Elspeth had seen through her thoughts and


    replied tly, “Sure.” At that moment, Theodore returned as well. The Fleming Family and Winthrop


    Family had been friends for centuries, so he was naturally polite to Ophelia. While the others were


    happily chatting, Elspeth was sitting on the side, waiting for dinner to start. Then, Margot said, “By the


    way, Ophelia, I knew you wereing back and I specially bought some things for you. Let me head


    upstairs to get them.” First, she went upstairs, then she came back down and questioned Theodore


    unhappily. “Where’s the box of jewelry I just bought and ced in the drawer?” “How would I know?”


    asked Theodore. She then turned to her five sons. “Did any of you take it?” They all shook their heads.


    “That’s strange. Did it grow wings and fly away?” Then, Ophelia carefully suggested, “Mrs. Winthrop,


    could someone have stolen it?” “Who has the guts to steal something from me? You’d better give it


    back and leave the Winthrop Residence this instant, or else, you’ll be living in a dungeon cell!” Seeing


    no one admitted it, Margot ordered, “Mr. Graham, search every room in this house.” Meanwhile,


    Elspeth, who was ying on her phone, was instantly intrigued when she heard that. An hourter, the


    butler brought a few people and searched through all the servants’ rooms, but they did not find the lost


    set of jewelry. Then, the butler hesitantly asked, “Mrs. Winthrop, besides the servants’ rooms, we


    haven’t searched through Miss Lynwood’s room.” At that moment, a servant stood up and used,


    “Mrs. Winthrop, Miss Lynwood just happened to pass by when we discussed the broken surveinceBelonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    camera yesterday. This afternoon, I saw hering out of you and Mr. Winthrop’s room.” Her words


    proved that Elspeth knew about the broken surveince camera and had gone into the master


    bedroom, which made her look very suspicious. Hearing that, Margot was instantly enraged. “Elspeth! I


    was wondering why you didn’t ept the bank card from Theodore yesterday. You act aloof on the


    surface and do such heinous things in the dark! Mr. Graham, search her room.” Theodore immediately


    rose to his feet and argued, “Nonsense! Elsie wouldn’t do such a thing.” “How is that nonsense?


    Theodore, do you think you know her well? What can’t people from small towns like her do? She was


    alone at home all afternoon yesterday, so she’s very suspicious!” Meanwhile, Elspeth kept a stoic face


    whileforting Theodore, “It’s alright, Mr. Winthrop. Let them search the room.” Ever since this


    incident began, she knew someone had nned this just for her. As for who the culprit was, she was


    going to find out soon. While the butler led a few servants to search Elspeth’s room, the rest of them


    remained seated on the couch. Then, Elspeth pointed at the servant who used her and asked,


    “What’s your name?” I’ve never entered Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop’s room, so why did she frame me?
