Chapter 21 I Believe You

"This is my diamond ring!" Brittany was very excited and looked at Nora with great disdain. "Nora, you stole it! Now that all the stolen goods are available and all the witness and material evidence are available, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing that the diamond ring was really in her bag, Nora still looked calm and did not respond.

This was what she expected.

The moment the waiter testified against her, Nora was sure that the diamond ring must be in her bag.

She was framed.

And obviously, the person who planted the frame was Brittany.

"Nora if you just gave me back the diamond ring and apologized to me, I could let bygones be bygones." Brittany suddenly saw Asher and her voice was soft, which was different from the arrogant appearance just now.

"Brittany, you are too kind. She absolutely can't be tolerated! Just call the police and let the police handle it. That is fair." Lany and Brittany were cooperating so well.

Brittany nodded. "Then, call the police."

"Nora, you deserve it. Stealing such a valuable thing is no petty crime. Wait for jail!" Ashley's eyes flashed with pride and now she was trying to get rid of the relationship with Nora.

Nora was still calm as if it was not her who was being pointed at the moment.

Call the police?

Just to her liking.

In front of the police, it was more interesting to expose Brittany for framing her.

"What is it?"

A familiar man's voice pulled back Nora's thoughts.

Looking up, what caught her eye was Asher's tall and straight figure.

The well-cut suit outlines his perfect posture incisively and vividly. His face was handsome and aggressive, and his deep eyes were sharp. The lights of the banquet hall plated his whole body with a layer of gold, and his whole body aura was so strong that people couldn't help bowing.

"Asher!"

The crowd retreated to both sides and gave way to a road automatically. Asher came to Nora with steady steps.

"Asher, Nora stole my diamond ring." The wicked in Brittany complained first and bit her lips wronged. "It was a birthday present from Grandpa."

Asher frowned and his thin lips slightly lifted. "It won't be her."

Hmm?

Nora was surprised. Asher... was defending her?

"Brother, don't be fooled by her!" Before Brittany could speak again, Ashley said first, "Someone saw Nora steal Brittany's diamond ring. Just now the security guard also found this diamond ring from Nora's bag. So many of us and so many pairs of eyes saw it!"

"Yes, in fact, I don't believe Nora will steal either. After all, she is your fiancee. But..."

Brittany paused halfway and leaned against Asher, looking pitiful and delicate. "In full view of the public, we all saw my diamond ring in her bag. Can't the diamond ring run in by itself? Asher, you won't take sides with Nora, will you?"

Nora stood calmly. It was a pity that Brittany did not become an actor for her acting skills. Otherwise, she would have won the Oscar.

After listening to Brittany's words, Asher's deep eyes fell on Nora and asked faintly, "Did you take it?"

Nora looked at his eyes and smiled. "If I say no, do you believe it?"

"I do." Almost without thinking, Asher blurted out.

Her eyes were magnanimous, and she couldn't pretend to be confident and aboveboard. He was willing to believe her.

Nora smiled, but Asher was willing to believe her when she was accused and wronged.

"Brother!" Ashley stamped her feet angrily. She didn't understand what's so good about this poor girl. Could she fascinate Asher?

"You didn't take it, how did the ring get into your bag?" After receiving Brittany's wink, Lany asked Nora.

Nora looked directly at Brittany and hooked her lips. "Of course, someone planted it."

Nora's eyes were sharp, and Brittany felt inexplicable guilty.

How did she know?

No way!

Her plan was flawless and couldn't go wrong. Nora would wait to go to prison!

"To adjust the monitoring." Asher's handsome face sank and he ordered his assistant Clark.

"Yes." Clark nodded and went to the monitoring room.

Nora also realized that. The hall of the banquet hall was equipped with monitoring. As long as they looked at the monitoring, they could know who took Brittany's ring.

However, since Brittany deliberately set up such a trap to frame her, how could it be easy for people to watch the monitoring?

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Clark came back. "President, the monitoring of the banquet hall is broken."

"Broken?" Asher narrowed his eyes slightly and his face was expressionless.

There was something strange about it.

The hotel must attach great importance to the birthday party in Steph. How could it happen to be so coincidental that the monitoring was broken?

Nora wrinkled. "It is very simple. If I took it, there will be my fingerprint on this ring. Just ask a professional to check the fingerprint and the truth will come out."

"Nora, don't pretend to be mysterious." Brittany looked at Nora and then at Asher, pretending to be generous. "Well, if you apologize to me, then I won't pursue it for Asher's sake."

As long as Nora apologized to her, it meant Nora stole her ring and admitted that she was a thief in front of so many people.

Even if Asher just said she believed her, Asher would be disappointed if she admitted it herself.

What's more, Mrs. Howe would not let a thief be her wife.

Brittany could also be kind-hearted and improve her position in Asher's mind.

Nora took a glance at her and said calmly, "What? You don't want to check it out."

Nora's eyes seemed to have a penetrating power. Brittany was stared at uncomfortably and bit her teeth. "Nora, since you have to check fingerprints, why should I dare not?"

"Well, then the police will come and find out." Nora was calm.

She didn't touch the diamond ring, so naturally, there won't be her fingerprint on it, so long as she has a test, she can prove her innocence.

"Asher, look..." Howard looked at Asher with questioning eyes. After all, Nora was his nominal fiancee.

Asher made a phone call, and soon the police chief personally brought his colleagues from the forensics department to the banquet hall.

"Asher, this is the best colleague in our forensic department." The Secretary pushed the forensic colleagues forward and said respectfully.
