Chapter 7 Slander
Back home, the living room was very lively. The other four members of the Smith Family were all there, including Auntie Smith.
There was a woman about the same age as Cassie on the sofa. She was wearing a suit and looked like a rich lady.
“Did Javen come back? Come here quickly. Kittie just returned today from abroad and just got off the plane. She just got here.”
The woman stood up with a smile and greeted Javen. The man responded faintly, which made her look a little disappointed. Then he looked at Cassie and said with a smile, “You are Cassie, right? Hello, I am Kittie Tamah. I grew up with Javen and his friends. We will be friends in the future. If you are bored in San Francisco, you can come to me.”
Kittie had heard earlier that Cassie was pretty, but she didn’t expect her to be this pretty. Her face was flawless. Which woman wouldn’t be jealous?
Cassie had already seen through a woman’s thoughts. She said lightly, “Okay.”
At this moment, Uncle Smith also returned. The Smith family and Tamah family had been friends for generations, so Uncle Smith was very polite to Kittie.
The few of them were happily chatting and Cassie sat by the side, waiting for the meal to start.
Right then, Auntie Smith said, “I heard that you were coming back a few days ago, so I went shopping and bought you a lot of things. I’ll fetch them for you.”
Auntie Smith went upstairs, but when she came down, she asked her husband with a displeased expression, “Where’s the set of jewelry I just bought from the cabinet?”
“How would I know?” Uncle Smith asked.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Auntie Smith looked at her five sons. “Did you take anything?”
They all shook their heads.
“That’s really strange. Did it fly away?”
Kittie said carefully, “Auntie, it couldn’t have been stolen, right?”
“Who has the guts to do that? It’s not too late to hand over the item and get out of the Smith family. Otherwise, you can just wait to go to jail!”
Seeing that no one admitted to it, Auntie Smith immediately said to the housekeeper, “Give the rooms a careful search.”
Cassie was playing with her phone, and when she heard that, she was immediately interested.
An hour later, the housekeeper led the servants to search the rooms, but they didn’t find the lost jewelry.
Mr. Morrison hesitated and said, “Madam, we haven’t searched Miss Garsia’s room”
At this time, a servant also stood up and said, “Madam, Miss Garsia happened to pass by when we were discussing yesterday when the surveillance camera broke. In the afternoon, I even saw her coming out of your room.”
These words directly proved that Cassie knew that the surveillance camera was broken, but she still went to Uncle Smith and Auntie Smith’s room. She was very suspicious.
Auntie Smith’s face was filled with anger when she heard this.
“Cassie, is this why you give up Uncle Smith’s card yesterday? Why did you do such a despicable thing? Housekeeper, search her room for me.”
Uncle Smith immediately stood up and said, “Nonsense, how could Cas be that kind of person?”
“Why not? Dave Smith, how much do you know about her? She came from a small village! Yesterday afternoon, she was alone at home. She is very suspicious!”
Cassie’s face was as calm as still water. She said indifferently, “It’s okay. Uncle Smith, let them search the room.”
From the beginning, Cassie realized that this was a conspiracy against her. As for who was behind it, she would soon know.
The housekeeper took the servant to Cassie’s room. Others were still sitting on the sofa. Cassie looked at the servant who pointed at her and asked in a cold voice, “What’s your name?”
She had never been in the room of Uncle Smith and Auntie Smith. Why would this person slander her?
