The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President

Hearing Amelia 's words, Evelyn knew that she was tending to make some trouble, she cut in on her immediately.

"That's too much, that's not what I meant." She said.

Then looked at the cold-faced Sophia and said with a smile, "I just hope you can give Arlene a chance to defend herself."

Sophia stared at Evelyn without saying anything.

Evelyn did not give in and stared back at Sophia.

The atmosphere in the living room was very tense for a while.

The daughter-in-law VS mother-in-law thing worried housekeeper Jones a lot.

She stepped forward, went behind Evelyn, persuaded her in a low voice, "Miss Evelyn, forget about this, you don't have to piss Sophia off because of Arlene, it's bad for your future life."

Evelyn gave her a look, she knew the meaning of those words and felt touched.

At least she was thinking about her future.

But this was something serious. Evelyn had to clear it or those women would say bad words about her behind her back.

In that case, her future life wouldn't be easier either.

"Stay out of this, I can't let people say the Davis steal things."

She patted the housekeeper Jones' hand and motioned her to stand aside.

Housekeeper Jones had to do so.

Evelyn turned around and looked back at Sophia and said, "Since mom didn't object, I'll take that as a yes."

Ignoring how dissatisfied Sophia looked, Evelyn said, " Amelia, I have a few questions to ask you, I hope you can answer them truthfully. Of course, if you want to settle this thing as everyone else, don't refuse to answer them." After Evelyn dropped those words, Amelia had no reason to refuse to answer her questions, she had to hold her mood and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"Very simple. I just want to know if you remember where the bracelet was?"

Amelia thought Evelyn would ask some tricky questions, she didn't expect such a simple question and replied without a hesitation, "It was on the table of course."

"The dressing table or the tea table?"

Evelyn asked again.

"Dressing table."

Amelia still answered her thoughtlessly.

"Good, Arlene, did you see the bracelet on the dressing table when you went to deliver the drinks?"

Evelyn clapped her hands and asked Arlene.

Arlene shook her head and said, "No, I put the drinks on the tea table at that time and never went to the dressing table."

Hearing this, Evelyn turned around and asked fiercely," Amelia, what else do you have to say?"

Amelia felt a rush in her heart.

She didn't expect that bitch tricked her in this way.

She resisted panic and said, " I... I may have mis took it. That's right, I remember putting the bracelet on the tea table. OK?"

Evelyn despised that Amelia argued irrationally.

"You sure have a good memory, but it matters the innocence of Arlene. Why don't you think it over?"

She made a pointed opening which made Amelia mad.

"Evelyn, you seem to mistake the point. We're interrogating your maid about stealing things. How did you interrogate me instead?"

She said angrily, "I see, you're favoring one of your own. In that case, let's call the police! Even if the bracelet is out of fashion, it is made of diamond, and with the certificate, the value is more than one million dollars, which is enough to sue her!" Evelyn did not expect that she would react like this. She was freeze for a moment.

Arlene was frightened to be sued and knelt on the ground begging.

"Miss Morgan, please don't call the police. I swear I didn't steal your bracelet. If I did, I would end up going to hell."

Housekeeper Jones knelt and begged right away, "Miss Morgan, I know my daughter well, she wouldn't dare to steal things, please let her go. She's still a kid. If she goes to prison, her life will be ruined."

Amelia didn't have a little pity on them.

"What do you think, Evelyn?"

She looked complacently at Evelyn.

Evelyn looked at her, clenching her fist.

As she was wondering how to react next, she heard Lucas and Devin talking.

They seemed to be talking about their work. When they went into the living room and noticed the situation here, they both frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Sophia told them what had happened, and mocked Evelyn about her behavior.

"Lucas, look at your wife, who is partial to others and tried to prove that I planted the whole stealing thing!"

Lucas frowned and looked at Evelyn.

"Really?"

Evelyn closed her lips lightly and said, "No, mom misinterpreted my meaning."

After she talked about how she handled this case, she looked at Lucas uneasily.

Devin Hawk said impatiently before Lucas could react, "It's actually nothing and you tend to call the police and tell the world about it, how shameful that would be!" Evelyn held her anger.

So did Sophia and Amelia.

That didn't bother Devin, he continued, "And for the servants who steal things, we should just fire them."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Arlene and housekeeper Jones wanted to say something for themselves but the didn't dare to do so, they had to look at Evelyn for help.

Amelia figured what their looks meant before Evelyn.

She opened her mouth right away, "As uncle Devin said, I can let it go, so that aunt Sophia won't be angry any more. Aunt Sophia, it's not worth getting angry about, your own health is far more important." Hearing this, Sophia patted her arm and said, " It is Amelia who cares more about me after all, unlike someone here, who tries to help a stranger."

She gave a pointed glance at Evelyn.

Evelyn thought it was really ridiculous.

Amelia and Sophia played the good ones here, and made Evelyn a bad person who seemed to had done the wrong things.

Lucas heard their strife, looked unhappy.

Especially the irony in Evelyn's eyes, it made him more uncomfortable.

He could fell that things are not as clear as they seem.

In this way, he glanced at Arlene and housekeeper Jones kneeling on the ground, and said seriously, "Father, there is a theft in the house now, if we let him go, we are encouraging more thieves. So, I think we must take this seriously." Devin Hawk nodded and said, "Sure, you'll handle it."

Lucas nodded.

He looked at Evelyn and said in a cold voice, "Tell me the whole story. I remember you brought Arlene and housekeeper Jones from the Davis."

Evelyn's heart bumped to the bottom suddenly.

She thought her husband was going to help Sophia and Amelia.
