Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Tracy pointed at Yvette and yelled, "It's you! You set me up! Mrs. Quinn Senior, she slipped the necklace into my pocket when I wasn't paying attention."

Yvette smirked and replied, "Where's your proof?"

Tracy was rendered speechless, her teeth clenched in frustration. She hadn't thought much of the collision with Yvette earlier, so how could she possibly have any evidence now? Martha's gaze turned icy as she looked at Tracy. "You're still trying to slander Yvie? You're beyond redemption!"

"No, Mrs. Quinn Senior, I'm telling the truth. She set me up!" Tracy pleaded. She then desperately glanced at Victoria for help.

What a useless fool! Victoria cursed silently but maintained a facade of concern. "Mrs. Quinn Senior, Mrs. Lynch has been with me for so long. I know the kind of person she is. I trust she wouldn't do this."novelbin

"Yes!" Tracy chimed in, tears streaming down her face. "If I wanted to steal Ms. Olson's necklace, I would have done it ages ago. I'm being falsely accused!"

Martha hesitated for a moment before responding coldly, "But the necklace was found on you. The evidence is undeniable."

Tracy became even more frantic. "Mrs. Quinn Senior, I'm truly innocent. I suspect Ms. Murray put the necklace in my pocket when she bumped into me earlier."

"Are you implying that my fiancée is framing you?" Wilson strode down the stairs, his expression cold and unyielding. He regarded Tracy with a chilling intensity, making her feel as if a predator was scrutinizing her. Wilson had already learned the details of the situation from Samuel, and his presence radiated an intimidating chill that made everyone uneasy.

"Chase her out of Jubilife," he commanded.

Tracy's heart sank at the thought of being expelled from the city. If she was kicked out, she would have no choice but to return to her rural hometown-a far cry from the life she had here while serving Victoria. Despite feeling fearful, Tracy protested, "Mr. Quinn, I didn't steal the necklace. I haven't done anything wrong. You can't just chase me out of Jubilife like this."

Wilson remained unmoved by her protest. His voice was cold and unyielding. "Take her to the dungeon. She can stay there until she admits her guilt."

Tracy's face drained of color as the thought of being sent to the dungeon terrified her. Few

could withstand the torture there. At her age, it could very well cost her life!

"Ms. Olson, please help me! I don't want to go to the dungeon. You have to save me!" Tracy cried out in desperation.

Victoria didn't want to help someone who only caused trouble. However, to maintain her kind image, she finally spoke up. "Wilson, Mrs. Lynch is aged. She may not survive the harsh conditions of the dungeon." Wilson showed no signs of softening. He turned to Samuel and instructed, "Take her away."

"Yes, Mr. Quinn."
