Scars Of A Broken Bond

Anne was Keilani’s attendant.

“Search me?” Sabrina responded with a smile, fixing her gaze on Keilani. “Keilani, I’m not interested in these games with you. If you want to search me, present some evidence. Otherwise, I can’t allow you to search me without cause.”

Before Keilani could respond, Sabrina redirected her attention to Anne. “She works for you, so she can’t be considered an impartial witness.”

Liliana interjected, “Let’s rely on the surveillance footage. It could have fallen out and been found by someone else.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Just as Keilani was about to voice her opinion, a casually dressed young man entered the office, visibly surprised by the gathering.

Glancing at the assembled group, he inquired, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Upon spotting William, a bold idea sparked in Evan’s mind.

Evan couldn’t resist clenching his fists. Glancing at Sabrina, he felt a surge of eagerness to complicate things.

Keilani, perceiving William as a potential ally, approached him with a sense of relief. She pointed at Sabrina and asserted, “I’m glad you’re here. She stole my necklace and refused to admit it.

William took a deliberate look at Sabrina before turning to Liliana, who clarified, “Keilani claims that Sabrina stole her necklace, but there’s no evidence.”

Sabrina, observing William for the first time, took in his presence.

Despite his name being William, he appeared to be a foreigner.

Judging from Liliana’s demeanor, he likely held a position of authority in the studio.

Just as the tension heightened, Evan interjected, “Actually…”

ALL eyes in the office turned toward Evan as he spoke up.

“Actually what?” William inquired, prompting Evan to elaborate.

“I saw Sabrina take the necklace from Keilani’s purse, Evan calmly stated.

“Really?” William questioned.

“That’s nonsense!” Sabrina was shocked by Evan’s accusation.

Their voices echoed at the same time.

Sabrina, caught off guard, stared at Evan in a mixture of shock and anger. “I have no issues with you. Why would you falsely accuse me?”

“Sabrina, do not argue any longer. I witnessed you taking the necklace. I hold no grudge against you, so there’s no reason for me to slander you. I just want everyone to know the truth.” Evan maintained with a composed demeanor.

A hint of triumph glinted in Keilani’s eyes as Evan made his statement. “I want my necklace back!”

William, wearing an unhappy frown, addressed Sabrina sternly, “Sabrina, return the necklace to Keilani and apologize. Then, we can put an end to this.”
