The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

Mingzhu’s words undoubtedly cornered Feifei Sun into a difficult situation.

If she admitted now that she took the bracelet, it would doubtlessly be like shooting herself in the foot.

But if she didn’t admit it, and the bracelet was found later with fingerprints on it, she would still be unable to clear her name.

While quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed—how could Mingzhu, a country girl, even know about fingerprinting?

After a brief moment of thought, Feifei came up with a response strategy, "I just remembered, I tried on the bracelet before, so it’s very likely that my fingerprints are on it. But I didn’t take the bracelet. You can search my body and handbag if you don’t believe me."

Mingzhu clicked her tongue lightly, "But I remember you were quite sure earlier that you never touched the bracelet, and now you’re contradicting yourself by saying you tried it on. Your story is inconsistent, and it’s hard to make people believe you."

The receptionist wasn’t foolish either and had roughly guessed that it was Feifei who was behind this. She was quite angry.

If anything happened to the bracelet, she would certainly lose her job and had almost offended a friend of Qing Zhong.

Ever since she started working at the store, the manager had repeatedly emphasized that the Zhong family was absolutely not to be offended.

"Miss Sun, before calling the police, I asked you several times, and you firmly denied taking the bracelet. You even implied it was Miss Shen who had taken it and told me to search Miss Shen’s bag. Did you know in advance that the bracelet would be in Miss Shen’s tote bag?"
