Chapter 490: Exposing 4
Qiao Qianmo forced herself to remain calm and continued, "You’re trying to prove the necklace was found by Xia Xiyan just with this video? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?""Not at all." Chi Cheng’s smile was devilishly charming, his voice unhurried, "But this surveillance footage does prove that Xiyan put in a lot of effort to help find the necklace, rather than, as you claimed, went back to the hotel to sleep all afternoon."
Qiao Qianmo’s face froze.
After he spoke, Chi Cheng shot a light glance at Xiyan behind him, "The bite marks on her body are also undeniable proof."
Ou Ma was stunned, staring at the figure in the surveillance video rushing about in a flustered manner.
The video clearly showed her gaze sweeping around everywhere.
It was truly the posture of someone searching for something.
But didn’t Momo say that Xia Xiyan had gone straight back to the hotel to sleep?
Then how could Xia Xiyan appear in the video??
Ou Ma’s face was filled with shock, her gaze landing on Xiyan.
But this time, her eyes no longer carried their original judgment.
Instead, there was a newfound scrutiny, a reevaluating curiosity.
The frail frame of the young girl looked even thinner than when she had first met her at the Ou Mansion.
Taking a closer look, this girl’s eyes were so pure.
So clear, it was as if they could be seen through in one gaze.
Qiao Qianmo became flustered all at once. She anxiously looked at Ou Ma, desperate to prove herself, "I’m not lying, Auntie, I really didn’t lie... What they’re saying, all of this, it’s not evidence at all!"
Ou Ma withdrew her gaze and was about to speak, but Ou Jue’s calm voice interrupted her, "Evidence, hm."
He stood upright, one hand tucked in his pocket, the lines of his jaw firm. "Test the necklace. See if Xia Xiyan’s fingerprints are on it, and everything will become clear."
F-fingerprints?!
Qiao Qianmo was completely stunned.
"That’s right," An Ran’s eyes lit up as she chimed in, her voice crisp, "If Xiyan never touched the necklace at all, then there can’t possibly be her fingerprints on it. But if there are..."
The answer was self-evident.
"Even now, you still won’t tell the truth?!" Ou Jue’s icy gaze was sharp as a blade, piercing and ruthless, slashing toward Qiao Qianmo with unrelenting force!
"Momo..." Ou Ma looked at Qiao Qianmo in disbelief, letting go of the hands that had been holding her tightly.
Qiao Qianmo took two steps back, still stubbornly clinging to her words, "What I said is the truth, all of it is the truth! Xia Xiyan is just pretending, she’s only playing the victim to smear me!"
So what if she got bitten by a few bugs?
She didn’t even die!
Besides, Xia Xiyan deserved it. Who told her to meddle and go look for the necklace too?!
Seeing Qiao Qianmo desperately refusing to admit anything, Ou Jue’s face darkened, and he spoke coldly, "Take the necklace off and have it tested."
"No!" Qiao Qianmo screamed, her mental defenses completely collapsing.
The worst-case scenario had finally arrived. She was at a total loss for words, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
While wiping her tears, she sobbed and stammered, "I didn’t mean it... I just wanted to put Xia Xiyan in her place. That’s all... And anyway, I really did go out to look for the necklace! I really got heatstroke! Ou Jue-gege, you only care about that woman... Do you care nothing for my well-being at all? Waaa..."
Hearing what Qiao Qianmo said, Ou Ma was completely dumbfounded.
So, does this mean that this necklace was really found by Xia Xiyan?
And that, because she went looking for the necklace, she ended up in the hospital?!
Momo had been lying to her the entire time?!
