Chapter 431 Her Sophistry
Alfred stood behind Ingrid, wearing a high-tech bracelet.
When he pressed a button, Suzanna's confident words were instantly turned into a joke.
It was the perfect timing-just as she thought she had successfully covered up her lie. It was a crushing blow.
The projection screen displayed everything, and everyone could sense her anxiety.
Suzanna was quietly searching through Ingrid's room, trying not to disturb anything. After a thorough search, she finally found the 'Slumber Incense' in a drawer.
She lowered her head and took a careful sniff as if confirming that it was the right one.
A few seconds later, Suzanna took the incense from two small magnetic boxes, placed them into a new box she had brought with her, and refilled Ingrid's box with a similar-looking incense powder.
The camera angle changed. This time, when she entered Ingrid's room again, she seemed more familiar with the layout.
She quickly found the drawer and swapped out the incense powder with ease. Then, there was a third time, and a fourth-each time, moving faster as the incense slowly ran out.
By the final time, Suzanna had replaced all the incense, stood in Ingrid's room for a moment, and then began searching again.
She muttered as she searched, "Tsk, Melody has such a good relationship with this old woman, but she only left her a few things? It's so cheap.
"She didn't even leave any beauty cream. This scar on my forehead...
"If the repair cream didn't work, then ... I'll need a skin graft!"
Suzanna quickly silenced her complaints, realizing she was still in Ingrid's room.
While the scar on her forehead had faded a bit after secretly buying YM Cosmetics' beauty cream, it was nearly impossible to fully fix. She knew the best solution would be a skin graft.
Of course, Suzanna couldn't bear to use her skin for that. What she wanted was Melody's fair, soft skin.
The thought of grafting that snow-white skin onto her face thrilled her. The key was-it was Melody's.
As long as it belonged to Melody, Suzanna would feel more satisfied and fulfilled using it.
After that last search, Suzanna never returned to Ingrid's small courtyard.
Now, she saw herself on the large screen. Her face went pale, and she bit her lip in fear, her eyes betraying a moment of panic.
"N-no, all I took from Mrs. Ingrid's
room was just regular incense! I'm sensitive to scents. When I smelled something unusual on Mrs. Ingrid, I couldn't resist looking for it.
"Anyone who loves scents would be
ะต curious about it. I admit I may have looked suspicious, but this is part of Shield's Mansion, and I have every right to enter.
"Mel and I are twin sisters. We're inseparable. Is it strange for me to take her things?"
Suzanna eventually calmed down. She reminded herself that it was just surveillance footage. What could it prove?
All anyone could see was her going in and out of Ingrid's room and taking some incense. No one could smell the scent of the incense.
As long as she denied it, no one could touch her. It was her usual tactic.
She was used to doing bad things and had built up a strong mental toughness over time.
Ingrid was nearly driven mad by
Suzanna's shameless excuses, gritting her teeth in frustration. "Suzanna, don't you feel any shame? You always lie! Have you no conscience?"
en
She was old and didn't know how to swear, but Suzanna's lies pushed her to use the most 'vicious' words in her vocabulary to curse back.
Suzanna, however, didn't care about Ingrid's anger. She simply raised an eyebrow and pretended to be the victim.
"Oh, Mrs. Ingrid, why are you still slandering me? It's only natural for me to access any part of Shield's Mansion to get Mel's things.noveldrama
"What's more interesting is you. You lived so well in Shield's Mansion. Why did you install surveillance footage in your room?"
