NovelApexChapter 1277:
But just then, an uproar erupted in the main hall.
Startled, Linsey froze, her hand still on the zipper. “What's going on?”
“We're about to find out,” cCollin’s steady voice behind her.
At his signal, one of the bodyguards stepped forward, bowing slightly. “I'll check right away.”
But before he could move more than a couple of steps, a crowd surged toward them like a wave, loud and
chaotic, their footsteps pounding like a storm.
Leading the charge were none other than Kylee and Cynthia.
Linsey’s eyes widened. A chill of unease crept down her spine.
Reacting instinctively, the bodyguards stepped forward, arms outstretched to keep the onlookers at bay. Cynthia
was forced to halt—but she didn’t miss a beat.
Pointing an accusatory finger at Linsey from behind the shield of security, Cynthia screamed, “She's the thief!”
“What did | steal?” Linsey shot back, clearly bewildered, confusion flashing in her eyes.
Cynthia scoffed at her response, as if the question itself was an insult. “With this many people watching, you still
have the nerve to pretend you're innocent, you bitch?”

Linsey’s confusion deepened.
Pretending? Wasn't it natural to ask what she was being accused of? Before she could speak again, Collin
positioned himself in front of her protectively. His eyes, cold as steel, fixed on Cynthia. “Say one more word
against her,” he warned, “and I'll cut your tongue out.”
Cynthia's bravado crumbled in an instant. Shoulders hunched, she shrank behind Kylee like a scolded child.
“Kylee...” she whimpered.
Kylee, however, stood her ground and addressed Collin with forced calm. “Don’t be upset, Collin. Letexplain.
Cynthia gavea gold bracelet earlier, and it went missing shortly after. So...”
“So now you think | took it?” Linsey snapped, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. “Why in the world would | steal
your bracelet?”

Cynthia peeked out from behind Kylee, her tone sharp. “It vanished in the restroom. Only the three of us were
there. If it wasn’t you, who else could it be?”
“Maybe it was you,” Linsey shot back, unflinching. “Maybe you regretted giving it away and decided to take it
back.”
“Ridiculous!” Cynthia snapped, her cheeks flushing with anger.
“Cynthia, enough,” Kylee interjected, trying to steady the tension.

All eyes immediately shifted to the handbag Linsey held.
Linsey’s brow furrowed, but she stayed silent, refusing to respond.
“Go ahead, open it!" Cynthia
