Chapter 326
–
In the president office of the Welton Group, Evan had just finished a meeting with the senior managers.
Suddenly, his phone rang. “Mr. Welton, Ms. MacMillan has refused your help,” Hayden’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
Evan paused as he heard the words. He frowned and asked in a surprised tone, “Did she tell you how she would handle it?”
“No. She said she was innocent and that was enough,” Hayden answered.
Then he stood there waiting for Evan’s response. A few seconds later, Evan chuckled and said in a soft voice, “You just wait there. Tell me if there’s anything I can do.”
“I see.”
After Evan hung up the phone, he stood still in the hallway, his lips curving into a faint smile.
“Stupid girl. Does she think it’s enough to be innocent? Doesn’t she know who’s trying to harm her this time?” Evan thought to himself.
Then he remembered Dan had told him that Rain would plot against Anya. He didn’t take it seriously, for he thought Rain would be daunted by his identity. Thus what Rain had done was out of his expectation.
Evan’s eyes darkened. No matter who wanted to harm Anya, Evan wouldn’t spare him.
In the police station, Neil started to take the statement.
“Anya, tell me in detail what has happened today.”
Anya nodded. “I’m a designer of JK Couture. Today our designer group went to visit the show field. After the visit, the organizer asked the models and the designers to draw lots so that one model could be matched with one designer. After I was matched with Rain, she asked me to choose a dress for her. Then I went with her to the wardrobe area. While I was looking for the right dress, her necklace was put into my pocket. That’s all.”
Anya said all that calmly in one breath.
Neil thought for a while and said, “There wasn’t any surveillance, right?”
“Yes. The show field was newly built, and some areas had no surveillance yet.”
“Were there any witnesses?”
Anya thought for a while and shook her head. “I didn’t notice it. I was busy choosing a dress for Rain, so I didn’t notice what happened around me.”
Even though some people passed by, Anya didn’t know them at all.

“Are you sure you’re telling the truth?”
“Yes. I didn’t steal her necklace.” Anya looked at Nell with determined eyes. “There were many people in the wardrobe area then, and they would surely notice it if I took her necklace. What’s more, my
fingerprint isn’t on it. If you think I’ve wiped it off, I can tell you that I was not able to do that in such a short time.”
Nell didn’t think Anya was a thief, either. But since there was no other proof, he could only perform his work according to the regulations. “Ms. MacMillan, you’ve defended yourself well. But before you can find any evidence to prove your innocence, we should make you a suspect.”
She knew the police could do nothing but make her a suspect if there wasn’t any poof favorable to her.
“What should I do?” she thought.
She didn’t want to rely on Evan all the time.
She stared at the shadows at her feet and was lost in thought. Suddenly an idea occurred to her. “Mr. Franzen, I know how to prove my innocence.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/daisynovel.com.
Nell was writing the notes. When he heard the words, his eyes widened in surprise. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Then how?”
“I remember that there was a girl shooting vlogs in the show field. She was not far away from us then. Maybe she has got us on her camera. You can go to find her, but please don’t tell Ms. Zachary about this.”
Neil looked at Anya and nodded.
