Ellinor didnât pay him any mind and went straight to the horseâs side instead Seeing Jonah being bullied by Ellinor, Theo couldnât help but crack a smile Ellinor got to work, taking the saddle off Yvette and handing it to Theo, who was standing next to her.
She then lit up the horse with a flashlight, combing through its coat, searching for something.
Under the flashlight, something tiny suddenly reflected the light.
Ellinor swiftly brought the flashlight closer and took a good look. It was a diamond studded earring that had completely embedded itself in the horseâs skin.
And the earring was identical to the one that had pierced Haillieâs foot during the day.
Theo also noticed the earring but didnât say anything for a moment As she was allergic to silver, Ellinor didnât touch the earring. She turned around and said to everyone in a nonchalant tone.
âEveryone, come take a look. This is why Yvette freaked out todayâ
Everyone was curious. When they got a close look at the earring on the horse, they instantly understood what had happened Then, everyone turned their gaze towards Haillie, who was just pretending to care about Ellinor a moment ago; their eyes filled with suspicion and rejection.
Byran furrowed his brow deeply. Fuming with anger, he roared. âHaillie, how could you do this?â
Hallie pretended to be clueless, âWhat are you talking about? What did I do? Byran, what are you babbling about? I donât understand you!â
Byran pointed at the earring on the horse, âCome and see for yourself! Why is this earring on Yvette the same as the one that stabbed your foot this morning? Did you sneak it under Ellinorâs saddle when we werenât paying attention? Is that why Yvette freaked out from the pain and threw Ellinor off the cliff?â
Haillieâs face turned pale instantly, her lips trembling as she stammered, âIt wasnât mel Byran, you canât slander me like this⦠Just because that earring is the same as the one that pierced my foot this morning, doesnât mean I was the one who put it there!
Byran was already furious and disappointed, but seeing the woman he had always respected and trusted refusing to admit her mistake, he couldnât help but feel disgusted âIf it wasnât you, then who? Me? Iâm a guy; I donât have pierced ears, so I couldnât possibly have earrings!â
Haillie didnât know how to respond, but she still wouldnât admit it, so in her confusion, she was desperate to clear her name and blurted out.
âByran, I wasnât the only person in the woods at that time! Wasnât Belinda there too? She was there..
As soon as Belinda heard this, she immediately replied, âHaillie, what are you implying? Are you saying I wanted to harm Ellinor? What are you spouting? Why would I harm Ellinor? I canât even love her enough!â
Ellinor was speechless.
That sudden deep love confessionâ¦.
Because Theo was there, Haillie never dared to offend Belinda and awkwardly explained, âBelinda, I didnât mean that; I was just trying to tell Byran not to be so certain that I did it.â
Belinda asked discontentedly, âIf you didnât do it, then who did? Ellinor is allergic to silver, she canât touch those things, and she doesnât have a masochistic streak, so she definitely didnât do it herself! So, other than you, itâs me?â
Haillie didnât know what to say, âBelinda, itâs not like that, Iâ¦â
Belinda angrily said âI didnât want to think of you as that bad, but now you even dare to frame me! You really are a wicked woman!â
âUncle, stay away from this bad woman in the future! Sheâs full of tricks and always trying to harm your wife!â
Theoâs face was cold, he was visibly angry, and his gaze was fixed on Haillie.
Haillie was completely panicked and she shook her head in fear, âTheo! It really wasnât meâ¦â
