Chapter 1667 A Button For A Thief

“You b*stard!”

“Juan, there’s no need for you to deny so quickly. I have evidence proving the chip was stolen by you,” Steven retorted.

“Evidence? What evidence?”

Juan was insistent not to be fooled by his words.

I don’t believe he has any evidence at all.

Steven didn’t answer him but looked at Evan instead. “Mr. Seet, if I have evidence to prove Juan stole my chip, shouldn’t you return the chip to me and provide me with an explanation?”

An indescribable look flashed across Evan’s eyes. His gaze fixed on Steven, trying to discern his words. He sounds confident. It doesn’t seem like he’s lying. Does he really have evidence?

However, Juan thought Steven was lying, so he stepped forward and asserted, “Sure! I’ll give you an explanation if you have it, so show me your evidence!”

Steven glanced at Juan. “I’m speaking to Mr. Seet!”

Evan was stunned briefly. “All right. If you do have evidence to prove Juan was the one who stole your chip, I’ll give you an explanation.”

With Evan’s confirmation, Steven slowly stretched his arm out with a fist.

“The evidence is here.”

“What?”

When he had everyone focused on his fist, he slowly revealed the item in his palm.

“This is the evidence!”

A button?

Evan quickly swept his gaze over Juan’s clothes.

He noticed a missing button on his sleeve.

“Juan, this button is yours. It’s the exact same as the one you’re wearing right now. You dropped it earlier when you were stealing the chip.”

A few scenes flashed in Juan’s mind. It must be from my struggle with the last bodyguard. He must have yanked it from my sleeve when I wasn’t paying attention.

I didn’t even notice that.

How careless of me!

The corners of Steven’s lips curled when he saw Juan fall into deep thoughts. He then turned to Evan.

“Mr. Seet, now that I have solid evidence, please return the chip to me and provide me an explanation.”

A glint appeared in Evan’s eyes as he asked, “Juan, does the button belong to you?”

Juan paused. “No. It’s not mine.”

At that moment, Zayden and Joy paused at the threshold when they saw there were guests in the living room.

“Who are they? What are they talking about?” Zayden asked curiously.

With a solemn look on her face, Joy eavesdropped on the conversation in the living room.

Steven sneered, “It’s not yours? But your sleeve is clearly missing a button? And this button in my palm matches the one on your sleeve. So I know this is definitely yours.”

Steven spoke with confidence, while Juan denied it with his arms folded across his chest.

“My button went missing a long time ago. How do I know that you didn’t notice my missing button earlier in the afternoon, then come here again with a similar one to frame me?”

“You!”

Steven couldn’t manage a retort against Juan’s words.

“Are they talking about a button? Is that Juan’s?” Zayden asked.

Joy’s big, round eyes sparkled as she thought of an idea. She immediately dashed for the garage.

Zayden quickly followed behind her.

“Uncle! Uncle…”

“What’s wrong, Joy?”

“Uncle, I have something I need from you.”

“What is it?”

While in the living room, a faint smile hung on Evan’s lips. “I think Juan’s words make sense. You’re accusing him of stealing your chip with a mere button. Isn’t that too rash?”

“Mr. Seet, is this not enough? It’s obvious from your attitude that you’re protecting your son. I have all the more reason to believe you’re the one who instructed your son to steal it!”
