Chapter 21 Clearing Her Name Finished The officer from the forensic department quickly delivered the test results . He cleared his throat before speaking . Based on our analysis , we found Ms. Sinclairs fingerprints on the ring . My heart sank . My fingerprints ? How could that be ? I hadnt even touched the ring . I thought fast . Caden called this officer here so he wouldnt have been bribed by Wendy . The only explanation was that she somehow got my fingerprints without me noticing . Roscline , the test results are out . Clearly , you stole my ring . What do you have to say now ? Wendys lips twisted into a smug grin . Chief , she stole my ring . Wendy pointed at me , insisting . Please take her in and handle this matter fairly . Cadens POV : Id only known Roseline a few days , but something told me she wouldnt pull a stunt like this . Roseline , did you actually take her ring ? I asked with a smirk . Of course not . She remained calm as ever . The test results are right here , and youre still lying ? Wendy glared at her . Caden , why are you even entertaining her ? Our family doesnt associate with thieves . Shes clearly not worthy of you ! Queenie didnt hide her dislike for Roseline , taking this opportunity to push her further down . Im sorry , Ms. Sinclair , but please come with us to the station to assist with our investigation . The chief took a step forward . After all , with someone claiming to have seen Roseline steal the ring , it was found in her bag , and her fingerprints were on it ; she was now the prime suspect . According to the procedure , they needed to take Roseline to the police station to assist with the investigation . That wont be necessary . I can prove I never touched the ring , she said coolly . Her voice was calm but had an unmistakable conviction , leaving no room for doubt . Prove it ? What could you possibly prove ? Its clear as day you stole my ring ! Wendys voice rose as excitement lit her eyes . With all this evidence , youre still trying to deny it ? A petty , low class Omega like you should prepare for jail ! I have my way of proving it . Roselines lips curved in a serene smile .. She turned to the director beside her and said , Please hand me the ring The chief glanced at me , and I gave him a slight nod , allowing him to pass the ring to her . I was curious , too how could Roseline stay so composed in this situation ? Chapter 21 Clearing Her Name Finished She scanned the room before fixing her gaze on the waiter . You said you saw me take this ring with your own eyes ? The waiter nodded frantically . Yes , I saw it myself Roselines eyes hardened . Then pay close attention . She held up her hand for everyone to see . Take a good look at my hand . Her fingers were smooth , delicate , and unmarked . The crowd murmured in confusion , unsure what she intended . I , on the other hand , kept my cool as I watched her closely . Standing before the accusing eyes of the crowd , she remained unshaken . I was also curious to see how she would prove her innocence with so much against her . She held the ring in her hand . Within minutes , her fingers started to redden and swell , small welts appearing . Whats happening ? People stared in surprise at Roselines hand . Roselines gaze sharpened as she returned the ring to the officer , clearing her throat before saying , Tm allergic to platinum , and this rings setting is made of platinum . Roseline raised her hand for me to see . As you can see when I touch platinum , my skin reacts like this red , swollen , covered in welts , and it wont return to normal for hours . I frowned , then glanced at Wendy . Her face had visibly paled . If I had really stolen Wendys ring , my hand wouldve reacted by now , but as you all saw , my hand was fine just a moment ago . It only started to react after I touched this ring . That means I never even came into contact with the ring before that , so theres no way I could have stolen it . Roseline held her hand up to the crowd , showing them her swollen fingers . No , thats impossible ! Wendy gasped , staring at Roselines hand in disbelief . Theres no way you just happen to be allergic to platinum ! You must have rigged this somehow ! Wendy snatched the ring from the officer and examined it closely , hoping to find something amiss . The murmurs around us grew louder . Id had enough of Wendys panic . Roseline raised an eyebrow , took the ring in her other hand , and offered , If you still dont believe me , Ill demonstrate again . The result was the same . The moment her hand touched the ring , the allergic reaction flared up . Now , does this prove I didnt steal the ring? Roseline raised her brow , each word clear and deliberate . Sinclairs allergic reaction confirms its unlikely shes ever held the ring before . The police chief , who had been observing the whole situation , lowered his head and said . Thank you . Roseline nodded to the chief , then focused on the waiter . So tell me , exactly how did you see 2/3 22:31 Thu , 13 Mar Chapter 21 Clearing Her Name me take the ring ? The waitress stammered , casting a panicked glance at Wendy , Wendy gritted her teeth , turning her back and ignoring her completely . The waitress shook , then suddenly fell down before Roseline . Im sorry , Ms. Sinclair , it was actually me who stole the ring , the waitress said , trembling with fear , Is that so ? Roseline raised an eyebrow , clearly not buying her story . Finished I couldnt believe it either . A mere waitress wouldnt have the audacity to steal Wendys ring and frame my fiancée . And besides , she couldnt come up with such a flawless plan . Im sorry , I was out of my mind for a moment . I stole Ms. Crawfords ring , the waitress continued , bowing her head and crying uncontrollably as she confessed . Please forgive me , I didnt mean to , I swear I wont do it again . Title: A Princess? No! I'm the Female General! In "A Princess? No!
