Chapter 13 See Through, But Don't Tell
I hesitated for nearly a minute, and Fannie just looked at my reaction with an evil smile.
I didn't want to go, but I was worried that this time I would really be asked. After thinking for a while, I pushed Rogelio and chose
to go in with Fannie. But I just wanted to take a look at the hall this time. I would not get close to anyone's room.
Sure enough, when I entered the villa, both Mrs. Nancy and Robbie were sitting on the sofa in the hall, while Rosie, who had just
come back, was sitting on the armrest of the sofa beside Mrs. Nancy, holding her.
Mrs. Nancy's face is full of smile and love when she looks at Rosie. At that time, I really admired her.
"Madam, I've took her here."
When Mrs. Nancy heard the report from Fannie, the smile on her face faded and there was a bit of disgust between her
eyebrows.
"Mrs. Nancy, are you looking for me?"
Mrs. Nancy asked me coldly, "do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"I don't know."
Mrs. Nancy snorted with his legs crossed, "you are really good at playing dumb. I ask you, where is the phone I bought for
Rosie?"
I held the wheelchair tightly in an instant as if I was going to crush the armrest.
I endured the grievance in my heart and looked straight at Mrs. Nancy, "I don't know. I haven't seen it."
"Haven't you seen it? I didn't put it in Rosie's room until last night. It suddenly disappeared. Then you tell me, you haven't seen
it? "
I know that I'm a thief in Mrs. Nancy's heart. She never denied that her guess about me was wrong.
"Mom, did you make a mistake by putting it somewhere else? Besides, it's just a cell phone. If you can't find it, forget it. Don't
frame someone without evidence. "
Rosie gave me a friendly smile and advised Mrs. Nancy not to embarrass me.
At that time, I was very grateful to Rosie.
While Robbie sat there with his legs crossed, looking down at his index finger which was constantly tapping his legs.
But Mrs. Nancy still snorted and said to Rosie, "you are kind-hearted. Don't think she is a good person when you see people
pretending to be innocent. Mom just lost my jewelry a few days ago, and she was the person who stole it."
Rosie looked up at me suspiciously, and Fannie added, fearing that Rosie would not believe her, "yes, Miss Rosie. A few days
ago, Mrs. Nancy lost her jewelry, and we found one of the earrings at her door. Before she came, there were no thieves in our
Luo family, but after she came, our family lost things one after another."
I glared at Fannie, who looked at me. Then she pointed at me exaggeratedly and said, "Miss Rosie, look. I'm telling the truth.
Look, why is she looking at me like this? Am I wrong? "
I gritted my teeth, but didn't want to explain to these people in front of me.
Mrs. Nancy said to Rosie, "Look at her. She is guilty and has nothing to say!"
After saying that, Mrs. Nancy pointed at me and looked at Robbie, "Robbie, look at this..."
I know that Mrs. Nancy wanted to persuade Robbie to let me get out of the Luo family again.
Finally, Robbie raised his head and looked at Mrs. Nancy. "When did you put the cell phone in Rosie's room?"
Mrs. Nancy was stunned, but she thought about it carefully, "it should be around nine o'clock last night."
"That is to say, it was still around nine o'clock last night."
Maria seemed to think of something and added, "It should have said that it was still there at ten o'clock. I remember that Mrs.
Nancy said that she was afraid that Rosie's room would be dry, so I went to put an air heater. I remember that time it was still
there."
"Oh, by the way, when I got up last night, I saw the door of Miss Rosie's room was ajar, but I remember I closed it. I was still
wondering why Miss Rosie's door was opened and I remember I did close it." Maria said and scratched her head, fearing that
she might remember it wrong.
Robbie asked Maria calmly, "what time did you get up?"
"It seems to be, it seems to be a little after eleven o'clock."
Rosie listened and nodded her head, "so it means that it might have been lost between ten and eleven o'clock last night?"
Rosie said to me gently, "Jasmine, can you find someone to prove that you were not there between ten and eleven last night?
Then you will be able to clear yourself. "
I looked down at Rogelio in front of me, pulled the corner of my mouth bitterly, and then looked up at Rosie gratefully.
"I don't have a witness."
As soon as the air became cold, I felt those eyes as if they were mountain of evidence.
Rosie drew a breath, but still smiled and said to Mrs. Nancy, "Mom, don't worry about it. It's just a cell phone. Besides, you don't
have any evidence. You can't frame Jasmine as a thief just by suspecting her. I don't think she is."
Mrs. Nancy glanced at me discontentedly because of the friendliness of Rosie to me and said, "How can you be deceived by this
woman's appearance just like Robbie. Let me tell you. Stealing is a matter of character and has nothing to do with the value of
the stolen things. "
Rosie looked at me sympathetically and comforted me, "don't take it to heart, Jasmine. My mother is just like this. If she is sure,
she will say everything. When the thing is found, I will ask her to apologize to you."
"I really think my love were in vain when you spoke for others."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Rosie pouted and winked at Mrs. Nancy, which made her laugh.
"Maria, who has the key to all the rooms on the second floor? Do you usually lock the door? "
Robbie asked Maria, who was standing beside him, as if he was chatting.
Maria replied in a hurry, "Mrs. Nancy and I have the key to all the rooms, and the person in charge of the room cleaning has the
key to the floor on which the room is located. There is a daily rule that the rooms that no one lives in are usually locked."
"Does anyone else have a key except you? For example, Jasmine. "
Maria looked at me and said, "No."
Robbie stopped talking.
Mrs. Nancy took Rosie's hand and stood up. "Well, today my daughter comes back, which is more important than anything else
and makes me most happy. From now on, the door of the room should be locked well. Some people should be guard against.
There will be no mistake. Rosie, let's go. Go upstairs and talk to mom. Robbie is always busy. Mom is so lonely. "
Mrs. Nancy took Rosie upstairs. Maria and Fannie left to work. There were only Robbie and me in the hall.
"I'll take Rogelio back to his room."
I said to Robbie, and then pushed the wheelchair of Rogelio to go back to the room.
Robbie picked up a cigarette between his fingers again and exhaled a puff of mist. With the drifting smoke, he asked me lightly,
"The thief is clearly not you. Why don't you explain?"
