It was the first time Frank and I gave each other silent treatment.

He thought I was deliberately targeting Halle.

I thought he was unreasonable because he was so stupid.

In addition, I was swamped with the factory. So, I gradually forgot about it.

I thought Halle would at least stay out of trouble for a while.

Unexpectedly, just five days later, my precious jewelry disappeared.

My jewelry wasn't cheap, with an average price of over 10,000 dollars.

Usually, I would lock them in the drawer of my dressing table.

Since Halle wore my jacket without my permission, I had become cautious about my things.

But the blue sapphire diamond necklace that I liked went missing anyway.

I was sure that I locked the drawer when I left in the morning.

I had always kept the key in a place that only I knew.

I carefully observed, and there were no signs of forced entry.

In other words, it must have been opened with a key.

I looked at the place where I hid the key. It was under a pot of plants on the bedside table.

I moved the pot, and the key was still there.

On the same day, I bought a camera to install in the bedroom, which could capture every corner.

I installed it in a corner, so Frank didn't notice it.

After installing it, I watched the footage on my phone at double speed every day for several days.

Nothing unusual happened.

I couldn't help but start to doubt if I was being paranoid.

What if I was careless and lost it, and I wrongly blamed Halle?

Out of hidden guilt, I had been treating Frank and Halle very well these days.

I even bought an entry lux bag for Halle.

Then one evening, I saw her figure on the surveillance.

In the surveillance, she first opened my closet and took out all my luxury clothes.

She compared them on herself with hangers.

She threw away the ones she didn't like and put on the ones she liked.

She did this for more than an hour.

Just when I thought she was going to put these clothes back, her next move made me want to slap her!

She threw all my clothes on the floor and deliberately changed into outdoor shoes.

She stepped on the pile of clothes without hesitation!

Meanwhile, she muttered and snorted, "It's just a few pieces of clothes! What's the big deal? Why are you so high and mighty?"

I restrained my desire to kill her. After all, I had received a good education for twenty-four years.

I continued to watch.

Halle came to the bedside table as if she knew the way.

She picked up the potted plant.

"Hey!

"Where's the key?"

Sure enough, it was her!

Although I thought I had wrongly accused her, I still changed the place of the key out of caution.

Halle couldn't find the key under the potted plant, and she looked a bit unhappy.

She put down the potted plant heavily.

She started looking for the key elsewhere.

But she searched for a long time and still couldn't find the key.

She was extremely impatient.

She grabbed the drawer, shaking it up and down and trying to forcefully pull it out.

I bought the dressing table online.

Although the quality and workmanship were not the best, it was not something that a woman like her could open without a key.

But maybe because the table was shaking too much.

Something fell out from under the table.

Halle curiously picked it up, and after she saw what it was, she grinned.

It was the key I hid.

I glued it to the bottom of the table with invisible glue.

But it fell off because of the violent shaking.

I watched her open the drawer of my dressing table with the key.

She put all my carefully organized jewelry on the table.

She immediately took a liking to my favorite pair of diamond earrings.

As she put them on, she muttered to herself.

"Damn Rosa! She's so rich, but she only gave me an entry-level bag!

"Then don't blame me for doing this!"

She snorted again.

Facing the jewelry box, she picked and chose for a long time and finally settled on a bracelet.

It was in excellent condition, and I bought it at a high price.

"This one will do!"

Halle looked at the translucent bracelet on her fair wrist.

Then she carefully put the jewelry box back in its original place.

She stuck the key back to the bottom of the drawer.

Finally, she left satisfied.

I suddenly sat up from the bed.

Frank wasn't sleeping soundly and was awakened by my movement.

"Rosa, why aren't you sleeping? It's so late at night."

I showed him the surveillance video from my phone, clearly showing every move of Halle.

Frank, who was originally drowsy, woke up at once.

He frowned and quickly snatched my phone, carefully examining every frame of the video.

"What's going on?"

"You should ask Halle!"

I thought he was referring to Halle.

"I'm asking why is there video surveillance in our room?"

He said sternly as he looked around.

He raised his voice so abruptly that I was taken aback.

"What's wrong with you?"

I was a little annoyed.

"That's what I wanna ask you. What's wrong with you?"

Frank glared at me, pointing to the circular surveillance video in the upper right corner of the room, and questioned me.

"Why did you install a camera in the room?"

He rarely confronted me like this.

I knew it was not right for me to install surveillance in the bedroom without asking him first, so I softened my tone and attitude.

"Frank, I told you that I lost a diamond necklace before, right?

"You know I've always had a good memory, and things won't just disappear for no reason.

"I installed this surveillance just in case.

"But there was indeed a thief!"

Frank remained silent after hearing my explanation.

I thought he was hurt by Halle.

After all, he trusted her so much.

"Frank, don't blame..."

"Rosa, I never expected you to be such a person!"

Before I finished speaking, Frank interrupted me.

I didn't get to say "Don't blame Halle".

"Halle told me that you have always had a problem with her, and I persuaded her, telling her that that's not who you are.

"But what you have done?"

I was confused by what he said. What did I do?

"You wouldn't let her wear your clothes. Now, you're smearing her for stealing?

"Rosa, I know her the best. She won't steal!

"This is a fake video, right?"

I was really stunned.

The evidence was right here, but he still refused to believe it.

"Fake? How is it fake? See for yourself. It clearly shows the time! And this is definitely Halle!

"Besides, she wore my clothes without my consent. It makes sense that she steals from me!"

Perhaps my sharp tone provoked Frank.

He, the so-called honest man, got angry.

"Rosa! Halle is my sister! I know better than you whether she will steal things or not!

"And what about you? Ever since Halle moved here, you have always been unable to tolerate her!"

I asked.

"So, you mean I deliberately framed her?"

Frank fell silent.

Sometimes not answering was the best answer.

I had been with him for a year. We got married.

But he didn't trust me at all.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Fine. Let's see who is lying."

While speaking, I dialed a number.

I called the police.
