Hearing Sophie's scream,
all of them hurried over to where she was.
There was a pile of broken glass pieces lying on the ground.
Sophie was so angry that her face twisted with rage. She forgot to be ladylike and shouted in a loud roar, "Who did this?"
However, Alina clenched her fists. What was left to be said?
Sophie had obviously planned to slander her. First, she deliberately invited Alina for tea and took her fingerprints. After that, she claimed that the necklace she kept in another cup had disappeared.
Now, the other teacup was smashed into pieces. Sophie would definitely insist that the broken cup was the teacup she had drank from.
Lincoln looked coldly at the glass fragments on the ground and said, "This matter ends here! Lina, follow me to the study."
"Yes!" Alina was grateful for Lincoln's intervention and responded immediately.
However, Sophie stood in the way. "Father, Miss Alina has not proved that she is innocent."
Lincoln rebutted discontentedly, "Then, can you show us Lina's teacup?"
Sophie had a displeased expression on her face. "The cup must have been knocked over by a servant. Alina, this must be your doing, right? You're such a crafty woman. You've only been in the Scott Family for less than a week, but you've colluded with the servants to do your bidding."
"Sophie!" Lincoln warned her in a stern voice.
Sophie lowered her head and said unwillingly, "I want to search her body!"
Lincoln's face was livid. "Sophie, you've gone too far!"
What's wrong with Sophie today? She seemed to have been possessed.
When Alina saw Lincoln trying to protect her, she didn't want to make things difficult for him. "Grandfather, I don't mind being searched to prove my innocence. The truth shall prevail."
Since the teacup was broken, there was no way for her to prove that she was innocent. Now that Sophie wanted to search her, it was a chance for Alina to prove her innocence.
Mr. Scott sighed. "If you insist!"
Silvia poked her head out and raised her hand. "Grandfather, let me handle this!"
Mr. Scott nodded.
It was appropriate for Silvia to search Lina since they were closer in age.
As soon as she received her grandfather's approval, Silvia glared at Alina and approached her. She patted down Alina's shoulders and ordered arrogantly, "Raise your hands!"
Since it was a body search to prove her innocence, Alina no longer minded Silvia's haughty attitude. She raised her arms cooperatively.
