MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 40 Continue

Audrey flipped on the tv. It showed a serial footage of the Sanitation Center and people sweeping the street and spraying it down where they’d emptied the dumpster to sort through the garbage.

Then the scene cut to security footage photos of her, with closeups of her hand.

“Police in the city launched this investigation in a matter of hours. And they made a shocking discovery…’ the reporter said.

‘A composite of a series of security camera footage to prove that audrey had not lost a ring.’ The reporter shook her head at the camera. ‘It’s clear from the photos that she wasn’t wearing it. The cameras show that she had only been wearing a pinkie ring. Other than that, there had been no other ring.’ The reporter shrugged. “The ring in question was purported to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. She frowned. ‘Perhaps Miss beckett just misplaced it.’

At that line, the co-anchor arched a brow. “Oh, yes donna I can see how hard it must be to keep track of millions of dollars of jewelry.”

The sarcasm was brutally effective.

In the blink of an eye audrey was utterly hated on the internet. The fans who had originally defended her were powerless against such circumstances.

What else could they say? The police had already issued a detailed investigation report.

There was even a large number of fans declaring online that they were going to leave the fandom, and swore to hate audrey forever.

Meanwhile, several of audrey loyal fans expressed their disbelief and suspected that there had been a mistake made during one of the investigative stages.

Similarly audrey was also skeptical.

The police had actually issued an investigative report, and yet she had found out about it at the same time as the other online users.

A shiver ran through audrey body. How could this be?!

Did it mean that the public image she had built up these past few years and the career she fought so hard for would be ruined in a day?
And yet, the worst had yet to come…
At the Landford Group Isaac's personal secretary nathan directly called both the beckett and mayers families to inform them of his employer’s non-attendance at their engagement dinner.

Everyone naturally associated it with audrey current negative press.

When claire saw the police-issued investigation report, she was somewhat surprised.

She had not been expecting it to be released so quickly and that both lewis and audrey had been unable to brush this under the table.

“That audrey sure is detestable. That day, she wanted so many of us to look for the ring, and ultimately, she hadn’t really lost anything!?” In the Sanitation Service Center, everyone was wildly commenting on the incident.

“It’s no wonder this is going viral-she’s heinous.”

“But this really doesn’t make any sense. I mean, she’s such a huge celebrity, why would she claim that she lost a ring and want us to look for it?” Someone asked confusedly.

“She has nothing better to do.”

Anna pulled claire aside and asked, “That day… I noticed audrey speaking with you for quite some time. Do you know her?”

Stella  who happened to be walking past at that moment, heard the question and mockingly replied anna , are you joking? Claire might know audrey but how would audrey know claire ? She’s a socialite from a respected family.”

“But I saw audrey  and claire talking the day of the incident.”

“Maybe clairr offended audrey That’s why such a huge celebrity would intentionally claim that she lost a ring stella replied.

Then, she continued as if she had captured the culprit, “Well done,claire It turns out that you were the one who dragged everyone into looking through the rubbish with you.”

Stella persisted in finding fault with claire because ryan had a crush on her.

“That’s not true nor is it fair anna said. “Why would you blame this incident on claire”

Claires cold gaze swept across stella “So if someone is being deceitful, you don’t shame that person but blame someone else for hurting that deceitful person? Your perception of right and wrong sure is interesting.”

Stella  face turned red and she had no way of refuting. She could only glare at claire with hatred before stomping away.

In the beckett family mansion audrey and her father stood with bated breath in the large hall as they waited for isaac .

“You immature girl, how could you have stirred up such trouble?claire is currently just a sanitation worker. There’s such a huge difference in both of your social standings. What is there to compare?” greg blamed his daughter.

“Why did she have to murder my sister? If it weren’t for her isaac wouldn’t have taken his anger out on the mayer family. It’s all her fault! And what about the projection ads that hendrix  commissioned -did you forget about those isaac landford had all of those taken down too!”audrey shouted.
Greg's expression shifted. His lips moved slightly but he ultimately remained silent.
