No one paid attention to him.
Everyone saw the footage change once again, Uncle Dong’s face gained more wrinkles, and his visits to the jewelry room became increasingly frequent.
What was peculiar was that the editing of the footage was crystal clear, detailing even his expressions and the exact process of his theft.
And just like that, everyone saw how Uncle Dong evolved from his initial cautiousness to becoming more and more adept at theft, time and time again.
Towards the end, he seemed troubled as he walked around the jewelry room, finally fixing his gaze upon one of the few display cases inside.
One by one, he inspected them, opened a cabinet, and pulled out a set of rare and stunning jewelry.
Wearing gloves, he took out the necklace that had incited Yu Siqiao’s fury at the auction the previous night, his eyes filled with unstoppable awe.
After gently wrapping it in a handkerchief, he placed it in his pocket and immediately turned to leave.
The footage paused there, and Uncle Dong’s complexion had already turned deathly pale.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Uncle Dong’s voice suddenly came through: "This is preposterous, how could there be a thief within this family?"
Mo Shu’s voice was calm, "Apart from you, who else could enter this room?"
"There’s Ji Nan, Ji Biao, Ji Ren, Ji Yun, four bodyguards, and three dedicated maids for cleaning. This is too much, the thief must be among them. Rest assured, I will surely find this thief and give you an explanation!"
"What do you think should be done after the thief’s found?"
"Without you, they wouldn’t have what they have today, everything they have today was given by you. These people, even if they are punished by law, it’s useless, it would be better to send them to Dubai to serve as slaves once they’re found, depriving them of all chances to turn their lives around and let them live in abject and painful servitude for the rest of their lives!"
"Isn’t that a bit too harsh?"
"Princess, anyone who dares to betray you should pay this price!"
His voice was firm, each word crystal clear.
Everyone could hear Uncle Dong’s determination to punish the guilty.
Yet, Uncle Dong had already lost all color in his face.
He knelt on the ground abruptly, shouting loudly, "Princess! I have been wronged, this video must have been fabricated by someone with ulterior motives! Their aim is to frame me and to remove me from this family! You must investigate thoroughly!"
Mo Shu stood beside Grandpa Mo, her face expressionless from beginning to end.
Seeing him kneeling on the ground, she said coldly, "I compiled the video."
Uncle Dong’s heart felt like it had been violently smashed, looking at the cold and indifferent young woman before him, he felt an unprecedented sense of alienation.
The others also found it hard to believe, especially those who knew something about Mo Shu, they looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
He Yan was shocked, "How is this possible, with such a video released, Uncle Dong is truly finished! With so many eyes watching, even if Mo Shu wanted to favor him, to spare him, she couldn’t justify it!"
Yu Jing sneered, "That’s why idiots are idiots. Under the scrutiny of the public eye, I want to see how she resolves this!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel•fire.net
Yu Siqiao watched Mo Shu’s coldness with narrowed eyes.
Given Mo Shu’s affection for the butler, sending him to Dubai was out of the question.
The best way to minimize the damage now would be to deal with him in-house, demote and move him away from her side to set an example.
But did she have the heart to do it?
