Chapter 248: The Truth is Revealed.

Chapter 248: The Truth is Revealed.

Without a charger or connecting it electricity?

Was it solar?

The crowd wondered But there was no sun inside the store.

Meaning there was only one explanation…

This girl had been playing with them since!

The phone battery was never dead!

The thought made them furious.

None of them knew that they had misunderstood Nnenna completely.

The crowd, despite their growing frustration, still gave her a final chance.

If she had proof, they had to see it, as least for the sake of the videos they were making.

This had to go viral.

Nnenna unlocked her phone.

She navigated through her gallery with a deliberate calmness that made some people want to throw something at her.

“Why is she moving so slow?” Someone muttered.

A man in the crowd clenched his fists.

A woman sighed loudly and said, “If this turns out to be nothing, she better start running.” Even Lady Chineye, who had been trusting Nnenna this whole time, felt a small bead of sweat run down her temple.

What if—?

No.

She had to trust her.

Finally, Nnenna paused.

She looked at the screen.

Then she grinned.

“Oh!

Here it is.” She swiped her finger dramatically and pressed play.

The atmosphere shifted.

It was no longer just annoyance anymore.

Now?

There was tension.

There was dread.

And for the first time since the entire mess started Evelyn looked genuinely afraid.

As the video began playing, an eerie silence spread through the room.

The only sound was the faint buzz of the screen and the muffled whispers of people leaning closer.

All eyes were locked onto Nnenna’s phone.

Then, the truth unraveled.

The footage showed Evelyn and Chineye browsing through the dresses.

Chineye clearly picked the red dress, holding it against her body and smiling as she admired it.

Evelyn, standing beside her, held the white dress for a moment before dropping it back on the rack.

So far, nothing suspicious.

But then Evelyn’s eyes flickered.

She subtly glanced around, checking if anyone was watching.

Then, in one swift, calculated movement She picked up the white dress and slipped it into Chineye’s shopping bag.

The crowd gasped.

A few people covered their mouths.

Some instinctively turned to look at Evelyn, their faces filled with realization and disgust.

The murmurs started immediately.

“She did it!” “Oh my God” “We accused Lady Chineye for nothing?” “So it was Evelyn all along?” Evelyn froze.

Her face drained of all color.

Her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides, but she forced herself to stay calm.

No.

No.

No.

This wasn’t happening.

She had been so careful!

She thought no one had seen her!

How did this little nobody catch her?!

Her mind raced, desperately searching for an excuse, an escape, anything Lady Chineye stared at the video, her chest rising and falling heavily.

Her fingers curled at her sides as she realized everything.

The betrayal.

The deceit.

The shamelessness of Evelyn standing beside her just moments ago, pretending to be innocent.

Her eyes stung with unshed tears.

Not because she was weak.

But because she had defended Evelyn for so long, despite all the red flags.

The manager’s face darkened.

Her stomach twisted in shame.

She had almost punished the wrong person, and not just anyone, but the daughter of a powerful Duke.

She turned sharply toward Evelyn, her voice like ice.

“Explain this.” Nnenna leaned back slightly, arms crossed.

A small, knowing smirk tugged at her lips.

She didn’t need to say anything.

The video spoke for itself.

Evelyn was finished.

A thick silence settled over the store as the video ended.

The crowd, which had been so eager to condemn Lady Chineye moments ago, now shifted uncomfortably, realizing they had made a terrible mistake.

The truth was undeniable.

Chineye had been framed.

And Evelyn?

She had played them all for fools.

The same people who had been so quick to shout for Chineye’s arrest were now stumbling over their words, desperate to fix their mistake.

An older man, who had previously called for her to be handcuffed on the spot, cleared his throat loudly.

“Ah, well…

I never truly believed she was guilty,” he said, his voice suddenly full of wisdom.

“I only wanted a fair trial for her.” Fair trial?

Five minutes ago, he had practically demanded her execution.

A woman who had been one of Evelyn’s loudest defenders nervously adjusted her shawl and spoke with forced confidence.

“I always had a bad feeling about that Evelyn,” she declared, her voice shaking just slightly.

“Something about her never sat right with me.” Chineye turned to stare at her.

Was this not the same woman who had looked her in the eyes and called her a thief?

Another customer, who had insisted that Chineye was caught red handed, suddenly took a deep, knowing breath, as if she had been wise all along.

“These kinds of things happen all the time,” she said, shaking her head in fake sympathy.

“People are always trying to bring noble families down.” How convenient.

Now that the truth was out, she was suddenly an expert in false accusations.

Chineye felt a bitter laugh rise in her throat.

The hypocrisy was almost funny.

The crowd’s embarrassment quickly turned into anger.

Not at themselves, no, of course not.

They needed someone to blame.

And Evelyn had just painted a target on her back.

“That wretched girl played us all!” someone hissed from the side.

“I can’t believe I stood up for her,” another muttered, their face twisted in disgust.

One noblewoman, her face red with fury, clenched her fists.

“She made me go against Lady Chineye, do you know what that means?!” Evelyn’s hands trembled at her sides.

The confidence she had carried just moments ago was completely gone.

Her body stiffened as she felt the weight of their glares, their hatred, their vows for revenge.

Someone whispered under their breath, “She’ll pay for this.” And from the looks of it, Evelyn knew that her troubles were only just beginning.
