Chapter 125 - 124: Damn It!
After Sheldon Shawn came to his senses, he snatched the watch from South Grant’s hand.
Pointing at South Grant angrily, he said:
"This is clearly my watch. You must have taken advantage when everything was chaotic earlier, secretly hid the watch in my schoolbag, and then took it out. This way, you could clear yourself of suspicion and also falsely accuse me."
He wasn’t wrong. Earlier, South Grant had indeed hidden the watch in his sleeve and took it out while searching Sheldon Shawn’s bag.
But what if he guessed it right? The initiative was now in South Grant’s hands.
Even if he figured it out, South Grant wouldn’t give him any chance.
"Are you sure this watch is yours?" South Grant now wore an enigmatic smile on his lips.
"This is mine. You stole it from me!"
South Grant didn’t refute his words. Instead, he asked leisurely, "Since you say it’s yours, then where’s the evidence? You just said everything requires evidence. How can you prove this watch is yours?"
Sheldon Shawn was taken aback by South Grant’s question. There was no name engraved on the watch; he couldn’t prove it was his.
However, Sheldon Shawn’s mind was sharp. He then retorted to South Grant:
"Then how can you prove this watch is yours?"
"Very simple." South Grant smiled, then reached out to grab Sheldon Shawn’s wrist, raising it in front of everyone. He spoke to all the classmates and teachers:
"The last time I wore this watch climbing, I accidentally dropped it into a crevice, and when I retrieved it, the back of the watch got scratched. You said your dad just gave you this watch; it should be brand new. And the back of my watch has scratch marks. Turn the watch over for everyone to see, and the truth will be clear."
As South Grant spoke, he forcefully twisted Sheldon Shawn’s hand, revealing the watch in front of everyone.
Then South Grant turned the watch over, and everyone saw the back of the watch.
Indeed, just as South Grant said, there were two or three scratch marks.
Sheldon Shawn was also stunned, not understanding what had happened.
How could it be like this?
Why was South Grant’s watch in his schoolbag?
No, this wasn’t South Grant’s watch; it was his!
South Grant must have tampered with it somehow, but now he had no evidence to prove the watch was his.
Sheldon Shawn could only angrily curse at South Grant:
"This is all your scheme. Teacher, don’t believe him!"
The class teacher looked at Sheldon Shawn with a look of disappointment at this time.
The teacher’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, dissatisfied that this small matter couldn’t be handled, causing him embarrassment too.
The teacher, having experienced many things, knew that no matter what Sheldon Shawn said now, no one would believe him. South Grant had personally found the watch and provided proof.
The teacher could only sternly reprimand Sheldon Shawn:
"Joking between classmates should have limits. Such jokes shouldn’t happen again. Now, quickly apologize to South Grant."
South Grant saw the teacher wanted to brush it off lightly and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
Set her up, framed her, and now wanted to get away so easily? Not a chance.
"So stealing is a joke? Then isn’t Celestia’s law just a joke book?" South Grant raised her brows slightly.
At this moment, her entire imposing manner highlighted the sharpness in her eyebrows, giving a sense of oppression.
It’s not that I’m unforgiving; it’s that others won’t forgive me.
This time she cleverly resolved the crisis, but what about next time?
If she hadn’t resolved this crisis, the label of theft would have stuck with her for life. Now with a simple joke, they wanted to dismiss it?
Ha, last year I bought a watch!
