Bryan looked at Haillie with a sigh and said, "Haillie, you accidentally dropped your earring in there; be more careful next time!"
Haillie glanced at the earring in the doctor's hand, shook her head innocently, and said, "No, this earring isn't mine; I never wear this kind."
"Haillie, you're saying this earring isn't yours?" Bryan suddenly became alert. "Could someone have intentionally put it in your shoe? Someone's trying to harm you!"
This got everyone on their toes.
They've been friends since childhood; their families were close too. Who would harm a friend like this?
Byran's words surprised Haillie, and then, as if realizing something, she looked at Elinor, who was standing between Theo and Belinda, with disbelief.
"Elinor, we have no issues; why would you do this?"
Everyone looked at Elinor in surprise.
The only stranger they had just met.
And Elinor was just yawning out of boredom, raising her eyes lazily when she heard, "Hmm? Were you talking to me?"
Seeing Elinor's attitude, Haillie felt even more wronged and angry and started accusing her:
"You were the only one who tried on my boots; if it wasn't you, who else could it be? Elinor, I was just trying to lend you my shoes; if they didn't fit, that's fine, but why would you hurt me like this? As a ballet dancer, what if my foot got injured? How am I supposed to dance?"
