The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 781

“How could someone possibly stab themselves?”

“What is Letty even thinking? This is just crazy.”

“Why would she hurt herself so badly just to frame Stella? What could she possibly get out of it?”

“Does anyone understand this? Because I’m totally lost!”

For a while, social media was flooded with comments. Nobody could figure out what Letty was trying to pull.

“What are you even saying?”

Fedelia froze at Dewitt’s words, then immediately got defensive. “The knife was in Stella’s hand. How could Letty have hurt herself? That doesn't make sense. You have to check the evidence again.”

She thought they had an agreement. Dewitt was supposed to take Letty’s side. He was backing out now and she hadn’t seen it coming.

Letty’s fingers gripped the bedsheet so tightly her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her lashes trembled with panic.

“Dewitt, I think you owe us an explanation,” Roger said. He was sitting next to Charlotte, flipping through Letty’s medical file. His gaze was sharp and expectant.

“Yes,” Dewitt answered, wiping sweat from his forehead. He turned to face the camera and spoke slowly, clearly. “Besides the knife wound, there’s also a bruise on Stella’s hand. It was caused by some kind of force, not the dagger.”

The camera zoomed in. Sure enough, there was an ugly bruise between Stella’s right thumb and index finger.

It didn’t look like something a knife would cause.

“If I’m right, Stella was holding both the knife and her phone at the time,” Dewitt continued.

A police officer checked the records and nodded. “That’s true.”

Stella had said in her statement that Letty stole her phone and she was trying to get it back.
