“Tell me now or I will call the police and have you arrested for theft,” Jacintha said in a firm, threatening tone. Her voice was laced with authority.

Then, she raised her hands as high as Amelia could possibly see while hiding the same from the other people shopping.

When she had raised her hand high enough, Amelia saw a piece of diamond wristband in her hand–The one she was wearing when she came into the shop earlier.

“Tell me now or I will raise the alarm and you will be arrested and no one will save a hypocritical pauper like you”

Seeing the angle that Jacintha was holding the diamond wristband close to her body, it will be very difficult for anyone to believe that she didn't steal the wristband but was in fact planted by Jacintha.
