All Chapters of When Yesterday Came Back: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Brother-in-law!” Joana cried out. “How can you still believe her when everyone just saw the bracelet fall from her bag? That only proves she stole it!”Joana couldn’t understand why Knight was still siding with Alia, still believing that country bumpkin was innocent.“Aunt Joana is right, Mr. Silvercrest,” Kristina added. “Are you really going to side with a thief instead of me—the victim?”Instead of answering them, Knight turned to Alia. “Are you certain you haven’t touched it?” he asked, wanting to confirm her earlier statement that she hadn’t even touched the bracelet once.Alia nodded firmly. “Of course I’m sure. This is the first time I’ve ever seen it,” she said.“Alia, stop insisting that you haven’t touched it,” Rhea said gently, as if trying to help. “We all saw Kristina’s bracelet fall from your bag. Please stop lying. If you admit your mistake and apologize to Kristina and the Anderson family, they might forgive you. I’ll help you, Alia.”What Alia didn’t know was that Rh

Kristina could hardly believe what she was hearing.“Why do you think this powder you’re talking about can prove your innocence?” she asked.“Phosphorescent powder leaves a stain on the hands of anyone who touches it,” Alia explained calmly. “If we turn off the lights, the residue will glow. Whoever’s hands light up is the one who took your bracelet.”At those words, Rhea felt a jolt of panic. She couldn’t believe Alia had thought of this. A knot formed in her stomach as fear crept in—she was the one who had taken the bracelet. If the lights were turned off, her hands would reveal everything. She had to stop this—no matter what.“Alia,” Caspian said, calling her name. “Since you’re suggesting this, are you certain you didn’t touch the bracelet?”Alia nodded firmly. “Of course. I wouldn’t ask for this if I were the real perpetrator,” she said, her confidence unwavering.Seeing her certainty, Caspian said nothing more and signaled one of the servants to turn off the lights.“Wait!” Rhea

“If she really has evidence to prove her innocence, then let’s hear it and see what she’ll show us,” Joana said. Deep inside, she was already convinced Alia was guilty, so she did not expect anything from her.Eduardo turned to Alia. “Do you have proof?” he asked.When Rhea heard Eduardo addressing Alia, panic flickered across her face.“Of course,” Alia replied confidently, a faint smile forming on her lips. “Just turn off the lights.”Eduardo immediately frowned. “Why turn off the lights?” he asked, clearly skeptical.“Just turn them off, and you’ll find out,” Alia said nonchalantly.Seeing that Eduardo was about to agree, Rhea hurried toward him, reaching for his hand. But before she could stop him, Eduardo sharply ordered the servants.“Turn off all the lights!”The servants obeyed at once. As the room plunged into darkness, Rhea—who had been rushing forward—suddenly tripped and fell onto the cold, hard tiled floor with a loud thud.“Agh!” she screamed in pain.Groaning, Rhea trie

Joana spoke again as she struggled against the security personnel’s firm grip on her arms.“How dare you kick us out like this, Old Mr. Anderson?” she snapped, lifting her chin arrogantly. “We are invited guests. And most importantly—I am a woman of the Silvercrest family, one of the three richest families in Althoria.”Her pride was loud, deliberate—meant for everyone to hear.Yet Eduardo did not even flinch.Instead, he raised a brow, watching Joana flaunt her status as though it were armor that made her untouchable.Does she really think being Nathaniel’s daughter-in-law will make me back down? Eduardo thought coldly. Very well. I’ll make you choke on that arrogance.“You think being a Silvercrest makes you invincible?” Eduado said calmly.Joana faltered—just for a fraction of a second.This old fool really is as stubborn as the rumors say, she cursed inwardly.Regaining her composure, she softened her tone and put on a pitiful expression, clearly aiming for the sympathy of the onl

Joana flipped the card open, and her eyes widened the moment she saw the name written on it.It was Alia’s name.She slowly looked up and stared at Alia, disbelief written all over her face.“If this invitation card isn’t fake,” Joana said sharply, “then how come the staff at the entrance said they didn’t recognize it?!”Alia didn’t respond. She herself couldn’t explain what had happened, nor did she have any idea why. Instead, she turned to Eduardo, silently seeking an answer.When Eduardo met her questioning gaze, he spoke, “I told Connor to inform the people at the entrance that you were my only special guest.” He then turned to Connor. “Did you not inform our people?” he asked.Connor’s eyes flickered. Suddenly, he bowed deeply.“I’m truly sorry, Old Master,” he said. “It must have slipped my mind. I’ve been extremely busy preparing for your birthday party, and I forgot to inform the staff at the entrance.”Hearing Connor’s explanation, everyone finally understood the situation.A
