Kevin's chest rose and fell to the rhythm of his rapid breathing. He felt so unlucky that right now, he had to be caught up in his own game even though he had no idea how Leo's jewelry and belongings were with him.

"I'm not a thief, and no one can say I'm a thief because I didn't do that." Kevin continued to defend himself.

His gaze was now fixed on Leo, but it was useless for both of them to do anything because the evidence pointed to them. Especially now that everyone was accusing him.

Kevin approached Leo, and he said, "How could this happen. Why is your stuff with me?" He said it in a whisper and didn't want anyone to hear their words.

"I don't know what happened. I made sure everything worked out. But I didn't know it would end like this." Leo said that in a low voice as well. This made both of them feel upset. In fact, they were convinced that it was Cesare who had deliberately set them up.

Cesare's gaze, this time, was fixed on a stream that was not far from him. Finally Cesare chose to sit on the banks of the river and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Cesare exhaled his breath. His gaze was still fixed on the river water that looked calm in front of him. Cesare took out his cell phone and took the time to read some of the messages on his cell phone. "No interesting news today," he muttered softly. But afterwards, Cesare put his phone back in his pants pocket. After that, he got up from there.

In fact, he never missed a chance to watch his father fighting chess with his friend. And Cesare still remembered the words that his father always said every time his father ran the pawns there.
