Chapter 328
Shirley’s words were sharp and piercing but automatically transited into various languages and transmitted to the guess carpieces
Having something stolen was a big deal, especially jewelry. Although Shirley’s piece wasn’t the most expensive, it was still rare compared to ordinary jewels on the market.
David took it very seriously. He stepped down from the stage and walked over to Shirley. He asked, “Ms Jones, what did you say? Was your jewelry stolen?”
The thief must still be here. To steal at an event Shirley looked like the sky had fallen. She replied, “Lock down the venue like this is bold; we must catch the thief. Shirley glanced at Cynthia out of the corner of her eye.
Cynthia was still sitting on her own couch at this moment, with her purse by her side. Shirley felt quite satisfied with herself Shirley had been watching Cynthia’s every move. Finally, when Cynthia went to the bathroom, Shirley followed her
Taking advantage of the moment when Cynthia left her purse outside and went in, Shirley slipped the rose brooch into a hidden compartment in Cynthia’s bag. Even if Cynthia opened her bag, she wouldn’t find it without a thorough inspection.
Shirley watched as Cynthia returned with her bag, even stopping to touch up her makeup, and remained unaware. Feeling satisfied, Shirley then shouted that her jewelry had been stolen.
David quickly arranged for the security team to come over. Shirley was still causing a commotion.
David reassured Shirley slightly, saying, ‘Ms. Jones, rest assured Since the auction began, no one has entered or left the venue. So if your jewelry is missing, it must still be here.
Seemingly assertive, Shirley said, “I spent 16 million dollars on that jewelry, and now it’s been stolen right under your noses You can’t deny your responsibility.
“Allowing a thief in here highlights how weak your security system is. I’m beginning to doubt the credibility of QUEEN Who would want to attend QUEEN’s events if you can’t safeguard your guests‘ property?”
Shirley wanted to make as much fuss as possible. The more onlookers there were, the more embarrassed Cynthia and Jonathan would be when they showed up.
David saw Shirley’s unreasonable behavior and frowned with displeasure, Just then, Simon came over.
When David saw Simon, he respectfully called, “Mr. Wright Simon walked over, glanced at Shirley, and asked coldly, “What’s happening here?”
Looking at Simon before her, Shirley’s heart skipped a beat. Simon was charming, altogether the authoritative type, exuding an aura of superiority. Shirley couldn’t help but imagine if Simon could be gentle with her….
Shirley didn’t expect this issue to catch Simon’s attention. It was a pleasant surprise.
Before David could speak, Shirley began with a confident tone. She said, “Mr. Wright, the jewelry I just bought for 16 million dollars was stolen Aren’t you responsible for this? You must find the thief today, or I won’t let it rest.”
Simon glanced at Shirley coldly, his voice as icy as his look, saying, “Ms. Jones, if your jewelry was indeed stolen, we will catch the thief and provide you with a proper explanation.
But if you staged this and is falsely accusing someone, then we expect you to explain it to all of us.”
Shirley shuddered inside at those words but kept herself composed. She replied, “Mr. Wright, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would hide my own jewelry to make false accusations against you all?
Chapter 328
“My jewelry was stolen, and the thief is definitely among us. Let search everyone. Whoever has the jewelry is the thief
When Shirley said this, everyone looked at her with frustration and disdain. Even Whitney thought she was being too naive.
The people here today were of prestigious status. How could they agree to a body search? Someone immediately voiced their objection.
Someone said, “Ms. Jones, you bought the least valuable piece. Apart from you, I doubt anyone else would be interested in it Who would want to steal your stuff?”
Another one said, “A body search? What gives you the right to order one? I’m the royal heir. How dare you insult me like this?”
One person said, “Who is this woman causing so much trouble? still want to see the Queen’s Tears!”
Another person questioned. “When did the QUEEN’s standards get so low that someone like her could come in?”
One person answered, “She seems to be a friend of Ms. Bennett, Ms. Whitney is the one who brought her in”
Although they were speaking in their language, their words were automatically translated into Shirley’s ear through her earpiece.
Shirley knew they were all mocking and looking down on her. Even Whitney’s look at Shirley was filled with disdain as if Whitney regretted bringing Shirley along.
Shirley realized she had said the wrong thing. These people were prominent, and the word search was a big insult to them. So Shirley quickly said, Tm not suspecting everyone. I think one person might be the thief.”
Simon’s gaze grew colder as he spoke bluntly, “Ms. Jones, do you have someone in mind? Who is it?”
Shirley had been waiting for this moment. She suddenly turned around, pointing her finger at Cynthia’s face. She said. “It’s her, Cynthia.”
In no time, all eyes were on Cynthia. Jonathan’s face immediately turned cold. He put his arm around Cynthia’s shoulder and asked, “Shirley, what are you up to now?”
Shirley said, “You’re right. This jewel isn’t valuable, but only Cynthia and I kept bidding for it during the auction. Everyone saw how much she wanted it.
“Now my jewel is gone, so it must be Cynthia who couldn’t stand losing to me and took it when I wasn’t looking.”
Shirley’s accusation was assertive. She approached Cynthia and continued, “Cynthia, do you dare to let everyone see your bag? If the brooch isn’t in there, I’ll apologize to you. But if it is, then you’re the thief.
At that moment, Jonathan completely saw through Shirley’s trick
He thought, ‘Shirley must have already slipped the jewelry into Cynthia’s bag and is now trying to accuse her, acting out the saying, Thief shouting, catch the thief. She aims to label Cynthia as a thief and ruin her reputation publicly.”
No matter what, Jonathan wasn’t going to let Shirley succeed. He stepped forward and said coldly, “Shirley, you the right to search my wife’s bag, and I absolutely won’t allow you to slander her like this.
don’t have
“If you claim my wife is a thief, then provide your evidence instead of making her prove her innocence after being defamed
