Chapter 144
The Woods family sat on the sofa in the living rooms, waiting for the servants to search for the missing necklace.
Nina, holding a greasy chicken drumstick, was casually munching on it, grumbling in annoyance, “10’s just a stupid necklace. Do we really need to make such a big deal about it! I can’t even finishs my breakfast in peace”
Jessica, northearing this, shot Nita a furious glare. “What do you mean stupid necklace‘? Nina, if you don’t understand its value, just shut up. That necklace is a masterpiece by the famous jewelry designer Violet. Do you even know hoone mucls it’s worth?”
Nina didn’t know how to respond to Jessica’s comment.
“Artistic value! Nina thought. The design for that necklace was something I doodled while I was on the toilet.
She didn’t want to waste her time, so she had quickly sketched out the designs whenever she had a free moment. Anyway, once Clifford worked his magic, the designs were always praised to the bewe
But now, hearing Jessica gushing over it and accusing Nina of not appreciating it, Nina’s mood turned complicated,
She had no idea how to reply to Jessica
So instead, she just calmly took another bite of her chicken drumstick.
Jessica wasn’t done yet. Grinding her teeth, she spat out, “And by the way, I paid 29 million dollars for that necklace. Do you know that the average person will never even earn enough for a single necklace in their entire life?”
Nina casually replied, “Nope, I don’t know.”
Jessica sneered. “I guess someone like you, coming from the countryside, wouldn’t know.”
Nina rolled her eyes.
She really didn’t know. But for her, making money was easy. Clifford always paid her well, no matter what.
Jessica’s arrogant attitude just seemed pitiful to Nina.
Bat Nina couldn’t be bothered to argue and ruin her enjoyment of the chicken frumstick. She waved her hand dismissively. “Do whatever you
As long as Jessica didn’t bother her, Nina didn’t care how much she made a scene.
Seeing Nina’s indifference and how she didn’t even want to engage, Jessica was seething. She clenched her fists, cursing to herself, ‘Damn Nina, you won’t be so cocky for long. Today, we’re kicking you out for good‘
Before long, servant hurried downstairs, reporting, “We found the necklace
At these words, everyone turned to look
Solana, feigning excitement, asked, “You found it! Thank goodness! Where was it?”
The servant hesitated, glancing nervously at Charlie before replying. I… it was in Nina’s friend’s room”
“What?” Nina stopped chewing the chicken drumstick, turning her head to stare at the servant. “Are you serious? How could the necklace be in Charlie’s room Did you plant in there and try to frame him?”
The servant was started by Nina’s accusation, his face turning pale. He shook his head desperately. “No, Nina. I would never do something like

The truth, however, was that Rachel Had ordered the servant to secretly hide the necklace in Charlie’s room the night before
Now that Nina had pointed it out, the servant couldn’t help but feel guilty.
i know you. But I do know that Charlie would
But Nina wasn’t about to let him off easy. “How would i know what you’re capable of? I don’t even k never steal anything”
If Churlie wanted something, he would take it openly
“Nina, you. The servant was left
it flustered by Nina’s repeated attacks.

Chapter 144
Solana, seeing things were escalating, immediately raised her voice, scolding Nina, “You wretch. The necklace was found in your friend’s room, and instead of feeling guilty and admitting your mistake, you’re still accusing others? Nina, what kind of person are you?“
“What kind of person am I?” Nina shot back. “Solana, stop picking lights with me. Charlie didn’t steal anything. Someone is framing him, and if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll bury you right here.”
“You!” Solana was so enraged by Nina’s words that she nearly had a heart attack.
“Mom Rachel quickly stepped in to support her mother, trying to calm her down. Solana glared at Darell, fuming. “Darell, are you just going to sit there and watch? That little thug stole Jessica’s necklace, and now we have him caught red–handed. You’re not going to cover for him, are you?”
Darell glanced at Solana calmly and replied, “Mom, Nina has a point. There’s still a possibility that this is a frame–up. We don’t have enough evidence yet to accuse anyone. We can’t just slander people without proof
“Are you saying that Jessica framed Nina’s friend?” Solana demanded, her voice sharp.
Hearing this, Jessica burst into loud sobs. “It’s not me! Dad, you’re so biased! I’ve had my things stolen, and now you think I’m the one framing others! Am I not your daughter anymore? Why are you so unfair!”
“How am I being biased?” Nina retorted. “This situation is crystal clear. Charlie didn’t steal anything. Your necklace is in his room, which means you had someone put it there. And you, Jessica, you’re the one who’s pretending to be the victim while being the thief. You can’t even admit to your own actions, Pathetic”
Jessica was stunned. This idiot Nina, how did she figure out our whole plan so quickly! Is she an idiot
or what!”
Jessica was completely taken aback
Everything was spiraling out of control in a way she never expected
