NovelBookChapter 136 With Nyla's words, everyone began to grasp the absurdity of the situation. They turned to Erin and Jacqueline with expressions of displeasure.
Jacqueline had lost her own necklace. What did that have to do with them? Why should their bags be searched because of her mistake? A necklace worth millions? They could easily afford several of those. There was no need to resort to theft.
A cold glint appeared in Erin's eyes as she noticed the unfriendly looks. from the crowd. She hadn't anticipated Nyla being so sharp-tongued and difficult to handle. Soon enough, she would make her pay. Erin sighed and said helplessly, "I suggested this to clear everyone's names and help Jacqueline find her necklace. It means a lot to her." "What does that have to do with us? If it was so important, she should've kept it safe at hinstead of wearing it out." "Exactly! She lost it herself and now wants to search our bags? I don't agree with that!" "Hah! If you care about the necklace so much, I'll buy you a new one right now. Stop delaying the charity gala." Seeing the crowd siding with Nyla, Jacqueline bit her lip, her eyes filled with disdain. If this continued, her plan to frNyla tonight would fail. She needed another approach.

"I had a tracker installed in the necklace to prevent it from getting lost." Chapter 136 As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and began tapping on the screen, seemingly searching for the necklace's location. Beside her, Tom frowned but remained silent. Soon, Jacqueline exclaimed, "Found it!" All eyes turned to her as she looked at Nyla, who stared back with cold eyes. "Ms. Jayston, I can't believe you took my necklace!" The room fell silent once again.
The Sumners were wealthy-it didn't seem likely that Nyla would steal a necklace.
However, when Erin suggested searching everyone's bags earlier, Nyla had strongly opposed it. If she wasn't guilty, why would she react so strongly? Everyone's gaze shifted to Nyla's bag, including Clark, who now looked suspicious. Earlier, he had tried to help Nyla with her bag, but she had refused. In hindsight, her reaction did seem odd. If the necklace was indeed in her bag, it would disgrace the Sumners.
"Pft!" Nyla couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected Jacqueline to lie so brazenly about having a tracker. If she hadn't known the truth, she might have been fooled.
"Ms. Rainford, are you sure?" Nyla asked calmly.
Seeing Nyla's composed demeanor, Jacqueline said coldly, "The tracker shows the necklace is closest to you. It must be in your bag. Do you dare open it to check?" Nyla nodded. "Sure, but if the necklace isn't in my bag, how do you plan to apologize? Accusing someone falsely is a crime."

Nyla raised an eyebrow. "Really?" "I stand by my word!" Jacqueline declared.

Jacqueline's face lit up with a triumphant sneer.
"Ms. Jayston, you claimed you didn't take my necklace. What is this in your bag then?" she demanded.
People near Nyla saw the necklace and began looking at her with disdain and contempt.
"Wow, I can't believe Mr. Sumner married a thief. The Sumners' reputation is ruined tonight!"
"I had a feeling something was off when she refused to let us search her bag Turns out she did steal Jacqueline's necklace!" "People from wealthy backgrounds who fall from grace can have twisted minds. Now she's stealing for money!"
