Chapter 881:

Yvonne forced a laugh. “I haven’t been to your room, so how could it be there? Caden, I wouldn’t suspect you of anything.”

“Then was it a ghost that sent Jolie to knock on my door?” Caden asked, his tone detached.

Yvonne’s expression tightened.

Before she could respond heatedly, Caden cut her off. “If the bracelet is that valuable, then conduct a thorough search. Jolie, go check the room.”

Jolie glanced at Yvonne, anticipating her eventual embarrassment.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the bracelet’s box was discovered in Alicia’s bag. Descending with the bag, Jolie expressed her astonishment. “Did the bracelet grow legs?”

Yvonne, unable to restrain herself, snapped, “Are you joking? Bracelets don’t just walk away!”

She advanced, gripping the jewelry box tightly, her eyes scanning the bag.

Feigning surprise, she queried, “Caden, whose bag is this? How did my bracelet end up in here?”

Alicia openly admitted, “That’s my bag.”

Yvonne exhaled a dramatic sigh and, with a mix of helplessness and benevolence, said, “Ms. Bennett, if you admired my bracelet, you should have just told me. I would have been happy to buy one for you. Why resort to stealing? This creates such an awkward situation for everyone.”

With those words, she had effectively accused Alicia.

Alicia remained composed and glanced at the box in Yvonne’s hand. “Yvonne, what bracelet are you talking about?”

Caught off guard by the question, Yvonne retorted, “Alicia, there’s no point in playing dumb. I showed it to you today. Benedict bought it for four million.”noveldrama

“Isn’t that just a box? Where’s the bracelet?”

Frustrated, Yvonne assumed Alicia was feigning ignorance and rolled her eyes as she opened the box. “It’s right…” Before she could finish, her expression shifted to horror when she saw that the box was empty.

She screamed, “Where’s my bracelet?” Yvonne’s face drained of color as she pointed at Alicia. “Where did you take my bracelet?”

Alicia blinked innocently. “Yvonne, why are you asking me? You’ve been talking about this expensive bracelet, but has anyone actually seen it?”

This turn of events unnerved Yvonne. Terrified that Alicia might have taken the bracelet, she blurted out, “What do you mean? That bracelet was my wedding gift, and everyone knows it!”

“But did anyone actually see you wearing it today?” Yvonne’s eyes widened.

She had only worn it briefly at the hotel and had quickly put it back in the box, intending to frame Alicia.

Realizing that no one had seen it, Yvonne anxiously replied, “Didn’t you see it? I showed it to you earlier!”
