Chapter 249

Mamie dumped everything out of her bag onto the floor.

All kinds of expensive cosmetics, including two pieces of jewelry worth five million dollars being

auctioned today, were tossed carelessly on the ground.

In the end, she threw her bag on the floor in anger

The bag was sponsored by a top brand, not her personal property. It was encrusted with countless

diamonds, worth a fortune.

Her tantrum was surprising to say the least

But indeed, the ruby was not in the bag.

If the ruby was stolen tonight, it must still be in the exhibition hall.

Now, countless people were outside, using inframed to search, but it was no use

The most probable scenario was that the thief hid the ruby on their body

And the two most suspicious people were dressed in evening gowns, without pockets, they couldn’t

possibly hide the ruby on them.

So, the ruby could only be in their handbags.

No wonder the manager insisted on checking.

Although Mamie had dumped everything out of her bag the manager still carefully checked it himself.

In the end, he reorganized her things and returned the bag to Mamie: “Ms. Mamie, I’m sorry, we’re just

following procedures, please understand.”

Of course, Mamie wouldn’t agree: “You’ll be hearing from my lawyer”

Then, the manager finished inspecting Mamie’s bag and went to Agnes: “Ms. Pritchard, I’m sorry, but

we also have to check your bag. If you feel uncomfortable doing this in public, we can go to another

room”

Agnes didn’t hesitate and passed her bag over.

She didn’t steal any jewelry, so she wasn’t afraid of being checked.

Since Mamie had proven her innocence, if Agnes acted suspiciously, it would only make people

suspect her more

Moreover, a few minutes ago, Agnes had just opened her bag to check the time, there was nothing

inside.

Agnes wasn’t afraid of being checked either

The security manager took Agnes’s bag and began searching through it

After a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled but a ruby necklace from the bag. He

handed the necklace to Agnes and asked, “Ms. Pritchard, what’s going on?”

The atmosphere in the exhibition hall immediately tensed up and erupted into commotion. Accusations

flew, claiming that Agnes, the mistress of the Tim Group. was the thief. People expressed disbelief that

such a beautiful woman would resort to theft.

Agnes was bewildered and shocked. She knew she hadn’t stolen the ruby, but it was found in her bag.

There was only one plausible explanation: someone had set her up. The only person she could think of

who might do this was Mamie.

Mamie had always harbored hatred towards her, and they were the only ones who had been to that

place.

Agnes clenched her hands, feeling the weight of the situation. She stared coldly at Mamie, whose

expression was complex, neither showing off nor remorseful, but rather displaying a hint of contempt

Agnes couldn’t help but admire Mamie’s acting skills, even in this troubling situation.

Agnes said, “I didn’t steal the ruby, and I don’t know how the ruby ended up in my bag. If you don’t

believe me, you can call the police and get this thoroughly investigated

If Agnes didn’t do it, she absolutely wouldn’t admit it.

The surrounding gossip became more intense.

“I can’t believe she’s still arguing, isn’t the ruby the best evidence?”

“The hundred-year reputation of the Whitfield family is ruined by a woman.”

“Look at her arrogant face, as if the whole world owes her something. What an actress, she really

knows how to act”
