Anna Campbell smiled gloomily and deliberately brushed her hair back to reveal the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Sara Wendleton was dazzled by the emerald green color and sarcastically said, “That’s right! The Russell family also sent a set of jewelry over, but only gave it to my cousin, not you. This is a priceless jade bracelet. Cousin’s grandmother, Mrs. Russell, really loves her, so she generously sent such a valuable piece of jade!”

“And there isn’t just this bracelet; there’s also an emerald ring! Cousin, where did your ring go?” Sara looked at Anna’s fingers and asked in surprise.

Anna calmly replied, “I tried on a few rings earlier, so I took it off and put it…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her face turned pale. “My ring! Where did my ring go?”

Everyone was shocked in an instant.

Anna’s emerald ring was a birthday gift from Mrs. Russell. Although it was just a small ring, its quality and design made it a valuable collectible, worth at least 10 million dollars.

This was a huge sum of money for ordinary people!

And now the ring had disappeared inside the store!

The store manager was anxious. If the ring was really lost, they would bear a great responsibility. Being fired would be the least of their worries. If Miss Campbell demanded compensation, selling themselves wouldn’t be enough to cover it.

He quickly reassured her, “Miss Campbell, please don’t worry. We have surveillance cameras in our store. I will investigate immediately and find the whereabouts of the ring.”

Anna nodded indifferently, her cold gaze falling on Xaviera Evans. She spoke softly, “It’s all right. Maybe I was just careless. It won’t be lost.”

But after everyone searched for a while, they still couldn’t find the ring.

At that moment, the clerk rushed out and nervously said, “We… we checked the surveillance footage, and it seems Miss Campbell put the ring in her own bag… How could it…”

One of Anna’s friends immediately stepped forward and asked, “Did anyone approach Anna after that?”

The clerk stammered, “Miss Campbell and Miss Evans bumped into each other, but…”

Without waiting for him to finish, Sara’s eyes widened, her face mocking. “It seems someone intentionally bumped into my cousin, then stole her ring!”

The room went silent.

Xaviera laughed coldly.

Anna frowned, “It’s impossible. Xaviera is my sister, and our parents give her an allowance. She has no reason to steal my ring!”

“Besides, if Xaviera liked this ring, I would give it to her. She wouldn’t need to steal it in public!”

Anna pretended to defend Xaviera, then glanced coyly at the handsome man beside her.

Why should that man be married to such a wild country girl who climbed her way into the upper class? If Xaviera was caught stealing in public and her reputation was ruined, would Mr. Caleb Mamet still love her?

The country girl Xaviera, who had climbed into the upper class, wanted to compete with Miss Campbell for her position in the Campbell family. It was a fool’s dream!

Anna was certain, “It’s impossible! It can’t be Xaviera!”

The store manager also looked troubled, as the people in front of him were all from powerful and wealthy aristocratic families. They couldn’t afford to offend any of them. Besides, none of them lacked money and had no reason to steal. In the end, it was their store staff who were the most suspicious, as the ring alone was worth enough for them to spend a lifetime.

The clerks immediately defended themselves nervously, “Miss Campbell, it’s not us! How dare we steal your stuff! If you doubt us, come and search us! We are willing to prove our innocence!”

Anna’s friends immediately searched the clerks, turning their pockets and bags inside out, but found nothing.

Now everyone was even more anxious. Since Anna had lost something so valuable, everyone was under suspicion. Although they were all daughters of noble families, none of them could compare to the Campbell family, and they certainly did not dare to offend Anna.

At this moment, one of the ladies spoke up, “Anna, since you’ve lost something so valuable, if it hasn’t fallen on the floor, it must have been stolen. Everyone is under suspicion, so why don’t we search everyone’s belongings? Then we might find out who the thief is.”

Anna smirked triumphantly, as this was the effect she wanted.
