    Yvette stood calmly in the center of the crowd, her sharp, icy gaze slicing through the chatter. She nced at the busty woman with an air of authority and said coldly, "You didn''t have the diamond watch on when you entered the elevator."


    The statementnded like a thunderp, silencing some of the murmurs. Just then, Sienna pushed her way through the crowd, her towering heels clicking decisively on the marble floor. The busty woman, who had been the picture of arrogance moments earlier, quickly softened her demeanor.


    Before Sienna could reach Yvette, the busty woman stepped into her path, putting on a sweet, simpering tone. "Oh, Ms. Sterling, thank goodness you''re here! This woman somehow sneaked into the event. We were in the elevator together, and as soon as we got off, my limited-edition diamond watch was missing! It''s worth ten million. I didn''t want to cause a scene at Ms. Winslow''s event, but she refused to admit it. What else could I do? The busty woman hinted that she wasn''t making a fuss out of respect for Hazel. By saying that, she wanted to leave a good impression on Sienna and Hazel.


    Without waiting for Sienna to say anything, the busty woman continued, "Now that you''re here, Ms. Sterling, you''ve got give me an exnation. My diamond watch is worth ten million dors!"


    The mention of the price tag sent a ripple through the crowd. Their scornful remarks came in quick session:


    "Exactly! This girl must have taken it. There''s no other exnation"


    "I mean, we''re all people of status here. None of us would stoop to such lowly acts."


    E DO


    This poor woman is being so kind, trying to handle this quietly for Ms. Winslow''s sake, yet this girl doesn''t even appreciate it. They should call the police right now!"


    “Yeah, just arrest her already! She''s ruined the whole mood of the event."


    Sienna, watching the growing frenzy, clenched her jaw. She thought, Thief? Call the police? Are these people out of their minds?''


    Yvette could have dozens of diamond watches given to her as gifts. Ten million dors meant nothing.


    Of everyone here, no one would dare talk about status in front of Yvette. Sienna was ready to knock some sense into this busty woman. She took a deep breath, looking past the crowd at Yvette.


    Sienna exhaled slowly, realizing Yvette had no intention of revealing her identity as the mastermind behind Vibe-at least not yet.


    Turning her attention back to the user, Sienna''s expression hardened. The sharp lines of her smoky eye makeup entuated her steely


    demeanor, and her towering frame loomed over the other woman, exuding an icy, almost intimidating aura.


    Sienna''s voice dropped to an arctic chill. "Excuse me, ma''am, bur using someone without evidence is nder, not justice. If you genuinely believe a theft urred, call the police immediately rather than stirring up a baseless scene."


    She stepped closer, her cold gaze locking onto the busty woman That being said, I find itughable to suggest my friend would need to steal a watch-especially one worth only ten million. I doubt she''d even bother to look at it."


    Sienna''s words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone. All eyes turned to the calm and unbothered girl in the center of the crowd. No one had imagined that the girl in a tracksuit was Sienna''s friend.


    Without ncing at the busty woman, Sienna turned on her heel and strolled to Yvette. "Yvette, you''re finally here! I''m sorry I didn''te down to meet you earlier. Let''s go someone''s been waiting for you."

    Yvette''s icy eyes lifted to meet Sienna''s, Sienna knew Yvette wouldn''t be upset about such trivial matters. This entire scene was nothing more than a petty sideshow to Yvette.


    The busty woman noticed the crowd''s sudden silence and Sienna''s apparent deference toward Yvette. Her expression twisted. She''d already used Yvette in front of everyone-if she didn''t see this through, her reputation would be in shambles.


    She''d be aughingstock in the socialite circle if word got out. The busty woman nced at Sienna, fully aware of her prominence in fashion. Still, letting it go so easily was unbearable-after all, it was ten million dors on the line.


    Forcing herself to maintainposure, she addressed Sienna again. "Ms. Sterling, even if this girl is your friend, that doesn''t mean she didn''t steal my diamond watch. You shouldn''t take sides just because you''re close to her. Isn''t that a bit unfair?"


    Sienna turned back to the busty woman with a coldugh, then pulled out her phone and waved it. "If you want justice, it''s simple. I''ll call the police right now. They can handle this. If my friend didn''t take your watch, I''ll ensure you''re prosecuted for defamation. I''m sure everyone here will dly testify on my behalf."


    The crowd gasped. The firm resolve in Sienna''s tone left the busty woman visibly flustered. usations of defamation in Mysonna were no joke, and she didn''t have a shred of evidence the police proved Yvette''s innocence, she''d end up in deep legal trouble.


    Caught between a rock and a hard ce, the busty woman''s gaze darted nervously beforending on Yvette. Clearly, no wealthy person would dress so inly. Surely, this girl was just one of Sienna''s less fortunate acquaintances.


    Her attitude towards Yvette softened just a tad. "Hey you, why are you hiding behind Ms. Sterling? Why don''t you exin yourself if you didn''t take the watch?"


    Hands tucked casually in her pockets, Yvette''s nonchnt smirk sent a shiver down the busty woman''s spine. "And what''s there to exin to a delusional, brainless woman who makes things up as she goes?" Yvette''s words were like a p across the face.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Sienna let out augh. "Delusional and brainless-she couldn''t have put it better herself. The phrase fits the woman perfectly.


    As Siennaughed, the onlookers also began to chuckle, their ridicule echoing through the hall. The busty woman''s face turned crimson, her venomous gaze darting between Yvette and Sienna.


    The busty woman hissed, unable to maintain her falseposure, "Fine, Sienna! You''re Ms. Winslow''s prized student and the head designer of Vibe. But is this how you treat a guest at her party? I''ll be sure to tell Ms. Winslow about this. Mark my words-you haven''t heard thest of me!”


    Before anyone could respond, a low, menacing voice cut through the tension like a de. “And who exactly do you n on having thest word with?"


    All eyes turned to the elevator doors as a man stepped out. A faint scar near his brow did nothing to diminish his striking. chiseled features. Instead, it added an air of enigmatic allure.


    He stood tall, his presence exuding a mix of nobility and grace, with an undercurrent of predatory.sharpness in his gaze. Hismanding aura was so intense that even Sienna found herself momentarily frozen.


    The only exception was Yvette, who lifted her gaze toward him with a frown.
