The search began, and all eyes were on Susan.


    Josie watched eagerly, anticipating the moment the ring would be found.


    But then…


    After a short while, the waitress who did the search said, “There’s nothing on her.


    ”


    Josie was shocked.


    “How can that be?! She must have hidden it somewhere else!”


    Madisyn quickly questioned, “Josie, why are you so sure she has the ring? Did you put it in her pocket yourself?”


    Josie faltered, taken aback by Madisyn’s intense scrutiny as if her secrets wereid bare.


    Feeling guilty, she stammered, “Well, she… she’s the only one around who would stoop to that!”


    “Do you think wealth makes you better and allows you to falsely use others? My friend might not be as wealthy as you, but she’s ambitious, she’s polite, and she wouldn’t wrongly use anyone! She’s nothing like you, who might be rich but clearly Lack good manners and make baseless usations,” Madisyn retorted sharply.


    Josie’s expression turned grim.


    How could Madisyn say shecked manners!


    Madisyn said without emotion, “Your ring is missing, but really, it could have been taken by anyone here.


    ”


    Glenn quickly proposed, “Then, let’s all check our bags.


    ”


    The ring Josie spoke of was indeed precious.


    Hearing Glenn’s suggestion, everyone promptly opened their bags.


    As expected, the ring was not found.


    “No one here has it.


    Susan must have hidden it somewhere.


    I can’t believe anyone else would take my ring.


    ” Josie continued to use Susan.


    Driven to tears, Susan burst out, “This is outrageous! You’re ndering me!”


    “There are still some people we haven’t searched,” Madisyn said, looking towards Josie’s friends.


    One of them, a woman with red hair, was the one who had bumped into Susan earlier.


    Josieughed off the suspicion.


    “They’re my close friends.


    Why would they take my ring?”


    Yet Kristine said softly, “It’s fine, Josie.


    If Madisyn thinks it’s necessary, we should let her check.


    ”


    With that, she opened her own bag.


    Though some of them looked at Madisyn with disdain, they reluctantly opened their bags too.


    Josie crossed her arms, scoffing.


    “Anyone might steal from me, but not them!”novelbin


    Suddenly, a glint caught everyone’s eye in the red-haired woman’s bag.
