Chapter 300:
They then moved to another seat. Belinda fetched two glasses of fruit punch for the table and then went to the
restroom.
After returning from the restroom, Belinda continued to chat with Bethany. Darren soon joined them.
They were still talking when a shrill cry echoed through the large room. “Oh no! My necklace is missing!”
At that moment, everyone's attention was suddenly drawn to the commotion. Minna, the center of the party,
was desperately searching through her bag, her face etched with alarm and worry. “How can this be? How could
your necklace just vanish?”
Macie, standing next to her, echoed her shock.

Visibly distressed, Minna sifted through her belongings, saying, “I can’t understand it! It was right here in my bag
before | went to the bathroom. How could it disappear by the tI got back?”
It was then that Macie seemed to recall an important detail and blurted out, “Wait! Remember, you left your bag
unattended on the sink when you went to the bathroom. Could it be... Could someone have...”
She trailed off, leaving her sentence unfinished. Yet, the implication hung heavily in the air.
“If I'm not mistaken, after you and Ms. Sampson used the restroom, no one else entered,” said a young woman
nearby.
Minna and Macie exchanged looks, their faces a mix of confusion and concern.

It was at this point another woman chimed in, “But... Wasn't it Belinda who went into the restroom before
anyone else?”
With that revelation, many eyes shifted toward Belinda. Whispers quickly spread through the crowd.
“What is happening here? Could Belinda have taken Minna’s necklace?”
“That's absurd! It's just a necklace. If Belinda wanted one, couldn't she just buy one herself? Why would she
need to...?"”
When Belinda heard the murmurings, her face remained impassive, untouched by the accusations. She
maintained her poise, as if detached from the unfolding .
Minna then approached Belinda quickly.
She said, “Ms. Wright, I'm sorry to ask you this, but that necklace means a lot to me. Have you seen it
anywhere?”

Upon hearing this, Belinda scoffed, “Ms. Williamson, are you suggesting | took your necklace?”
Macie quickly stepped in and said, “Ms. Wright, Minna didn’t mean it in a bad way. She is merely asking you this
because you used the restroom first. You were still inside when we went in, and no one else went in after that.”
“So, are we considering every person who entered the restroom a suspect?” Bethany said.
Macie quickly clarified, “Not necessarily. We are merely asking Ms. Wright about this because she was there
around the stas Minna.”
“I didn’t see anything,” said Belinda, maintaining a composed tone.
After a brief pause, Minna bit her lip and then asked, “Ms. Wright, could you please let us look inside your
handbag?”
