Chapter 304:
“No problem,” Belinda said, handing her handbag to the female officer.
The female officer opened the bag. It was a small bag with no compartments, and the contents of the bag were
quite visible to everyone present now.
Everyone could see there was no necklace in it. Minna’s smile vanished from her face in an instant. This was
impossible!
Macie’s eyes also widened in shock. This didn’t make any sense. She had personally put the necklace in
Belinda’s bag. How could it not be there?
At that moment, Belinda said, “Officer, could you please accompanyto the restroom for a body search?”

Then, she and Belinda went to the restroom.
Five minutes later, they returned.
“Ms. Wright doesn’t have the necklace on her,” the female officer said to her colleague.
Minna and Macie were taken aback by this. This was unbelievable! How could the necklace have just vanished
into thin air?
Just then, the male officer turned to Minna and said, “We have thoroughly searched Ms. Wright and her bag but
have found no necklace. Could it have gone missing before you went to the restroom?”
“That's not possible. | put the necklace in my bag before going to the restroom!” Minna said.

The male officer looked around and noticed several surveillance cameras.
“I see you have cameras here. We could check the surveillance footage,” the male officer suggested.
Minna hesitated for a moment before saying, “Well... that’s not possible. The cameras are usually on, but with so
many distinguished guests today, we had to turn them off to protect their privacy.”
The male officer frowned, clearly at a loss as to what to do now.
“Something just occurred to me, officer,” Belinda suddenly said.
The male officer turned to her with a curious gaze.

Belinda smiled and continued, “It wasn’t just Ms. Williamson and | who went to the restroom at that time, right?”
The guests soon caught on to what she was hinting at, and murmurs spread throughout the room.
“That's right! Macie also went into the restroom with Minna.”
“If Belinda is a suspect, doesn’t that make Macie one too?”
Minna’s face darkened instantly, and she said, “That's impossible! Macie and | were together the whole time.
She couldn't have taken my necklace.”
“Oh really? Were you both in the sstall in the restroom as well?” Belinda asked, chuckling.
Minna opened her mouth but quickly shut it as she had nothing to say.
“Ms. Wright has a point. Since | went to the restroom at that time, I’m also a suspect. | have no objection to
being searched by the female officer,” Macie said calmly.
