When Keke said that, Ji Yuqiao immediately understood what she meant, her eyes widening slightly, “You suspect that I stole your necklace?”

“I didn’t say that, but you were the only one who touched my bag…” Keke glanced at her, her expression hesitant.

“I didn’t take your things,” Ji Yuqiao countered sharply.

Keke’s eyes suddenly reddened, she looked at her and then lowered her head to sob silently, making it look like Ji Yuqiao was bullying her.

“If you don’t believe me, we can check the surveillance,” Ji Yuqiao said, and led her to find the club’s manager.

However, after listening, the manager spoke with difficulty, “To protect the privacy of our guests, we have not installed surveillance near the restroom.”

Having no other choice, Ji Yuqiao could only ask the manager to get some staff members to help look for it, thinking it might have been dropped somewhere.

The manager nodded and immediately asked Keke for details about the missing necklace.

However, no matter how he asked, Keke stuck to her story—”I put the necklace in my bag before I went into the restroom and then handed it to her. When I came out, the necklace was gone.”

She even implied that Ji Yuqiao stole the necklace.

The manager seemed to believe her words, his gaze towards Ji Yuqiao carrying a hint of gravity, “If you really took it, please hand it over. Otherwise, if we call the police, it won’t be good for you.”

“I’ve told you I didn’t take it, and I didn’t!” Ji Yuqiao burst out angrily, “Besides, the necklace is a counterfeit; why would I steal it?”

A counterfeit?

The manager turned his head back towards Keke.

Keke once again showed him a photo of the receipt, her voice choked, “This necklace was bought by my boyfriend for sixty to seventy million, how could it be fake?”

A necklace that expensive?!

The manager’s expression grew even more serious, “Miss, don’t worry, we will definitely help you find it!”

He looked towards Ji Yuqiao, “Miss, if you don’t hand it over now, we will have to call the police.”

“I’ve already said it wasn’t me who stole it, go ahead and call the police, if it turns out I didn’t steal it, all of you owe me an apology!” Ji Yuqiao pointed at them, her face showing indignation.

The quarrel grew louder, attracting the attention of those nearby.

Before long, even Keke’s boyfriend and others from the private room had come over.

“What happened?” the man asked.

“Dear, the necklace you gave me is missing.” Keke’s tears rolled down her face, looking pitiful as she clung to the man, “The necklace was in my bag, and only Ji Yuqiao touched my bag…”

“But I don’t blame her, after all, her family is poor, she even had to sell bags part-time to make ends meet, it’s normal for her to be tempted. If she just returns the necklace, let’s forget about it,” Keke sobbed.

Being poor, so she steals.

With that statement, everyone was even more convinced.

The man furrowed his brows.

The classmates who came along were shocked upon hearing Keke’s words, their faces full of disbelief.

From their subtle glances, Ji Yuqiao realized they didn’t believe her at all.

“I didn’t, my family has money, I certainly don’t covet any fake necklace,” Ji Yuqiao’s voice and rising chest revealed a mix of agitation and impatience as she was about to take out her phone to call Ji Tingyang, when Xiao Yu’s figure appeared again.

He came out of the private room, casting a glance their way.

Ji Yuqiao called out to him urgently, “Xiao Yu!”

Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks.

Ji Yuqiao walked out from the crowd, running to Xiao Yu’s side and gripping his arm, looking anxious, “They keep saying I stole something, can you help prove it? My brother is so rich, why would I ever steal their things?”

Keke saw Ji Yuqiao and Xiao Yu talking, and silently scoffed.

It was well known around the school that Ji Yuqiao followed Xiao Yu around all day.

Xiao Yu was utterly annoyed by her, so how could he possibly speak up for her?

Xiao Yu slightly lifted his eyes and looked at Ji Yuqiao, “I can help you, but you have to answer the question I asked you last time. If you answer it now, I’ll help you.”

The question from last time?

Between him and Ji Tingyang, whom did she choose?

Ji Yuqiao’s body suddenly stiffened. She opened her mouth, but her throat failed to produce a sound for a long moment.

Xiao Yu shook off her arm, “Sorry, I don’t know her.”

Watching his heartless departure, Ji Yuqiao felt like she had plunged into icy water, a bone-chilling cold spreading throughout her body.

No one knew who laughed first, but soon a cascade of sneering laughter erupted from the crowd.

Ji Yuqiao’s face turned deathly pale as she took out her phone to call Ji Tingyang again.

However, for some reason, after calling three or four times, no one answered.

The mocking laughter grew louder in her ears, her ears buzzed as if she couldn’t hear anything, her palms trembling as she fumbled for Lin Xu’s number.

Just then,

The doors of the clubhouse were pushed open.

About a dozen men in tailcoats surged in from outside and lined up in front of Ji Yuqiao.

One of them, holding a box, kneeled on one knee in front of her.

The box slowly opened, revealing the unique star gem necklace.

“Miss Ji, the necklace has been purchased for you. Would you like me to put it on for you now?” the foremost man asked with utter respect.

This extravagant gesture instantly stunned everyone.

Even Ji Yuqiao was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

She didn’t recognize any of these people.

Keke’s pupils trembled slightly, it took her a moment to regain her voice, “What… what did you call her?”

“Of course, Miss Ji. Are you deaf? Do you need us to repeat it for you?” Lin Xu arrived late, standing next to Ji Yuqiao, smiling slightly at Keke.

That smile carried a hint of coldness.

“Miss Ji Yuqiao is indeed our Ji Group’s beloved daughter, adored by everyone in the Ji Family. Just yesterday, she took a liking to this star gem necklace, and President Ji didn’t hesitate to buy it for her.”

“This necklace is truly unique in the world, perfectly suiting Miss Ji.”

“This necklace is so precious, lately I heard that many people have been deceiving others with fake star gem necklaces, so you all should be careful,” Lin Xu said with a light smile on her lips.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she covered her mouth in surprise, “Oh, right, I just heard you also lost a necklace. What kind of necklace was it?”

Not only Keke, but even her boyfriend’s face suddenly turned stiff.

The necklace Lin Xu brought over sparkled with a unique brilliance under the light, completely different from the low-quality one Keke had received.@@novelbin@@

People only had to glance at it from a distance to immediately tell the difference between the two.

“You actually tried to deceive me with a fake?!” Keke glared at her boyfriend.
