Jacinta was rummaging through her drawers in a panic, but the look in her eyes was calm.
Megan noticed the contrast, and she immediately deduced that things would not be as simple as they seemed.
Donna rushed to Jacinta's side and urgently asked, “Jacinta, what are you looking for?”
“My necklace! My favorite necklace is gone! It's worth three million. Even if you sell everything you own, you'll never be able to compensate me for it. Hurry and look for it!”
By then, Jonas arrived as well, having been attracted by the commotion. When Jacinta saw him, she lunged into his arms and started wailing, “What do I do, Jonas? My necklace is missing! That's my favorite item!”
Jonas patted her back and consoled, “It's okay, it's okay. Just look around for it. I'm sure it's not lost.”
However, no one could find anything even after a thorough search. Thus, it had become a fact that Jacinta's necklace was truly lost.
In Jonas' arms, Jacinta sobbed. Megan watched her from the side quietly, knowing that it was all but a show by Jacinta. It was an excuse for her to come into close contact with Jonas.
Right then, a thought entered Donna's mind.
After a long while of hesitation, she mumbled, “I think Megan was the one to tidy up the jewelry box.”
Despite her reluctance to voice it out loud, Donna had still done so.
Everyone then turned to look at Megan suspiciously. She's a country bumpkin. She must not have seen pretty jewelry That must be why she stole it.
Right then, Megan finally realized why Jacinta had gone through some trouble to set up the show. However, she calmly took out her bag and showed the crowd. “It's true that I tidied up the jewelry box, but I didn't take anything.”
