"The pink diamond is gone!" Kimberly shouted suddenly.
Her voice rang throughout the classroom.
Everyone's attention was instantly on her.
Natalie raised her gaze. Everything was as she thought. The next thing to do was to blame it on her.
"Kimberly, don't worry. Look for it for a while. Perhaps you would find it," someone persuaded Kimberly.
Kimberly hurriedly went to find her pink diamond. She rummaged through the drawer but still could not find it.
"What should I do? How could it disappear?" Kimberly's tone was almost as if she was crying.
"Could it be that someone stole it?" Someone suddenly said loudly.
Kimberly immediately shook her head. "We are all rich. Why would we steal the pink diamond and ruin our reputation? There was no way."
Someone said coldly, "That's not necessarily true. Not everyone at Agaphen University is rich. We have some who are poor here."
"That's right. I saw everyone walking out for lunch earlier. Natalie was the only one in the classroom. Could it be her?"
All these conversations seemed to have been coerced.
Kimberly immediately rushed to Natalie and said, "Natalie, did you steal the pink diamond? Answer me!"
She was asking as if Natalie really stole her pink diamond.
Natalie glanced at Kimberly and said, "Miss Kimberly, are you done acting? If you are done with your little act, it's time to quit it before you actually become a drama queen."
Kimberly's face turned red.
"Natalie, it was you who stole my pink diamond. Give it to me now!"
The next was a burst of echoed voices.
"Yes, it was Natalie who stole Kimberly's pink diamond."
"She is so poor. She must have been eyeing Kimberly's pink diamond."
"Haha, that's what the poor do best. They would do anything for money!"
Sebastian was the first to stand up, "Don't you dare to slander Natalie! Natalie is not someone like that!"
Yvonne was also angry and said, "What is the meaning of this? Natalie is not interested in some pink diamond! Natalie does not fancy this pink diamond at all!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Natalie frowned. She pulled Yvonne and Sebastian behind her and said, "Stop talking. Let me handle it. I don't need you to help me handle this group of condescending sons of b*tches!"
After saying that, Natalie looked at Kimberly coldly and the people who laughed at her. She said with disdain in the corner of her eyes, "Are you done laughing? What did the poor do to offend all of you that much? Just because I am poor doesn't mean I will steal the pink diamond, alright? Which eye was it that saw me stealing it? Was it the left or the right?"
Kimberly glared at Natalie, "We were all out for lunch. You're the only one who was in the classroom. If it was not you, then who?"
Natalie looked at Kimberly without an ounce of fear, "Miss Campbell, don't you know that many people were unjustly killed?"
Kimberly was stunned.
The sneer on Natalie's lips grew bigger, "As a college student, you don't even know that fabricating stories against someone is a crime! Do you need to go back to junior high school to educate yourself?"
Kimberly's face turned red.
She became a mucker and said, "It doesn't matter. You were the one who stole it. There is no one else except you!"
