"The diamond necklace is missing!"
Everyone noticed the shop assistant because of her loud voice, and the store manager, Merrick Cardenal, ran over after hearing that.
"What? The necklace was placed on the counter. How could it go missing?"
"What's wrong? Which necklace is missing?"
Then, the shop assistant hurriedly pointed at Yolanda and said, "It was… It was the necklace that she wanted to try on just now…"
"How did you raise your kids, Mrs. Henderson? Even if she liked the necklace, she shouldn't have stolen it!"
In the meantime, Zora reacted swiftly and accused Yolanda of stealing the necklace.
All the shop assistants around them immediately looked at Yolanda.
Though there was no evidence to prove that Yolanda stole it, she was still a suspect.
They thought that Yolanda had stolen the necklace because Diana refused to buy it for her even though she liked it.
"She's doing something illegal at a young age. Do you know how to educate your child, Mrs. Henderson?"
"Well, that's expected. After all, she entered the juvenile detention center once. So, she's used to stealing things," Zora said.
After that, the shop assistant and manager looked very serious.
At the same time, Harvey looked in their direction curiously.
When Diana saw that, she panicked. "Yolanda, return the necklace right now!"
She was afraid that the incident would affect the Hendersons' reputation. Since she was angry and anxious, she almost slapped Yolanda instinctively.
However, Harvey suddenly spoke up. "You can't accuse someone without any evidence. There are surveillance cameras in the shop, so you can just check them."
Diana calmed down once she heard what Harvey said. Still, she continued to look at Yolanda repulsively.
At that moment, she wished that she'd strangled the latter to death during her birth.
After inhaling deeply, Diana calmly declared, "Admit your mistake now! You'll be able to amend your mistakes once you return the necklace. If the shop calls the police after checking the surveillance footage, I won't be able to help you!"
She tried her best to remain calm to show Harvey that she could act rationally, even when the issue involved her family members.
"I didn't steal the necklace, so I won't be afraid if they check the cameras," Yolanda replied indifferently.
Diana gritted her teeth. "Why are you so disobedient?"
Zora's smile deepened. "It seems that you aren't going to admit your mistakes until it's too late! You're the only one in the shop who would do this.
"Who else would be able to steal the necklace apart from you?"
Zora made the right choice to go shopping that day! Because of this incident, Harvey would have a bad impression of the Henderson family.
In the past, Yvonne had always been better than her daughter. However, this situation won't happen again in the future!
"Are you going to embarrass yourself here?" Diana didn't want the staff to check the surveillance cameras.
She was certain that Yolanda had stolen the necklace. If the latter returned the necklace, they would just be humiliated in the end.
But if the staff were to check the cameras, things would become troublesome!
School was starting soon, so she didn't want this incident to affect Yvonne's reputation on campus.
Besides, to protect her reputation in her social circle, Diana needed to send Yolanda to a good school.
She had initially planned to bribe a private school so that Yolanda would be able to enter it two days later.
Now, everything was ruined! Everything was utterly ruined!
Which institution would accept a young girl with a criminal record who kept stealing things?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. As such, Diana wanted to slap Yolanda.
However, Zora stopped her pretentiously. "Oh, Mrs. Henderson. Don't be too angry. You have to educate your child properly. Yolanda wasn't evil from birth.
"If you used your free time to teach your daughter how to be a good person instead of going out all day, she wouldn't turn out like this."
Diana pushed Zora away. "Don't interfere in this!"
Then, she warned Yolanda, "If you admit your mistakes now, I'll pretend this never happened. But, if you insist on behaving badly, I won't care about you anymore. The Henderson family wouldn't want a terrible daughter like you!"
