On the ground lay a number of things - clothes, a diamond necklace, a gold bracelet, even Cheyenne's pearl earrings. This mother and daughter were truly insatiable.
Malaya felt embarrassed, her face turning red as she trembled and dared not look her husband in the eye. Her gaze fell on Cheyenne's shoes, noticing the wounds on her feet, which surprised her.
Meanwhile, Nora tightened her grip on the strap of her bag. She couldn't let Cheyenne find any evidence against her; she absolutely couldn't!
Feeling the disdainful gazes of everyone, George felt like his dignity was stomped on the ground. It was truly embarrassing.
Tanner quickly recognized the items and pointed to the cherry blossom diamond necklace on the floor. "Isn't this Miss Lawrence's? I saw Miss Lawrence wearing it last week…"
Cheyenne, leaning against the door with her arms crossed, looked at the mother and daughter in front of her with a mocking smile. "Don't be silly, why would Malaya steal my things to give them back to me?"
"This kind of shameless act... Malaya is known in high society for being virtuous and elegant. How could she do something like this?"
Cheyenne didn't use foul language, but Malaya's face turned even redder with embarrassment.
With an awkward smile, Malaya said, "Cheyenne... don't misunderstand. I bought these things, they might have gotten mixed up with yours."
Cheyenne walked over with a smile, her bright eyes shining like stars, piercing into Malaya's soul, causing her to feel a panicked sense of being exposed. "Oh, I see. So, Malaya, how would you come to see me carrying so many jewelry and clothes? Could it be that you didn't come to see me at all?"
Layne understood everything and sneered, stroking his beard. He glanced at Nora, deep in thought. "It's true, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Cheyenne, check the surveillance footage and see if anyone entered your room."
"Sure, I can also test out the newly installed hidden camera. Since my foot's not in good condition, Tanner, would you like to go to the study and fetch my computer?"
What! There was surveillance in the house.
With this revelation, both Malaya and Nora truly panicked, too scared to look at Cheyenne. Sweat formed on their foreheads.
Having lived together for over a decade, George understood their reactions with just one glance. Not only did his wife take Cheyenne's belongings, but even his usually obedient daughter took something too.
If Cheyenne were to present the surveillance footage, there would be no room for turning things around.
George took the opportunity to snatch the bag from Nora's shoulder and opened it. Inside, he found a diamond tassel necklace.
"What is this?" he forcefully questioned.
Trembling, Nora answered in a small voice, "It's... it's a gift from a friend. This is mine, not Cheyenne's."
It was a Cartier diamond necklace with a snowflake cut and a pink tourmaline embedded in it. The irregular tassels cascaded from short to long.
It was part of the famous cherry blossom series, with only three pieces released worldwide. The necklace Cheyenne had was a gift from Benson three years ago, but she had never worn it because it was too precious. She clearly remembered keeping it in a wooden box.
"You claim that it's your necklace, then you should know that there is a matching cherry blossom pink crystal bracelet. Nora, since your friend gave this to you, why don't you show me the bracelet?" George sternly demanded.
