She'd always been a bystander in everything, no need to worry about the consequences. But now she got herself tangled up in a mess, and if she said the wrong thing, she'd be screwed.
Chloe looked at Wendy with a smirk.
Wendy's facial expression subtly changed, and finally, under the gaze of everyone, she had no choice but to speak up.
"I didn't really pay attention at first, 'cause I never thought Chloe would be a klepto... But you're right, Sierra took off her jewelry after you went to the bathroom... And I remember when you came out, Sierra was drying her dress, I was at the outer sink and you were washing your hands at the sink behind her... Yeah, that's all I remember."
As Wendy spoke, she was seriously trying to recall the situation. Though she didn't explicitly say Chloe stole Sierra's bracelet, her words sure made it seem more likely.
Her words pointed out that Chloe definitely knew the exact time when the bracelet went missing. And she happened to be near the spot where the bracelet was placed around that time.
Everyone, who had been keeping a low profile out of fear of Damon, started to act up again. Their gazes turned from doubt to clear disdain for Chloe.
After hearing that, Sierra got even more confident.
"Give me back my bracelet right now!"
Chloe looked at her coldly, "I told you I didn't take it."
"You..." Sierra was so pissed at Chloe's stubbornness and pointed at her, "Wendy's already spelled it out for you, you obviously stole my bracelet, just admit it!"
"Oh? So what Ms. Wendy was actually saying is that I stole the bracelet?" Chloe looked at Wendy sarcastically.
Wendy felt a lump in her chest and inwardly cursed Sierra for being such a dumbass!
Glancing at Elizabeth's icy gaze, she couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but Wendy still felt nervous.
Not to mention Damon... When she looked up at him, he wasn't looking at her. But she had clearly felt his icy gaze flashing past her.
"I... I was just telling the truth. I didn't say Chloe stole it though..."
Sierra glanced at Wendy, "Wendy, why are you still defending her? If you saw it, just say it. Even if you do not say it, she won't appreciate your kindness."
Wendy gritted her teeth. Sierra, you stupid idiot.
Chloe just stood there, smirking, her face full of sarcasm.
"So that's how it is. But the thing is, I really didn't take your bracelet. So does this mean that Ms. Wendy's 'seeing me steal the bracelet' was just a setup?"
"I heard that Ms. Wendy and the two gentlemen from the Harper family are close, especially Damon, but now Damon's fiancee is not her, she must be upset..."
"Everyone thought Ms. Wendy would be Damon's wife."
"Well, you never know, if this woman is kicked out, doesn't that give Ms. Wendy a chance?"
...
Feeling the suspicious gazes from people around her, Wendy was frowning deeply. After mulling it over for a while, she pulled Sierra to her side.
"Sierra, let's just drop this. It's just a bracelet, and we can buy another one."
Sierra's eyes widened, "How can I? There was only one of that bracelet when I bought it. I love it, how can I let her get it for free? No! I need to find that bracelet today!"
Chloe watched their conversation, pondering for a moment. Finally, her eyes sparkled and she put her hands slightly on both sides of her body.
