Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Hesitation Jean looked away from them and heard someone calling her name. "You should rest a couple more days." It was Zoe's first tshowing concern to Jean.
There was still a medical gauze on Jean's neck. She got up calmly and smiled. "I'm alright." Yes, I'm alright.
I am still alive. Furthermore, I have seen how despicable these people can be. That is more the reason not to hide. Since Edgar loves Gigi, I will let them fully experience their love.
Zoe looked into Jean's eyes and frowned. They seemed desolate and empty except for a deep hatred that would destroy everything on its path. However, Jean's gaze returned to normal in the next second.
It made Zoe doubt what she saw just now and wonder if she was mistaken. Then, Jean smiled at Zoe. "The jewelry has been delivered, and I have checked it. Would you like to look at it yourself?" Contents belong to Today's jewelry was one of MON & Co.'s limited edition collections called 'Heart of the Emperor'. It was highly expensive and only one was ever made. "Sure, I'll take a look." Jean watched Zoe head to the lounge. Heart of the Emperor was inside a safe that the staff moved in just now. Jean smirked as she thought about it.
The photo shoot began fifteen minutes later. During this time, only the model involved could enter the lounge at the back. At this moment, Tyra Moss, the lead model, had not arrived yet, so Gigi was the only model around.
Director Lewis chatted with Gigi in private and returned in a good mood. Then, Tyra arrived. She had already changed her clothes in her MPV and did not go to the lounge. One could not help but admire her beauty as she walked into the studio.
Director Lewis leaned into his chair and said, "Bring out the necklace. Let's begin.” The staff immediately went to carry out his order, but they soon returned with anxious expressions. "Director Lewis, the necklace is gone." "Gone?" Director Lewis widened his eyes in shock. "No way!" A necklace that cost nearly one hundred million is missing? "Go find it! Everyone, look for it now!" The bodyguards who guarded the lounge said, "No one entered except Gigi. The Heart of the Emperor is indeed missing." They are bodyguards working for MON & Co., so their words were credible.
Sky rushed to the stuupon receiving the news and found Zoe and Jean standing at the side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What's going on?" Sky turned to Zoe. "Have you confirmed the necklace before it went missing?" Zoe nodded. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilton." She had seen the necklace when she checked it just now.
Furthermore, she was unable to explain what went wrong. In her confusion, she suddenly recalled Jean's gaze at the tand turned to look at her. However, Jean now looked indifferent as usual.
Jean sensed Zoe's probing gaze. She met Zoe's gaze and smiled. "What's wrong?" Sky noticed Zoe looking at Jean and scolded, "Jean, did you check the necklace?" Jean looked up at him.
So, he finally shows his true colors.
Now that the necklace is missing, he is looking for someone to place the blon.
Unfortunately for him, my plan is flawless.
Jean answered frankly, "I've checked before Zoe went in to check.” Sky frowned even more deeply. Is it not what I thought? That makes sense. They are too many people and witnesses. Even if Jean panned to frGigi, she wouldn't use such a stupid method. A simple investigation would have exposed her.
Jean blinked and said, “The surveillance camera should have caught the thief." Sky stopped suspecting her and ordered, "Check the surveillance footage." Everyone looked at the surveillance footage. It showed Jean went in first, followed by Zoe. There was nothing suspicious up to that point.
However, Gigi was the last to enter the lounge, and she cout holding something.
Everyone looked at Gigi accusingly and prompted her to panic.
"No, it wasn't me! I didn't do anything." She gulped and tugged Linda's arm. "Helpto explain now." Linda shook her head. "Gigi, if you took it..." "Shut up! I didn't!" However, she could not stop panicking under the crowd's collective gaze. Her heart was thumping rapidly.
"I... I did wear it for a while, but I have put it back!" Jean stood at the back and looked down in thoughts. No one paid attention to her.
I understand Gigi too well. She is greedy and stupid.
She heard the value of the Heart of the Emperor when I discussed it with the staff. She was getting her makeup done at the time.
I have been waiting for this opportunity.
Gigi's words prompted everyone to stare at her. "It must be you who lost it. Perhaps you damaged it and are too scared to say anything." "You should bring out the necklace now, and we shall see what to do." Zoe went to Gigi. “Ms. Reece, you should know that necklace cost an astronomical sum. Even if you broke it, we will do our best to fix it. So don't make the matter worst." Gigi kept shaking her head. "I didn't take it. I have put it back properly." Her voice kept turning softer.
She could sense someone kept staring at her. Thus, she turned and instantly saw Jean's cold eyes.
In that instant, Gigi widened her eyes.
She pointed to Jean and shouted, "It's her. She must have framed me.” Jean frowned and replied, "But you are the last person to cout of the lounge." Her words were self-evident Therefore, it was pointless for Gigi to argue. Even Director Lewis could not defend Gigi. “Gigi, can you not delay our work progress?" "I..." Gigi broke into tears. "Linda, what should I do?" She was truly afraid.
Someone in the crowd said, "Since we can't find the necklace, we have no choice but to call the police."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No!" Gigi tugged Linda hard and said through gritted teeth. "Don't call the police. I'm doomed my father finds out. Please call Edgar for me. Ask Km him to cto save me." Save? Jean's smile widened.
Today's effort is not for naught. There's going to be a good show.
Sky instructed, "Everyone split into groups of three and search the studio. If we still can't find it in an hour, call the police." His instruction was to avoid making things worst if it was a staff who stole the necklace. It would give the thief a chance to return it.
However, he glanced at Jean as he spoke.
Still, Jean remained calm and behaved as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Ten minutes later, Edgar's car stopped outside the studio.
He walked in intimidatingly.
Gigi had a blanket over her shoulder as she rushed to him. "Edgar, youn Ididn't must help necklace me; take the necklace. I only put it on for a while, but I didn't steal it." I am now Edgar's wife. Why would I covet a necklace? Unfortunately, her denial was useless. After all, the necklace disappeared after she touched it.
Gigi kept feeling Jean had something to do with this matter.
"Edgar, can you tell them to search Jean? It must be her who took it and deliberately framed me. If you can find the necklace on her, I will be cleared of suspicion." Edgar grabbed her hand. "Cwith me." He dragged Gigi with her, but his eyes were focused in another direction and seemed a little doubtful.
