Chapter 956
Grace gritted her teeth tightly, didn’t say a word, but just hummed coldly.

“Of course I trust my own daughter. But we can’t just let this matter slide!”
After saying that, she glared fiercely at the police officers nearby.
The female police officer, however, kept her lips tightly sealed and approached without showing any emotion. Her
gaze had been fixed on Wendy’s tightly held handbag, and she immediately took it from her.
Wendy refused to let go, but in the end, the handbag was taken away by the female officer.
People couldn’t help but crowd around, craning their necks to watch as the officer opened Wendy’s fancy, high–end
bag, and took out the contents one by one makeup, lipstick, mini perfume, cell phone, and… a bracelet!
“Ah!”
“What the hell?”
“Oh my god, what’s going on?”
“Why does Ms. Wendy also have an identical bracelet?!”
Yes! A bracelet identical to Sierra’s. Identical to the one on Chloe’s wrist!

Chloe just stood quietly to the side, giving a sidelong glance at the bracelet that had been searched out, and smiled
faintly without any surprise. Just as expected…hmm.
The confident look on Grace’s face just a moment ago suddenly turned sour.
What the hell?!
Sierra ran over to Wendy, snatching the bracelet from the female officer.
After a closer look, she was even more incredulous.
“What… what in the world is going on? You…”
Wendy stood still, her gaze fixed on the bracelet in Sierra’s hand, showing no emotions on her face.
She clenched her palm tightly, and after a while, she said calmly,
“That’s my bracelet.”

People were at a loss for words to express their surprise.
Sierra seemed even more confused, holding her head in her hands, completely baffled.
“This is your bracelet, and that is her bracelet! Then where is mine?!”
The person who seemed most innocent and confused was probably Sierra. She was the original victim, and she just
wanted to find her favorite bracelet, but in the end, there were several bracelets, but…
Where was hers?
“Oh my god! What’s going on? Why don’t I get it? My head… my brain is still here, why can’t I understand this?”
Nathan touched his own head, making sure it was still there, but couldn’t help but grumble.
The people around them all chimed in,
“…Did Ms. Wendy steal it?”
“She seemed really scared of being searched just now. She must be guilty!”
Upon hearing someone suspect her daughter, Grace pointed at Chloe and said angrily, “Just because it’s found in
Wendy’s bag, that makes her a thief? Wendy said it’s hers! She was searched just now, but she wasn’t found guilty
right away, was she?!”
At this point, Wendy, who was still standing in place, continued,
“I bought this at The Queen last night. If you don’t believe me, you can check my purchase records at the store.
One look and you’ll know.”
Her expression was much more confident than her previous shock, and she seemed so innocent that no one could
doubt her.
At this moment, Chloe, who had been playing with the bracelet in her hand, suddenly spoke calmly.
. “Laura.”
Without lifting her head, she said, “Come here.”
People looked at her, puzzled, not knowing who she was talking to, or what she was saying.
However, not long after, a clearly nervous girl squeezed out of the crowd.
“Is it you? Great!” Laura was so nervous that she couldn’t even say “Hello Ms. Summers“, and was pulled aside by
Wendy.
“Ms. Wendy…” Laura whispered.
Wendy gripped Laura’s arm tightly, asking urgently,
“You’re the sales associate at ‘The Queen‘ right? I remember you were the one who served me when I bought the
bracelet last night, right?”
Laura looked at Chloe, not sure what to do, but Chloe didn’t give her any hints. Chloe had said before that if she
needed her, she should just tell the truth, without worrying about anything. Judging from Chloe’s expression, she
should still tell the truth. So she nodded and said, “Yes, Ms. Wendy did indeed buy that bracelet at our store last
night.”
As soon as Laura’s words were out, Wendy and Grace both visibly relaxed.
At this point, Sierra questioned sternly, “Then I ask you, how many of these bracelets does your store have?”
“Just two. Each “The Queen‘ area has different product styles, it’s just that the after–sales service is universal. To be
precise, this bracelet, there are only these two in the entire ‘The Queen‘ brand.”
By now, people around them basically understood. Ms. Wendy’s bracelet was indeed her own purchase. The look in
their eyes when they looked at Chloe was full of
contempt.
Sierra sneered heavily, crossed her arms, and looked at Chloe with contempt, saying coldly,
“Do you have anything else to say?! There are only two of these bracelets, one was taken by Ms. Wendy, and the
other one was bought by me, so where did the bracelet in your hand come from?!”
Chloe just calmly replied, “I’ve been saying from the beginning, it’s from Ms. Wendy”
!
“You… you only know how to say this, don’t you have any other excuses?!”
Chloe shook her head, looked up, and her indifferent gaze swept over everyone’s faces, finally landing on Wendy’s
face.
Wendy’s eyes were full of provocation and triumph.
Chloe stared at her for a moment, a clear smile suddenly appearing on her face.
“Ms. Wendy, you’ve already given me your bracelet, why do you still have one?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWendy’s heart rate suddenly quickened, filled with unease.
“L…”
But Chloe’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and she called out in a low voice, “Laura!”
“Yes!” Laura was startled by being called out, closed her eyes in fright, but still responded.
“Get the sales records of these two bracelets and let Wendy and Sierra see if it’s their signatures!”
“Okay.” Laura quickly pulled out the sales records.
Sierra took a glance, “This is my signature, and this one’s Wendy’s, I recognize her handwriting.”
Chloe sneered, “Alright then. Laura, hand over the sales records and the flashlight to the officer.”
“Sure.” Laura did as she was told.
No one understood Chloe’s motives behind these actions, not even the police officers.
Then Chloe continued, “Nowadays, all famous brands have anti–counterfeiting marks and serial numbers, and ‘The
Queen‘ jewelry is no exception. Officers, please check the anti–counterfeiting marks and serial numbers on these
two bracelets, then compare them to the ones on the sales records. Each anti–counterfeiting code and serial
number is unique. This will help us identify the real owners of these two bracelets.”
Upon hearing Chloe’s explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
“Oh, I see now, so each serial number corresponds to a person. Even though the products might be the same, the
serial number is unique, so you has a one–of–a–kind item.”
could say that each person
Meanwhile, all color drained from Wendy’s face.
The officer picked up the bracelet on Sierra’s wrist and examined its inside with the flashlight.
“There really are anti–counterfeiting marks and serial numbers!”
Wendy’s legs started to wobble.
“This anti–counterfeiting code and serial number belong to the bracelet under Sierra’s signature!”
“What? But this bracelet was taken from Wendy’s bag!”
“Does that mean the bracelet in Chloe’s hand is Wendy’s?”
“Yes, then why was Sierra’s bracelet in Wendy’s bag?”
“This… this…”
Before people could even process what was going on, all eyes were on Wendy.
She took a step back.
