Chapter: 246
“One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Who knows what vile Intentions this lady is hiding behind her glamorous appearance?”
The men were generally doubtful of Tina’s accusation, whereas the ladies trusted her fully.
“Miss Hummer, there must be some sort of misunderstanding. I have not stolen anything.”
Dahlia took a moment to regain her composure before denying Tina’s accusation.
She had never thought that Tina would pin it on her.
“A quick search should easily be able to tell us whether or not you did it.” A faint smile graced Tina’s features.
“Miss Hummer, would it not be inappropriate to conduct a search on a guest whom you’ve invited to your birthday party in front of everyone?” Dahlia knew that she was innocent, but that did not mean that she should allow others to do as they please.
After all, Tina’s suggestion to go through her belongings was an obvious act of disrespect.
“What do you have to fear if you’re not guilty?” Tina smirked.
“That’s right! If you truly are innocent, what harm would a search do to you?”
“Hmph! I think that someone’s just feeling guilty!”
The ladies started to back Tina up.
Dahlia’s presence alone was enough to overshadow their radiance, so they were eager to see her get into trouble.
“Fine, since Miss Hummer insists on going through my things, then, by all means, go ahead.” Dahlia could not be bothered to argue with her, so she handed her bag over.
Her conscience was clear, and she did not want to cause a scene, so she might as well let them go through her bag to prove her innocence.
Tina did not say anything and simply gestured for her bodyguards to search Dahlia’s bag.
Soon, the bodyguards fished out a delicate jewelry box from the bag. The jewelry box even had Tina’s name carved on it.
“Miss Hummer, here it is!” The bodyguard handed the jewelry box over to her.
“Ladies and gentlemen, do you see this?”
Tina raised the jewelry box and took out the pair of magnificent ruby earrings in it, displaying them to the crowd.
“This! this is evidence!”
The moment the pair of ruby earrings were produced, it brought about a whoosh of uproar throughout the entire hall.
Eyes widened as shock came over everyone’s faces.
“No way! Would the president of Quine Group do such a thing?”
“Hah! And I thought that she would be above that! Who would’ve guessed that she was so materialistic!”
