Chapter: 958

A thief?

The second floor area was restricted, and Susan had hidden herself in the bathroom. Thus, not many people saw what happened on the second floor at the time. The girl who first found Susan had been taken to another room, and Becky had already comforted her. At this moment, none of them knew what exactly was going on.

"Are you kidding? The security of Waterfront Hotel is tight and it's well-known in all of Apliaria. There's not a thief in existence who can come in here without being noticed!" someone remarked.

"Sorry, sir, but I really can't explain how the thief slipped in.

Like you, I also want to know about that. But no matter how tight the security is, there will always be a weakness. In line with that fact, it's impossible for thieves to figure out the security's weakness and come in. No matter what anyone may think, the fact remains that Susan's favorite necklace had been stolen by this thief."

“What necklace?"

"Blue Lovers." Becky said, her face expressionless.

Upon hearing the necklace's name, someone exclaimed, "Blue Lovers?

The one that's worth a hundred million dollars?"

Becky nodded.

"Yes, and the thief is still at large, so we have no choice but to keep you all here for the time being. Of course, I hope that you all can keep a closer look at your belongings, just in case the thief strikes again.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was no longer interested in asking questions. They now shifted their focus to guarding their valuables.

The crowd's attention had finally been diverted away from Susan.

Becky breathed a sigh of relief. But then, someone said, "Hold on.

You said that the thief hasn't been found yet, but what about the man who was taken away by the ambulance earlier? If that man isn't the thief, who else could it be? Oh, my God, is the thief among us?"

Suddenly, everyone felt restless.

"Who do you think the thief could be?"

"It could be you."

“No, it's you! You're the thief. How dare you slander me in front of all these people? It's just a stupid necklace. I don't care about that! Believe it or not, I will sue you for slander and defamation!”

"Fine, if you didn't steal the necklace, let someone frisk you so you can prove your innocence! It's just a necklace, huh? Blue Lovers is the only one of its kind in the world. Who knows who could've stolen it? That person must've hidden it, and they are probably going to sell it later! After all, some of us here are in need of money!"

Becky was silenced once more, watching the crowd get thrown into disarray.

Everyone was mow suspecting each other, and the situation was spiraling out of control.

She didn't expect that things would turn out this way. Seeing that several people were about to fight, she quickly motioned for the assistant to stop them. She wanted to say something to put the situation in control, but then, she was cut off.

“Mom, I'm here!" Just then, Ameer came in.

Megan got up from the sofa, walking towards him. Then, she asked the security to let him in.
