Emma did not speak, still smiling with poise.
Chloe Woods kept talking incessantly, "Emma, you really can’t be so kind; otherwise, any insignificant person can easily walk all over you. With her around Young Master Lewis, when will your two families ever arrange a marriage? You shouldn’t dirty your hands; let handle it."
Emma was about to stop sothing.
Aria Richardson walked out from inside, and Emma stopped talking.
Seeing her co out, Chloe glanced at the jewelry laid out on the counter and shifted a few steps to the right, occupying the spot where Aria wanted to wash her hands.
Aria frowned, deciding not to argue, and naturally walked to the side to wash her hands, taking a tissue to wipe her fingers.
Chloe took this opportunity to step forward and approach her, "Miss Richardson, I spoke out of line a mont ago. Emma has already reprimanded , don’t take it to heart."
Facing the suddenly changed Chloe Woods, Aria felt uneasy about her intentions and stepped back indifferently, "It’s fine."
Having said that, Aria turned around and left the restroom.
A trace of a triumphant smile flitted through Chloe’s eyes.
Emma noticed Chloe’s little maneuver but did not stop her.
"Emma, just wait and see; I’ll definitely help you release this anger and make Young Master Lewis despise and abandon her."
After speaking, Chloe dragged the understanding Emma out of the restroom.
Aria didn’t plan to return to the banquet hall; she was preparing to leave. Chloe’s sudden change in the restroom made her feel sothing was amiss.
She reached her hand into her purse, intending to take out her phone to call Wyatt Lewis.
At this mont, an exceptionally angry voice sounded from behind her, "Aria Richardson, stop right there."
Aria frowned, feeling a bit annoyed with the persistent Chloe.
"Where are you going?"
Aria answered calmly, "Going ho."
Chloe quickly stepped up and grabbed her arm, "You stole my bracelet, and now you’re trying to run, right?"
Aria’s indifferent expression imdiately turned cold. She raised her hand and forcefully shook off Chloe’s grip, "Miss Woods, have you gone mad, making wild accusations?"
"You just stole my bracelet, yet you refuse to admit it."
The two of them beca the center of attention at that mont.
In such a setting, the word "steal" caused an imdiate uproar among the high society ladies present.
If confird, her reputation would be utterly ruined.
Emma frowned, grabbing the irate Chloe, and said hurriedly, "Chloe, what bracelet? Did you make a mistake?"
"It’s the one you gave before, the matching set we each have. Because you gave it to , I’ve always cherished it and rarely take it out to wear. I only wore it today because you were here. I didn’t expect that after taking it off to wash my hands and putting it to the side, this woman would swipe it."
Chloe was so upset her eyes turned red, and her anxious appearance convinced everyone she wasn’t lying.
"Is it this one?" Emma raised her hand, showing a beautiful sapphire bracelet on her wrist.
"Yes, that’s the one. Mine was stolen by her, Emma..." Chloe was on the verge of tears.
Emma comforted Chloe, "Don’t worry yet, are you sure you brought it out today?"
"Yes, I’m sure. I took it off just now to avoid getting it wet and put it on the sink. In a blink, it was gone, and there were only three of us in the restroom. If she didn’t take it, who else could?"
Chloe loudly accused Aria.
Emma also looked at Aria with a troubled expression and said, "There were only three of us in the restroom just now, and I did see Chloe take her jewelry off and put it on the sink. Miss Richardson, did you see it?"
With a few concise sentences, the situation was described factually, directly validating Chloe’s words and pointing all suspicion towards Aria.
Aria frowned, her eyes shifting slightly. Earlier, she had indeed seen Chloe removing her jewelry. As for the bracelet, she squinted her eyes...
At this mont, her phone in the purse started ringing. Aria was about to take out the phone when she suddenly felt sothing unfamiliar inside the purse.
Aria frowned. It was a bracelet.
She instantly understood what was happening, subtly loosened her grip on the bracelet, took out her phone, and answered the call.
It was Wyatt Lewis calling, "Are you leaving?"
"I was about to leave, but sothing’s co up, so I need to wait a bit."
"What happened?"
Aria, "Probably a small matter."
"Are you talking to Young Master Lewis?" Chloe suddenly interjected, stepping forward to snatch Aria’s phone, "Young Master Lewis, we have a problem here. Your girlfriend stole my bracelet."
