THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1017

As she spoke, Yvette shot a pointed glance in the direction of Caitlin and Elsa, who had just walked in.

Elsa frowned. "Stop with the veiled accusations. There are only six people in this room. Who would steal her things? We wouldn't look twice at it, even if it was worth two million, let alone two hundred thousand."

"I didn't name anyone. Why get so defensive? Sounds like a guilty conscience to me," Yvette shot back.

Elsa was about to retort, but Caitlin tugged on her arm, whispering, "Elsa, don't fall into their trap."

Hearing this, Elsa managed to swallow her anger.

Charis continued her performance. "Yvette, let's not argue. Just help me find the necklace! It's worth two hundred thousand!"

In criminal cases, a theft of three thousand was enough to open an investigation. Two hundred thousand… that was enough to land Caitlin in serious trouble.

"Of course, Miss Gonzales."

Nicolette added, "But we've searched all three of our beds and even under them. There's nothing! Where could the necklace have gone? Miss Gonzales, are you sure you even brought it to the university?"

"I'm sure I did."

Yvette's eyes narrowed. "We may have searched our three beds, but there are other beds we haven't checked yet, right?"
