Elaine caressed her fair neck with a sorrowful look on her face.

It was common knowledge that her agate necklace was auctioned off at 2 million dollars by Timothy last month The banquet hall was then filled with sighs of distress from the thought that a thief had infiltrated this place of nobility.

Immediately, guards took their positions in front of the exits to the banquet hall.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel a shiver running down her spine. She raised her head and looked toward the center of the banquet, only to see Elaine staring back at her with a smirk.

'Oh no!' Charlotte was quick to realize that something was not right, but she no longer had a chance to flee.

Soon, a burly security guard stood in front of her and looked down at her.

"Miss, hello. Do you have an invitation?" No one else was asked the squestion. Only she was interrogated. Elaine's intention couldn't be clearer. Thus, everyone started to look at Charlotte suspiciously.

At that moment, there was nothing else Charlotte could do, so she kept a smile on her face and opened her bag calmly.

"Found it!" Before Charlotte could completely open her bag, the guards around her snatched the bag from her grasp aggressively and pulled out Elaine's necklace.

Elaine barged her way through the crowd of people hurriedly and got the necklace back in her possession. The expression on her face was a mixture of disappointment and relief, the exact portrayal of a victim of the situation.

"Miss, you don't dress nor look like a poor person, so why did you steal the necklace?" Elaine said while looking at Charlotte with teary eyes.

Elaine looked at her with unfamiliarity, as though she has never met Charlotte before.

Every guest present was deceived by Elaine's skillful acting. However, Charlotte was well aware of what truly happened.

Only Elain would be able to pull off such a despicable, self-directed act to frCharlotte.

The servant from earlier who was apologizing profusely had now disappeared from the scene.

Charlotte sneered. It seemed that today was not her day and she was bound to be humiliated by Elaine.

"If you don't say anything, I'll call the police." Elaine pretended to give Charlotte a chance. However, she had already secretly instructed her butler to call the police.

Now that Charlotte was labeled a thief in front of influential families of River City, it would be difficult for her to turn over a new leaf if she wanted to in the future.

'Charlotte, you're still too tender to be playing tricks with me.' "Hold on." Just as Elaine was ecstatic from her incoming victory, a cold voice interrupted her.

"It's Shane!" When the slender figure appeared in the banquet hall, everyone broke into commotion. Shane Fuller was not just anyone. To be able to meet him on such an occasion made people feel like they struck gold. The aura emanating from him was noble and indifferent, the image he portrayed was pretty much too intimidating for people to approach him.

He walked towards Charlotte with no obstructions as if he was a king.

The muscular security guard that was before Charlotte also becnothing but a speck of dust with Shane's appearance.

Shane looked around as if he didn't care about anyone else. In the end, his cold gaze fell upon Charlotte. "Did you steal it?" he asked in a calm tone.

"Huh?" Charlotte immediately recognized the man as the higher-up that had approved her job En application. 'Could he have recognized me?' she thought.

'What would he do to me? Fire me? Banfrom the industry?' For a moment, Charlotte's mind was in a state of chaos.

"I'm asking you a question." Shane frowned slightly. He had never m encountered someone bold enough Enr to zone out in front of him. Worse still, she did that in such a tense situation.

'This woman must have sh*t for brains,' he thought.
