Leonardo tightly held Cornelia's hand, "Cornelia, let's get out of here. We don't have to deal with these people."
Cornelia remained silent, just quietly observing everyone else's performance.
When a strange woman, backed by a crowd, blocked their way and accused her of theft, Cornelia had already realized that this so-called "necklace lost incident" might be a trap set up by Clair.
If her guess was correct, then the necklace that Clair lost would definitely show up somewhere associated with her.
She was wearing a dress, without pockets, so the necklace couldn't possibly be on her.
So the only possible place for Clair's lost necklace would be the handbag she carried.
The handbag had always been by her side, barely out of her sight.
But wait... this bag had been out of her sight.
When she met Natalia in the lounge, Natalia accidentally knocked her bag off the table, and then Natalia picked it up for her. Before, when Natalia left, she seemed to apologize to her for no reason.
After reviewing the process in her mind, Cornelia was pretty sure she had figured out what had happened.
If Clair's necklace was found in her handbag, she would be unable to clear her name no matter how she explained.
In the past, she was young and thought that as long as she explained, people would understand.
Now, she understood that there were some things that didn't need to be explained at all.
Cornelia smiled and said, "Who are you? Do I know you? If you weren't someone I know, I might think I had desecrated your family's grave, which would make you smear me like this in front of so many people."
The woman in black, "You... you really have a way with words, I can't argue with you. Let's let the facts speak, dare you show your bag to everyone? If you didn't steal anything, I'll kneel down and apologize to you."
Cornelia scoffed, "Do I need someone like you to kneel and apologize? What good does your apology do me? Since you say I stole the necklace, then you should provide evidence to prove I stole it."
