Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 619

Seeing Cornelia pull something suspicious from her bag, the onlooking guests began to chatter. "Is President Hartley's assistant really a thief?"

"No way. I've heard President Hartley is a strict boss, and if she didn't follow the rules, she would have been fired a long time ago."

"Maybe she never stole before, but seeing a necklace worth 30 million dollars, she couldn't help but be tempted."

Cameron was pleased with the crowd's reaction, just as he anticipated. "Sir, how are you going to handle this?"

Cornelia interrupted Cameron, speaking calmly, "Hold your horses on punishing me. Let me double-check, is this necklace the one Clair lost?"

Cameron responded, "Bring it closer for me to see."

Cornelia politely handed the necklace over to Cameron. After examining it, he confirmed, "Yes, this is indeed the Heavenly Radiance my stepmother lost. Now, I’m curious to hear how you'll defend yourself."

Cornelia calmly addressed the crowd, "The Heavenly Radiance is the last work of Paris artist Wayland, made for the one he loved, marked with two letters on the star pendant."

Looking at the necklace in Cameron's hand, she continued, "Sadly, Mr. Reese, this necklace is not only poorly made, but it also lacks the signature letters. It's clearly a knockoff."

Cameron smirked and retorted, "So, if you say it's fake, it's fake? What gives you the right to say that? Even if it's fake, it doesn't prove you didn't steal it. Besides, this necklace is the real Heavenly Radiance, worth 30 million dollars. The amount you stole is significant enough for you to serve years in jail. Officer, the evidence is clear now, you can take her away."

"What’s the rush?" Cornelia looked ahead as a curtain dropped from the second floor. The lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and a spotlight shone on the curtain.

Two figures appeared on the curtain, Clair and Natalia.

Clair handed the necklace to Natalia, whispered something in her ear, and she nodded before leaving.

The scene switched to Natalia and Cornelia. Natalia was following Cornelia, and while she was talking with someone, Natalia discreetly slipped the necklace into a small gap in her bag.

After some time, someone finally asked, "What letters are engraved on the star?"

Cornelia replied, "HC. H for hero, C for Cara, the nickname of Wayland’s wife. If you don't believe me, you can check the details of the star on the Paris auction website."

She made up a story on the spot, just to get by.

Someone actually took out their phone to verify her story.

Cameron didn't know the necklace was fake, so he didn't stop them. "Take your time, check thoroughly, it would be even better if there are pictures to compare the details."

Suddenly, Granger's chilly voice rang out from behind him, "You ungrateful child, shouldn't you be entertaining your guests instead of framing an innocent girl with a fake necklace?"
