Chapter 252
Jared replied nonchalantly, “Is it wrong for me to buy a necklace for my wife?”
Mamie sneered, The Heart of the Kingdom was auctioned off at Sotheby’s three years ago. It went for $14 million, bought by some mystery bidder. You and I were both there. You might fool others, but do you really think you can pull the wool over my eyes?”
‘So what do you think happened?”
*Jared, you’ve been acting strangely today, especially with Claud being here. His purchase certificate isn’t even dry yet, don’t you think it’s a bit too obvious?”
Jared fell silent
Mamie said, “But I must admit, you’ve got some guts. I bet you got in touch with the original buyer through Claud, bought the jewel off him for a high price, and quickly signed a new certificate to prove Agnes’s innocence You spent $20 million on a $14 million necklace, just to get Agnes out of a tight spot You knew that if Agnes was taken away, no matter what happened next, everyone would think she was guilty. The best way to smooth things over was to make Agnes the owner of the necklace, but Jared, spending $10 million to protect a thief? Do you have a conscience?”
Jared answered coldly. “Agnes could never be a thief. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Mamie challenged, “On what grounds do you believe she’s not a thief? The necklace was found in her bag”
“She has no reason to do this, she’s not greedy for wealth”
Mamie laughed, “She has every reason to do this. Not for the value of the necklace, but to frame me”
Jared insisted, “Agnes is not that kind of person”
“Mamie, you saw it with your own eyes When you arrived, everyone was discussing it. Almost everyone thought I was arrogant, that I framed Agnes. She stole the necklace and made sure she was caught, then blamed me Jared, she’s not as simple as you think.”
I believe Agnes wouldn’t do this”
“Mamie, then what’s the truth? When it was time to search her, she was so calm, even handing over her bag voluntarily. Would a normal person react that way? Everything was premeditated”
Jared said calmly. You’re mistaken She doesn’t have the capability to do this. I’ll investigate and give you an explanation.”
An angry Mamie retorted, “You’ve all been fooled by her Jared, I thought you were a calm and wise man Why have you suddenly become so ignorant. about this? What has she done to make you all serve her? Fine, I’ll wait I’ll wait for you to investigate and give me an explanation If you can’t find out, I won’t let her off I’m not a pushover Dont blame me for being ruthless to your wife then”
Mamie stormed off in her high heels, while Agnes chose to stay where she was As she stood there, her heart slowly grew cold and numb
It became apparent to Agnes that the necklace she received wast
solution
pre-planned gift from Jared, instead, it seemed like a last minute “emergency”
What bothered her even more was that Jared hadn’t come clean about it. He hadn’t mentioned anything about the necklace, not even an hour after they left the showroom Agnes had been overjoyed by the surprise, but now it all felt like a deception.
Questions swirled in her mind. Why did Jared feel the need to resort to this emergency solution? Was it to “prove” her innocence in some way, or was he afraid that Mamie would be wrongly accused?
