Chapter 698 Ganging Up On Me
Skylar would rather not discuss Tobias' past affairs, so their late-night conversation ended at that point.
The next morning, Mavis flipped the hotel room upside down trying to find her diamond ring.
Since Skylar shared the room with her, she immediately turned to the former when she could not find it.
“Have you seen my ring?”
Skylar shook her head in response, for even though she had seen the ridiculously large diamond ring
on Mavis' ring finger the day before, she had not seen it since. “Did you leave it somewhere?”
Mavis was so anxious that she did not care that the cameras were rolling and pointed at them. “Are you
sure you didn't take it without my permission for photos or whatever and forgot to return it to me?”
“Why the heck would I do that? Do you think I can't afford to buy one myself if I wanted one?” retorted
Skylar, annoyed that Mavis spoke to her as if she was a thief.
Since Skylar came from a needy family, Mavis presumed that the woman was no stranger to thievery.
Still, it was the first time in a reality show that an artist suspected another of stealing her property.
Just then, Mackayla decided to say something to defend Skylar. “Do you have any idea how much
Skylar earns from endorsement fees alone? Why would she steal your ring?”
In response, Mavis shot daggers at Mackayla before scoffing, “So, you're ganging up on me now, huh?
Is that what this is?”
Sensing the tension in the room, Saorise intervened. “Talking isn't going to make the ring appear, so
why don't we continue looking instead? The cameras were kept on the whole time, right?”
“Skylar turned them off before we went to bed. I wondered why she wanted them off so early; now I
know,” sneered Mavis. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Fed up with Mavis' accusation, Skylar decided to hand the woman her suitcase. “Open them and see if
you—”
Before Skylar could even finish her sentence, Mavis swiftly rummaged through the suitcase and found
her ring in one of the pockets. In that instant, Skylar, along with everyone else in the room, immediately
dropped their jaws.
Since Skylar had no idea how the ring ended up in her suitcase, she was convinced that somebody
had put it there on purpose.
Mavis scrutinized the diamond ring after putting it back on her ring finger before turning to narrow her
eyes at Skylar. “I wanted to give you a chance to fess up since we're on camera, but I guess you didn't
appreciate it.”
Skylar stared at Mavis in disbelief as she tried to recollect herself.
The cameras even gave her a close-up of her facial expressions.
When Saorise asked Skylar what had happened, the latter replied, “I'm just as baffled as you are. The
ring probably grew a pair of legs and sneaked into my suitcase.” Great. Because of this, my schedule's
going to be all over the place. My goodness! Who would've thought I'd be accused of thievery on a
reality show!
Skylar insisted that she wanted to get the police involved and promised that she would willingly go to
jail if found guilty.
Hearing that, the director quickly pulled her aside. “Mdm. Skylar, if we call the police, it's going to affect
our shooting schedule.”
Kai only heard about the incident after he woke up. He did not know what Mavis was up to, but he was
sure that Skylar would never steal. Unless Skylar wants to watch her career crash and burn, anybody
in their right mind would know that she has no reason to do such a thing.
