Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3158

Jacinta was rummaging through her drawers in a panic, but the look in her eyes was calm.

Megan noticed the contrast, and she immediately deduced that things would not be as simple as they seemed.

Donna rushed to Jacinta's side and urgently asked, "Jacinta, what are you looking for?"

"My necklace! My favorite necklace is gone! It's worth three million.Even if you sell everything you own, you'll never be able to compensate me for it.Hurry and look for it!"

By then, Jonas arrived as well, having been attracted by the commotion.

When Jacinta saw him, she lunged into his arms and started wailing, "What do I do, Jonas? My necklace is missing! That's my favorite item!"

Jonas patted her back and consoled, "It's okay, it's okay.Just look around for it.I'm sure it's not lost."

However, no one could find anything even after a thorough search.

Thus, it had become a fact that Jacinta's necklace was truly lost.

In Jonas’ arms, Jacinta sobbed.

Megan watched her from the side quietly, knowing that it was all but a show by Jacinta.It was an excuse for her to come into close contact with Jonas.

Right then, a thought entered Donna's mind.

After a long while of hesitation, she mumbled, "I think Megan was the one to tidy up the jewelry box."

Despite her reluctance to voice it out loud, Donna had still done so.

Everyone then turned to look at Megan suspiciously.She's a country bumpkin.She must not have seen pretty jewelry.

That must be why she stole it.

Right then, Megan finally realized why Jacinta had gone through some trouble to set up the show.

However, she calmly took out her bag and showed the crowd.

"It's true that I tidied up the jewelry box, but I didn't take anything."Yet, Jacinta insisted, "It's worth more than three million! I want to search her!"

"I said I didn't take it"

"Ha,"

Jacinta sneered before staring at Megan's face.

"It's too early to say that.Maybe you hid it somewhere out of sight.Strip! If we still can't find anything, it means you're innocent."

Almost immediately, Megan's expression turned as dark as the night.

She gritted her teeth as her hands balled into fists.

Jacinta's not trying to blame me for theft; she's trying to humiliate me! "No, came Megan's short answer.

When Jacinta's eyes met Megan's, a chill threatened to run down her spine.

Furrowing as she looked at Megan, Jacinta then laughed.

"Why, you stole my things, but you're giving me that look? It's one thing for you to steal my makeup like you did before, but this time, you've gone overboard.I have to teach you a lesson!"

Hearing Jacinta's words, the crowd was dumbfounded with disbelief.

Those who knew Jacinta knew about her temper.

Stealing from Jacinta was the same as stealing from a queen.

Who gave her the courage to do this? The heated discussion that was ongoing around them traveled into Megan's ears.

As she looked at Jacinta, she sneered.

There's no way I'm going to take off my clothes.I've crossed Jacinta anyway.It won't matter if I cross her again.

With that thought in mind, Megan took a few steps closer toward Jacinta.

Right as she was about to pretend to trip and pull down Jacinta's dress to strip her instead, Jonas suddenly stood up.

"Jacie, there's no need to do this."

His calm and steady voice made Jacinta's heart shudder.She turned around to look at him with a doting but frustrated gaze.

"She's used you, and she stole my things.Why are you talking on behalf of a despicable person like her?"

Jacinta had never spoken to him in that way, and his good impression of her was beginning to fade away.

A little infuriated, he knitted his brows and said, "You have no proof to say that she's the thief.Moreover, it's too vile to confront her in this way.I can't bear to keep watching this"

Jacinta froze as her heart skipped a beat. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

It was then she realized it seemed like she had crossed the line.

She had wanted to embarrass Megan, but it seemed as though she had embarrassed herself instead.
