A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 423 Going up Against the Public Opinion

Sierra noticed the triumph in Melody's eyes and tightened her grip on her purse. She didn't snap out of it until her palms were jabbed uncomfortably. Then, she gave Hayley a sincere look.

"Ms. Jenkins, I have never laid a finger on your ring, and I'm not the type who would take someone else's personal effects. I think there's a misunderstanding here."

Lauren vehemently stopped her from leaving, and Melody brought Hayley over to look for the ring.

The earlier waitress also said that she had mistaken Sierra for someone else when she had just addressed her as "Ms. Shaw" just moments before.

All of these pointed to the fact that it was a setup. If her speculation was correct, the ring was probably in her purse right now.

Sierra intended to leave the party first and have the ring sent to Hayley later. Naturally, Lauren wasn't about to let her walk off that easily.

Just as she was about to take a step, Lauren yanked at her arm and said sarcastically, "Sierra, Ms. Jenkins must've secured some evidence before she looked for you and wanted you to return the ring.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is it because you're feeling diffident?"

Sierra noticed how Lauren was determined to pin the theft on her, and she retorted sharply, "You seem to be very sure that I have the ring. Why is that? Did you see it before?"
