Chapter 281

“What? Is it necessary to investigate this further?” Selina raised her hand

arrogantly and proudly declared, “Most of the people here witnessed it. The

necklace was around my neck. Old Mr. Quillen, if you doubt it, feel free to

check the hotel surveillance.”

“That’s right! I can vouch for it!”

“I saw it too!”

“This is the precious token of affection that Mr. Lane gave to Selina. It’s worth

30 million!”

claim.

that they had misunderstood a crucial detail.
