Chapter 659

After hearing that comment, everyone in the room scrunched up their faces in distaste, and some even took a step back. Lisa was flabbergasted. But David, ever the diplomat, stepped in, saying, "Ms. Chloe, it seems your jewelry got misplaced. Now that it's returned, you should make sure it's safe."

Lisa was boiling inside. She couldn't grasp how the jewelry she had personally slipped into Chloe's purse, keeping an eye on it the whole time, ended up in the toilet, only to be fished out by the cleaning crew, still dripping wet. It might even have toilet water on it. David nudged Lisa again to put away her jewelry. But Lisa stood there, frozen. That's when Chloe chimed in, "Perhaps my sister's not too thrilled about her jewelry taking a dive. If she doesn't want it, maybe the hosts could donate it to charity."

Lisa snapped out of her daze at that. She had splurged fifty million on that piece. Even if Chloe had set her up, it was still worth at least twenty million. Donate it to charity? Chloe must be doing this on purpose.

Lisa dashed forward, grabbing the rose brooch off the server's tray. "Chloe, this is mine, not yours to decide about," Lisa said, her voice tinged with anger. Chloe just gave a faint smile and didn't bother to counter her. But the onlookers were buzzing with whispers. Seeing Lisa snatch the tray, some even covered their noses and mouths as if the jewelry in question wasn't what had plunged into the toilet, but Lisa herself.
