She doesn’t even have the need to steal anything. “You think she’s that desperate to steal your necklace?” Derek shot Rachel an icy look, his warning tone sending chills down everyone’s spine.

The crowd was surprised that Derek was taking Alice’s side, and they wondered why. Derek should just be a stranger to Alice. Moreover, he had always been a fair and righteous man.

The cops were flummoxed as well. They were surprised that Derek wanted to close the case just like that, and without any questioning too. It’s obvious he’s taking her side. Who is she to him?

Scared by Derek’s intimidation, Rachel shut up. No one would say anything even if Derek was taking Alice’s side. No one wanted to get on his bad side, just like how they didn’t want to get on Keith’s bad side.

Just when the case was about to blow over, Emma walked toward them and put on a protective sister act. “She would never steal your necklace. Don’t try to slander her. She has everything she wants. There’s no way she would steal anything of yours.”

Derek’s face fell. Now, she steps up? Man, this b*tch can really stir up drama.

Rachel was scared a moment ago, but the moment Emma showed up, she gained some confidence. “You can never be too sure. Some people are born jealous. Besides, Xandra’s necklace is a limited edition. It’s not cheap, you know.”

“It’s easy to find out if she stole the necklace or not—just let us check her bag. If she didn’t steal it, we can prove her innocence as well. You don’t want everyone to suspect her of thievery, don’t you?” Xandra made a solid point, but her goal was still the same: to check Alice’s bag.
