This unexpected accusation from Isabella visibly incensed Linda, her expression clouding over instantly. It was no secret that Javier was cherished profoundly, treated almost like the crown jewel of her life.

"What are you babbling about? How could the thief possibly be my godson?" Linda snapped, her voice tinged with disbelief. Isabella pouted. It was your godson's doing!

The Quirks found the exchange somewhat amusing, yet Linda, misinterpreting their laughter as mockery, bristled with indignation. "Are you all suspecting my godson too?" she retorted sharply. "Is there anything I wouldn't give to my godson that he'd need to resort to stealing?"

He's spoiled rotten by you, but he wouldn't dare to ask you. The moment he did, it would alert Mdm. Pearson about his gambling habit, a secret he wouldn't dare to expose.

"Linda, don't get your feathers all ruffled," Selena interjected leisurely, attempting to bring some calm to the heated discussion. "Even police officers suspect everyone present when investigating a case. It's only reasonable to suspect your godson since our Bella doesn't know him. Do you have any evidence to prove that Javier has never been to your jewelry room?"

Upon hearing Selena's reasoning, Linda was taken aback. After all, she had indeed gone to the room with Scarlett and Javier. Her main focus had been on Scarlett, intending to showcase her prowess as Javier's godmother.

As for Javier... she truly couldn't recall what he had been doing at that time.

For a moment, Linda seemed lost in her thoughts, but she quickly snapped back as if struck by a sudden realization, "Fine, you don't believe me, let's talk facts. At that time, only Scarlett was carrying a bag, and she was wearing clothes that could easily hide things. But Javier was only dressed in a simple basketball. outfit. How could he have possibly stolen my necklace under everyone's watchful eyes?"

Upon hearing this, the Quirk family members paused to consider the scenario. Regardless of where such a long string of pearls was hidden, it would likely cause a significant bulge, wouldn't it?

After the necklace went missing, everyone had been frantically searching for it. No one was blind. If it truly was on Javier, it would have been quite easy to spot.

Curiosity inevitably stirred within the Quirks. Given that no one else had been involved at the scene, they could only rely on Isabella to solve the case.

Fortunately, Isabella was quite curious as well.

She's good at debating, that's for sure. Let me investigate, how exactly did he manage to steal it? Wait a minute!

The intensity of Isabella's thoughts suddenly escalated, startling the Quirk family members present.
