Chapter 216 Flirt With Me

#Finished

In that short span of time, everyone had already begun to murmur amongst themselves. They had come to know that the lost item was a birthday gift once given by Josiah to Audrey, worth a million. When that necklace was mentioned, both Dakota and Josiah's expressions turned rather unpleasant.

With the backing of Audrey, Camila suddenly said, "If you have nothing to hide, why won't look in your bag? I'm sure there's something fishy going on."

"You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? I told you, no? She's my girlfriend. Can't I provide her with whatever she wants? Does she need to steal a necklace?" Josiah defended Dakota. Dakota also said. "Why is it that when you lose something, I'm the one you suspect? Also, why should I have to prove my innocence just because of your accusations? That doesn't make sense."

In truth, Dakota had already begun to harbor doubts and worries. After all, she had deeply experienced the unfriendliness of Audrey and Camila.

Just then, Camila suddenly pointed at the bracelet on the table and exclaimed, "Hey! This is the same design as Audrey's necklace.

Before anyone could react to her words, Camila quickly picked up the bracelet and asked, "So? Whose is this? It's yours, isn't it?"

Dakota looked at the bracelet with a troubled expression. "I've just returned it to Mr. Josiah."

"It was yours, then," Camila uttered excitedly.

"I remember the necklace Josiah gave me. It came with a bracelet, too. Is this the one?" Audrey suddenly

asked.

When those words fell, the place immediately erupted in surprise.

Countless voices merged together into a single sentence.

"What? Did he give the main piece to Audrey and the complimentary piece to his girlfriend? No wonder Mr. Josiah always keeps her hidden. He must not think much of her." The spectators hadn't yet pieced together the more bizarre truth at that time. They merely assumed Josiah looked down on his girlfriend, so he would casually fob her off with anything.

It felt as if Dakota had been slapped in the face. Even though she had broken up with Josiah, she never wanted to bring up this issue for a quarrel. To her, it was a humiliation. Afterall, she had once treasured. this bracelet immensely.

Josiah stiffened, a pang of guilt washing over him despite his initial belief that he'd done nothing wrong. He wished he could turn back time. His heart was filled with anxiety, yet he didn't dare to look at Dakota Instead, he glared fiercely at Audrey and Camila. "Are you upset with Josiah and want to use my necklace to confront him? You could have just told me." Audrey said, feigning innocence.

"She's still a thief," Camila immediately said. "She probably felt that Josiah didn't value her enough, and in her anger, she took the necklace as revenge."
