His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 64

With a smile, Tessa picked up her handbag and handed it to Wendy. "Here you go. Feel free to search it." Wendy froze, caught off guard by Tessa's straightforwardness. Could it be that Tessa had discovered the bracelet and removed it beforehand?

Wendy hesitated, glancing up at Tessa. A faint, cryptic smile played on her lips, unsettling and unreadable.

As the bag was handed over, Wendy hesitated. A sense of dread gripped her, as if she were about to walk straight into a trap set by Tessa.

While she hesitated, Yanis suddenly grabbed the bag from Tessa, unzipped it, and turned it upside down, dumping its contents onto the ground.

The Van Cleef & Arpels blue agate bracelet tumbled out, landing with a light clink.

Yanis snatched up the bracelet and demanded angrily, "You say you didn't steal it? What's this, then? And that Chanel bag of yours isn't it stolen too?"

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

Wendy let out a breath of relief when she saw the bracelet fall out of Tessa's bag. This particular handbag had gaps on either side of the zipper, making it easy for Wendy to slip the bracelet inside earlier. Luckily, it seemed Tessa hadn't noticed.
