Chapter 5

Vicious and evil?

Janet let out a snort and stared coldly at Daran and Harper.

Casper was attracted over by their earlier arguments and was now just in time to hear Daran’s latest words.

With a furious look on his face, Casper stepped forward and was about to snap.

Yet a hand grabbed onto his sleeves.

Janet shook her head towards Casper and mouthed to him:

I got this.

Casper paused and then smiled resignedly.

He stepped down and returned the battlefield to Janet.

“So you are saying the necklace was gone after the night we were kidnapped. And you are accusing me of stealing it?” Janet glared down at Harper.

Harper nodded weakly, her face still covered in tears.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Janet’s face as she said, “But besides the two of us, there were rogues that night as well. So why didn’t you suspect those outlaws at all? Why did you specifically target me?”

Harper widened her eyes as panic fleeted across her eyes.

“I–I didn’t target it at you!” Harper cried urgently. “I just thought…since it was you who took the necklace out of the safe, you must have it with you when we were kidnapped. Those rogues must not have noticed the necklace-”

“OK. Let’s go with your theory. Let’s assume those rogues didn’t notice it.”

Janet asked coldly:

“But if I really have the necklace with me, why didn’t I present the necklace to those rogues in exchange. for

Daran’s face turned dark instantly.

Faced by Janet’s question, Harper stuttered nervously:

“W–What do you mean? I don’t understand…”
