Selena started rummaging through Elysia’s bag, and she was shocked to find that the Azure Ocean wasn’t there. She checked every corner again, but still nothing. Panic began to set in–if she couldn’t find it, she’d have to pay Elysia for the necklace.

“Everything okay? Still can’t find it?” Elysia raised an eyebrow, a sarcastic tone creeping into her voice.

The others were taken aback.

“Selena, is it not in the bag?” Yolanda asked, concern creeping into her voice.

Selena nodded. Natalie quickly suggested. “Selena, do you think she might be hiding it on her?”

Selena looked at Elysia. The dress Elysia wore today wasn’t really suitable for hiding a necklace, but Selena couldn’t overlook any possible clues.

Just as Selena was about to check Elysia, a firm hand grabbed her wrist. She glanced down to see Elena looking at her coldly. Her voice was sharp when she said, “Don’t go too far. She could possibly have hidden the necklace on her.

Elysia was stunned. She was sure she had never interacted with Elena before–so why was she defending her?

Selena felt nervous, her palms sweaty. Elena’s intimidating presence could make anyone feel uneasy, and no one in their circle dared to provoke her.

Elena had never joined their events or parties before. They only sent her invites out of habit, never actually expecting her to show up. But today, not only did she come, but she also stood by Elysia.

“Elena, we agreed earlier that we would do a body search, and Elysia agreed to it. Isn’t what you’re doing right now a bit inappropriate?” Yolanda questioned, raising an eyebrow,

Elysia, worried about getting Elena involved in her troubles, quickly said, “I’m okay with the search.”

Elena shot Elysia a glance and finally released Selena’s wrist.

Elysia stretched out her arms, allowing Selena to check her over and over–there was still no sign of the Azure Ocean.
