Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Chapter 329

Jonathan’s words were powerful and convincing. Everyone prest knew he was right. If someone could be easily framed and forced to prove their innocence just because of baseless accusations, had people would have it too easy.

Moreover, the law required that whoever made a claim must provide evidence. So even if the jewelry was in Cynthia’s bag, no one had the right to search her bag unless she agreed.

Shirley didn’t understand the law, but she was persistent. She said. “If you won’t let me search, then you’re hiding something Cynthia must have stolen my rose brooch. Cynthia, you’re a thief

Jonathan knew it was a trap set by Shirley. With so many people watching, he couldn’t let the brooch be found in Cynthia’s bag now. This crude trick would leave a trail, and Cynthia’s innocence would eventually be proven.

If the brooch was found in Cynthia’s bag, it would create a misunderstanding before everyone. Even if it was later proven that Cynthia was wronged, it was meaningless. Once one was tarnished, erasing all prejudice was impossible.

When Jonathan had a cold look, Cynthia gently tugged on his sleeve. Jonathan turned to look at her, and Cynthia playfully raised her eyebrows.

This was a secret signal. There was no sign of panic or anger in Cynthia’s eyes. Instead, there was a playful and excited glint. like a fox about to do something mischievous.

Jonathan suddenly felt relieved. It turned out everything was within Cynthia’s expectations. When Cynthia stepped forward. Jonathan didn’t stop her anymore.

Cynthia said. “Shirley, you have to take responsibility for spreading rumors. You’re accusing me of stealing your jewelry, what proof do you have?”

Shirley still appeared confident. She said, “The evidence is in your bag; it must be you. You’re the only one with a motive. Cynthia, I know you also like that brooch.

“You’re my sister. If you like it, I will give it to you. There’s no need for these sneaky actions that shame the Jones family.”

Everyone present was chatting amongst themselves like they were watching an exciting play. They thought, “Who would’ve thought these two ladies are sisters?”

Their gossiping instincts made them temporarily forget about the Queen’s Tears. Everyone wanted to see how the story would progress.

In truth, nobody believed that Cynthia would steal anything. After all, Jonathan was the heir to Clusia’s wealthiest empire, and they were both quite well–known.

It was hard to imagine Cynthia would risk her reputation over 16 million dollars as Jonathan’s partner. However, Shirley claimed she and Cynthia were sisters, and it was apparent during the auction that they were in a standoff.

People thought, ‘Maybe two ladies had some previous disagreements. One might have stolen the other’s rose brooch.” People’s curious gazes shifted back and forth between Shirley and Cynthia.

Cynthia didn’t look guilty at all. She said, “Go ahead and search if you want, but what will you do if you don’t find what you’re looking for in my bag?”

Shirley was confident. She had seen Cynthia returning with the bag after slipping the item into the hidden compartment, where it would usually go unnoticed.

Shirley was sure Cynthia had no idea. She thought, ‘Cynthia was so calm only because she believed she was not stealing anything.

“Yet, no matter how composed you seem. As soon as the jewelry found in your bag, you can’t explain your way out of it. not even if you tried.

Shirley said. “If I’m falsely accusing you, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do?

Cynthia said calmly, “Then why don’t you bark like a dog three times in front of everyone since you’re so good at yapping?”

Shirley clenched her teeth in frustration. She knew Cynthia was sulting her. But once the jewelry fell out of her bag, she’d see how smug Cynthia could be.

Shirley agreed immediately, “Fine, Cynthia, I accept your challenge.”

Cynthia spoke up, “You can’t search. You can’t touch my bag. Let someone else do it?

Shirley sneered to herself, thinking, ‘Cynthia is cautious. She probably fears that I will secretly slip the jewelry inside during the search. But she doesn’t know that I have already put the brooch in

Shirley was even more confident that Cynthia had no idea the brooch existed. She spoke up, “Then let the host search”

David walked over, picked up Cynthia’s bag, and started to check it. He searched for quite some time but couldn’t find anything.

Initially, Shirley’s face was confident. But when she saw David repeatedly failing to find it, a panic suddenly hit her.

David looked up and announced, “There is no rose brooch in Mrs. Bennett’s bag

Shirley was instantly taken aback. She thought, ‘Impossible! I have placed it there myself. And I have been watching Cynthia closely. Since she came back, she hasn’t opened that bag. So the rose brooch must still be inside.

Shirley quickly moved forward, snatched Cynthia’s bag, and dumped everything onto the floor.

There weren’t many things in the bag, just Cynthia’s phone and some makeup. Nothing else. Shirley couldn’t believe it. She quickly opened the inner pocket. But it was empty too.

Shirley checked repeatedly, wishing she could shove her eyes right inside, but still couldn’t find the rose brooch. She wondered, ‘How could this happen? Why is it like this?”

Shirley pointed angrily at Cynthia’s face and asked, “Cynthia, where did you hide my rose brooch? It must be hidden somewhere else. Cynthia, it has to be you who hid it somewhere else, right?

Shirley originally intended to frame Cynthia; not only did she fail, but the rose brooch was missing. Although the brooch. wasn’t worth 16 million dollars, it was at least worth 6 million.

6 million dollars wasn’t a small amount for Shirley. Not only had Cynthia not lost her reputation, but Shirley lost the brooch. After all the time spent today, Shirley walked away empty–handed.

Shirley had already figured it out. Cynthia must have found the brooch and hidden it somewhere else. Now, it truly seemed like Cynthia had stolen her brooch.

Jonathan and Simon stepped forward almost at the same time, exchanging looks. In the end, Simon stepped back.

Jonathan said, “Shirley, why not call the police and let them handle the rest? There are plenty of cameras here. I’m sure any petty theft will be revealed.”

Simon coldly said, “Call the police”

Shirley was starting to panic. Even though she had done everything in the restroom, But having spent so much time in the detention center before, she was on edge.

she was sure no cameras were there.

Plus, she knew deep down lyn she was carrying the burden of fear response in her.

Just then, a waiter came running over. He held a tray, and on it w
