Chapter 319
One of the students clicked her tongue and said, “What do you mean if we find it on the ground? Whoever stole it, just come forth and admit it.”
Soon after, she opened her bag and showed it to everyone, saying, “I’ll start. See? I didn’t
steal it.”
Bonnie did not want to waste any more time. So, she also unzipped her bag. Surprisingly, a necklace slid out when she removed her blue file. She picked up the necklace, confused.
Huh?”
“Whoa, you should be an actress! You feigned ignorance and opened your bag so soon. I’m sure your plot to pass yourself off as innocent backfired. How sickening!” Natalee could. not stand Bonnie, rolling her eyes at the latter.
Avril stood before Bonnie and said, “You don’t have to be so nasty. Who gave you the right to talk to Bonnie that way? Just because the necklace was in her bag doesn’t mean she stole it, genius. Does it make you a thief if I accidentally put my bracelet in your bag?”
Bonnie stared at Avril with a hint of humor in her eyes.
‘That’s what a true friend looks like. She’ll believe me and pit herself against anyone, no
matter what.”
“Avril, stop defending Bonnie. Still, I guess you have a point. Someone else could’ve set her up. I would believe that if the same thing happened to anyone else. Even so, we’re talking about Bonnie here. Everyone here knows what happened between her and her
family.
“It’s safe to say that even her countryside parents disowned her. Think about it. She’s just at student and must’ve run out of money to pay for her studies. That must be why she stole Rene’s necklace,” Natalee analyzed the situation with misguided and biased thoughts.
“You think Bonnie ran out of money? This necklace is only worth ten grand. It’s nothing to brag about.” Avril waved around and then pointed at her bracelet. “Do you know how much this is worth? It’s worth ten million dollars. Bonnie purchased it at an auction.
“She’s wearing one, too. That means Bonnie spent twenty million getting these. She also appraised a pair of ice jadeites with floating flower patterns from random chunks of stone at the Antique Jade Appreciation Conference last weekend.
“If she puts those up for auction, she’ll earn hundreds of millions! With that in mind, do you
atht think Bonnie would want a necklace worth ten grand?
Netelee scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Damn, hundreds of millions, huh? Hahaha! You must be tripping. No one will ever believe your bullshit.”
The other students were in disbelief.
“Avril, I know you come from a wealthy family, but you Smiths aren’t one of the prominent if you said your bracelet ones in Pyralis. Twenty million, my ass! I would’ve believed you costs a hundred grand or even a million.”
Natalee could tell Avril’s bracelet cost a fortune, but she’d never believe it was worth ten
million a piece.
“Bonnie, return the necklace to Rene and apologize to her. We’re all classmates here. There’s no need to turn this into a big deal. I only ask that you sincerely apologize to Rene. No one here will mention this incident to anyone else.
“With that said, you must promise me you’ll turn over a new leaf and never steal again. If we find out you did it again, we’ll report you to the cops.”
Bonnie stared at Natalee indifferently, saying, “I didn’t steal it.”
“Tsk! Does anyone buy her crap?”
Bonnie glanced at the security camera in the hallway and said, “There’s a camera facing the lecture hall’s back door. We’ll find out who snuck in here while we were out for PE.”
Natalee spoke everyone’s mind, “You just don’t know when to quit, do you? It looks like your want to do things the hard way. We’ll be here all day to see how you keep up this act.”
Meanwhile, the still–hiding Jordynn grew anxious. She was so focused on looking through Bonnie’s bag just now that she overlooked the security camera in the hallway. Before she
knew it, the whole class returned to the lecture hall.
However, they discovered that the duration between their time in physical education class
and their return had been tampered with and overwritten.
“What are the chances? Someone tampered with the footage when we went for PE.” Avril
was upset.
Natalee cackled. “Yeah, what a coincidence, huh? That’s only the tampered part. Everything else seems normal.”
“What’s with the sarcasm, Natalee? Are you implying that Bonnie did this?”
Chapter 319-
“Is that such a crazy idea? We’re all computer science students. Anyone here could’ve
hacked into the security cameras.”
