“Sierra, this… Isn’t cool at all! Stop joking around!” Wendy interjected, her face full of discomfort, attempting to pull Sierra away.

“Who’s joking? I’m the victim here, she stole my stuff and won’t admit it. Shouldn’t she be checked?”

“You’ve gone too far!” A voice filled with fury echoed around the room.

Everyone turned to look at Elizabeth, her usually cheerful demeanor replaced with a stern, angry expression.

Sierra shrunk back, a look of fear crossing her face as she looked at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth’s chest heaved with anger. Checking her stuff? This was downright insulting, especially in this setting!

Publicly checking Chloe’s stuff, what about her reputation?

“Everyone knows that Chloe is my future daughter–in–law, the future Mrs. Harper. You want to publicly check her stuff? Are you trying to insult me, or the Harper family? How do you get the guts to say such things?!”

“Elizabeth, I…” Sierra stuttered nervously, glancing at Chloe before mustering the courage to reply, “She’s not yet married into the Harper family, right? Elizabeth, I’m just trying to show you her true colors. A woman with such behavior, how can she marry into the Harper family!”

“I can see clearly for myself. I don’t need your help! There are plenty of women who have married into the Harper family, but you definitely don’t deserve to be one of them!” Stung by these words, Sierra stared at Elizabeth, her eyes welling up with tears.

All her life she dreamed of marrying into the Harper family. If not Damon, then Nathan!

Why did she…

Wasn’t all she was doing for the good of the Harper family…

Seeing the stalemate, Chloe smirked, casting a discreet glance at Wendy.

She wouldn’t let this opportunity to completely embarrass herself in front of everyone slip away. And besides, she was well–prepared. Why would she quit halfway?

Sure enough, as soon as Chloe’s eyes met hers, Wendy stepped forward, standing in front of Elizabeth.

Her face showed a touch of hesitation, “Elizabeth, Sierra indeed crossed the line today. As her sister, I must apologize to you and Chloe…but…”

Chloe raised an eyebrow.

Here it came.

“But, considering how things have escalated, what about Chloe’s reputation if we don’t resolve this? The only solution now is to prove Chloe’s innocence and give her the justice she deserves…”

Elizabeth frowned, giving Wendy a cold look, but remained silent, not taking Wendy’s bait.

“So Ms. Wendy’s suggestion is still to check her stuff.”

Wendy was frustrated that no one was following her lead when Chloe suddenly spoke, echoing her thoughts. Wendy gave a small smile, “Otherwise… do you have any other solutions?”

Chloe gave a slight smile, “Since the wise Ms. Wendy suggests it, I respect that.”

Wendy’s brows furrowed, sensing something off about Chloe’s words.

Respect her?

How could she possibly respect her?

Chloe gave her a casual look, then turned to Sierra, “If the results show that I didn’t steal anything, and you falsely accused me, how should we resolve this?”

Sierra was stunned by Chloe’s sudden compliance, feeling a little confused. Now even she was starting to doubt whether Chloe actually stole the bracelet.

She cautiously glanced at Wendy. Wendy gave her a reassuring look, and she finally managed a snort. “How could it not be you who stole it? Fine, if it’s not you, I’ll apologize and we’ll deal with it legally!”

“Slander can carry a maximum sentence of three years in prison,” Chloe said calmly.

“Then let it be three years!”

“Alright, I agree to the search.” Chloe nodded, turning to look at Wendy.

“Since it’s Ms. Wendy who suggested the search, and I deeply trust her character, let’s leave the task to her.”

As Chloe said this, Damon, Nathan, and another woman walked over from a distance.

Hearing Chloe’s words, both Damon and Nathan frowned. Wendy suggested a search?

Wendy, facing away from them, also frowned, “This… doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”

“But what to do? I only trust you. Who else here would be kind enough to prove my innocence?”

“Please, Ms. Wendy.”

With that, Chloe stepped closer, slowly spreading her arms.

“Chloe!”

Elizabeth watched, clearly disapproving.

A girl, being falsely accused, and now having to be searched. Hadn’t she considered her own dignity? Did she think she was easy to bully?

However, Chloe just gave her a faint smile, “It’s okay, Mom. This is the only way to prove my innocence now.”

“But you…

Chloe’s smile was gentle, but Elizabeth noticed the fatigue in her eyes, and fell silent. Perhaps it was best to resolve this issue quickly so she can rest.

Wendy looked at Chloe’s guiltless composure, a cold sneer formed in her heart, as she moved in front of Chloe,

“Well then… I’m sorry.”

Chloe arched an eyebrow, “Go ahead.”

Wendy smiled, reaching out to pat down Chloe from head to toe. But just as her hand touched Chloe’s shoulder, Chloe suddenly said,

“Ms Wendy, save your time. Just check the pockets.”

Wendy’s heart pounded. She had to look up slightly to see Chloe, who was taller than her. At this moment, Chloe’s expression was cold, but there was a hint of amusement. in her eyes, giving off an ironic vibe.

Frowning and looking down, Wendy was filled with unease. The thought of backing down crossed her mind, sensing that Chloe wouldn’t be an easy opponent. But she also knew there was no turning back now

She had no clue what was really going on in Chloe’s mind. With a furrowed brow, she slowly reached into the pocket of Chloe’s jacket.

The moment her hand dipped into the pocket, Wendy was the one who was stunned.

Chloe gave her a glance, then turned her gaze to Damon and Nathan, who were looking over from across the room. With a smile on her face, she subtly raised her eyebrows. Her confident and cunning demeanor made it seem like she had everything under control.
