Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 159 Her Bracelet Was Stolen

Chapter 159 Her Bracelet Was Stolen

Charlotte gasped, "But my uncle said that the bracelet was given by someone else, and he didn't take any money."

Hearing her words, Eloise laughed angrily, "That's Secondary Deposit, Jadeite! And it's imperial green jadeite of the best quality. Do you know that your bracelet costs at least eight figures?"

Charlotte was dumbfounded, "... Is it...so expensive?!"

Eloise quickly nudged her, "Since you know it's expensive, why don't you hurry up and get it back?! Let's go! I'm going with you."

However, nothing was on the sink when they got to the bathroom.

Eloise looked at Charlotte, "Have you forgotten where you put it?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "It's impossible. I remember it very clearly. I put it on the sink."

Eloise rummaged through the entire bathroom, but there was no bracelet. Her face darkened, "... It's gone."

...

"Eight figures..." Hazel murmured, smiling smugly, "It seems I have a pretty good eye."

After getting married, she quit her job and became a housewife. Later, she became obsessed with gambling. At first, she had tasted the sweetness of gambling and thought she could make a fortune. But unexpectedly, she had lost everything, including the insurance money on the accidental death of Arthur's mother. She had thought she could eventually win it back, so she had even

misappropriated the money her husband had saved to send Maxwell to an exclusive kindergarten. However, the money seemed to have been wasted and ended up in other people's pockets.

The new month was about to begin, and Maxwell's kindergarten was about to start charging tuition, but there was no penny left in her bank card. Hazel finally started to panic. If her husband knew about it, there would be a big fight, and she might even be divorced.

But she was lucky enough. After throwing the dog out that day, Arthur came back alone. She thought that this little bitch had finally been taught a lesson. But she accidentally saw a series of numbers on his arm. It turned out to be someone's phone number. After being pressed, Arthur finally said that a wealthy young girl had adopted the dog, so Hazel had set her sights on Charlotte.

She had always hated her husband's ex. So after that woman died, she immediately killed the poor woman's favorite dog, made a dog meat roast, and even forced Arthur to eat a plate of dog meat. She had never wanted to keep that puppy, but that bastard Arthur had fought tooth and nail for it.

She remembered that the dog was a Samoyed with a pure bloodline and could be sold for a few bucks, so she had decided to trick Charlotte into coming to her house to blackmail her and get money to pay for her son's school fees. But she had never expected that she saw a beautiful bracelet on Charlotte's wrist!

She had worked in a jewelry company and was good at identifying goods. She immediately realized that it was a bracelet made of top-quality imperial green jadeite worth a lot of money, so she gave up her original plan and targeted it instead.

Of course, she had spilled the juice to make Charlotte take off the bracelet and go to the bathroom. Then she asked Maxwell to scare Eloise with a simulated snake. When Charlotte heard the scream, she immediately rushed out, ignoring the bracelet. Later, when she returned to the room with Maxwell in her arms, she could take the bracelet away without anyone noticing it. It was a perfect plan.

Hazel kissed the bracelet and murmured, "I'm counting on you to get rich."

She put it in her safe before she opened the door and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Eloise gritted her teeth and said, "Char's bracelet is gone!"

Hazel played dumb, "What bracelet? Did she leave it somewhere? Look for it quickly." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"We've looked for it everywhere but couldn't find it," Eloise said.

Hazel was stunned, and the smile on her face changed, "...What do you mean? Do you think I stole it? I didn't see any bracelet."

Charlotte tugged at Eloise's sleeve and said, "Eloise, maybe it was left somewhere. Let's look for it again."

"What are you looking for? How can such a big bracelet be left without being noticed?" Eloise frowned and turned to look at Charlotte, "Are you stupid or something?! Why didn't you give me the bracelet when you went in to take a shower?"

It was such a top-quality piece of jade. Even for a big family like the Thomas or Wesley family, it would be good enough to be made a family heirloom. Still, this silly girl Charlotte had just put it on someone else's sin casually!

Charlotte was so scolded that she hung her head, "Well, I didn't know it would disappear."

Eloise glanced at Hazel, "It's said that jade has spiritual power, but it's certainly not spiritual enough to have disappeared on its own. What do you think, Mrs. Cole?"

Hazel growled, "Miss, don't make any insinuations! I didn't see any bracelet, let alone steal one! I would never do such a thing!"

Eloise also got excited, "Char put the bracelet on the sink. Now we've searched everywhere, but couldn't find it. I have a reason to doubt you!"

Hazel said, "It's just a bracelet. How much is it worth? I'll compensate you! I couldn't bear your accusation!"

Hazel was so angry that her eyes turned red, full of shame and anger at being wronged. Charlotte pursed and said, "Let's look for it again. Mrs. Cole wouldn't have stolen my bracelet."

But Hazel opened the door directly and roared, "Everyone, come and take a look! With good intentions, I invited them to my home, but these two girls wrongly accused me of stealing!"

Most people had already gotten off work at this hour, and the sound insulation in this community was not good. Hearing Hazel's shouts, several neighbors opened their doors and looked over curiously.

Hazel was a housewife and had gotten on well with her neighbors. With tears in her eyes, she said aggrievedly, "My neighbors, please come to take a look! I am allergic to dog hair and cannot keep dogs at home, so Arthur gave the puppy away. I thought that Arthur would miss the puppy, so I asked the adopter to come to my house and show Arthur the puppy. Unexpectedly, these two girls falsely accused me of stealing their jade bracelet! Yes! My family is poor, but I'm not poor enough to steal things!"

Immediately, someone began to accuse, "Young girl, if you lost something, go look for it. Don't wrongly accuse others! Hazel is a nice woman. She would never steal your bracelet."

Hazel had always looked gentle and polite with others around, so her neighbors had a good impression of her. In addition, since they were neighbors, they would help someone closer to them.

Hazel cried, "I said I would compensate them, but they refused..."

An old man immediately became angry, "Since you didn't steal it, why should you pay for it?! These two young girls look beautiful but are shameless enough to do this!"

Everyone regarded Charlotte and Eloise as liars. This kind of thing happened a lot. Someone wicked would lie about losing something, blame it on someone else, and ask the latter for money. The world was developing, and the times were progressing. Nowadays, older people can recognize fraud easily.

Eloise quickly refuted, "Compensate?! Can she afford it?!"
