Just as she bent down to pick up the purse, a group of people suddenly surrounded her.
Bethany knitted her brows and felt that something was not right with the way they kept staring at her disdainfully.
“Give it up now” Marianne Downey demanded as she fumed with anger.
“Give up what? what are you talking about?”
Bethany wore a puzzled expression on her face as she didn't seem to understand what the woman was demanding from her.
Marianne looked furious as her lips vibrated vigorously as she looked at the woman with displeasure, “You stole my stuff, and you didn't dare to admit to it?”
She glared at Bethany, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
The diamond necklace that Marianne was wearing earlier was said to have gone missing right after she went to the restroom. Then, she was informed that Bethany had gone to the restroom at that time as well.
So, Marianne, had doubts surge up about Bethany being the culprit. she became even more confident with her accusation when she saw that Bethany looked like a stranger, who was new to the country.
There weren't many people from the elite society of the Bay City, who was there now, she knew the people wouldn't steal anything from getting.
how can Bethany steal the woman's stuff?.
Bethany wasn't the type to shy away from accusations, however, she felt strange to be accused of such a thing right in a public place like this, so she asked courteously.“ Is there a misunderstanding between us? I don't seem to understand where you're coming from”. Bethany said while driving a smile that didn't seem to pass her teeth.
Mrs. Downey became angrier as soon as she saw that Bethany was smiling.
One of the people, who was standing in the crowd said to her in a loud disdainful tone, “Mrs. Downey there's no need to explain things to her. just get her purse searched”.
As soon as Marianne was reminded of this method, she tried to grab the purse from Bethany's grip. However, Bethany immediately hid her purse behind her. Then, her eyes fell on Danica who was standing in the crowd, she was smiling maliciously while fiddling with her hair.
Bethany suddenly realized that something might not be right with her–knowing how ferocious Danica can be.
I've underestimated how shrewd and unruly you can get, Danica– Knowing how ferocious she can be most time but she had never expectedly.
Bethany didn't expect that Danica would use this dirty trick to have the Downeys turned against her, just so she could be thrown out of the banquet hall.
“Why is she hiding the purse? There must be something fishy”.
Another person from the crowd yelled out, pointing her fingers at Bethany.
Marianne got so much anterior after hearing what the woman. suddenly, she forgot where she was as she shouted at Bethany,“ Give me your purse, now!”.
Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone at the event, even the charity activities were brought to a sudden halt.
Bethany became the target of everyone's vision, the attention of the attendees was focused on her now.
some people even snatched her purse and gave it to Ms. Downey when she wasn't paying attention since she was still dazed by the accusations leveled against her, however, she maintained her calm expression as the woman ripped her purse open.
Suddenly, the person she had given the purse to, who was supposed to search for the necklace, screamed out with an anxious voice as he said.“Mrs. Downey, is this your necklace?”
