Erica turned to look at her, however, Bethany stopped in her tracks just as she was about to continue with her questions.
“Ms. Downey, I heard you lost your lost necklace during the event. Do you have any evidence to back up your claims?” Erica asked with her brows knitted slightly.
Caught off, Ms. Downey didn't know what to say as she had not bothered to look for evidence in the first place, and had just gone ahead to falsely accuse the woman.
“I-I-I'm.....”
Mrs. Downey stuttered trying to find the right words. However, she couldn't say anything even after stammering for a long time.
“Isn't it strange that you accuse others without evidence? If this is how you treat your guests, then I wonder how you're gonna treat your neighbors”.
Erica was blunt with her words. Bethany quickly shot her a glared to shut her up, but she wasn't done yet.
Mrs. Downey suddenly found herself lost in thought as she was getting berated for her actions, while listening to the women scolding her, she suddenly felt gullible.
how did she end up allowing others to tell her what she's to do?
“So, what can you say after searching her purse? Did you find your necklace in her bag? I don't think, you did. Am I right? Then, why have you decided to make a fuss out of nothing, tarnishing her I'm again in front of others?”.
When she heard what the woman said, Marianne's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she didn't dare to raise her head at this moment.
“ Now, I want to ask you all once again, do you have anything to say about this matter?”.She asked clutching her purse tightly before continuing to squint her eyes slightly. “I hadn't expected this from you all, especially you Mrs. Downey, and you also, Miss Medina. Why would you allow others to decide for you? Miss Medina, I think you should be more strategic sometimes.”.
When Danica heard her name being mentioned, she was startled as she quickly raised her head to look at the woman in front of her with a confusing expression as she felt that the woman was speaking in riddles and she wasn't able to understand a thing she said.
The crowd was becoming rowdy a little bit after she said these words, so they began to argue amongst themselves as no one dared to say a word against the woman for fear of getting boycotted, of she turned out to be an important person.
Danica suddenly felt that the woman was getting in the way of her plans, so she rushed forward and demanded invasively.“Who are you to interfere in this matter? Why are you defending a thief and encouraging her to do more? Am I missing something? or are you in a cohort with her? Why do I feel that you're not who you are trying to present before us?”.
She crossed her arms around her chest as she glared at the woman in front of her with undiluted anger.
