Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 656

Despite her nerves, Lisa mustered the courage to speak up, "Mr. Grant, what exactly are you implying? Do you think I'd hide my own jewelry just to frame someone? My jewelry was clearly stolen, and the thief is among us. I suggest we search everyone. Whoever has my jewelry is the thief."

After she said this, the room was filled with looks of displeasure and disdain directed at her. Even Claire thought Lisa was being utterly foolish. The people here were of such high status; how could they possibly be subjected to a search?

Someone quickly shot back, "Ms. Chloe, you bought nothing more than a trinket. Besides you, who would even want it? Who would bother stealing from you?"

"A search? What gives you the right to demand that? I'm a prince, and you dare insult me like this?"

"Who is this woman, causing all this fuss? I'm here for the Queen's Tears, not this drama."

"When did the QUEEN's events start letting in just anyone?"

"It appears she's a friend of Mrs. Thorne, who brought her here."

Although these comments were made in their native tongues, Lisa heard them all translated through her earpiece. She knew they were mocking and looking down on her. Even Claire's gaze was filled with regret for bringing her along.

Her accusation was fierce. She stepped closer to Chloe, "Chloe, do you dare to show us your bag? If the brooch isn't there, I'll apologize. But if it is, then you're the thief."

Connor saw right through Lisa's scheme. She must have planted the jewelry in Chloe's bag, intending to publicly disgrace her. Connor wasn't going to let that happen.

Stepping forward, Connor spoke with icy determination, "Lisa, you have no right to search my wife's bag, and I won't let you slander her. If you claim my wife is a thief, then it's on you to provide evidence, not force her to prove her innocence after being accused."
