Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 158

"What are you trying to do?" Janice instinctively took a step back, feeling a bit intimidated by Yolanda's big stature. It was as if she expected Yolanda to hit her.

However, in a setting like this, Yolanda wouldn't resort to something as crude as physical violence.

"Didn't you say your family is one of the elite families in Creybia? I didn't know that someone from an elite family would wear counterfeit jewelry to banquets."

"What?"

"Counterfeit jewelry?"

Yolanda's words left the surrounding guests stunned. Instantly, everyone's attention shifted to the diamond necklace around Janice's neck.

When Janice first arrived at the banquet hall, she had already shown off the necklace while claiming to be keeping a "low profile".

She claimed that the diamond necklace was called "Dazzling Starlight" and there was only one of it in the whole wide world. Then, she brought up that it had been sold for 200 million dollars at an international auction.

The other wealthy ladies and socialites had been envious that she had such a rare piece. Was it possible that the necklace was actually a fake?

Janice raised her voice and hurriedly retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Don't run your mouth carelessly if you don't know anything!

"My father bought this at a high price from an international auction house! How could an item from an auction house possibly be fake?"

After hearing Janice's defense, the surrounding guests began to chime in as well.

"I don't think Ms. Youle would wear a fake piece!"

"Exactly! She's so wealthy. Why would she buy a fake diamond necklace?"

Chaos erupted at the scene. Everyone present was someone of status, so witnessing such an incident at a high-end banquet was a rare spectacle.

Yolanda raised an eyebrow as she held the necklace with a sneer. "Steal this cheap imitation that is only worth a few hundred dollars? Like I'd even be interested in it."

With that, she tightened the grip on her right hand. A crisp sound rang out, and the largest diamond on the necklace was crushed into pieces.

As the fragments of the fake diamond fell to the ground, the room descended into an eerie silence. Would a real diamond shatter so easily? This "Dazzling Starlight" necklace was evidently a fake.

"The real 'Dazzling Starlight' was indeed purchased by a mysterious buyer in Creybia, but it wasn't someone from the Youle family," Yolanda declared.

She was certain of this not only because she could tell the difference between real and fake diamonds, but also because "Dazzling Starlight" had originally been bought by Caleb as a coming-of-age gift for her.

The real necklace should still be sitting in her dressing room in the Hoffman family's residence in Creybia. Of course, it was also possible that the impostor Nydia might be currently wearing it out in public and flaunting it everywhere.
