Chapter 616
Cameron said, âAsk her to open her bag and we can check itâ
Leonardo replied âOr you could call the cops and let them handle itâ
Cameron shot Leonardo an angry look âAre you implying I do not dare to call the police?â
Leonardo shrugged âWhatever floats your boatâ
âNobodyâs leaving until the cops get here Stay put,â Cameron pulled out his phone and dialed 911. After explaining the situation briefly he shot Cornelia and her friends a glare before storming off
The cops would take some time to arrive, so the spectators began to disperse. Some went to grab food, while others grabbed drinks, planning to refuel before the drama
continued
Once the others had left, Cornelia and her group found a place to sit.
Ryan eyed the necklace around Corneliaâs neck, partially hidden beneath her clothing. He leaned in and whispered, âIs that a star pendant on your necklace, Cornelia
Comelia nodded.
Ryan said, âWow! So youâre the real owner of the Heavenly Radiance!â
It turned out that the buyer of the $30 million necklace in Paris a year ago was Marcus
Cornelia admitted, âHe didnât tell me I had no ideaâ¦â
The âheâ she referred to was obviously Marcus. Ryan understood, âIf he gave it to you, itâs gotta be legit.â
Leonardo asked, âWhat are you guys on about? Iâm lost.â
âNothingâ Cornelia turned to Leonardo, âMr. Wilson, I need a favorâ¦â
Leonardo said, âShoot!â
Cornelia said, âIf Iâm not mistaken, the necklace theyâre looking for is probably in my bag.â
Leonardo took a deep breath âThank God you didnât let them search your bag. Whoâs trying to frame you? How can I help?â
Leonardo didnât suspect Cornelia of being a thief. His first thought was that someone was trying to frame her.
Cornelia grinned, âSmart!â
Leonardo glared at her, âYouâre cracking jokes at a time like this?â
Cornelia retorted, âWould you rather I cry?â
Leonardo suggested, âYou could give me the necklace. If they find it on me, Iâll say I borrowed it just for fun. That should defuse the situation.â
Comelia shook her head, and
a hint of coldness flickered in her clear eyes as she said âNo way. I didnât provoke them, but theyâre trying to harm me. I wonât just let it slide.â
Leonardo asked, âWhatâs your plan?â
Cornelia whispered something in Leonardoâs ear. He nodded, âDonât worry, Iâve got you.â
