Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 250

Chapter 250 

Being on the receiving end of everyone’s blame, that was what it felt like right now. 

But Agnes knew, she couldn’t show weakness now, or people would think she was guilty. 

If someone was trying to frame her, then this was a battle. 

And the battle had just begun. She absolutely couldn’t throw in the towel. 

The manager said, “This is serious, we’ve already called the police. You should turn yourself in, it might lighten your punishment.” 

Agnes’s voice came out cold and hard, “Tve already said, the necklace wasn’t stolen by me. Why should I turn myself in? What you should do is investigate properly, to see if someone is setting me up.” 

After she finished speaking. Agnes’s gaze fell on Mamie 

Everyone there noticed this little detail. 

“Does Ms. Pritchard mean Mamie stole the ruby and put it in her bag to frame her?” 

“That’s not impossible. Ms. Pritchard is already the lady of the Tim Group, and Mr. Whitfield is extremely fond of her. She wouldn’t ruin her reputation for a ruby.” 

“I heard that Mamie often gives Ms. Pritchard a hard time, and she’s always been quite willful, so this might be true.” 

“Why don’t you guys consider that Ms. Pritchard got caught and is trying to pin the blame on Mamie. She’s still so young but has already achieved so much success, she must not be a simple person.” 

Chatter filled the exhibition hall. 

Everyone was giving their two cents. 

Mamie came up to Agnes with a scoff, “Agnes, I didn’t expect you to be so cunning, accusing me of stealing the ruby. Looks like I didn’t misjudge you, you’ve been fooling everyone” 

Agnes didn’t back down, “I never mentioned you. Maybe you should confess before anyone else does.” 

Mamie was left speechless. 

Just then, a man’s voice came from the crowd, “I took the ruby” 

The hall instantly fell silent. 

Everyone’s eyes turned towards the source of the voice 

It was the CEO of the Tim Group, Jared. 

Jared walked forward. 

The host rushed up to him, “Mr. Whitfield, what did you just say? You said you took the ruby?” 

Jared nonchalantly said, “I am the buyer of the necklace. It’s a Christmas gift for my wife. I put the ruby in her bag to surprise her, but it seems to have caused a misunderstanding” 

Everyone was puzzled. 

At this time, the person in charge of the jewelry show, the CEO of the Stone Group, Claud Stone, appeared in the crowd. 

Claud said, “I can confirm that Mr. Whitfield is the buyer of The Heart of the Kingdom. I have the certificate right here.” 

Claud brought out the certificate. Everyone saw the price on it and gasped. 

It was worth a staggering twenty million dollars. 

Mr. Whitfield casually spent twenty million dollars just to prepare a Christmas present for his wifel 

With Jared’s appearance, public opinion immediately changed. 

“So it was all a misunderstanding. Mrs. Whitfield is so lucky, this was actually a surprise from Mr. Whitfield that almost turned into a shock.” 

“Mrs. Whitfield is truly the luckiest woman in the world. It’s really enviable.”
