This unexpected usation from Isabe visibly incensed Linda, her expression clouding over
instantly. It was no secret that Javier was cherished profoundly, treated almost like the crown jewel
of her life.
“What are you babbling about? How could the thief possibly be my godson?” Linda snapped, her
voice tinged with disbelief.
Isabe pouted. It was your godson’s doing!
The Quirks found the exchange somewhat amusing, yet Linda, misinterpreting theirughter as
mockery, bristled with indignation. “Are you all suspecting my godson too?” she retorted sharply.
“Is there anything I wouldn’t give to my godson that he’d need to resort to stealing?”
He’s spoiled rotten by you, but he wouldn’t dare to ask you. The moment he did, it would alert Mdm.
Pearson about his gambling habit, a secret he wouldn’t dare to expose.
“Linda, don’t get your feathers all ruffled,” Selena interjected leisurely, attempting to bring some
calm to the heated discussion. “Even police officers suspect everyone present when investigating a
case. It’s only reasonable to suspect your godson since our Be doesn’t know him. Do you have
any evidence to prove that Javier has never been to your jewelry room?”
Upon hearing Selena’s reasoning, Linda was taken aback. After all, she had indeed gone to the
room with Scarlett and Javier. Her main focus had been on Scarlett, intending to showcase her
prowess as Javier’s godmother.
As for Javier… she truly couldn’t recall what he had been doing at that time.
For a moment, Linda seemed lost in her thoughts, but she quickly snapped back as if struck by a
sudden realization, “Fine, you don’t believe me, let’s talk facts. At that time, only Scarlett was
carrying a bag, and she was wearing clothes that could easily hide things. But Javier was only
dressed in a simple basketball. outfit. How could he have possibly stolen my ne under
everyone’s watchful eyes?”
Upon hearing this, the Quirk family members paused to consider the scenario. Regardless of where
such a long string of pearls was hidden, it would likely cause a significant bulge, wouldn’t it?
After the ne went missing, everyone had been frantically searching for it. No one was blind. If
it truly was on Javier, it would have been quite easy to spot.
Curiosity inevitably stirred within the Quirks. Given that no one else had been involved at the scene,
they could only rely on Isabe to solve the case.
Fortunately, Isabe was quite curious as well.
She’s good at debating, that’s for sure. Let me investigate, how exactly did he manage to steal it?
Wait a minute!
The intensity of Isabe’s thoughts suddenly escted, startling the Quirk family members
present.
Holy smokes! Oh my God!

The Quirks were puzzled. What’s going on? Why is she yelling all of a sudden?
Everyone was sneaking nces at Isabe, who was intently staring at Linda’s ne, her pupils
seemingly trembling. Then her gaze shifted to Linda’s band, which was ustomed to fondling
pearls, and

All that could be heard was Isabe’s voice in her heart, shouting with the tone of someone who
had narrowly escaped disaster. We were so lucky. Thank goodness Linda was arrogant enough to
ignore the usual courtesy of shaking hands when she entered. Otherwise, we’d need to bleach our
hands….
The Quirks were bewildered by her thoughts.
Who would have thought, a pearl ne of such high value had once been in such a ce…..
The Quirks couldn’t help but feel an unsettling premonition at her thoughts.
There’s no way Javier could be gay, right? He’s so inscrutable.
The Quirks reacted with shock, their minds racing. Wait, what? All of them? Each of those pearls
was about the size of a coin, there are… about twenty or thirty in total! Impossible, this is absolutely
impossible!
Oh, you scared me there. I knew it couldn’t be possible, Isabe mused.
Everyone instantly let out a sigh of relief, nearly choking on their surprise. How could it be possible
for a man to go to such lengths just to steal a ne? They were certain that Isabe must have
been,
mistaken.
How could so much possibly fit? The remaining portion had been strapped to the body, much like
wearing a thong. That way, it couldn’t be seen… Ah, my mind, stop imagining! I didn’t mean to
picture that scene, I’m just an innocent bystander! Disperse, disperse!
Unfortunately for the Quirks, it was toote. Their minds had already imagined the scene, and the
more they didn’t want to imagine it, the more vivid the images became.
Ah, just fade away, fade away!
They recalled Linda’s previous mention that the pearl ne was still warm when it was found. It
likely carried more than just body heat….
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the pearl ne adorning Linda’s neck.
Is it just our imagination, or perhaps the effect of the lighting, but does the pearl seem to have a
slight yellowish sheen?
Upon seeing the sudden change in everyone’s expressions, bing a kaleidoscope of emotions
as if they were provoked, Linda immediately felt displeased. “What do you mean? Despite what I’ve
said, you still don’t trust Javier?” she demanded, her voice tinged with frustration.
Just as most parents would never believe that their own child could have any issues, Linda also
refused to ept the possibility.
The Quirks, however, looked at Linda with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
Linda grew even more puzzled, particrly when she noticed their unending nces at her
ne. Instinctively, she reached up to touch her ne, and she heard the collective gasp of
the crowd. What on earth is wrong with this family!
She actually touched it. Oh, my goodness!
The look in their eyes grew even more sympathetic, especially Selena, who had known Linda for

However, there was no way to warn her; all they could do was silently mourn for her in their hearts.
Reflecting back, the ne was originally bought by her ex–husband. He held the ownership

proposed a condition–the ne would be hers as long as she didn’t fight for custody of their

isn’t it…
The Quirk family hadn’t anticipated that there was such a hidden tale behind this ne.
Suddenly, their sympathy for Linda had diminished.
“Hey, what’s your deal? Why are you looking at me like that?” Linda finally had enough of their
unnerving
stares.
“There are countless ways to hide things,” said Selena nonchntly, “One cannot simply assume
that because he dresses lightly, he has nothing to conceal.”
Huber
Huh? Could it be that even Mdm. Selena thought of that method?
Selena was taken aback. She certainly hadn’t!
Quickly, David coughed. “Anyway, we weren’t there, so we couldn’t possibly judge.”
“You all!” Linda was furious.
“In my opinion, since they’ve already broken up, they’re essentially strangers now. There’s no need
to bother her anymore,” Christopher said impatiently.
“Hmph! She must have broken up because she felt guilty for stealing. But Javier was so smitten
with her. still wanting to be with her. He was so preupied with her that he lost his appetite and
couldn’t concentrate on anything else…” Linda argued, unwilling to see the truth.
Naturally, Javier would be consumed with worry, after all, his benefactor who had generously
helped clear his gambling debts had disappeared. Without her, how could he continue gambling
under his mother’s watchful eyes? Unfortunately, all this information is indirectly obtained from
others. If I had the chance to meet Javier, I would definitely investigate whether he still owed
gambling debts.
