Chapter 1773


    “All right, that''s enough. Stop scaring me.”


    Thedy with the red hair was frightened. She nervously retrieved a ne from her bag and looked


    longingly at it before shoving it back into her bag. After that, she ran out to chase after the Lindberg

    family''s bodyguards.


    Francesca followed her immediately. She took advantage of the crowd present and bumped into that


    red-haireddy.


    “Ah,” yelped thedy as she was almost knocked to the floor.


    With her head down low, Francesca murmured an apology before rushing off.


    “Hurry. Things will be bad if they leave before you catch up to them,” said the red-haireddy’s friend.


    The two of them ran out the doors and saw how the bodyguards were getting into their cars. The red-


    haireddy quickly opened her bag to retrieve the ne, only to realize that it was gone. In its ce


    was a stack of cash.


    Her eyes bulged in surprise, and she


    stood there, stunned.


    “What''s wrong?”


    “T-The ne... it''s gone.”


    “What? Are you serious? Look through your bag again. Toss everything out.”


    “It’s not here. It''s definitely gone. What do I do now? What do I do?” said thedy, who was on the


    verge of crying after searching her bag for a while.


    “Okay, calm down. Let’s go back to our fitting room and check there. If we can''t find it, we''ll just pretend


    you never stole it.” “Marrisa, you can''t tell anyone about this. If you do, they''ll kill me.”


    “Don''t worry. I won''t. We''re besties, after all.”


    Listening to thedies'' conversation from the secluded corner she was hiding in, Francesca only sighed


    a breath of relief when she saw them heading back in.


    Good, I don''t think I got them in any trouble.


    She waited until everybody was gone before she fished the ne out and examined it. The


    ne had a cross as a pendant, and it looked familiar.


    She was certain that it belonged to her.


    She was about to put it on when she thought of something. Wait, won''t this reveal my identity? I better


    put it away for now.


    Francesca didn''t think much of it and put it in her bag before she left Casino Inferno.


    At the same time, the bodyguards who had left suddenly doubled back.


    Turned out, Danrique had dropped by, and his men were there to protect him. He strode over.


    Francesca''s heart skipped a beat. I''ll be in so much trouble if he recognizes me.


    She had no choice but to go back into the casino.


    Meanwhile, the red-haireddy and her friend were looking for Francesca.


    “It has to be thatdy with the long, ck hair. She bumped into me earlier, and I think she must have


    stolen the ne then.”


    “You''re right. It must be her.”


    “We have to find her as quickly as possible. If those men find out what happened before we do that,


    they''ll kill me.”


    “Calm down. I''ll search for thedy with you.”


    It was then that Francesa realized she had gotten herself into an “out of the frying pan and into the fire”


    kind of situation.


    She started to panic. D*mn it! what do I do now?


    It took her some time, but she eventually found a small warehouse behind her. She snuck in right away.


    The warehouse was filled with costumes and gadgets for the performance on stage. There were


    masks,ces, wings, and others.


    “That''s strange. Where is she? She should be around here somewhere, right?”


    “No, asking him about it would only expose you as the thief who stole the ne in the first ce.

    “Okay.”


    Seeing that her n worked,


    Francesca sped up and was going to leave via the front door when a familiar voice sounded behind


    her. “Stop.”


    It was Danrique.


    Francesca froze and frowned. Shit...
