    In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO


    Chapter 698 Ganging Up On Me


    Skr would rather not discuss Tobias'' past affairs, so theirte-night conversation ended at that point.


    The next morning, Mavis flipped the hotel room upside down trying to find her diamond ring.


    Since Skr shared the room with her, she immediately turned to the former when she could not find it.


    “Have you seen my ring?”


    Skr shook her head in response, for even though she had seen the ridiculouslyrge diamond ring


    on Mavis'' ring finger the day before, she had not seen it since. “Did you leave it somewhere?”


    Mavis was so anxious that she did not care that the cameras were rolling and pointed at them. “Are you


    sure you didn''t take it without my permission for photos or whatever and forgot to return it to me?”


    “Why the heck would I do that? Do you think I can''t afford to buy one myself if I wanted one?” retorted


    Skr, annoyed that Mavis spoke to her as if she was a thief.


    Since Skr came from a needy family, Mavis presumed that the woman was no stranger to thievery.


    Still, it was the first time in a reality show that an artist suspected another of stealing her property.


    Just then, Macka decided to say something to defend Skr. “Do you have any idea how much


    Skr earns from endorsement fees alone? Why would she steal your ring?”


    In response, Mavis shot daggers at Macka before scoffing, “So, you''re ganging up on me now, huh?


    Is that what this is?”


    Sensing the tension in the room, Saorise intervened. “Talking isn''t going to make the ring appear, so


    why don''t we continue looking instead? The cameras were kept on the whole time, right?”


    “Skr turned them off before we went to bed. I wondered why she wanted them off so early; now I


    know,” sneered Mavis.


    Fed up with Mavis'' usation, Skr decided to hand the woman her suitcase. “Open them and see if


    you—”


    Before Skr could even finish her sentence, Mavis swiftly rummaged through the suitcase and found

    her ring in one of the pockets. In that instant, Skr, along with everyone else in the room, immediately


    dropped their jaws.


    Since Skr had no idea how the ring ended up in her suitcase, she was convinced that somebody


    had put it there on purpose.


    Mavis scrutinized the diamond ring after putting it back on her ring finger before turning to narrow her


    eyes at Skr. “I wanted to give you a chance to fess up since we''re on camera, but I guess you didn''t


    appreciate it.”


    Skr stared at Mavis in disbelief as she tried to recollect herself.


    The cameras even gave her a close-up of her facial expressions.


    When Saorise asked Skr what had happened, thetter replied, “I''m just as baffled as you are. The


    ring probably grew a pair of legs and sneaked into my suitcase.” Great. Because of this, my schedule''s


    going to be all over the ce. My goodness! Who would''ve thought I''d be used of thievery on a


    reality show!


    Skr insisted that she wanted to get the police involved and promised that she would willingly go to


    jail if found guilty.


    Hearing that, the director quickly pulled her aside. “Mdm. Skr, if we call the police, it''s going to affect


    our shooting schedule.”


    Kai only heard about the incident after he woke up. He did not know what Mavis was up to, but he was


    sure that Skr would never steal. Unless Skr wants to watch her career crash and burn, anybody


    in their right mind would know that she has no reason to do such a thing.
