Chapter 143 Another Recording
Milly looked at the two suitcases of jewelry and quickly realized who had given them to her. It had to be Jordan.
Before she came, Jordan had servants load several suitcases into the helicopter. She had thought they contained clothes or other personal items, so she hadn’t bothered to open them.
If she had known they were full of valuables, she would have hidden them in a cellar!
Stephanie stared at the two large suitcases of jewelry, trembling with anger. She bit her lip hard to stop herself from stomping her feet in frustration.
There were several pieces she had loved and begged Jordan to buy at auctions, but he always said he was too busy. She had naively believed him!
And now, these items were with Milly, that witch. How could she stand it?
Damn it, this was all Michelle’s fault!
Wasn’t she supposed to hide the bracelet in Joy’s backpack? How could it not be there?
Stephanie had gone through all this trouble, even involving the police, just to see Milly spend her time in jail!
Such a perfect plan, ruined.
As she seethed, unsure how to recover, Michelle finally showed up, “Wow, it’s quite lively here.
Stephanie’s eyes lit up, looking at her like a savior, not noticing the mockery in Michelle’s tone.
“Michelle, you’re finally here.”
Michelle had just finished shooting, still in costume and makeup, which made her look even more elegant and capable.
She ignored Stephanie’s pleading look and instead asked with feigned surprise, “What’s going on here? Why is everyone gathered?”
Stephanie took several deep breaths to calm herself and smiled at Michelle, “Well, my bracelet went missing, and everyone is helping me look for it. Have you seen it, Michelle?”
She
gave
Michelle a meaningful look, trying to find out where the bracelet was hidden.
Michelle pretended to think for a moment before responding, “Oh, you mean the Giacci ruby bracelet you were wearing?” Stephanie nodded, “Yes, that’s the one. I really like it and wear it often, but it suddenly went missing today. Have you seen it?”
She gave Michelle a meaningful look.
Michelle should understand, right?
As long as she said she saw it with Milly or saw Joy take it, the plan would still work. The thought made her heart race with excitement. She desperately wanted to see Milly groveling like a dog. crying. Being the

Stephanie couldn’t help but smile, her voice trembling with excitement, “Really? Where?”
Michelle pointed at Milly, “With her.”
Hearing this, Stephanie almost jumped for joy. She took several deep breaths to calm herself before turning to Milly, feigning innocence, ‘Oh? Milly, you have my bracelet? If you liked it, you could have just asked me. Taking it without telling me made me really worried.”
She quickly laid out her accusation, leaving no room for Milly to explain.
Sure enough, the surrounding people looked at Milly with disbelief.
“What? She really took it? She has so much jewelry, why would she need to steal?”
“Maybe it’s a compulsion. Some people steal even if they don’t need to.”
“Who knows if those two suitcases of jewelry are real or stolen? Even if they’re real, she might have stolen them.”
“You never really know someone, do you?”
“Good thing the police are here. They’ll handle this.
The two officers, having witnessed the whole scene, were skeptical. The girl in front of them exuded nobility and didn’t seem like a thief. But with a witness pointing her out, they had to follow protocol to verify the claim.
“Miss, did you really take this lady’s bracelet?”
Milly raised an eyebrow and calmly took out a ruby bracelet from her pocket, the one?”
“Is
Stephanie’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to take it, “Yes, that’s it, that’s my bracelet.”
She then looked at Milly with disbelief, though a hint of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes, “Milly, did you really take it? How could you ..
Milly noticed the emotion in Stephanie’s eyes and smiled, cutting off her self–righteous speech, “But didn’t you have Michelle give this to me as a gift?”
Stephanie laughed lightly, “Oh, Milly, stop joking. This bracelet was a gift from Jonathan. I’ve always cherished it. How could I possibly give it away?”
Milly raised an eyebrow and stared at her, “Really?”
For some reason, as soon as Stephanie met her gaze, her legs felt weak, and a sudden fear gripped her.
It felt like Milly was judging her.
But who was Milly to judge her?/
The situation had progressed this far. Just a little more push, and Milly would be done for. She couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
Stephanie pretended not to understand and nodded, “Of course it’s true.”

Far from being flustered, Milly turned to Michelle with a puzzled look, “Michelle, didn’t you say this. bracelet was a gift from Ms. Stephanie? Why is she now saying she doesn’t know about it?”
The sudden twist left everyone around them stunned.
What was going on?
Wasn’t the bracelet supposed to be missing? Ihy did it seem like the situation was taking a different turn?
Michelle smiled and blinked, “Maybe Ms. Stephanie forgot. Luckily, I recorded her when she gave it to me. If you don’t mind, we can all listen to it and figure this out.”
She started to unlock her phone, but a sharp voice interrupted, “Wait!”
Stephanie’s face paled, she looked at Michelle with her chest heaving, “No, there’s no need to play it…
