The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1651

“Master Murray must be very angry.

Who on earth did it? How dare they steal things at the banquet!”

“Exactly! It’s appalling!”

Glancing at the empty showcase, Melina turned to the crowd and announced, “In fact, Master Murray and I have identified the person who took the diamond.

Master Murray is willing to give this person another chance.

If she steps forward and returns the diamond, he won’t hold her accountable this time.

”

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed intently on Hannah.

Hannah met her gaze with a faint smile.

It was clear now that Melina was attempting to frame her.

Hannah thought to herself how Melina’s tactics were becoming increasingly stupid.

However, Hannah didn’t feel the need to engage in such a petty game.

She was above this baseless accusation.

Master Murray was a middle-aged woman, around 4@ years old.

She appeared well-maintained and pleasant.

Even when her diamond went missing, she showed no signs of irritation.

After Melina finished her statement, Master Murray began slowly, “Thank you for admiring the diamond I designed.

I think the person who took it probably didn’t mean any harm.

Perhaps she was just captivated by the design of the diamond.

However, I do hope it can be returned.

Sometimes to truly appreciate something, you don’t have to possess it.

”

Melina held Master Murray’s arm and said, “Madam, the thief isn’t likely to have a change of heart.

You’ve been gracious enough, but it seems she has no intention of returning the diamond.

I’m afraid she might disappoint you.

”

Observing the scene, Grace sighed to Hannah.

“Can you believe a diamond went missing at such a grand event?”

Hannah just smiled without respondin

g.

Nearby, Bryson stood with a wine glass in hand.

He seemed uninterested but still cast a stern glance at the showcase.

At that moment, Melina gestured to the side, and the waitress who had accidentally spilled wine on Hannah’s gown approached timidly.

“Don’t worry.

Just repeat what you told me earlier,” Melina instructed gently, seeming to comfort the waitress.

The waitress then slowly lifted her head, looked at Hannah, pointed at her while trembling, and said, “It’s her.

It’s that lady… I saw her take the diamond.

”

ALL eyes turned in the direction she indicated and focused on Hannah.

The crowd became very noisy.

“What? Did Miss Moore steal the diamond? Really?”

“No way! Hannah is from the White family.

Surely, they can afford a diamond?”

“Exactly.

The White family is wealthy.

She wouldn’t need to steal.

”

“Why not? Didn’t she divorce just to hook Mr.

Mitchell? It’s not surprising for someone like her, who’s after money, to steal a diamond.
