Chapter 114: Have You Had Enough?

“I don’t have the patience to wait long. If you want to prove your innocence, show me the evidence first,” Shen Hanzhi said coldly, casting a sharp glance at Qiao Yufei, his tone full of impatience.

“...” Qiao Yufei’s face turned pale.

“Mr. Shen is absolutely right. Miss Qiao Yufei, if you want to prove you’re innocent, then start by letting us search you!” At that moment, Ron couldn’t help but chime in.

There was no other choice. Qiao Yufei’s earlier attitude had truly angered him. Now that someone finally stood up to her, he felt a surge of satisfaction and, naturally, wouldn’t miss the chance to kick her when she was down.

“You—” Qiao Yufei turned and glared fiercely at Ron.

Ron, unfazed, smiled at her, which only made her expression darker.

“Search all you want. There’s nothing on me anyway!” she snapped through clenched teeth.

A female staff member stepped forward and thoroughly frisked Qiao Yufei, confirming that aside from the new jewelry pieces from today, she carried nothing else.

“Is all of Miss Qiao’s luggage in the dressing room?” the person in charge asked next.

Though furious and feeling humiliated, Qiao Yufei nodded reluctantly, intimidated by Shen Hanzhi’s authority.

The group then proceeded toward Qiao Yufei’s dressing room.

The staff began searching all the bags and suitcases in the studio, not sparing even the makeup case.

After a long search, nothing suspicious was found.

Just when everyone started to believe Qiao Yufei was truly innocent, a staff member’s voice suddenly broke the silence in surprise from inside the dressing room.

“There’s a necklace.” The staff pulled out a silver diamond necklace from Qiao Yufei’s small bag where she kept her phone.

Everyone looked over, stunned.

“That necklace...” Ron stepped forward, took the necklace, and examined it carefully before turning to Qiao Yufei with a complicated expression.

The necklace was exactly the same as the one Qiao Yufei’s assistant had shown in a photo when claiming it was lost in front of the reporters.

At this moment, Qiao Yufei’s face had darkened beyond measure.

How could that necklace be in her possession?

The next second, she suddenly turned and glared fiercely at her assistant beside her.

“Impossible...” The assistant covered her mouth in shock.

She clearly remembered placing the necklace into that girl’s pocket—how did it end up here?

“Miss Qiao, you said the necklace was lost in Qiao Yucheng’s dressing room. How is it here?” Ron held up the necklace as he confronted her.

“I don’t know...” Qiao Yufei struggled to maintain composure, hiding the panic welling within.

“If you don’t know, then weren’t you just slandering Nan Xun and Ye Ning with a clear agenda?” Ron pressed on, displeased.

“Maybe whoever stole the necklace felt guilty and sent it back to me?” Qiao Yufei sneered sarcastically.

Her pale explanation was immediately cut down by Ron without mercy.

“Nonsense. After you said the necklace was lost, all the dressing room doors were sealed off. No one could get in.”

Just as Qiao Yufei was about to argue back, annoyed by his attitude, a voice tinged with helplessness and a hint of disdain suddenly rang out—Qiao Yucheng’s voice.

“Qiao Yufei, have you made enough of a scene?”

Qiao Yufei was stunned, turning to look at him in shock.
