Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1256

Everyone swung their gazes to the stage in unison. Unsurprisingly, Shirley held the microphone, saying urgently, “The staff have checked the surveillance footage, and no one left all this time. Therefore, we need to seal off the scene temporarily. Only after a thorough investigation can everyone be allowed to leave.”

No sooner had the words left her lips than several security officers appeared at the entrance, barring any exit and entry.

Faced with such an unexpected incident, Bethany wore a grim expression. “What bangle? And who lost it?”

Shirley had a look of anxiety etched on her face. A woman in full makeup cautiously stepped forward. “It's me. The bangle is worth millions and is a family heirloom, so I can't afford to lose it.”

Recognizing her, Josie couldn't help but snort. “Ava?”

The woman wearing an aggrieved expression was the same person who acted high and mighty last time. Her change in demeanor was swift. With her eyes teary right then, she indeed looked pitiful.

Even more amusing was that the ex-mistress and current mistress were meeting face to face.

Vivian was bewildered. “Who is that?”

“Just watch the show as a joke.”

Josie attempted to locate Laura, suspecting that the incident likely targeted her.

Meanwhile, the crowd started whispering among themselves. “Everyone here has a net worth of millions. Who would steal your bangle?”

“Exactly. That would be beyond disrespectful.”

Ava was on the verge of tears. “I'm truly sorry, but the bangle means a lot to me.”

“The price isn't the issue here. The point is, it's a family heirloom. I'm sure none of us would want to bear the blame. Let's have a brief search. It would be better for everyone,” Shirley stated emphatically.

Amidst a wave of complaints, everyone still cooperated by heading over to the security to be searched.

Vivian was naturally displeased. “As soon as I arrived, I'm being accused like this. I don't like it.”

She and Josie were at the end of the line. The latter consoled, “I'm sorry for the bad experience.”
