This unexpected accusation from Isabella visibly incensed Linda, her expression clouding over instantly. It was no secret that Javier was cherished profoundly, treated almost like the crown jewel of her life.
“What are you babbling about? How could the thief possibly be my godson?” Linda snapped, her voice tinged with disbelief.
Isabella pouted. It was your godson’s doing!
The Quirks found the exchange somewhat amusing, yet Linda, misinterpreting their laughter as mockery, bristled with indignation. “Are you all suspecting my godson too?” she retorted sharply. “Is there anything I wouldn’t give to my godson that he’d need to resort to stealing?”
He’s spoiled rotten by you, but he wouldn’t dare to ask you. The moment he did, it would alert Mdm. Pearson about his gambling habit, a secret he wouldn’t dare to expose.
“Linda, don’t get your feathers all ruffled,” Selena interjected leisurely, attempting to bring some calm to the heated discussion. “Even police officers suspect everyone present when investigating a case. It’s only reasonable to suspect your godson since our Bella doesn’t know him. Do you have any evidence to prove that Javier has never been to your jewelry room?”
Upon hearing Selena’s reasoning, Linda was taken aback. After all, she had indeed gone to the room with Scarlett and Javier. Her main focus had been on Scarlett, intending to showcase her prowess as Javier’s godmother.
As for Javier… she truly couldn’t recall what he had been doing at that time.
For a moment, Linda seemed lost in her thoughts, but she quickly snapped back as if struck by a sudden realization, “Fine, you don’t believe me, let’s talk facts. At that time, only Scarlett was carrying a bag, and she was wearing clothes that could easily hide things. But Javier was only dressed in a simple basketball. outfit. How could he have possibly stolen my necklace under everyone’s watchful eyes?”
Upon hearing this, the Quirk family members paused to consider the scenario. Regardless of where such a long string of pearls was hidden, it would likely cause a significant bulge, wouldn’t it?
After the necklace went missing, everyone had been frantically searching for it. No one was blind. If it truly was on Javier, it would have been quite easy to spot.
Curiosity inevitably stirred within the Quirks. Given that no one else had been involved at the scene, they could only rely on Isabella to solve the case.
Fortunately, Isabella was quite curious as well.
She’s good at debating, that’s for sure. Let me investigate, how exactly did he manage to steal it? Wait a minute!
The intensity of Isabella’s thoughts suddenly escalated, startling the Quirk family members present.
Holy smokes! Oh my God!
The Quirks were puzzled. What’s going on? Why is she yelling all of a sudden?
Everyone was sneaking glances at Isabella, who was intently staring at Linda’s necklace, her pupils seemingly trembling. Then her gaze shifted to Linda’s band, which was accustomed to fondling pearls, and

All that could be heard was Isabella’s voice in her heart, shouting with the tone of someone who had narrowly escaped disaster. We were so lucky. Thank goodness Linda was arrogant enough to ignore the usual courtesy of shaking hands when she entered. Otherwise, we’d need to bleach our hands….
The Quirks were bewildered by her thoughts.
Who would have thought, a pearl necklace of such high value had once been in such a place…..
The Quirks couldn’t help but feel an unsettling premonition at her thoughts.
There’s no way Javier could be gay, right? He’s so inscrutable.
The Quirks reacted with shock, their minds racing. Wait, what? All of them? Each of those pearls was about the size of a coin, there are… about twenty or thirty in total! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
Oh, you scared me there. I knew it couldn’t be possible, Isabella mused.
Everyone instantly let out a sigh of relief, nearly choking on their surprise. How could it be possible for a man to go to such lengths just to steal a necklace? They were certain that Isabella must have been,
mistaken.
How could so much possibly fit? The remaining portion had been strapped to the body, much like wearing a thong. That way, it couldn’t be seen… Ah, my mind, stop imagining! I didn’t mean to picture that scene, I’m just an innocent bystander! Disperse, disperse!
Unfortunately for the Quirks, it was too late. Their minds had already imagined the scene, and the more they didn’t want to imagine it, the more vivid the images became.
Ah, just fade away, fade away!
They recalled Linda’s previous mention that the pearl necklace was still warm when it was found. It likely carried more than just body heat….
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the pearl necklace adorning Linda’s neck.
Is it just our imagination, or perhaps the effect of the lighting, but does the pearl seem to have a slight yellowish sheen?
Upon seeing the sudden change in everyone’s expressions, becoming a kaleidoscope of emotions as if they were provoked, Linda immediately felt displeased. “What do you mean? Despite what I’ve said, you still don’t trust Javier?” she demanded, her voice tinged with frustration.
Just as most parents would never believe that their own child could have any issues, Linda also refused to accept the possibility.
The Quirks, however, looked at Linda with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
Linda grew even more puzzled, particularly when she noticed their unending glances at her necklace. Instinctively, she reached up to touch her necklace, and she heard the collective gasp of the crowd. What on earth is wrong with this family!
She actually touched it. Oh, my goodness!
The look in their eyes grew even more sympathetic, especially Selena, who had known Linda for many
