Not daring to confront the Quirk family directly, Cecilia tried to salvage her situation by saying, “I never said Janice stole it. I just said my bracelet is missing.”
Christopher snorted and said, “So you mean you and Janice have identical bracelets, but yours is missing. Therefore, others took it upon themselves to suspect Janice and attempt to take it back for you?”
Cecilia was momentarily at a loss for words.
Rosalie chimed in, “Damaging someone else’s property to a certain extent can lead to imprisonment. The antique bracelet my sister–in–law gave Janice would start at least in the tens of millions according to market value, and it’s been broken by you.”
Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene was unsettled.
“What? Isn’t the most expensive bracelet in that series only worth a million?”
“Are you kidding? Why would Janice have a bracelet worth tens of millions? Who is she?”
Seeing how they were still trying to shift the blame, Carlos couldn’t help but say, “Bracelets of the same series look very similar, and the most expensive one is around one million, but the one Janice has is an antique and is one of a kind. It’s even missing some beads now. Should I call the police right now?”
Finally, someone couldn’t hold back
“Cecilia, that bracelet is yours, isn’t it?”
“Remember when you were in tears because you lost the bracelet your brother gave you? We mentioned seeing one just like it with Janice, and you didn’t deny it at all!”

Though they weren’t afraid of offending Janice, if this bracelet was indeed as expensive as it seemed, not many among them could afford to compensate for it. They certainly didn’t want to end up in the hands of the police.
This caused Cody and Cecilia to look visibly upset because they indeed did these things and had no way to
refute them.
Look, some things can’t withstand scrutiny, But Cecilia is also a master ut manipulating people’s hearts. Just because she didn’t encourage Dylan to steal the bracelet but intentionally played the victim, Dylan ended up giving a similar bracelet. Once Cecilia received it, she got ideas. After all, Janice had always worn it secretly, and no one had seen it. This made everyone think Cecilia wore it first and then it disappeared, and Janice wore it afterward. Adding to this was Cecilia’s affair with Cody, knowing that even if Cody didn’t understand her actions, he wouldn’t protect Janice or speak up. This way, Cecilia could use peer bullying to vent her frustrations and ruin Janice if she couldn’t get the
bracelet.
It seems she has operated like this many times before, and each time with success. Of course, Cody and Dylan are also

Finally, Cody couldn’t take it anymore. “Everyone shut up. It’s so noisy. Did Cecilia and I say anything? It’s your own assumption! What does it have to do with us?”
Cecilia also put on a pitiful look, even hiding behind Cody. “I don’t know. why things turned out like this. I really don’t know anything. The similarity of the bracelets is probably just a coincidence.”
