My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 70

Sophia knew that they must have set things up before coming over to cause trouble.

Sophia then stood up straight before she spoke up in a strong-willed manner. “Since you believe that Nate is the one who has stolen your necklace, go on and search the room then! A straight foot has no fear of a crooked shoe. I believe Nate would never steal your necklace!”

Kayla grinned as if her wicked plan had prevailed; she had been waiting for her to say so.

Since Sophia had addressed the matter, Kayla immediately gave orders to the crowd on the scene. “Everyone, listen up. Since Sophia has said it, then I shall feel free to do so!”

Even though it was against the rules to search the personal belongings of others, the necklace Kayla had lost was worth over one million. Thus, they were able to make an exception this time; even Commander Ford and the other drilling instructor had agreed to it.

Kayla quickly walked over to grab Nathan’s belongings.

He had only brought a few things when he entered the barracks; the only things he had with him was a little backpack which had two sets of apparels in it. He did not bring a lot of toys except for a little frog plushie that he had won at the funfair.

Kayla was being ignorant as she shook everything out of Nathan’s backpack. However, she did not find her necklace. She then searched all over his bed, but her necklace that was said to be worth one million was still nowhere to be seen.

Kayla then said, “He must’ve hidden it on him!”

She sure was courageous when she immediately took a step forward to search all over Nathan’s body. She directly reached her hands into Nathan’s pockets that were situated by the sides of his pants.

Nathan had a sullen look on his face, and he was feeling immensely displeased. Nonetheless, he allowed her to search him.

After searching for quite some time, Kayla was only able to find a little frog.

Kayla ragingly tossed the little frog away as it made a squeaking sound when it hit the floor. “I don’t believe it. My necklace must be here somewhere!”

Sophia put on a smirk before she said, “You’ve thought too much. Nate is just a child—a mere boy. He doesn’t like things that sparkle, so why would he ever take your necklace?” Meanwhile, Sophia bent over to pick up Nathan’s little frog toy. She then patted off the dust before returning it to him.

Nathan seemed really unhappy about it when he held his little frog toy in his hands.

Xyla, who was silent at first, came out of nowhere to stop Kayla. “Sophia is right. Maybe we’ve really mistaken him for stealing your necklace. Why would a child steal it anyway? He doesn’t even know what a necklace is.”

Xyla seemed to have reminded Kayla of something with her words. Kayla instantly shifted her gaze toward Sophia and said, “A child doesn’t know how to steal, but what about an adult who knows all about the goods?”

Sophia looked at Kayla while keeping her cool. She was fearless as she said, “Are you saying that I’ve instructed Nate to steal your necklace? I’m sorry—no matter how poor I am, I will never yearn for anything that doesn’t belong to me!”

It was as if Kayla was absolutely sure that Sophia was the thief who had stolen her necklace. She then said confidently, “You never know for sure. What if someone had really overestimated themselves and yearned for something that they didn’t deserve?”

Sophia had nothing on her conscience as she took a step aside to reveal her bed. “Since you think that I’ve stolen your necklace, I’ll let you search my bed!”

Kayla really did start searching around her bed.

Sophia added a sentence deliberately. “I shall warn you beforehand—if you’re unable to find your necklace here, you must give Nate and I an explanation!”

She seemed really confident and was pretty sure that she did not have any of Kayla’s belongings with her.

Kayla snorted before she turned around and began searching through Sophia’s belongings. At a corner where no one was able to notice her, Kayla had a mysterious grin on her face.

She then grabbed Sophia’s backpack and gave it a shake, shaking out all of the contents in her bag. There were not many things inside of it, for Sophia only had two sets of apparels and a comb that she normally used. Everything was scattered all over the place.

All of a sudden, a glistening light showed up in sight. A diamond necklace dropped out from one of Sophia’s shirts, and everyone in the room immediately caught sight of it.
