Chapter 1773 Stolen
“All right, that’s enough. Stop scaring me.”
The lady with the red hair was frightened. She nervously retrieved a necklace from her bag and looked longingly at it before shoving it back into her bag. After that, she ran out to chase after the Lindberg family’s bodyguards.
Francesca followed her immediately. She took advantage of the crowd present and bumped into that red-haired lady.
“Ah,” yelped the lady as she was almost knocked to the floor.
With her head down low, Francesca murmured an apology before rushing off.
“Hurry. Things will be bad if they leave before you catch up to them,” said the red-haired lady’s friend.
The two of them ran out the doors and saw how the bodyguards were getting into their cars. The red-haired lady quickly opened her bag to retrieve the necklace, only to realize that it was gone. In its place was a stack of cash.
Her eyes bulged in surprise, and she stood there, stunned.
“What’s wrong?”
“T-The necklace… it’s gone.”
“What? Are you serious? Look through your bag again. Toss everything out.”
“It’s not here. It’s definitely gone. What do I do now? What do I do?” said the lady, who was on the verge of crying after searching her bag for a while.
“Okay, calm down. Let’s go back to our fitting room and check there. If we can’t find it, we’ll just pretend you never stole it.”
“Marrisa, you can’t tell anyone about this. If you do, they’ll kill me.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t. We’re besties, after all.”
Listening to the ladies’ conversation from the secluded corner she was hiding in, Francesca only sighed a breath of relief when she saw them heading back in.
Good, I don’t think I got them in any trouble.
She waited until everybody was gone before she fished the necklace out and examined it. The necklace had a cross as a pendant, and it looked familiar.
She was certain that it belonged to her.
She was about to put it on when she thought of something. Wait, won’t this reveal my identity? I better put it away for now.
Francesca didn’t think much of it and put it in her bag before she left Casino Inferno.
