Reborn heiress on a scumbag hunt novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Macy stepped up to Louisa. “Louisa, have you seen Licia’s necklace?”

Louisa, buried in her book, shook her head without looking up.

Macy narrowed her eyes. “That’s impossible. It’s just you two in the room. You must be the one who took it.”

All eyes immediately turned to Louisa.

Hannah’s heart raced with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. She secretly hoped Felicia would ruin Louisa’s pretty face.

But what happened next let everyone down.

Louisa caught Felicia’s wrist and shoved her backward.

Felicia hit the ground with a thud, yelping in pain. Her eyes were bloodshot with fury. “Louisa!

Louisa’s face was icy, her expression distant as she looked down at Felicia. “Don’t blame other people just because you lost control.”
