Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 

With Nyla’s words, everyone began to grasp the absurdity of the situation. They turned to Erin and Jacqueline with expressions of displeasure. 

Jacqueline had lost her own necklace. What did that have to do with them? Why should their bags be searched because of her mistake? 

A necklace worth millions? They could easily afford several of those. There was no need to resort to theft. 

A cold glint appeared in Erin’s eyes as she noticed the unfriendly looks. from the crowd. She hadn’t anticipated Nyla being so sharp–tongued and difficult to handle. Soon enough, she would make her pay. 

Erin sighed and said helplessly, “I suggested this to clear everyone’s names and help Jacqueline find her necklace. It means a lot to her.” 

“What does that have to do with us? If it was so important, she should’ve kept it safe at home instead of wearing it out.” 

“Exactly! She lost it herself and now wants to search our bags? I don’t agree with that!” 

“Hah! If you care about the necklace so much, I’ll buy you a new one right now. Stop delaying the charity gala.” 

Seeing the crowd siding with Nyla, Jacqueline bit her lip, her eyes filled with disdain. If this continued, her plan to frame Nyla tonight would fail. She needed another approach. 

Taking a deep breath, Jacqueline addressed the group, “Everyone, 

please calm down. I wanted to give the person who took my necklace a chance to return it discreetly, but since they won’t, I have no choice but to expose them. 

“I had a tracker installed in the necklace to prevent it from getting lost.”

As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and began tapping on the screen, seemingly searching for the necklace’s location. Beside her, Tom frowned but remained silent. 

Soon, Jacqueline exclaimed, “Found it!” 

All eyes turned to her as she looked at Nyla, who stared back with cold eyes. “Ms. Jayston, I can’t believe you took my necklace!” 

The room fell silent once again. 

The Sumners were wealthy–it didn’t seem likely that Nyla would steal a necklace. 

However, when Erin suggested searching everyone’s bags earlier, Nyla had strongly opposed it. If she wasn’t guilty, why would she react so strongly? 

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Nyla’s bag, including Clark, who now looked suspicious. Earlier, he had tried to help Nyla with her bag, but she had refused. In hindsight, her reaction did seem odd. If the necklace was indeed in her bag, it would disgrace the Sumners. 

“Pft!” Nyla couldn’t help but laugh. She hadn’t expected Jacqueline to lie so brazenly about having a tracker. If she hadn’t known the truth, she might have been fooled. 

“Ms. Rainford, are you sure?” Nyla asked calmly. 

Seeing Nyla’s composed demeanor, Jacqueline said coldly, “The tracker shows the necklace is closest to you. It must be in your bag. Do you dare open it to check?” 

Nyla nodded. “Sure, but if the necklace isn’t in my bag, how do you plan to apologize? Accusing someone falsely is a crime.” 

Jacqueline smirked at Nyla’s confidence, thinking she wouldn’t be so brazen when she opened her bag later. “If it’s not there, I’ll get on my

knees and apologize.” 

Nyla raised an eyebrow. “Really?” 

“I stand by my word!” Jacqueline declared. 

“Alright, everyone here can be witnesses. Ms. Rainford said if the necklace isn’t in my bag, she’ll kneel and apologize,” Nyla repeated.
