Nyla added the solution to the flask and began the reaction before sitting down to write her experiment records.She soon found herself distracted until her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. Seeing that it was Clark, she answered. "What's up?""Nyla, there's a charity gala tonight. Come with me," Clark said.Nyla hesitated for a moment before replying, "Alright. What should I wear?""No need to worry about that. I'll have my secretary prepare something for you," Clark assured her.Since Clark was taking care of it, Nyla didn't dwell on the matter. After confirming the time, she hung up.…Time flew by, and soon it was the end of the workday.Nyla finished filling out her experiment records, cleaned the equipment, put everything back in place, and locked the lab before leaving.…Nyla and Clark arrived at the gala around 7:00 p.m.After getting out of the car, Clark asked her to link arms with him and whispered, "You know most of the people here. I'll be discussing bus

Clark frowned, about to speak, when a loud female voice suddenly echoed in the banquet hall. "Oh no! My necklace is missing!"The voice was so piercing that it immediately drew everyone's attention.Staff members quickly approached her. Upon hearing about the missing necklace, they turned on the lights, illuminating the ballroom as bright as day."Ms. Rainford, don't worry. We'll have our staff search for it right away. If it's here, we should be able to find it quickly."Jacqueline looked anxious and said, "Why not check the security cameras? We should be able to find it quickly. I'm sure I lost it here."The staff member apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Rainford. To ensure the privacy and security of the charity gala, there are no cameras in the ballroom."Jacqueline was aware of this already. She was simply trying to convey her urgency. "Please help me find it. The necklace was a birthday gift from Tom, and it means a lot to me.""Of course, Ms. Rainford," the staff member assured

"Nyla, am I not giving you enough money? Why would you do something like this?!" Clark demanded.Nyla glanced at him, noting the unfamiliar fury in his eyes. She even suspected that if they weren't in a public setting, he might have grabbed her by the neck and demanded answers.She smiled. "Clark, you've really changed."He used to trust her completely, but now he seemed to think she was capable of stealing from someone else. It appeared that when a person's heart changed, they also became blind to reality.Taking the diamond necklace out of her bag, Nyla held it up for Jacqueline to see. "Ms. Rainford, take a good look. Is this your necklace? If I remember correctly, Ms. Hulle described your necklace's pendant as a swan encrusted with diamonds."Under the light, the necklace Nyla held was a delicate heart-shaped pink diamond, clearly different from Erin's description. This was the necklace Nyla had worn to the event.Jacqueline's eyes widened in disbelief. "Impossible! My neckla

Jacqueline screamed, clutching her dress in desperation, her eyes filled with terror. "No! Don't come any closer! I'll kneel and apologize!"She had initially thought Damon was merely trying to scare her, but now she saw that his men were actually advancing. He was mad. She would rather be dead than exposed in front of everyone. Kneeling and apologizing seemed preferable.Damon's expression remained icy as he sneered. "Alright, back off."The men in black retreated, leaving Jacqueline on the floor, desperately holding onto her dress. Her hair and clothes were in disarray, and she looked utterly disheveled.Trembling with fear, she crawled over and knelt before Nyla."Ms. Jayston, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have framed you. I was wrong. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me..." she pleaded.Nyla regarded her with indifference, feeling no sympathy. Had she not discovered the necklace in her bag, she might have been the one facing humiliation now."Ms. Rainford, there's no need to

A cold gleam flashed across Tom's eyes. Was Jacqueline being used by Erin? Although he didn't agree with Jacqueline's actions, she did them for his sake."Don't do this kind of thing again. Damon is ruthless and never shows mercy. Going against him will only lead to trouble," he warned her.Seeing Tom's stern expression, Jacqueline bit her lip and cautiously said, "Tom, Ms. Jayston wasn't hurt at all. If I just apologized, it would be over. But she refused to let me off. Could it be because of Ms. Weir?"Tom narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You mean she did it to get back at you for Valarie?""Aside from that, I can't think of any other reason why she would be so relentless," Jacqueline replied.Nyla and Valarie were good friends, and Valarie had misunderstood Tom's relationship with Jacqueline. If Nyla was teaching Jacqueline a lesson on Valarie's behalf, it would make sense.Seeing Tom's grim face and silence, Jacqueline didn't say anything more. She knew that speaking too m
