Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 835: 835. Can’t even say a name without hesitation.

Sophia Green pursed her lips, hesitating slightly before nodding.

"Then say it, whose is this? The shelf’s position is so secluded, who would go there for no reason?"

That meant to tell everyone that the owner of the necklace was the real culprit who smashed the inkstone.

In fact, that was the case. The shelf’s position was indeed very secluded, and one couldn’t touch the shelf unless they purposely went over there.

And normally, who would go to the gift shelf area for no reason? Were they playing hide and seek?

So, although Thompson’s words seemed to be pointed, they were also true.

"Mother, I..."

Sophia Green bit her lower lip, her face a picture of difficulty, and when Master Clark saw this pretentious expression, he endured it for a while but finally couldn’t help but speak up:

"Alright, if you know whose necklace it is, just say it quickly; why are you hemming and hawing over just one name?"

This family had never made anyone comfortable when they came over.

The Old Master’s impatience was clear enough, and his voice sank, silencing everyone present.

Sophia Green didn’t expect Master Clark to speak so impolitely, calling her "hemming and hawing," and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Just as she was about to speak, someone else beat her to it, saying, "This necklace is mine."

The speaker was Elly Campbell.

Compared to Sophia Green’s tentative and troubled demeanor, Elly Campbell appeared straightforward and open.

Seeing her flick back a stray lock of hair and walk toward Adrian Green, she took back the necklace in his palm and put it around her own neck, saying:

"I really don’t know how this necklace ended up over there all of a sudden."

As a "suspect," Elly Campbell appeared exceptionally open, with an attitude that suggested she had nothing to do with the incident.

Sophia Green watched Elly Campbell still maintaining her calm composure at this time and felt a surge of resentment.

She no longer acted as cautiously or pretended to be in a difficult position but directly said:

"The necklace hangs around your neck, why would it appear there? Do we need to spell it out even more clearly?"

As Sophia spoke, she glanced over at Adam Jones next to Elly Campbell, trying to see a trace of blame toward Elly on his face, but he looked, just like Elly, completely unaffected.

Seeing Elly struggling with the clasp of the necklace, he reached over, "Let me help you put it on."

"Okay."

Elly let go, handing the necklace to Adam Jones.

Adam Jones carefully pushed her long hair aside and methodically helped her put on the necklace.

Throughout the process, both were calm and composed. They didn’t even give Sophia half a glance in response to her accusation.

Sophia Green bit her lower lip, feeling indignation. Seeing that the Jones couple didn’t bother with her, all she could do was grit her teeth and linger there, glaring resentfully at Elly Campbell.

After Adam Jones had finished helping Elly Campbell with the necklace, she finally turned her attention to Sophia and smiled, saying:

"As I said, I don’t know why the necklace was there. What do you want me to say? If you insist I say something, then it’s that someone picked up my necklace and threw it over there."

She spread her hands helplessly, clearly not taking the incident too seriously.

Sophia Green was irked by Elly’s words, her gaze flickered, and then, she scoffed:

"Mrs. Jones, do you always talk so irresponsibly? Who would pick up your necklace and instead of returning it to you, throw it in that place? Don’t you think that reasoning is a bit far-fetched?"
