Annabelle asked, “How long are you going to let her look for it?”
Lily replied casually, “Let her look for it till late at night, just before I go to bed. Then, I’ll call the director and tell them that it’s fine if they can’t find the ring. I’ll just acknowledge my misfortunes.”
“Heh, you let her off easily,” Annabelle said. “If Sean saw her now, I’m afraid he’d vomit. Grace is not worthy of people like Sean. Only a socialite such as you can match him.”
Just as the red Maserati started its engine, several police cars suddenly drove toward them. In the blink of an eye, the Maserati was surrounded by the police.

Lily lowered the window and heard the policeman say, “We received a report that a ring worth hundreds of thousands was lost here. We’re going to lodge a report now to investigate if the ring was lost or stolen.”
“Lodge a report?” Lily and Annabelle were both stunned.
