Chapter 306:
The necklace was fake? That seemed impossible! With the Williamson family’s wealth, why would they possess a fake necklace?
When Minna heard Belinda’s words, her temper ignited. She gave Belinda a cold smile. Concealing her irritation, she said, “Ms. Wright, it’s understandable that you’re upset over the accusations of theft. However, you can’t just claim my necklace is fake because you’re upset.”
Belinda, holding the necklace in her hand, showed Minna a specific feature. “This limited edition piece from Mlarema is designed with a unique lock mechanism. It should open with a special key pendant, transforming its appearance. Yet, your necklace’s lock won’t open. It seems you have a well-made counterfeit.”
The guests present exchanged confused glances, puzzled over who to believe.
Minna was adamant her necklace was genuine. She retorted sharply, “Ms. Wright, you’re out of line with these baseless claims! Mlarema never advertised any such feature when they launched this necklace.”
Belinda responded in a calm voice, “The special feature is disclosed only to those who purchase the necklace.”
Minna scoffed, “Stop fabricating stories, Ms. Wright! You’re embarrassing yourself.”
Other affluent guests whispered among themselves, “I’ve never heard of such a feature.”
“Neither have I. Belinda must be making this up.”

Disregarding their skepticism, Belinda took out her phone and quickly made a video call.
A few seconds later, the video call was connected.
Belinda’s phone screen showed a middle-aged man with a welcoming smile.
“Hello, baby!” the man greeted Belinda with enthusiasm.
Lucas’ expression darkened immediately when he heard the man’s affectionate address to Belinda.
“Steven,” Belinda replied to the man and then angled her phone towards Minna and the gathered crowd.
Caught off guard by the unfolding scene, Steven Rayne hesitated for a moment before inquiring, “Belinda, what’s happening here?”
Minna, catching a glimpse of the man on the screen, stood rooted to the spot, her face a picture of utter astonishment. Her expression was one of complete shock.
“Steven, could you take a look at this necklace?” Belinda requested.
Lucas watched Belinda intently, his face etched with a mix of emotions.
Belinda presented the necklace to the camera of her phone.
Steven needed only a brief look to make his judgment. “This necklace is fake. You can’t open the lock on it, right?”
“That’s right,” Belinda replied without hesitation.
“Then it’s certainly a fake. Belinda, where did you get this counterfeit? What happened to the real one I gave you? Why aren’t you wearing it?” Steven said.
Belinda smiled and responded, “It’s safe at home. I’ll explain everything to you later. I’ve got a situation to handle now. We’ll catch up soon.”
“Come on, Belinda, let’s talk a little more! It’s so rare for you to call me,” Steven said.
