Mrs. Langley quickly said, "Miss Shaw, I was just wiping off the milk stains from your clothes."
After saying this, afraid that no one would believe her, Mrs. Langley turned out all her pockets.
"Miss Shaw, look, I really didn’t take anything!"
Mrs. Langley had been the housekeeper for Master Blackwood for decades and had seen plenty of valuable items, so naturally, she wouldn’t take a necklace.
Sebastian Blackwood understood this; he nodded and told Mrs. Langley to calm down first.
Mrs. Langley stood aside feeling wronged, and all eyes turned to Ivy Kensington.
Nina Shaw pitifully said, "Miss Kensington, could you please check your pockets?"
Ivy Kensington retorted, "Why should I?"
She wasn’t a criminal, so why should she be searched in front of everyone?
Nina Shaw faltered, and her eyes reddened even more.
"Miss Shaw, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m just... just anxious since my brother’s gift disappeared..."
"If you don’t want to, I... I won’t force you."
The way she acted made Ivy look unreasonable.
Sebastian Blackwood frowned deeply, "Ivy, cooperate a bit."
Ivy Kensington just found it laughable.
What was she supposed to cooperate with?
Cooperate with Nina Shaw’s performance?
Ivy Kensington didn’t want to continue wasting time there and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Nina Shaw started crying immediately, "Brother Sebastian, I’m so sad... This necklace is the last gift from you to me, and it’s my last bit of memory, sob sob..."
Sebastian Blackwood pinched his brow, and when he spoke again, his voice was thoroughly cold.
"Mrs. Langley, stop Ivy."
It was just a pocket check. If she didn’t take it, why was she in such a hurry to leave?
Ivy Kensington couldn’t help but mock, "Miss Shaw, I’m truly impressed by your sincerity right now. If this necklace is so important to you, how could you lose it in just a change of clothes?"
Nina Shaw’s face froze, "..."
"Found it! Miss Shaw, is this the necklace?"
At this moment, Mrs. Langley pulled out a diamond silver necklace from Ivy Kensington’s right pocket.
Nina Shaw immediately broke into tears of joy, "Yes, that’s it!"
Instantly, everyone looked at Ivy Kensington with odd expressions.
"She really did take it? Oh my god, that’s so bold!"
"Think about it, Ivy was just a maid before, she’s never seen such nice things!"
A few young maids whispered among themselves.
Sebastian Blackwood’s handsome face darkened, he licked his thin lips, and first instructed Mrs. Langley to take the surrounding staff away.
Upon hearing this, Nina Shaw felt somewhat unwilling.
She didn’t expect Brother Sebastian to actually care about Ivy’s reputation!
However, Ivy Kensington smiled and said, "Mrs. Langley, let everyone stay here."
She wanted to see how this necklace ended up in her pocket out of thin air.
Nina Shaw secretly laughed.
What a fool, Brother Sebastian didn’t want her to be embarrassed, yet she delivered herself; if that’s the case, don’t blame her!
Nina Shaw then wiped her tears, choking up, "Miss Kensington, if you liked that necklace, you could have told me, I could have had one made exactly the same for you. But why would you take it without a word?"
This caused the surrounding staff to feel sorry.
Miss Shaw was so pitiful, having her necklace stolen, yet still being so accommodating.
Ivy Kensington said softly, "The necklace just appeared in my pocket, why assume it was me who took it? Perhaps you placed it there yourself..."
Nina Shaw’s heart sank, she subconsciously glanced at Sebastian Blackwood, whose expression was extremely cold, and the next second, she heard him command, "Enough! Ivy, apologize to Nina."
