Chapter 150: Chapter 150

The young women were still smug, "Mrs. Chambers, the necklace around Miss Sterling’s neck, is it yours?"

Mrs. Chambers glanced at the girls, then gave Skylar Hughes a cold smile.

Usually pretending to be sweet, but when it matters, she’s causing trouble for Paige Sterling.

Living off the Sterling Family yet bullying their daughter, where did she get the nerve?

No wonder Jared Sullivan kicked this stepdaughter out.

If it were her, she wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

Since Skylar Hughes isn’t afraid of disgrace, she’ll let her have it.

Mrs. Chambers pulled Paige Sterling aside, clearly not letting Paige handle this matter, fearing she might be too compassionate.

The young women’s eyes lit up simultaneously, looking around at everyone.

"You all heard it; Mrs. Chambers said this necklace is hers."

They eagerly looked at Mrs. Chambers, thinking that since they’d spoken so directly, Mrs. Chambers would seize the chance to lament against Paige Sterling, right?

Which wife wouldn’t hate the mistress?

But Mrs. Chambers showed no reaction, seemingly hesitant.

They suspected Mrs. Chambers was still somewhat wary of Paige Sterling, having won over her husband’s heart.

Ah, these elite wives with status; it turns out it’s not easy for them either, being bullied by mistresses yet still swallowing their pride for the sake of their dignity and position.

The young women suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Mrs. Chambers.

"Mrs. Chambers, could you tell us when your necklace ended up on Miss Sterling’s neck?"

They felt like the protagonist detectives in a crime drama, with all eyes and lights focused on them.

Finally, Mrs. Chambers spoke.

"Young lady, the necklace is mine, not yours; what does it matter how it ended up on someone else’s neck? Why do you seem more concerned than me?"

The young women immediately spoke with righteous indignation, "Mrs. Chambers, we just can’t stand some people being glamorous in public yet engaging in despicable acts privately."

As they spoke, they glanced at Paige Sterling with disdain in their eyes.

Paige Sterling looked speechless, while Mrs. Chambers let out a cold laugh.

"Who’s been engaging in despicable acts?"

The young women, "Of course, Miss Sterling! She stole your necklace and wore it proudly, without a shred of guilt. She’s so brazen now; will she steal your rightful place someday? Can you tolerate this, Mrs. Chambers?"

Everyone was stunned, as if hearing something unbelievable.

The young women automatically interpreted the shock as everyone being appalled at Paige Sterling’s alleged theft.

Such a beautiful star, who knew she was so shameless, being a mistress, let alone stealing from the wife herself.

Mrs. Chambers smirked, saying, "Young lady, I think you’re mistaken; who filled your head with all this nonsense?" For more chapters visıt 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵

Seeing Mrs. Chambers still not admitting, the young women persisted.

"Mrs. Chambers, we’re aware of your issues with Miss Sterling. Though bringing it up in public wounds you, we mean no harm, but we can’t condone such petty theft, right? Frankly, people like Miss Sterling, relying on looks to shamelessly wreck homes, are the most hateful."

Julian Hawthorne was just pulled into the lounge by Jared Sullivan; as they approached, they heard these words.

Both men’s faces immediately darkened.

Julian Hawthorne stepped beside Paige Sterling.

Even knowing Paige Sterling isn’t easily bullied in any situation, he felt she was terribly wronged, touching her head gently.

Paige Sterling tugged at him, "Don’t overthink it, I’m fine, just some young girls, no need to fuss over them."

In front of Paige Sterling, Julian Hawthorne didn’t act, but his gaze chilled as it passed over those girls.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Chambers’s expression was equally grim.

"I just want to know, who told you all of this?"

Mrs. Chambers glanced at Skylar Hughes, "Was it my dear niece?"

Skylar Hughes was startled; she wanted to speak but couldn’t find a gap; no one gave her a chance to open her mouth.

Even if she spoke, she couldn’t stop this farce.

The young women, hearing Mrs. Chambers’s words, thought admitting Skylar Hughes told them wasn’t a big deal, as it would show Mrs. Chambers that Skylar Hughes was equally upset with Paige Sterling’s actions, thus strengthening their bond.

"Mrs. Chambers, Skylar was concerned for you, which is why she shared with us."

Skylar Hughes wished she could instantly slap these idiots!

Mrs. Chambers chuckled, looking at Yvette Hughes, "You’ve truly raised a good daughter."

Acting like Paige Sterling aggrieved her daily, playing the victim, while Paige Sterling did nothing to her, yet her underhanded tactics disgusted everyone.

Yvette Hughes was awkward too, looking at Jared Sullivan, "I..."

She had no idea Skylar Hughes planned all this.

Now she ended up feeling like she was neither here nor there because of her daughter’s actions.

Jared Sullivan said nothing, his face still clouded over.

Since when did his daughter wearing a decent piece of jewelry raise suspicions of petty theft?

Speaking so boldly in front of everyone; one can imagine how Skylar Hughes slandered Paige Sterling behind their backs, perhaps worse than what he’d uncovered.

All these years, he believed he’d treated Skylar Hughes well enough, only to have nurtured an ungrateful wolf.

He merely watched coolly, waiting to see what these people would say next.

"Mrs. Chambers, everyone saw what happened today and can testify for you, so don’t worry. You should know tolerance only encourages the other party to become more aggressive; it won’t bring peace."

Mrs. Chambers responded with a chuckle, "Such a concerned young lady. Did your good friend Skylar Hughes forget to tell you about my relationship with Paige Sterling?"

The young women continued to put Skylar on the spot, "She certainly mentioned it; Skylar empathizes with you deeply, even told us whenever possible she’d definitely go after Paige Sterling for you!"

Of course, Skylar Hughes hadn’t said this; she might incite others against Paige Sterling, but never so bluntly.

Yet they believed showing Skylar’s hostility towards Paige Sterling would touch Mrs. Chambers.

Look, isn’t your niece good to you, stirring her friends against the mistress in your marriage?

Yet the sympathetic expression they expected from Mrs. Chambers didn’t appear; she merely kept a cold face, saying, "Stand up to what? Twisting facts, publicly slandering people at someone else’s banquet?"
