Chapter 286
“You better pray she’s okay!” Nancy and Jake shouted simultaneously.
Nancy raised her hand and slapped Serena hard across the face. The force made one side of Serena’s face turn red and swollen.
Fearful of Nancy’s authority, Serena didn’t dare to retaliate. She covered her mouth and began to cry softly, which only made Nancy more impatient. It prompted her to kick Serena.
“You have the nerve to cry? I won’t spare you if anything happens to Yviel”
With that, Nancy and Jake hurriedly rushed toward the interrogation room. They anxiously opened the door, fearing Yvette might be mistreated inside.
When the door swung open, they saw two large men on their knees, looking beaten and battered.
Meanwhile, Yvette lounged in the chair with her long legs crossed casually, radiating a commanding
presence.
“Yvie, thank goodness you’re fine!” Nancy immediately rushed over and hugged her affectionately.
“Boss, I’m sorry I’m late. Jake also came over, looking like a puppy begging for attention.
Their previously arrogant demeanor had completely shifted, leaving Tom and Serena stunned. Was this really the same pair they had seen earlier?
Yvette hugged Nancy and then patted Jake on the head before saying resignedly, “Alright, you two, I’m fine.”
As if two useless men could have harmed her.
“Yvie, since you’re okay, we can start settling scores now.” Nancy’s gaze turned cold as she looked at Serena. “You’re the one who locked up Yvie, aren’t you?”
Serena’s face, still aching from the slap, was filled with resentment. However, she didn’t dare show it to Nancy. All her anger was redirected toward Yvette.
It was all Yvette’s fault for causing her face to be bruised.
“Ms. Smith, you can’t just bully people because of your status!” Serena cried out, holding her swollen face. “I had her arrested because she stole my sapphire bracelet!”
Nancy immediately let out a disdainful snort. “Nonsense, Yvie wouldn’t even look at your filthy belongings.
“It’s true! I’m not lying!” Serena knew that, at this point, her only chance of survival was to stick to her story about Yvette stealing her bracelet. Otherwise, she would be finished.
“Yvette stole my sapphire bracelet and hid it in her second pocket. Just check that pocket and you’ll see.”
“Alright, I’ll let you search.” Yvette took off her coat and handed it to Serena. “Go ahead and search.”
Hearing this, Serena felt a surge of triumph. Yvette was so stupid that she actually let her search. Now, Serena could pin the shame of theft on Yvette.
Eagerly, Serena reached into the pocket. To her delight, she felt something inside.
She triumphantly shouted and showed everyone, “I found it! She really stole my sapphire bracelet. Look-”
But her joy vanished when she saw what she pulled out of the pocket. Her face turned pale, and the rest of her words were caught in her throat.

“Why are you silent now?” Nancy taunted. “Didn’t you say that Wie stole your sapphire bracelet and hid it in that pocket? Then why is it a small iron chain instead?”
“I…” Serena was left speechless. She couldn’t understand why this was happening. She had clearly sneaked the bracelet into Yvette’s pocket.
“Finished searching my pocket? Now it’s time to search yours,” Yvette’s cold voice rang out calmly. “So that you won’t continue accusing me.”
