?<strong>Chapter 304:</strong>


    “No problem,” Belinda said, handing her handbag to the female officer.


    The female officer opened the bag. It was a small bag with nopartments, and the contents of the bag were quite visible to everyone present now.


    Everyone could see there was no ne in it. Minna’s smile vanished from her face in an instant. This was impossible!


    Macie’s eyes also widened in shock. This didn’t make any sense. She had personally put the ne in Belinda’s bag. How could it not be there?


    At that moment, Belinda said, “Officer, could you please apany me to the restroom for a body search?”


    “Sure,” the female officer replied.


    Then, she and Belinda went to the restroom.


    Five minutester, they returned.


    “Ms. Wright doesn’t have the ne on her,” the female officer said to her colleague.


    Minna and Macie were taken aback by this. This was unbelievable! How could the ne have just vanished into thin air?


    Just then, the male officer turned to Minna and said, “We have thoroughly searched Ms. Wright and her bag but have found no ne. Could it have gone missing before you went to the restroom?”


    “That’s not possible. I put the ne in my bag before going to the restroom!” Minna said.


    The male officer looked around and noticed several surveince cameras.


    “I see you have cameras here. We could check the surveince footage,” the male officer suggested.


    Minna hesitated for a moment before saying, “Well… that’s not possible. The cameras are usually on, but with so many distinguished guests today, we had to turn them off to protect their privacy.”


    The male officer frowned, clearly at a loss as to what to do now.


    “Something just urred to me, officer,” Belinda suddenly said.


    The male officer turned to her with a curious gaze.


    Belinda smiled and continued, “It wasn’t just Ms. Williamson and I who went to the restroom at that time, right?”


    The guests soon caught on to what she was hinting at, and murmurs spread throughout the room.


    “That’s right! Macie also went into the restroom with Minna.”


    “If Belinda is a suspect, doesn’t that make Macie one too?”


    Minna’s face darkened instantly, and she said, “That’s impossible! Macie and I were together the whole time. She couldn’t have taken my ne.”


    “Oh really? Were you both in the same stall in the restroom as well?” Belinda asked, chuckling.


    Minna opened her mouth but quickly shut it as she had nothing to say.


    “Ms. Wright has a point. Since I went to the restroom at that time, I’m also a suspect. I have no objection to being searched by the female officer,” Macie said calmly.
