Tuya quickly pretended to bring Aotai to Zhou Si's side and called out, "President."

Hearing the sound, Zhou Si turned around and his gaze fell on Aotai.

He frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his voice, "Why are you with this person?"

If I remember correctly, he and his wife were disrespectful to you at the banquet?

Aotai never expected that Zhou Si would still remember that incident.

His heart tightened, and he quickly explained, "President Zhou, that was a misunderstanding."

My relationship with Shi An is not what it used to be.

Besides, that woman and I are about to get a divorce, so I hope you won't hold anything against what happened back then!

"Oh! Is that so?"

Zhou Si turned his gaze to Tuya and asked in a deliberately probing tone.

Tuya was about to answer.

Just then, a furious shout suddenly came from not far away, "You thief!"

The speaker's voice was so sharp that it seemed to cut through the banquet hall like a blade, instantly echoing throughout the entire space.

Everyone present was drawn to the sudden shout and turned their attention to the source of the sound.

Tuya and Zhou Si were no exception.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention focused on the key figure at the center of the storm.

That person was Bella.

At that moment, she was being held by the wrist by a noblewoman.

The wealthy woman's face was ashen, her eyes wide with anger, and she questioned sternly, "How dare you steal my diamond ring! It was a wedding anniversary gift from my husband. Are you tired of living?"

Bella's voice trembled slightly as she urgently denied it.

"I do not have."

As she spoke, she pulled her hand back, trying to withdraw it.

"not yet!"

The lady's voice rose a few decibels, sounding even more furious, "When I went to the restroom to look for it, you had already put it in your bag. I saw it with my own eyes, and you still dare to deny it?"

This scene happened so suddenly that the atmosphere in the banquet hall froze for a moment.

Aotai noticed this and his expression changed slightly.

Tuya's expression turned cold as she deliberately asked, "This person looks somewhat familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

She frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt, and continued, "So, you brought people along too?"

Aotai suddenly felt a surge of tension, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He hurriedly waved his hand, "No, Xiao An, let me explain. She must have secretly followed me here. I really don't know why she's here."

Zhou Si spoke calmly, "Shi An, this matter is not important right now."

The important thing is that today is the anniversary celebration; such an important day cannot be ruined by outsiders.

The old man's voice came from not far away, asking, "What happened over there?"

David and Isa were both standing nearby, their faces showing expressions of confusion.

Zhou Si turned slightly to the old man and said, "It seems to be that lady who lost her diamond ring, and the person next to her is suspected of being the thief."

"What? Today is the anniversary celebration, how could something like this happen?"

The old man immediately became agitated, his brows furrowed. "Go and see! We must handle this matter properly and not leave a bad impression on the guests!"

This concerns the reputation of our family!

Zhou Si nodded and immediately led his men over.

When they arrived, the lady was still agitated and shouting loudly.

Zhou Si stepped forward and politely asked, "Mrs. Lilith, what happened?"

Upon hearing Zhou Si's voice, Mrs. Lilith immediately turned around, her face showing some apology, and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to cause this trouble at the banquet."

But tonight at this banquet, a thief appeared and tried to take my diamond ring.

This was a special gift from my husband for our wedding anniversary this year. It's not only meaningful, but it's also worth over 30 million!

I usually don't wear it, but I only wore it tonight because it was such an important occasion.

I just put the diamond ring on the sink while washing my hands, and little did I know that the thief was going to hide it in my bag.

I saw it with my own eyes, but she still refuses to admit it.

Mrs. Lilith's tone was full of indignation.

"is it?"

Zhou Si immediately looked at Bella and asked with a hint of doubt and scrutiny, "Who are you? I don't remember Lantes sending you an invitation."

Aotai and Tuya stood to the side.

Aotai's heart sank. He sensed that things might get complicated and was about to speak up to stop him.

But Bella had already taken his arm and replied, "My husband brought me in; I didn't steal the diamond ring."

Lilith stood with her hands on her hips, looking extremely dissatisfied.

She glared at Bella and questioned her sharply, "You still dare to argue? Do you think I've slandered you?"

Aotai didn't look well.

But he was also keenly aware that Lady Lilith's identity was clearly extraordinary.

He and Bella were husband and wife, their relationship was so close that they were bound together by fate, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

Therefore, he naturally dared not offend anyone, nor could he afford to offend anyone.

I finally made it to this banquet today, and since things aren't even settled yet, I can't afford to mess it up.

In his anxiety, he quickly said, "Is there some misunderstanding? She's not that kind of person."

Perhaps they just happened to see the diamond ring and wanted to temporarily put it away.

Lady Lilith scoffed and coldly retorted, "Do you think people are fools?"

If you find something, shouldn't you return it to the owner or notify the staff immediately?

Instead, she put it in her own bag, which clearly shows she had ulterior motives and wanted to keep the diamond ring for herself and take it home.

Many guests nearby had already been drawn over by the commotion.

Hearing this, everyone agreed, commenting, "If you didn't intend to keep it for yourself, why not take the found item and find the owner?"

"Whose daughter is this? How can she be so ill-mannered and unfit for public display?"

"Even a three-year-old knows to return found items, let alone something so valuable. Who would believe she didn't have that thought?"

"Exactly! That's a diamond ring worth over thirty million! She probably's never even seen anything like it before!"

Bella felt flustered by what she was being told.

She was indeed quite tempted when she saw the diamond ring.

Such a large blue diamond, just one look is enough to tell that its value must be considerable.

At that moment, she couldn't help but try it on, secretly delighted at her good fortune in finding such a treasure.

But to everyone's surprise, they were caught red-handed at the crucial moment.

At this moment, she naturally couldn't admit her greed and hurriedly tried to defend herself, "I really didn't want to take it, you can't make false accusations."

I found your diamond ring, you should be thanking me!

Why are you turning around and biting me?!
