After my mother finished speaking and called the police, Bian Jiahui's face turned deathly pale.

Her lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Bian Jiahui is still young and doesn't have a strong mental fortitude; a few words from her mother can throw her into a panic.

Moreover, if the police really come, it would be easy for them to find clues.

But I never expected that my dad would suddenly speak up at this crucial moment.

"Enough!" he snapped sternly. "Do you really have to make things so difficult for a child? You're just trying to scare Jia Hui by saying you're calling the police, making her think she's a thief?"

"If we really choose to call the police, and they come and find out that Wanwan was just careless and accidentally left the things somewhere, how much negative impact will such a blunder have on the company? You know that the company is preparing for its IPO, how can you not consider the big picture at all?"

My dad has been in the business world for a long time. Although he looks strict, he has always been gentle with my mom.

This was the first time he had ever lost his temper like this; my mother and I were both quite startled.

"If something is lost, shouldn't it be found?" My mother pursed her lips, clearly uncomfortable with my father's sudden tone, but out of respect for him, she didn't retaliate, only asking in a low voice.

Seeing her aggrieved look, I didn't want this to affect my parents' relationship, so I quickly grabbed her hand and then raised it firmly to my dad, saying, "But Dad, I'm really sure my necklace is gone, and I'm sure I didn't lose it."

My father looked at me with a deep gaze, his expression becoming increasingly stern. He said that the company was about to go public and couldn't afford to have even the slightest negative news. He also told me earnestly that he didn't expect me to make any great contributions, but that I should learn from Bian Jiahui to be more mature and sensible, and not always spend money to make friends.

My father's words made my heart clench. I wanted to explain but didn't know how to start. It was also my fault for doing too many willful things in the past, which is why I was so distrusted.

"Dad..." I was about to say that I would study hard in the future and would no longer be so desperate for Song Chenhao.

Before he could finish speaking, he stood up, his tone filled with disappointment, "You don't need to say anything more. If you continue to be disobedient and willful, don't blame Dad for only giving you the same allowance as Jia Hui."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.

As soon as he left, I noticed that my mother's expression wasn't good. She forced a smile and told me to eat slowly, saying that she wanted to go upstairs to rest for a while, which made me lose my appetite.

The intention was clearly to take this opportunity to expose Bian Jiahui's true colors, and Bian Jiahui's reaction just now was quite obvious; she was definitely hiding something about the necklace.

Moreover, I have confirmed several times that my necklace disappeared suddenly, not because I was careless and lost it.

Even if the police are called, it will only confirm that Bian Jiahui is a thief, and a statement will be issued. It will not affect my family's reputation or my company at all.

Why is my dad still so resistant?

I felt something was off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I looked up at Bian Jiahui again; she was being scolded by Li Yaqin, her eyes red and her head slightly bowed, looking truly pitiful.

It's possible that my dad was deceived by Bian Jiahui's outward appearance, but I am his biological daughter. Doesn't that make me worthy of his unconditional trust?

I just couldn't figure it out, and I lost my appetite, so I simply put down my chopsticks and went upstairs.

For the next period of time, neither Bian Jiahui nor Song Chenhao bothered me anymore.

Although we were in the same class, the three of us tacitly avoided each other and didn't speak.

It wasn't until a few days later, after I had finished eating and was returning to the classroom from the cafeteria, that I realized what had happened.

As soon as I entered, I saw a group of people gathered around my desk, whispering among themselves and occasionally letting out soft snickers.

I was startled, with a bad feeling. I pushed past those people and went inside, only to see that my backpack had been turned out and thrown on the ground, with all the books and things inside scattered all over the place.

My face immediately turned cold. "Who did this?"

After I asked the question in a cold voice, not only did no one answer, but these people also showed me disdainful expressions.

Xiang Jiao scoffed, "Such excellent acting! What a Jiang family heiress, all that? Turns out she's just a prostitute!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, her henchmen laughed along, their expressions arrogant and their tone sarcastic, "That's right, she put on such a good persona, but she's just a prostitute who sleeps with men everywhere and wants to be famous."

"Look at her expression now, she looks like a high and mighty flower. Now that we know her true colors, her pretentious act is disgusting."

I felt completely confused. What did Xiang Jiao and the others mean?

After a period of quiet, are they stirring up trouble again?

I frowned and bent down to pick up the things first, but I never expected that as soon as I picked up my schoolbag...

With a clatter, all the books inside fell out, and along with them, a pair of black stockings and a condom that had been opened but was mostly empty—
