The venue suddenly fell silent.
All eyes turned curiously toward the two people present.
Both of them, known by everyone.
One was a top-tier diva, loftily sitting at the pinnacle of stardom.
The other was a young actress who had just started her career but was rapidly gaining popularity. Most importantly, she was the mistress of the Shengyuan Group.
There were countless rumors swirling around these two in the industry.
Naturally, they all had to do with a man – Shengyuan Group’s president, Gu Qichen.
There were previously rumors that Gu Qichen was Shen Manbing’s secret boyfriend. It was even suggested that Shen Manbing had herself proposed to him. But then it was suddenly revealed that Gu Qichen was married, and his wife was none other than the current Miss Xia.
Between them, it was known in the circle that they were like oil and water. If it was said that the Heart of the Kingdom had been stolen, the two of them would definitely not conspire together.
But if it were said that it was one of them, it would be absolutely inconceivable.
Shen Manbing was an international diva, always prideful. How could it be possible for her to stoop to petty thievery?
And Miss Xia, coming from a prestigious family and being the mistress of the Shengyuan Group, literally sitting on a gold mine — there was no reason for her to risk ruin to steal a gem.
When Shen Manbing and Xia Yangyang heard the security manager outright name them, they were stunned.
Xia Yangyang had an ominous premonition in her heart, she didn’t know why.
Shen Manbing, known for her fiery temper, immediately walked out of the crowd after her name was mentioned, pointing at the security manager and yelled: “Who the hell do you think you are, daring to slander me? Call your supervisor out here now!”
Those present were well aware of Shen Manbing’s temper.
The compere apologizing at the side: “Miss Shen, you are our invited guest, we are not suspecting you. But now that the gem is missing, we naturally need to investigate. Miss Shen, could you please explain why you were on the second floor? The entrance to the second floor clearly displays a ‘No Entry’ sign.”
Shen Manbing turned around and snorted: “I followed Miss Xia up.”
Within an instant, with one sentence, Shen Manbing had redirected all the accusations onto Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang’s heart slowly sank.
The uneasy feeling was intensifying.
The compere also approached her: “Miss Xia, why were you on the second floor just now?”
Xia Yangyang answered truthfully: “I was feeling tired, and was looking for a resting room.”
At the time, Xia Yangyang hadn’t seen a ‘No Entry’ sign, which made her feel even more suspicious.
For a moment, the host didn’t know what to do.
After all, both women were not to be trifled with.
The security manager said: “I apologize, but to prove your innocence, please cooperate with us in a search.”
Calling it a “search” was essentially a euphemism for a body search.
Shen Manbing was the first to blow up: “Who gave you such authority? I don’t want to talk to you, but don’t think you can touch me, otherwise I will have my lawyers sue your auction house out of business.”
Shen Manbing’s non-cooperation made it difficult for the staff. The host was constantly explaining and persuading to the side.
The crowd was already abuzz.
“Why is the diva so upset? Could it be her?”
“You don’t know Shen Manbing’s temper, a high-and-mighty diva, even if she didn’t take it, being searched in public would be a great humiliation.”
Everyone seemed to be watching a drama unfold.
In the end, Shen Manbing lost it. She opened her handbag and dumped everything out: “Look! Open your damn eyes and have a good look. Do you see any damn Ruby in there?”
