Chapter 558 Police Arrived Everyone focused on the item. It was actually the diamond necklace! The crowd gasped in astonishment when the diamond necklace tumbled out.

"Isn't that the missing diamond necklace?" "It's the necklace! We found it!" "So, you're the ones who took it? I never would have guessed." The dazzling diamond necklace lay quietly among the scattered cosmetics. The assistant was in shock.

How could the necklace have ended up in the makeup bag? Who put it there? This is impossible! The assistant stared at Polly, utterly confused. "Ms. Tillery, what is going on?" Polly sprang up from the sofa. "How could this happen?" A staff member swiftly grabbed the necklace and rushed out of the room, shouting down the corridor, "Found it! Found it! It's in Polly's room!" The event manager, who had been checking an adjacent room, hurried over. "Really?" Seeing the necklace, the manager was nearly overwhelmed with relief.

The joy of recovering something lost was immense.

"You stole it!?" The assistant immediately protested. "We can't possibly have stolen it! We don't even know how the necklace ended up here." Polly frowned, equally puzzled. How could the diamond necklace have inexplicably appeared in the makeup bag? It's absurd.

This must be a setup! The event manager said, "It's fortunate the necklace has been found. We can't deal with anything else at this moment. The police are on their way. You'll need to speak with them!" In the background, Zelena and her assistant arrived, slightly behind schedule.

Upon seeing them, the manager approached and said, "The necklace has been located." Zelena's face brightened with relief. "Really? That's great news. I can't imagine what would have happened if it hadn't been found!" Given the necklace's high value, Zelena, as the one wearing it, would have faced severe consequences if it were lost.

The event manager, as an employee, wouldn't escape bleither.

Zelena's assistant looked at Polly with barely concealed sarcasm. "It's surprising how appearances can be deceiving. Who would have thought the thief would turn out to beyou? en "Ms. Blake went to the restroom earlier, so that would have been the perfect tto make a move." Polly almost laughed in frustration.

"Why would steal the necklace? And how would I have done it in the restroom? I'm an actress, not a master thief. The necklace was clearly around her neck. How could I have stolen it without anyone noticing?" Polly's logical explanation swayed sof the onlookers.

"Yes, if the necklace was around her neck, how could it have been stolen without anyone noticing? It's practically miraculous." Polly's assistant added, "Exactly.

And even if we were thieves, would we really be foolish enough to hide the necklace in our own makeup bag? thes there such a thing as a thief that stupid?" en Upon reflection, it did seem a bit strange.

Moreover, Polly was a well-known actress.

She could easily earn millions and wasn't exactly in dire need of money to risk everything for a necklace.

The event manager, deep in thought, realized that wrongly accusing a celebrity was a serious matter.

Seeing the situation turning against her, Zelena signaled her assistant The assistant noticed group of police officers approaching from a distance. Initially, only two officers were expected to respond. However, due to the report of a missing item worth millions, five officers had been dispatched instead.

The assistant said loudly, "The police are here. Just hand everything aver to them, there's no point in continuing this discussion." The manager snapped back to focus. "Yes, we need to get the event back on track. Otherwise, the fans outside will be left waiting." The police pushed through the crowd and asked, "What's the situation here?" The manager explained the sequence of events related to the necklace's recovery.

At this point, Polly and her assistant were the main suspects, as them necklace had been discovered in their room, hidden in a personal makeup bag.
