Chapter 309

Chapter 309:
Besides, since Macie could sneak the necklace into my bag, that must mean she had already dealt with the surveillance footage beforehand.
If anyone checked the footage, she would be the first one to be exposed.”
Darren nodded upon hearing that.
“The thought of Macie and Minna facing the consequences of their actions is truly satisfying,” Bethany said with a smile.
Belinda and Darren also smiled.
When Belinda returned home, she changed out of her gown, washed off her makeup, and took a shower.
