No one expected things to escalate. The screaming of Jiang Ruoyin and the whispering from the crowd made Wen Xinya lose her stand.

Humiliation like this reminded her of her previous life, and the heavy burden of the past slowly crushed her, putting pressure on her.

Her mind was in a mess. What was going on? Why was Jiang Ruoyin’s watch in her bag?

This sentence kept repeating in her head like a nightmare.

Who put Jiang Ruoyin’s watch into her purse?

Ning Shuqian or Xia Ruya?

Suddenly, she shivered and woke up from the nightmare in a cold sweat. Gradually, she regained her senses and gazed at the watch in Jiang Ruoyin’s hand.

After having a closer look at the watch, her every doubt was cleared.

She grabbed the watch from Jiang Ruoyin. “Miss Jiang, are you sure this watch is yours?”

The crowd was buzzing with whispering. People cast contemptuous looks at Wen Xinya. She was caught stealing in public, yet she refused to admit her mistake. Such despicable conduct was consistent with her “grew up in the streets” background though.

Jiang Ruoyin didn’t expect Wen Xinya to respond like this after she had found the watch in her purse. Jiang Ruoyin was exasperated. “Shame on you, Wen Xinya! This obviously is my watch.” she shrieked.

Wen Xinya paid no attention to the crowd’s mockery. Her young and pretty face was pale, but her elegance and confidence never faded away.

Wen Haowen was infuriated, and the veins in his forehead twisted like snakes. “Wen Xinya, you rascal! Do you think this is not humiliating enough? Apologize to Miss Jiang right now, or I won’t forgive you!”

Ning Shuqian echoed. “Xinya, stop this nonsense and apologize to Miss Jiang. The Wen Family can’t afford to damage its reputation like that…”

Wen Xinya interrupted Ning Shuqian. “Ruya gave me this watch as a gift. I didn’t know that you had the exact same watch as her!” said Wen Xinya coldly.

Vacheron Constantin was Xia Ruya’s favorite watch brand from Switzerland. Grandpa once gave Xia Ruya a Tourbillon in her previous life. Xia Ruya liked it a lot because the blue diamond on the watch was a good match with her Star of the Sea. She wore that watch to many banquets, so Wen Xinya was positive that the watch in her purse belonged to Xia Ruya. As for Jiang Ruoyin’s watch, you would have to ask Xia Ruya.

Jiang Ruoyin was dazed. She glanced at Xia Ruya.

“Xinya, you… When did I…” Xia Ruya turned pale. The veins in her cheek made her look pitiful yet a bit creepy.
