Chapter 150: Necklace Design

Translator: _Min_

Gu Zhi felt a momentary panic but quickly regained her composure. “There are many similar styles in the world. How can you be sure this necklace is yours? And if you’re saying I took your things, do you have proof?”

Gu Dai looked at her and calmly said, “I never said you took my things. I just mentioned that it looks similar. But now that you mention it, it does make me wonder if you might have taken them.”

Feigning arrogance, Gu Zhi retorted, “Why would 1 take your clothes, let alone wear something you wore three years ago?”

Though she spoke confidently, her heart was racing.

When she had moved into the Gu household three years ago, she couldn’t resist claiming all of Gu Dai’s beautiful clothes for herself.

After her father, Gu Ming, secured the Gu family’s assets, she stopped wearing Gu Dai’s old clothes. In fact, whenever she saw those clothes, they reminded her of the days when she was envious of Gu Dai, and she had thrown them into a small cabin in a fit of anger.

Now she was living in that small, shabby cabin, and Gu Dai’s old clothes were the best she had to wear. To celebrate Gu Ming’s discharge from the hospital, she wore one of the necklaces, never expecting Gu Dai to notice it.

But regardless; it had been three years, and Gu Zhi didn’t believe Gu Dai had any evidence to prove the clothes were hers.

As this thought crossed her mind, the fact that Gu Dai couldn’t do anything despite knowing what happened, her eyes were filled with smugness and defiance.

Liu Min chimed in, “Exactly, why would your sister wear your clothes? After all, she was also raised by me and your Elder Uncle. She wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Gu Ming didn’t speak but nodded in agreement.

Gu Dai raised an eyebrow, finding the situation amusing. The necklace Gu Zhi was wearing was one she had made herself three years ago; there couldn’t possibly be another like it in the world.

Gu Dai lifted her gaze to Gu Zhi and said with a smile, “May 1 take a closer look at the necklace? I feel like it looks even better than the one I had before.”

Without any suspicion, Gu Zhi took off the necklace and handed it to Gu Dai. Crossing her arms and rolling her eyes, she said, “Sure, take a look. But be careful with it. If you damage it, you’ll have to pay me ten times its original price. This is my favorite necklace, after all.”

Ignoring Gu Zhi, Gu Dai took the necklace and examined it carefully.

A sense of foreboding filled Gu Zhi as she watched Gu Dai scrutinize the necklace. She extended her hand and said, “Give me back the necklace!”

Ignoring Gu Zhi’s plea, Gu Dai didn’t return the necklace; instead, she gripped it tightly in her hand.

“What do you mean, Gu Dai? Why are you taking my necklace?” Gu Zhi’s pupils dilated as she raised her voice.

Gu Ming also furrowed his brow, discontentedly saying, “Gu Dai, give the necklace back to your sister!”

Gu Dai’s smile vanished, and she spoke coldly, “It’s my necklace. Why should 1 give it to someone else?”

Gu Zhi’s pupils contracted. Forcing herself to speak, she said, “This is clearly my necklace. You can’t just claim it’s yours because you have a similar one!”

Unable to hold back, Gu Dai laughed. She extended the necklace for everyone to see and said softly, “So, you’re saying you’re Gu Dai?”

Confused, Gu Zhi didn’t understand what Gu Dai meant. However, upon seeing the name “Gu Dai” engraved on the necklace, she froze, disbelievingly saying, “Impossible. The name wasn’t there when I last looked. You must have switched it!”

Nodding her head, Gu Zhi affirmed her own words.

Liu Min chimed in, “I’ve also seen this necklace before, and there was no name on it. You must have switched it when you held it in your hand!”

Even Gu Ming became exceptionally angry, furiously saying, “Gu Dai, you already have control of the Gu Group. Are you still not satisfied? Now you’re even taking your sister’s necklace?”

In the face of the trio’s accusations, Gu Dai remained silent. Instead, she gently pressed a small button on the necklace.

The next second, the name on the necklace slowly disappeared.

When Gu Dai saw the shocked expressions on their faces, she said, nonchalantly, “The reason you couldn’t see the name before is that you didn’t activate the switch. This is a feature I specifically designed years ago. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, it’s clear that Gu Zhi took my necklace.. Do you still have anything to say?”
