Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Chapter 132 The Gems are Swapped

Two days later, after Lin Zhiyi had finished designing the base of the brooch, only the setting of the sapphire remained.

Xue Man specially came to oversee the process.

But, unexpectedly, an accident still occurred.

With a snap, the sapphire shattered.

The room fell silent, and the master craftsman’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"No, it wasn’t me. I didn’t apply any force."

Xue Man came to her senses, picked up half of the sapphire to examine it, and suddenly felt as if her soul had left her body, drained of all strength.

Lin Zhiyi supported her, taking over the half sapphire, and after careful scrutiny, was also stunned.

"This isn’t the sapphire we signed for."

Xue Man immediately pulled up the surveillance footage.

It turned out that in the past two days, aside from storing it, no one had entered the storeroom again.

Xue Man slumped in her chair, her hands supporting her head. "How could this happen? Where did it go wrong?"

Lin Zhiyi was also panicking, but fear alone was of no help now.

The only thing she was certain of was that there had been no problem during the day of the appraisal.

Just then, coincidentally, Chen Hongwei’s call came through.

The two exchanged glances, understanding each other.

But Xue Man had her own concerns.

"Mr. Chen is very familiar with our progress, it seems we have a mole."

"But we don’t have any proof. A gem worth tens of millions lost right under our noses. If the word gets out, who would dare come to me for jewelry designs? Besides, you signed the handover document; you are the one responsible!"

Xue Man was giving her a warning—if they couldn’t find evidence in the end, she would have to bear all the consequences.
