There was no malice in Sharon's eyes as she looked at Bella, giving a barely perceptible nod.
Bella looked back at her, her fists clenched tightly. After a moment, she nodded and stepped aside, saying, "Ms. Cheney, sorry to trouble you."
"It's just looking at clothes, not a bother." Sharon smiled and walked over to Bella's suitcase, starting to rummage through it.
Bella was actually very nervous. By now, she understood that Rhonda calling her away earlier was just a ploy to lure her away. What worried her now was that Farah Garner might have really planted the Jade Buddha in her suitcase to frame her. If it was found on the spot, she would have no way to explain, not even taking a dip in The Serpent River could clear her name.
Sharon meticulously searched through the suitcase but found nothing. She neatly folded everything she had gone through before moving on to look at the two pieces of clothing Bella had folded on the bed, finding nothing again.
