Mrs. Clegg said to her son, half-jokingly, "Look at you, you're not as thoughtful as Jose. Great minds go beyond shades of blue, wouldn't it be something if our Jose becomes the first female captain of Interpol in the future."
Mr. Clegg had already ordered the servants to call all the housekeepers and servants who might have committed the crime to Mrs. Clegg's room.
Mrs. Clegg asked Phoebe Wood, "Anne, you have no objections to this matter, right?"
Anyhow, Phoebe Wood had no motive to steal the necklace.
The Wood family was wealthy and Phoebe Wood, as a spoiled daughter, already owned a lot of jewelry. She had no need to covet Mrs. Clegg's necklace.
Phoebe Wood was extremely uncomfortable, but every word Jose said made sense. Especially when she said that Phoebe would be the future mistress of the Clegg family.
Phoebe Wood enjoyed that flattery.
And it was her who first suggested searching the rooms directly.
