“Vana, your expression is so terrible. If I didn’t know you are so kind, I would think you were going to kill me.” Julie’s words brought Vana come to her senses. Vana really wanted to tell Julie that if it was in the past, she would have killed people on impulse. But now she was in the H Country, she had to be an honest and law-abiding citizen.
“By the way, Julie, do you know why I asked you to come here?”
Hearing that, Julie slightly observed Vana’s expression and said carefully, “I heard it is the thing that you were reported to have stolen jewelry in SS.”
Vana nodded and said, “yes. Daisy reported that I stole ‘Sprout 01’ and that jewelry was indeed lost, but it was not me who stole it, but Daisy.”
“What? How could this be? But…” Julie’s words stopped abruptly, which made Vana wonder if Julie’s unfinished words were related to some secrets.
However, the reason why she called Julie here today was not simply to protect her, but to get some information from Julie. After all, Julie used to ally with Petty, so she must know something.
“Julie, we have found the video recording the process of “Sprout 01″ was stolen, and it may involve Petty. I think you were close to Petty before, so I asked Mr. Terence to help me ask you out. You also know that it is related to my reputation. Since I can hide my identity and work in SS, I can’t do such a thing to humiliate my reputation. After all, it’s not good for my husband.”
When Julie heard that Petty was involved in this matter, she became nervous subconsciously. Recently, she also heard that someone reported Vana, but the company said that it was an anonymous report to the outside world, and how did Vana know that the person who reported her was Daisy? Although it was indeed Daisy…..
“Vana, why do you know it was Daisy who reported you? Didn’t the company say it was anonymous? Besides, the informant said that you had stolen ‘Sprout 01’. Then the company should have found out the truth. Since they haven’t found the evidence that you took ‘Sprout 01’, you should be innocent.”
Vana shook her head and said seriously, “but they won’t frame me for no reason. There must be some hidden secret. What’s more, Julie, if this matter can be stopped, it will be okay. But the key is later, there was an anonymous report that I and you stole a product of the ‘Sprout’ series worth about one million, so I can’t stand it. I have to investigate it clearly.”
“What? How could I be involved?” Julie’s eyes widened in shock. She kept silent for a while, but obviously she still didn’t believe what Vana said. She questioned, “are you telling the truth, Vana? Or did you say that on purpose?”
Vana caught the point of Julie’s words and asked, “why do you think I’m deliberately involved with you? But what I said is true.”
Only when Julie knew that the anonymous person would never get her involved would she doubt Vana so much, but what Vana said was true.
To prove that she didn’t lie, Vana showed Julie the screenshots that Terence had sent to her before. Julie looked at them carefully and then her whole body became different. If she just was unwilling to believe it before, now she was a little depressed, like a criminal who had been thrown into hell.
“Julie, look at the report. It wrote reasonably. It also sets out the time when the two of us stole the jewelry together. Although it’s still to be verified, what I said is really true.”
Vana wanted to comfort Julie, but if she couldn’t get some useful information from Julie now, there would be no chance later, because it was the time when Julie’s defense was the weakest.
“It’s impossible. She won’t do that. It’s impossible. Vana, there must be a mistake. I didn’t…”
“But Julie, I didn’t do it either. They wronged me for no reason!” Vana immediately interrupted Julie. Julie was stunned and didn’t say anything for a long time.
Seeing that Julie still couldn’t accept it, Vana called the waiter to order a cup of coffee for her, and then patiently waited for Julie to tell her the truth.
Obviously, through Julie’s reaction just now, Vana had already known that Julie knew it.
After drinking up a cup of coffee and ordering some desserts, Vana sent a message to Simon that she was in the cafe across the shopping mall. She thought if she couldn’t get Julie to tell her the truth, she might have to use the last resort——let Simon come to stimulate her.
As time went by, the weather became more and more cloudy and uncertain in autumn. It was sunny before, but now it was overcast. After a while, many customers began to come out of the shopping mall. Presumably, it was lunch time, and they needed to find a place to have a rest.
Vana looked at her watch and found that Julie had been silent for more than half an hour. Seeing that the Matcha cake in front of Julie did not be eaten, Julie pushed the plate to the side of Julie and said, “try this cake first. It tastes a little bitter, but the sweetness is stronger than bitter taste. I think it is the same as life. Although there are times when it is bitter, the whole process is still very beautiful.”
Julie looked at her numbly and then nodded. She picked up the spoon and began to eat the Matcha cake.
After only two bites, she stopped eating, looked at Vana and said, “Vana, I have something to tell you!”
Vana was a little stunned, and then she smiled brightly and said, “let’s talk about it later. Why don’t you have some dessert first to make yourself feel better?”
Julie shook her head and said firmly, “no, I can’t still have the mood to eat in front of you. Vana, I’m sorry. In fact, this matter totally has nothing to do with you. It was caused by me. I will go to the company and make it clear to them, so that they can prove your innocence.”
Vana shook her head and said in a low voice, “no, even if you clarify it for me, I still can’t get rid of the suspicion, because ‘Sprout 01’ hasn’t been found yet. Even if the surveillance camera has recorded the scene that Daisy took away the jewelry, as long as she said that I am her accomplice, no one is willing to believe me. After all, I don’t have real evidence to get rid of the suspicion for myself.”
Julie was somehow anxious when she heard what Vana said. Her hand holding the spoon trembled slightly and her words became incoherent.
“Vana, I don’t know what happened to ‘Sprout 01’, but I know that the jewelry won’t be taken away by you. I have handed the ‘Sprout’ series of jewelry to Mr. Steve before. Daisy said she would help me put it in Mr. Steve’s office, but how did it become like this? I… I have quit. I don’t want to get involved at all. I really don’t want to lose my current job.”
“Julie, calm down. Don’t get excited. Take your time, okay?”
Vana held Julie’s excited hands, and Julie’s eyes became focused. She looked at Vana in front of her and suddenly burst into tears.
“Vana, I don’t know why things turned out like this. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It has nothing to do with you. I will go to the company and make it clear.”
