Charlotte widened her beautiful eyes, her face full of disbelief. How could this necklace inexplicably appear in her drawer?
“It’s impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
“When I came back just now, the necklace wasn’t on the table. Now it suddenly appears in my drawer. There’s definitely something wrong.”
Charlotte’s face was stern. “And if I did take your necklace, how could it possibly end up in my drawer?”
“Someone must be framing me.”
She stared at Bella intently, the latter feeling a pang of panic but still feigning composure. “How am I supposed to know what some thief is thinking?”
“Perhaps some people think they can get away with their dirty deeds without anyone knowing?”
“Unfortunately, there are no walls that don’t let the wind through. Stealing is stealing, and arguing won’t change that!”
“Let’s go!”
“I’ll take you to see the supervisors and let them judge whether this conniving person like you should be sent to prison!”
With that, she moved to pull Charlotte.
Charlotte shook off her hand directly, her gaze cold. “I told you, I didn’t steal your stuff! Why should I go with you?”
Bella laughed angrily. “Alright! You still won’t confess?”
“Let’s discuss this rationally. Wasn’t the necklace found in her drawer just now? If it wasn’t stolen by her, then who else could it be?”
“But now, she’s trying to deny it!”
“It seems you won’t feel remorse until you have to pay what you’ve done!”
A woman disdainfully remarked, “How did I end up with such a person as a colleague? Such disgrace.”
“She looks decent, but who would’ve thought she’s so sneaky? I really misjudged her.”
People in the office criticized one after another, their faces full of disdain.
Charlotte, feeling wronged, had tears welling up in her eyes. If this matter wasn’t clarified, she would be branded as a thief from now on.
She couldn’t bear this grievance.
She had to clear her name in this matter, or she’d be too ashamed to face anyone in the future.
“Since you insist it’s me, fine, let’s check the surveillance.”
“Let the surveillance speak.” Charlotte asserted firmly.
Bella was somewhat speechless. Why was this woman insisting on checking the surveillance?
She had a sudden thought. “Charlotte, you’re quite cunning, deliberately bringing up the surveillance knowing we can’t access it, trying to absolve yourself of responsibility, right?”
“I underestimated you.”
“Stop with all this nonsense, let’s go explain to the supervisors.”
“Making such a scene, is it proper?”
Just then, a stern voice came from inside.
Deandre walked out, his face frighteningly dark, accompanied by two middle-aged men.
One bald.
One tall and thin.
Both of them looked displeased.
These two men were also supervisors in the marketing department, wielding considerable authority.
They were on equal footing with Deandre.
After a moment of thought, Deandre said coldly, “What happened just now? It’s in such a mess. If people from other departments see this, won’t it be embarrassing!?”
Upon hearing Deandre’s words, those people suddenly quieted down.
They dared not make a sound.
But Bella wasn’t afraid at all! She was currently the one in the right!
What was there to fear?
“Mr. Chandler, it’s not us being embarrassing, it’s just that… some people did something embarrassing!”
“I just went to the restroom for a moment, it was only a short while, but when I came back, the necklace on the table was gone!”
“Isn’t that quite a coincidence?”
“What’s even more coincidental is that when I casually searched around, I found this necklace hidden in Charlotte’s drawer…”
“Everyone saw it, don’t accuse me of making baseless accusations!”
As she said this, the three supervisors all turned their gaze to Charlotte.
Deandre looked incredulous. “Charlotte, is this true?”
Charlotte looked aggrieved. “Mr. Chandler, I… I don’t know how the necklace ended up in my drawer, but I really didn’t steal it!”
