Chapter 1017

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.

Regardless of anything, I did not wish for Shannon to stay here.

Although she did not show it, I could sense her unease in an unfamiliar environment.

Shannon grabbed my hand and quickly said, "Listen t o me first, Wanda. Let's search all the trash

bins outside of every shop. I have a feeling we'll find them."

"Why should we search the trash bins?" I was a little confused.

She mulled it over and said, "I don't know how to explain it to you. Let's just go and search for them

first."

She pulled me outside after saying that.

Every time we reached the entrance of a store, we would look inside the trash bin and ask if the

store had emptied out the trash.

Although I was unable to understand the reason behind her actions, I did not stop Shannon from

doing so.

After countless shops, Shannon finally fished out all o f my papers from the trash. She said to me in

delight,"

We actually found them.”

Jordan and I were stunned, not expecting the papers t o actually be in the trash.

Shannon handed all the papers to me. "See if anything's missing."

Later, she walked into the store and snapped at the shopkeepers. "What's wrong with you guys?

Why didn't you keep the papers when you found them and wait for the customers to come back?

Why did you trash something that's so important?"

The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded as well. We had searched twice in a row, so the

appearance of the papers had surprised her as well.

After the shopkeeper realized what was happening, she quickly explained, "We didn't throw the

papers. W e didn't even see the papers, nor would we throw something this important into the trash

bin. You can check the surveillance camera if you don't believe us."

“Sure, why not?" Shannon refused to believe her. "Who else could it be if not you guys?"

"Forget it." I held her back. "We have a flight to catch."

I was glad the papers were found. Catching a flight was of utmost importance right now.

"No, we need to check the tapes." Shannon grew stubborn.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to pull up the surveillance footage to prove her innocence.

I looked at Jordan standing on the side and whispered, "I'm sorry, it might take a while."

Jordan shook his head. "It's fine."

Shannon leaned over to check the footage with the shopkeeper. After a few minutes, the

shopkeeper said, "See that? You were the ones who threw the papers into the bin, not us. The thief

is crying thief. You're just trying to give us trouble, aren't you?"

After hearing what she said, I was confused. "We threw it into the bin ourselves?"

Shannon pursed her lips and said to me, "Come and take a look at it yourself."

I walked over curiously and looked at the surveillance footage.

The video showed the five of us picking out goods in the store. As Shannon wanted to try carrying a

bag in the shop, she handed the bag in her hand to Dazaray.

Most of the time, women's attention was focused on the goods in the shop when they started

shopping.

Therefore, when Dazaray opened my bag and pulled out the papers to throw them into the trash

bin, none o f us noticed it.

Seeing her walk out of the shop as though nothing had happened, Shannon could not endure it any

longer. "Damn! What is she doing? Did she really throw your papers away so you couldn't go

home?"
