Chapter 7
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 7 While everyone was focused on Yvette, Yasmin shot a glance at the manager, who immediately understood what she had to do.
The manager discreetly slipped a womanâs watch into Yvetteâs backquack, which she had left on the couch, Upon seeing this, Yasmin smirked. If she could frame Yvette for theft, her reputation in the city would be ruined.
As expected, the manager soon kicked up a foss âNot only did you hurt our employee, but you abo stole from our store. This is outrageous! The manager was fusing. She held up Yvetteâs backpack and revealed the watch to the crowd.
Yasmin bit her lip, her face masked with shock and disappointment. âYe, how could you do this? I know you grew up in the countryside and havenât seen many of these things, but stealing is unacceptable!â
The crowdâs disdain for Yvette intensified âSo, sheâs a country bumpkin. No wonder!â
âYeah, go back to the countryside! We donât want you here!â
âExactly, get lost!â
The manager grew even more arrogant amidst the yelling. She pointed at votto and sneered, âThis is a highâend store. Donât come in if you donât have the money. This is no place for poor people like you!â
âWho are you calling poor?â Having overheard the commotion, Yara stormed out of the fitting room furiously.
âWhat kind of lousy store treats their customers this way?â
Upon seeing Yara, the manager quickly changed her tone, trying to appease Yera. âMr. Murray, thereâs been a misunderstanding.
Our store believes that the customer is always right. However, she assaulted our employee end stole from us. Such bearior canât go unpunished.â
âShut up!â Yareâs anger flared âStop talking nocense. My dear Wie can have anything she wants. Why would she need to steal your lousy Yvette could have the family a billionâdollar luctune if she wored.
The manager was left speechless by Taraâs words. But after receiving a warning glare from Yasunin, Yara quickly continued speaking. âMrs Murray, Iâm not making things up. She injured our staff and stole from the store. Everyone here saw it!â
âThatâs right, all of es sawit.â The cronat nadded in agreement.
Yasmin grew more smug by the second. She spoke, âWie, theyâll forgive you as long as you apologize to them sincerely!â She was determined to frame Yvette as thief.
âYasmin, what are you talking about? Yara spoke to her stemly for the first time. âWe would never steal. Thereâs no need for an apology!â
As she finished speaking, Yara turned to comfort Yvette, âDonât be afraid, Yvie. Memâs got your back!â
A warmth spread through Yvetteâs heart, and the coldness in her delicate features softened slightly Upon witnessing Yara defend Yvette, Yasminâs resentment grew. She said, âYouâre right, Anunt Yara. I must have misunderstood her. I also believe that vie would never steal. Letâs check the surveillance footage to clicar things to!â
The manager had already been bribed, and with the surveillance footage in their hands, they could edit it however they pleased.
âYeah, thatâs right. We can check the surveillance footage now, Mrs. Murray!â The manager immediately complied, nahing to the computer to pull up the footage.
Of course, the video recordings had been edited to remove any instances of the staffâs provocation, leaving only clips of Yvetteâs actions.
âLook at this, she sprayed disinfectant into someoneâs eyes. This lady has such a wicked heart!â
âYeah, stealing and assaulting peopleâterrible!â
Despite the crowdâs condemnation, Yvette remained unfazed. Her voice remained cool as she spoke, âThereâs something wrong with video!
How could there be anything wrong with it?â The manager retorted defensively. âEveryone saw it happen. Stop talking nonsense!â
âYou tampered with the footage.â
With those words, Yvette brushed off their protests, showing no interest in arguing with them.
She then strode confidently to the computer, Ignoring the managerâs feeble attempt to stop her.
The managerâs nervousness was obvious. A mere glance from Yvette was enough to intimidate her into backing off.
How could a country girl like her possess such a dominating presence?
Yvette was focused on the computer screen as her agile fingers swiftly danced across the keyboard Observing this, Yasmin couldnât help but smirk triumphantly. A staff member had already deleted those video clips under her instructions, so there was no way Yvette could retrieve them now! S~á´aÊá´h the Find_Nøvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âYvie, since you grew up in the countryside, maybe itâs best not to mess with the computer. You donât want to break it by accident, right?â Yasminâs tone oozed with sarcasın. But before she could finish, Yvet to withdrew her hands, her tone nonchalant.
âIâm done.â
The deleted surveillance footage was fully restored and began playing automatically.
The manager and staff membersâ faces paled in an instant. They began to panic..
t a taste of The recovered video clearly showed the staffâs rude behavior. She tried to spray the disinfectant into Yvetteâs eyes first, only to get a her own medicine.
As for the theft accusation, it was total nonsense. The footage showed the manager slipping the watch into Yvetteâs backpack, trying to frame her for it âGosh, so thatâs what happened! Weâve been blaming this poor girl all along!â
âI canât believe your sto âYeah, us too!â
would stoop so low, trying to frame an innocent girl! Thatâs just disgusting. Iâm never stepping foot in here again!â
The crowd realized they had been manipulated and felt the anger rising within them. They had sympathized with the staff members before, but now they were furious The manager and staff couldnât even lift their heads, feeling guilty and panicked. They hadnât expected Yvette to recover the deleted footage.
They were in big trouble now, The video froze at the moment the manager pointed at Yvette and called her poor, causing Yara to tremble in anger.
âNot only did you try to frame my dear Yvie, you also insulted her! I think youâll find it hard to stick around in Jubilife City after this!â
The Murray family was the wealthiest and most influential family in Jubilife City; making someone disappear from the city was a piece of cake for them.
âWe made a mistake, Mrs. Murray. Weâve messed up. Please forgive us just this once...â
The manager and her team looked to Yasmin in desperation.
They just did what she told them to, didnât they? Plus, Yasmin even said that Yvette was just some unwelcome and poor relative of the Murray family. Why was Mrs. Murray defending her like this?
