Jason thought that he had given Anna the dignity of being a CEOâs wife. He had no feelings for Anna,
but she was well-dressed, well-fed, and waited on by the servants. She did not suffer at all, and he
even got her a supplementary credit card. He was never stingy with money.
Although Anna had not spent a cent on that card in the past three years, she still lived a life that was a
thousand times better than when she was working as a caregiver in a nursing home.
Why would she say that? It sounded as if she had been abused at his house.
Justin became angrier as he thought about it. His eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his jaw.
âPft! Youâre just being stubborn. Since you are the manager here, I wonât play nice. Your hotel must
give me an explanation for this today. Or compensate me with an identical necklace. Itâs not that
expensive-only $2 million. You can also send this thieving housekeeper to prison. You, as the manager,
canât shirk responsibility either. You must bow and apologize to me in front of everyone. Money is not
the problem here. The main thing is that I wonât endure this.â Bethany flipped her wavy hair and rolled
her eyes.
Bethany would not recognize Anna as her ex-sister-in-law in front of so many people because she
found it embarrassing.
Moreover, this was a rare opportunity to get back at the bumpkin. Anna was in the limelight at the
charity auction last time. Now, Anna was no longer recognized as Mr. Thompsonâs lover and was only a
lowly part-time worker. Bethany was adamant about crushing her.
âMr. Salvador, the young madam is being bullied again!â Ian usually disliked Bethanyâs attitude and was
extremely worried about Anna.
âHold on.â
Justin narrowed his eyes slightly. He was curious about his ex-wife.
He had never seen Anna in the workplace. In his memory, Anna was just a humble housewife.
Hotels were in the service industry, which was not easy to manage. Justin wanted to see if Anna could
resolve Bethanyâs problem after Asher made her a hotel manager.
âMs. Salvador, since your necklace is worth $2 million, you can file a police report and open an
investigation. If you want to recover your losses, we can help you call the police. After all, the sooner
you call the police, the sooner your necklace will be found. Moreover, all employees in this hotel,
including myself, will cooperate with the police investigation. We will surrender all surveillance footage
and employeesâ personal belongings for inspection as long as they have a search warrant.â
Bellaâs tone was calm.
The crowd started to whisper.
âThat makes sense! She should make a police report immediately! Whatâs the point of making a scene
here?â
âI think she misplaced it and just wanted someone to take the blame!â
Bethany was so angry that her face was flushed. âWhatâs the use of a search warrant? This thief must
have moved it!â
âIâm not a thief! I didnât steal anything from you!â The housekeeperâs eyes turned red with anger, and
her whole body was trembling.
âExcept for the bathrooms, showers, and staff locker rooms, all areas of our hotel have high- definition
surveillance cameras. After the incident, I immediately stopped all the employees in the housekeeping
department from leaving. If someone stole your necklace, it should still be in the hotel.
There would be no time for them to move it elsewhere.â
Bella took out her phone and waved it in front of Bethany. âWhen I rushed over just now, I had already
called the police. They should arrive in about ten minutes. As for the apology you demand, I will not
hesitate to do so once the matter has been resolved.â
Bellaâs explanation was foolproof.
âYoung Madam is so amazing! She handled this like a professional!â Ian could not help but compliment
Bella in awe. He was Bellaâs number-one fan.
Justin glared at Ian, but his heart moved.
He had to admit that Anna dealt with the incident decisively. She remained calm, witty, assertive, and
graceful. She looked like a lady boss and nothing like the lowly and timid housewife trapped in his
small manor.
âFine! You said so yourself. I didnât force you!â Bethany gritted her teeth.
âOf course. I am the manager of the hotel, so I should be responsible for my guests. But that is under
the condition that we are indeed at fault.â
Bella was smiling, but it did not reach her bright eyes.
At this time, Steven led the housekeeping manager over in a hurry. He held a plastic bag carefully, as if
he were handling a piece of police evidence.
âWe found Ms. Salvadorâs necklace!â
