225 A Strong Backup!
“Wait!”
Angelina interrupted Sarah, “Isabella takes it, but I won’t.”
Suddenly, four strong bodyguards appeared at the door.
Sarah was shocked. “Who are you? What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, you’re the only guilty one!”
“Manager, get the surveillance video and call the police. I will hire a lawyer. I must make it clear!” Angelina said.
Sarah immediately turned her head and said, “There are no cameras at all. Listen, I pay half for the sake of the manager!”
The manager was scared. “Ms. Sarah, please don’t...”
Angelina suddenly smiled. “Really? You don’t have cameras?”
.....
The manager immediately answered, “This one is broken! But there must be a backup! I will go and get it now!”
When Sarah and the other two heard this, they were immediately stunned. The female clerk who had framed Isabella took a step back with a guilty conscience.
Angelina sat on the small chair in front of the counter, crossed her legs, and said to the female shop assistant in a powerful tone, “Young lady, you’re clever at your age. You know how to play tricks with people.”
Then, she smiled meaningfully. “Genius. Even the manager has been tricked by you.”
The female clerk’s face instantly turned ashen.
The manager ran out again, sweating profusely. He looked directly at Sarah and said, “Ms. Sarah, you’d better pay the bill and go, or I’m afraid it will tarnish your reputation!”
Sarah’s face darkened. “Manager, what do you mean? Who is she? Why are you so afraid of her?”
The manager was on the verge of tears. “The surveillance clearly recorded that you pushed Ms. Isabella. I don’t mean it but this is the truth!”
“You...”
The manager immediately winked at her and made a gesture to beg her.
Sarah was pissed off that she turned purple in the face. She threw the card to the clerk again. “Do it!”
Then, when the clerk packed up the broken jade bracelet for her, Sarah angrily swept it away and shouted to Isabella, “Remember today! Isabella! I will tell Rosy!”
Isabella pursed her lips and ignored her. Sarah pulled Sandra and Dorothy out the door.
Unexpectedly, the four bodyguards remained motionless.
The three girls immediately lost their temper and yelled at Angelina, “What else do you want?”
Angelina flicked the ashes from her cigarette. “You want to walk away after you’ve framed someone? Young ladies, remember, bad things pay for themselves. You have to pay for setting Isabella up, right?”
Sandra couldn’t bear it anymore. She stood up to help her sister and said fiercely, “What? What do you want? You must regret it if you dare to offend us in Peace City.”
Angelina seemed to have heard a joke.
She laughed. “You’re really brave. Brave, but reckless.”
Then she took the bill that Sarah had just paid and calmly said, “Although Peace City is rich, the salary of a deputy police chief is no more than 10,000 a month. Add in bonuses, overtime, subsidies, and all that, and it’s 150,000 a year. Now his daughter spent his four years’ salary at a jewelry store, and I think if you add up your card’s annual spending...”
Angelina pursed her lips and smiled, a hint of coldness and fierceness flashing through her eyes. “The thing that you rely on the most will vanish immediately, right?”
When Sarah and Sandra heard this, their faces immediately paled.
This was their biggest weakness.
There was no way their father could afford such expenses on his normal income, unless...
“Then what do you want?”
Angelina looked at Isabella. Everyone looked at Isabella...
Isabella immediately understood that they could only leave if she forgave them.
Sandra and Dorothy looked at Sarah. Sarah glared at Isabella and said angrily, “Isabella, you got a backup today, right? What do you want?”
Isabella pursed her lips and did not speak, but her eyes showed that she was not satisfied with their words. She sighed slightly, “Since you don’t want to apologize, you can take back what you said just now, and just do what you should do.”
Then she looked at Angelina. “I feel wronged to be framed for no reason.”
Angelina immediately nodded. “Manager, call the police.”
She gestured to a bodyguard at the door. “Contact the lawyer and ask Joseph to come over.”
“Yes!”
“Don’t! Don’t do it! Tell me what you want!”
When Sandra found that they lost their ascendancy, she immediately pulled Sarah and gave her a look. Then, she walked in front of Isabella and said with a smile, “Isabella, sometimes Sarah is a bit irritable. Sorry for dissatisfying you. We just wanted to make some fun. I didn’t expect that it would cause such a big misunderstanding. Please don’t be angry. Since we have known each other for so many years, let’s get it over in a peaceful way, okay?”
Isabella stared at Sandra. “Since we’ve known each other for so many years, you should know me well. I won’t forgive you if your sister doesn’t apologize personally today.”
Sandra’s face darkened, and Sarah immediately screamed, “Isabella, don’t go too far! Be careful of your language and you will pay for it!”
“You are the one who is going too far!” Isabella was also angry. “You’re the one who’s up to no good! If you don’t want to apologize, tell me. We don’t have to waste time here!”
Sarah looked at Angelina and pondered for a while. “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Isabella insisted. “I hope you can make it clear. What about the next time? Next time you’ll do it on purpose?”
Sarah frowned and said patiently, “I pushed you just now unintentionally. I hope you won’t be angry. This will never happen again.”
“Swear on your beauty and your luck,” Isabella said ruthlessly.
“You...” Sarah clenched her fists tightly. “I swear on my beauty and luck that this will never happen again.”
...
Half an hour later, at an upscale seafood hotel.
Angelina was enthusiastically sharing food with Isabella as she smiled. “The taste here is so good after so many years. Come on, Isabella! Cheers!”
Isabella picked up the cup, but she was not interested. “Do you want to ask me about something?”
“Ask you?” Angelina asked back. “About what?”
“About what happened at the jewelry shop...”
“I thought you were too kind!” Angelina knocked on her chopsticks, “If it was me, I would make them cry before I let them go!”
Isabella pursed her lips. “Angelina, I can’t do that. They are my sister’s...”
