A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"I can't afford it, but you certainly can." Emily replied, smiling cheerfully. The submissive look on her face just now was nowhere to be found.

"You did this to deliberately annoy me?" Needless to say, Rose had access to money thanks to Jack, but she didn't have enough on her to buy all the clothes she had asked to wrap up. What was worse was that she just realized that Emily had chosen the most expensive ones on purpose.

"Yes, I did it on purpose. When it comes to you, I have no shame," Emily threw Rose's words right back at her.

A ghastly paleness had overcome Rose's face. Just as she was about to lose her temper, two policemen came into the store and walked towards her.

"Ms. Rose, please come with us," said one of the policemen, politely, as he grabbed hold of Rose's arm.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" Rose opened her eyes wide, struggling in disbelief.

"Ms. Rose, you are a suspect in a case under investigation. Please come with us to the police station now for further investigation."

"Stay away from me! Don't touch me!" Not one word registered in her mind as she cried," Do you know who I am? How dare you arrest me without a reason!"

"Ms. Rose, we need to bring you in for further questioning," one of the policemen said in a harsh tone.

As soon as he said that, the other policemen grabbed Rose's arm in a firmer way to take her away.

Rose was flustered. She knew that she had done many misleads in the past but she couldn't tell which one would bring the police to her. And she didn't want any criminal record to be filed with the police office.

"It's you! I should have known that!" Rose suddenly snapped at Emily, with fire burning in her eyes," This is your doing! Jack won't spare you for this!"

Although Emily did not really know why Rose got arrested by the police, she felt very delighted," Have a nice trip, Rose."

The old saying was right—"The payback is just a matter of time."

When Rose was being escorted out of the shopping mall by the police, a crowd of journalists waiting outside the mall rushed towards her and took photos.
