Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Wenham pretended not to know about the incident, “I’m not involved in the affairs of the jewelry store. Stella did not tell me anything, so I have no idea what’s going on. Please stop crying. I’m sure you don’t want your children to witness you like this. I’ll inquire about the situation when Stella returns. Trust me. I won’t stand by her if she’s in the wrong.”

Chris’s wife, usually preoccupied with looking after the children and playing Mah-Jongg, lacked the sharpness of mind to see through Wenham’s act. Moreover, Wenham’s gentle demeanor and apparent lack of awareness left her uncertain. She cautiously glanced at Darcie.

Darcie’s expression remained stern as she addressed the situation, “Chris changed our material supplier in secret and padded his own pockets. What more is there to discuss? I’ve treated him well over the years. I thought he was diligent and reliable. I let him assist Stella, thinking it was a good way for him to earn some extra money. If his salary wasn’t enough, he should have communicated with me.

Instead, he decided to embezzle money. This is a complete disrespect to my authority.”

Chris’s wife started to sob, “Darcie, you don’t understand. Chris has his reasons for doing so. Business hasn’t been good at The Velvet after being handed over to the new management. Chris’s bonuses were greatly reduced.

Normally, we could endure this, but my in-laws fell ill and needed surgery. Chris’s monthly income only covers the mortgage and our daily expenses. We have no extra money to pay for the surgery.

“I wanted to call you to borrow some money, but he disagreed, saying he didn’t want to burden you and create conflict in your family. He said he’d figure something out. I never expected he would do this. If I’d known, I would’ve sold the house and stopped him from making this mistake.”
