Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 21

Chapter 21 One-man Support

This is my ring!"

Heather let out a cry and looked at Annabel contemptuously.

"You stole my ring! Now that it has been found in your purse, it's safe to say that you are nothing but a shameless thief.Are you still going to deny it?"

The strange appearance of the diamond ring in her purse didn't ruffle Annabel at all.She had expected this to happen.

The moment the waiter testified against her, Annabel was sure that the ring was in her purse.

Someone had put it there when she wasn't looking.

The culprit was none other than Heather.

"Annabel, if you returned the ring to me and apologized to me just now, I could have let it go."

From the corner of her eye, Heather saw the man she loved.

She changed her arrogant tone to an extremely soft one just to paint herself as an understanding person.

"You are far too kind, Heather.A shameless thief like Annabel doesn't deserve to be let off the hook so easily.We'd better inform the police.Otherwise, she would continue to go about stealing people's valuables!"

Bella urged her friend.

"Well, you have a point there.Please call the police,"

Heather agreed, nodding thoughtfully.

"You deserve it, Annabel! Theft is an unacceptable crime.You should go to jail to join other criminals!"

Cathy piped up, her eyes glistening with smugness.

It was obvious she was enjoying the show.

Despite it all, there was still no panic on Annabel's face.

She looked at them as if she wasn't being roasted.

They wanted to call the cops? That would be great! It would be more interesting to expose Heather's scheme in front of the police.
