Chapter 23 Forced Apology

"Oh, my God! So, it was you that stole my ring.But how did it get into Annabel’s purse?"

Heather questioned the waiter just to pin the whole thing on him.

"I planned to sell the ring after getting off work.However, you began to look for it and even asked the security to search everywhere.I was scared of getting exposed, so I slipped the ring into her purse when no one was looking.Please forgive me.I didn't mean it.My mother is lying seriously ill in the hospital, and she needs surgery.I have no money, so I was forced to steal."

"Tell me, who put you up to this?" Annabel asked, frowning at him.

"No one.I did on my own accord," the waiter answered in a trembling voice, but he kept looking at Heather with fear.

Heather feared that everything would be exposed if Annabel continued to interrogate the waiter.

Biting her lower lip, she chipped in, "You know what? I don't want to pursue the matter.I'll let you off the hook because you did it for your mother."

"Thank you.I'm sorry once again."

The waiter thanked and apologized to Heather.

"You don't want to pursue it? That wasn't what you said when I was accused of stealing the ring.Why the sudden change of mind?"

Annabel uttered expressionlessly.

"That's enough, everyone.Since the ring has been found and Heather has forgiven the thief, there's no point dragging the matter,"Brock piped up when he saw that Heather was too embarrassed to say a word.Heather waved her hand in a hurry and asked the police to take the waiter away.She took the ring, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Annabel stepped forward and blocked Heather's way.

This schemer wanted to leave after causing so much damage? Annabel wasn't going to allow her to get away with this.No one dared to humiliate her and leave just like that.

"What's the matter?"

Heather looked at Annabel warily.

With a smirk, Annabel uttered, "Are you going to leave just like that? You humiliated me in front of all these people.I almost got arrested for what I didn't do.The least you can do before leaving is to apologize to me.Go on, I'm waiting!"

"No way!"

Heather's blood was boiling.

The last thing she wanted to do was to apologize to Annabel, a country bumpkin, in front of all these dignitaries.
