She really did not want any more jewelry
Before they could walk away, two of the staff stopped them.
“I’m sorry. Um…one of our diamond rings went missing. Have you seen it?” The female staff asked.
Despite it being a question, Ashlynn could tell that they were suspected of stealing the ring.
“What are you trying to say? I put it down! Are you saying that I stole it? Search me, then!” Alexis straightened her back proudly
Though the staff were not allowed to search the customers, they refused to give way. “I’m sorry This might be a mistake, so why don’t we head back into the store and we can all check the surveillance
footage.”
“Why should ! do that? I’m telling you! You are going to pay if you keep standing in propped her hands on her hip fiercely “Why don’t you just search me? Come on.
around.
my way!” Alexis
She said while jumping
Ashlynn felt like they were being falsely accused as they could not have stolen anything. Just as she felt angry from being treated like thieves, something fell off of Alexis’s body.
The four of them turned to look and saw an extravagant diamond ring on the ground.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Ashlynn gaped at Alexis in disbelief, realizing that she had indeed stolen the ring.
Ashlynn had never imagined that she would be arrested for theft, and Alexis continued to argue with the police that the ring fell into her pocket on its own record.
Ashlynn held her hand up to cover her face in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain to the police that Alexis was mentally ill.
Just then, a few people in white robes came in. They showed the police officers their badges and explained the situation, before taking Alexis with them.
“Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Just wait. I will buy you a ring!” Alexis shouted.
Soon, she disappeared into the distance.
Ashlynn glanced down at her hands and realized that Alexis might have gone to steal the ring because Ashlynn was not wearing any.
The police officers turned their attention to Ashlynn, wondering if she was one of the patients in the asylum as well.
Ashlynn did not feel the urge to explain herself.
Suddenly, she heard noises from the entrance and when she turned to look over, Corentin’s towering figure appeared in her sight as he walked over mightily with his hands in his pockets.
There were other men behind him and he stood before Ashlynn to study her face.
A few minutes later, Ashlynn walked out of the police station and went into Corentin’s car.
The car went onto the highway steadily and Ashlynn felt the need to explain herself. “I didn’t steal the ring. Alexis probably thinks that the ring looks nice and stole it.”
As Alexis suffered from mental illnesses, she would not be required to be trialed for the felony, but would still have to pay a fine.
All Ashlynn could hope for was that Corentin would not get any odd ideas from the incident.
Corentin did not say a word, but instead reached for her hand.
Just as she wondered what he wanted to do, a ring slipped into her finger and she froze
Why is he giving me a ring? She thought, ‘Is it because of what happened today?”
“I told you that I didn’t steal it. I have nothing to do with that. I don’t like diamond rings.
“Start liking it, then,” he said decisively as he admired the ring on her finger. “This ought to stop those flies from bothering you.”
