Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 18

Of course, Caroline knew who Grandpa Cowell was.

She held the brand shopping bag with her hand forcibly and squeezed out a smile. Then she said in a strange tone, "Really? Congratulations."

I didn't want to waste time with her.

After the clerk helped me pay the bill, I took the bank card back and left the store. Then I went to buy a pair of light-colored high-heeled shoes to match my dress.

This time, I learned to be smart. I took a look at the price first before I decided to try out the shoes.

Fearing that the driver would be waiting for me anxiously, I bought my shoes and walked quickly to the door. "Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee." As soon as I arrived at the door, the lens on both sides made a sound.

Two security guards came over and stopped me directly, saying, "Lady, you may have something that has not been paid."

At this time, the manager of the shopping mall also came over and requested to check

the goods in my shopping bags.

I naturally gave it to him for examination.

The manager said that the magnetic bar of clothes and shoes had been removed. Then I went through the sensor door again. But it still made a sound.

Because I bought a skirt with a price of more than twenty thousand dollars. The manager was embarrassed to say directly that he needed to check my bag.

But I still took the initiative to hand the bag to the manager.

As a result, the manager found a silver bracelet with a label there!

"I didn't take it."

I was stunned!

I had an impression of this bracelet, which was at the counter of the store where I had bought the skirt. How could it be possible that it was in my bag?

When I was confused, the clerk in the clothing store ran over and saw the necklace on the manager's hand. She was almost crying as she said, "It turns out to be here! I thought it was lost."

The one who followed her was Caroline.

The manager asked the clerk what was going on.

The clerk said that there were so many customers in the shop just now. When she turned back and found that the bracelet was gone, she was so scared.

Although the clerk didn't say that it was me who took it, the fact that the bracelet was found in my bag had explained everything. I still explained to her, "I didn't take this. I don't know how it was in my bag."

The manager glanced at me and said disdainfully, "Explain it to the police!"

It was not until now that I was really panicked!

I thought, "I'm going to see Patrick's grandfather with him today. If I get involved with the police because of this matter and get delayed, it is unknown how Patrick's grandfather will think of me!"

The manager asked the security guard to take me to the office on the first floor of the shopping mall and then waited for the police's coming.

I struggled and didn't want to go with them. Caroline stood aside and said flatly, "Caroline, you used to be a thief in our house. And our parents turned a blind eye to you. But I really didn't expect that you would have the guts to steal in the mall."

She had the same appearance as me.

Her words were naturally very convincing.

The manager took me to the lounge of the shopping mall and called the police at the same time.

The police arrived very soon and knew about the situation. Because the monitoring room was locked, they could only get the surveillance video at night. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Originally, they decided to take me to the police station. But the manager answered a phone call and suddenly put on a smile as he agreed to let me go.

When I came out, he apologized to me over and over again and asked me not to take it to my heart.

In my heart, I feel puzzled.

But when I took my clothes back to the entrance and opened the back door, I found that two people were already sitting inside.

It was Patrick and Caroline.

Among them, Caroline was sitting at the door, blocking me.

In desperation, I had no choice but to sit in the front seat.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Caroline asking me in a caring tone, "Caroline, are you okay? I was afraid that they would make things difficult for you. So I asked Patrick for help. You won't blame me, will you?"

I didn't say anything.

I looked up and saw Patrick's eyes through the rearview mirror.

He looked ahead indifferently. I didn't know what he was thinking about.

Caroline probably saw that I didn't say anything. So she didn't want to embarrass herself. However, I happened to see from the rearview mirror that she was hooking Patrick's arm.

The car drove all the way to the Cowell Family's house. Caroline and Patrick got out of the car first and left the back seat to me. Then, I changed my clothes and shoes there.

When I got off the car, I saw Caroline putting her arms around Patrick's neck and asking for a kiss from him.

I walked over quickly and asked, "Can you give my husband back to me?"
