Chapter 330 Luke Arrives Just In Time!
After Sue saw that Bianca was done purchasing her gown, she said, "Now that our business is done here, we’d better go. There are several skunks here stinking up the air."
She waved her hand in front of her nose as though there was really something in the air.
Leia and Melissa’s expressions turned unpleasant. Was that woman talking about them? This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Hey, watch your mouth! Who are you calling a skunk?" Melissa was furious.
Bianca held Sue's hand and answered coldly, "Whoever that replies."
Melissa angrily kicked the thick-browed young woman's shin. "Go and beat up those two for me!"
Yancy was loyal like a dog. She put down the shopping bags in her hands and started to pounce at Bianca and Sue.
Before she could lay a finger on the two women, Sue stretched out her leg and tripped the woman!
Then, she grabbed Yancy's body and easily performed an over-the-shoulder toss. The tall and bulky woman lay face-up on the ground and could not get up for a long time.
"Is that all you have? You don't know that I have a black belt in karate!" Sue gestured condescendingly at Melissa.
"Let's go, Sue." Bianca gently tugged Sue's hand.
Just when they were about to leave, Melissa shot a glance at Yancy, who immediately started yelling frantically, "Ah, Melissa, the diamond necklace you just bought is missing! It was in the shopping bag earlier..."
Melissa pretended to look surprised. "How is that possible? The necklace is very expensive. I bought it for 900,000 dollars!"
Yancy got up from the floor and waved a receipt in her hand. "The necklace is really gone, Melissa, and the box too! I only have this receipt left..."
The sales clerk was alarmed when she saw the scene. "Miss, perhaps you might have misplaced the necklace in another bag, or might you have left it in the jewelry store?"
After all, she had to bear responsibility if the expensive necklace went missing in their store.
"No. I placed the necklace in my handbag. I just bought it earlier.”
As Melissa spoke, she emptied the contents of each shopping bag and rummaged around. "When I stepped in earlier, I saw the necklace in the shopping bag, but when I was talking to that woman, my necklace suddenly disappeared! I bought that necklace for my mother's birthday..."
Several sales clerks crowded over and looked at the receipt. Indeed, it was bought not too long ago. They helped Melissa look through her bags, but they occasionally shot suspicious glances at Bianca and Sue.
They did not suspect Leia because of her status. Moreover, she could have afforded the necklace, so why would she steal?
After a long and futile search, Melissa pointed at Bianca. "My necklace went missing after our argument. I think that she and her friend are highly suspicious!"
Sue was instantly furious. "Watch what you say! Who cares about your stupid necklace? I wouldn't want it to ruin my neck!"
One of the sales clerks suggested, "Everyone is here when the necklace went missing, and so everyone is a suspect. How about if we check everyone's bags?" 1
Leia looked at the surrounding chaos and shrugged. "Search all you want. It's none of my business."
Earlier, she had seen Yancy slip the necklace into Bianca's coat pocket. She was not going to say anything because the matter did not involve her. Moreover, she was happy that Bianca was being framed. 1 "Are you planning to search all of us without our permission? Do you still have the law in your eyes?" Bianca said calmly.
The sales clerk was shocked by Bianca's cold voice. However, she insisted, "A customer has lost something here, and all of us are responsible. If you're innocent, why would you be afraid of being searched?" "No one can search me. If I knew that I'd be involved in this nonsense, I wouldn't have stepped into this store even if you paid me money!" Sue blurted.
The sales clerk hesitantly said, "All of us will have to be searched. Please open your bags. Otherwise, if the lady calls the police, it'll be more trouble for all of us." "You can search my bag first," Leia said cooperatively.
One of the sales clerks searched Leia's handbag thoroughly. "The necklace isn't in Ms. Norman's handbag. Now that even the celebrity is willing to cooperate with us, can you two do the same?" "I dare you to touch my handbag!" Sue raised a fist and weaved it precariously toward the sales clerk.
The sales clerk remembered how the seemingly slim woman had tossed the bigger woman over her shoulder and stepped backward.
"Neither of us have laid a finger on that supposed necklace. What right do you have to search us? I dare you to touch my handbag without my permission!" Bianca said coldly.
"It's my necklace. I'll do the searching myself!" Melissa reached for Bianca's coat.
Bianca was protecting her handbag. She did not notice that Melissa's hand was reaching for her coat pocket!
Just when Melissa was about to touch Bianca's coat, a tall and strong figure brought Bianca into his embrace.
Melissa missed, and she slammed into an arm that was as hard as an iron wall.
Shocked, she looked upward and saw an incredibly handsome face. Even her cousin Xavier was no match.
Melissa was dumbstruck.
How could there be such a handsome man?
Leia noticed the man. She quickly turned around to prevent herself from being recognized, but it was too late.
The sales clerks were shocked when they saw Luke's sudden appearance.
Luke, as the CEO of T Corporation, often appeared on the cover pages of financial magazines. Naturally, the sales clerks recognized him.
"Good... good evening," they greeted Luke.
"Why are you here?" Bianca asked, surprised.
She had lied to Bianca earlier to make her angry. She did not expect that Luke would actually come to pick her up. 2
Luke took her hand and looked into her eyes. "My woman is bullied in public. Why shouldn't I come?"
Bianca did not know that Luke had installed tracking software into her phone ever since the last accident. He was not going to track her at all times, but in case of dire emergencies, Luke could reach her in time.
Luke had heard the commotion when he stepped into the shopping mall. He understood that Bianca was being framed.
Anger rose in the man's eyes as he looked at those troublemakers in the store.
