Chapter 112 Dismissing Wren

+8 Pearis

Caroline opened the security app on her phone, then set it down on the coffee table. “Anyone who still thinks I stole the jackfruit–go ahead and watch the footage.”

Wren shot her a glare. “I saw it with my own eyes! You were the one cating it–don’t try to lie now!” she snapped as she reached for the phone.

But her hand slipped. The phone nearly fell.

Thankfully, Caroline had seen it coming and caught it mid–air.

Wren gave a strained laugh. “Sorry… your phone’s just really slippery.”

Caroline stared straight at her. “No. I think you were hoping to drop it on purpose, trying to destroy the

evidence.”

Edwin heard that and his face grew even harder. Wren wasn’t just sneaky–she was calculated.

After a long moment, he turned to Wren and said flatly, “I’m not gonna argue with you about the damn jackfruit. Just pack your things and leave.”

He didn’t want someone like that in his house–someone who’d steal, lie, and then throw blame around without batting an eye.

Wren panicked. She rushed over, tugging at his sleeve. “Please, Mr. Edwin. I’m innocent. You can’t just throw me out over a misunderstanding. There’s no proof I did anything!”

Ruth jumped in immediately. “Yeah! Edwin, my mom’s been working here loyally for years. You know what kind of person she is! You can’t let someone stir things up and then turn your back on her.”

She shot Caroline a glare so sharp it could cut glass–there was no doubt who she meant by someone.

If Caroline hadn’t called Edwin and Alaina back, they never would’ve found out about the jackfruit. And if Wren lost this job? That wasn’t just bad–it would be devastating.

Wren was getting older. If she left the Somertons, no one was going to hire her again–certainly not with

the same pay.

But her words not only didn’t work, but also made Edwin even more angry.

Any normal person, thinking carefully about this matter from beginning to end, would probably understand the situation.

But these two women were still shouting their innocence, refusing to give up.

He looked at Ruth and said, “Since you bought this jackfruit, show me the payment record, or even the receipt.”

He added, “Don’t tell me you paid in cash and didn’t take a receipt.”
