Chapter 62
Sherry smiled awkwardly and said, “How could it be? I was abroad in the past few days. Don’t listen to their
nonsense.”
If Carol hadn’t secretly asked Leonard to save Sherry regardless of Jensen’s stop, Sherry would have still been in pris
Gilda glanced at Sherry coldly and said, “Since you’ve been released, you should behave yourself. You can smash my multi–brand boutique again, as long as you are not afraid of being arrested again.”
“I said I’ve never been in jail. Can’t you hear me?” Sherry shouted.
Sherry couldn’t help but take a few steps forward but was stopped by Megan. “It’s two against one now. Do you want to fight with us?” asked Megan.
Both Gilda and Megan were not easy to deal with. After thinking about it for a while, Sherry swallowed the anger and gritted her teeth. “Why should I? I am just too eager to avoid you.”
Jensen had warned Sherry not to provoke Gilda.
“You should be scared! Gilda is not someone you can afford to offend!” Megan leaned on Gilda’s shoulder, full of pride.
Sherry pinched the palm of her hand, and she was very angry but couldn’t vent her anger. She could only go to find her friends sullenly.
However, she was told by the shop assistant that those girls had left quietly without informing her.
As the shame of being rejected by her friends grew stronger and stronger, Sherry cast a resentful glance at Gilda and Megan who were still in the store.
Gilda helped Megan try on a few bracelets, but Megan didn’t like them, so they were about to leave.
“Ladies, is there another bracelet you haven’t given back to me?” the shop assistant faked a smile and asked, but there was obvious suspicion in her eyes.
Another shop assistant hurried over and inquired, “One bracelet is indeed missing. Could you please verify if you may have forgotten to return it?”
“It’s you who should look for the missing bracelet. It has nothing to do with us,” Gilda answered calmly.
The two shop assistants couldn’t bluntly accuse them of stealing, yet their eyes were fixed on Gilda’s open handbag and they slowly moved towards the door to block Gilda and Megan’s way.
Seeing this, Megan asked angrily, “You lost the bracelet, but it has nothing to do with us. Why are you stopping us?”

saying, “I saw her put the bracelet in her handbag secretly.”

With Sherry’s testimony, the two shop assistants became surer of their suspicions. They said unkindly, “Miss, please open your handbag for us.”
Gilda said calmly, “I didn’t take the bracelet.”
“Miss, if you are embarrassed to admit that you’ve stolen the bracelet, you can pay at our counter, the shop assistant said, convinced that Gilda was the one who stole the necklace.
Gilda sneered and asked, “Why?”
Suddenly, Sherry shouted, “I’m sure she stole it! Be brave and search her handbag. The necklace must be there!”
Then the two shop assistants came over to touch Gilda’s handbag, but they were intimidated by Gilda’s sharp eyes.
“If you dare touch my handbag, you shall bear the consequences,” Gilda said decisively, which scared the shop assistants.
Hearing this, Sherry decided to do it herself. When she was about to pull Gilda’s handbag, she was held by a beautiful and slender hand.
Feeling the great pain, Sherry shouted, “Ouch! Let go of me!”
The shop assistants immediately bowed in fear and didn’t dare say a word when they saw who the person
was.
The chief designer of the brand came to the store in person, which was surprising.
Seeing that it was Vicky, Megan jumped up excitedly and said, “Honey, you’re back in Allath already! I thought you would arrive on the eve of the exhibition!”
Gilda smiled and said, “Long time no see.”
Vicky didn’t have time to say hello to her friends because she had to help them vent their anger first.
