In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 669

“It’s not that easy. You just applied for it, and now you want to go through it again. To start the process again, they will ask for your identification to verify. The entire process itself will take another half a month.”

She had a point.

Nora grew anxious, then she looked at me and said, “Scarlett, listen to me. Let’s go and search every store’s trashcan. We might be able to find it.”

“Why the trashcans?” I asked, in puzzlement.

She thought for a while and said, “I can’t tell you now. Let’s go and search first.”

Having said that, she pulled me towards the store and began to look into the trashcans of every store. She even asked the storekeepers if they had changed the trash bag.

Although I did not understand what Nora meant, I went along with her.

“Found it!” After searching in a few stores, she finally found the documents in a trashcan. She exclaimed in delight, “I found it!”

I was stunned when I saw her retrieved the documents from the bottom of the trashcan.

Armond was just as surprised. Just like me, he never thought that the documents would be in the trashcan.

Nora handed the documents to me and said, “Look through it and see if there’s anything missing.”

Then she walked towards the storekeeper and raised her voice. “What’s wrong with you people? Why didn’t you keep the documents until the owner comes back for them? Why did you throw such important documents into the trashcan?”

The storekeeper was puzzled. She had seen us return to her store twice to look for it, and she was even more surprised that it was found in the trashcan.

She shook her head and said, “It wasn’t us who threw it in the trashcan. Besides, we’ve never seen these documents before. We have a surveillance camera, and if you’d like, you can view the footage yourself. We definitely won’t throw such important documents away.”

“I want to see the surveillance footage,” Nora said angrily. “Other than you guys, who else could have done such a thing?”

“Forget it, Nora. We have a plane to catch. Let’s go now.” All it mattered was that we found what we were looking for.

Stubborn as she always was, Nora insisted, “No. We must watch the surveillance footage.”

The poor, helpless storekeeper turned on the surveillance footage for us to watch. It was the only way for her to prove her innocence.

I glanced at Armond and said softly, “I’m sorry, but this may take a while.”

Armond smiled faintly and said, “That’s alright.”

Nora and a few of the storekeepers watched the surveillance footage together. After a brief moment, the storekeeper said, “See that? We didn’t throw the documents into the trashcan. You threw it yourselves.”

I froze and asked in confusion, “What?”
