Chapter 23 Apologize to Me
“I…” The waitress was flustered. She looked at Adela, showing a pleading look.
Adela gritted her teeth, staring at the waitress threateningly.
The waitress trembled and immediately knelt to Melissa.”I’m sorry, Ms. Eugen. Actually, I stole the ring,”
“Really?” Melissa curled her lips. Melissa did not believe her.
She was just a waitress. How could she have the guts to steal Adela’s ring and imputed it to Melissa?
Moreover, it is impossible for her to design such a perfect plan.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I stole Ms. Yale’s ring. Please forgive me. I didn’t do it on purpose. I won’t do it again.” The waitress cried bitterly.
Seeing the waitress admit all crimes, Adela sighed with relief.
“You stole my ring but why would my ring show in Melissa’s handbag?” Adela asked as if she had nothing to do with the waitress.
“At the very beginning, I planned to take it away after I got off work. But I didn’t expect Ms. Yale would find out it was gone and let the security guards search. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid the ring in Ms. Eugen’s handbag when no one was seeing.”
The waitress’s face was pale. “Please forgive me, I really didn’t do it on purpose. My mother is very ill and needs money for surgery.”
“Who told you to do so?” Melissa asked in a deep voice.
“No one taught me.” The waitress’s voice shook slightly. Her eyes filled with fear, turning to the direction of Adela.
Adela was afraid that Melissa would find out the truth. So she said, “Forget it. Since I’ve found the ring, I don’t want to blame you. After all, what you did is to save your mother.”
“Thank you, Ms. Yale. Thank you, Ms. Yale.” Tears brimmed in the waitress’s eyes.
“Why not? That was not what Ms. Yale said when she thought I was the thief,” Melissa smirked indifferently.
“The ring has been found. Adela would like to let it go. No more discussion.” Archer announced, stopping Melissa to embarrass Adela.
Adela waved her hand and let the director take the waitress away. She took the ring and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.” Melissa took a step forward in front of Adela.
Bullying is unacceptable for Melissa. She wouldn’t let the waitress leave easily and end the thing without any protesting.
“What do you want?” Adela looked at Melissa anxiously.
Melissa plastered a fake smile and said in a disdainful tone, “Ms. Yale, I don’t expect you to leave now. A moment ago, you accused me of stealing the ring and even wanted to send me to jail. Now that the truth has been revealed, shouldn’t you apologize to me?”
“You!” Adela was choked by Melissa’s word. Asking her to kill herself would be easier for Adele than apologizing to Melissa.
“Apologize to Melissa.”Murray said in a low and cold voice.
Murray had an intimidating glory that was making Adela afraid. His impact caused her to take a step back.
“Sorry, Melissa. It was my fault.” Adela clenched her fists.
“What are you saying? I didn’t hear you.” Melissa rubbed her ears.
Adela tried her best to press the anger and raised her voice. She gritted her teeth and spat out, “Sorry!”
After apologizing to Melissa, Adela turned to leave.
Archer cleared his throat before comforting Melissa, “Ms. Eugen, I’m really sorry. What happened was a mistake. It can’t be blamed on Adela. Don’t take it seriously.”
Melissa smiled to retort him, “I hope that next time, Mr. Yale will be able to find out clearly. Don’t listen to others blindly.”
Melissa’s words made Archer feel uncomfortable. He soon changed the topic. “Ms. Eugen, are your hands alright? How about I ask someone to send you to the hospital?”
“No. I’ll leave now.” After this night of torment, Melissa felt a little tired. She picked up her handbag and walked towards the gate.
She walked out and was about to take a taxi back when suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. It began to rain.
No way! Why was I so unlucky? Melissa thought.
She internally cringed because she didn’t bring an umbrella.
