Alex talked to the staff and gained access to the camera footage of the store.

From what they saw, Auriel was really not the culprit. The two women were picking lipsticks when Auriel came in and stood behind them, waiting. She did not even come close to their handbags, 

After about ten minutes, a slender teenager in full black came into the store. 

His movement was quick and suspicious. Not even the lady at the door saw him coming in. He sneaked in and approached the three women. 

He came as close as some three inches near them, but Auriel did not realize he was there at all. 

Auriel was taken aback by looking at the camera footage. It was so careless of her not to notice the man was right behind her. 

She could have died if the man wanted her dead. Thankfully, the man only stole their belongings. 

Auriel was someone trained and skilled in self-defense. She was supposed to have a keener sense than regular people, yet everything went unnoticed. 

The young man stood near them naturally, as if he was their friend. That was when he reached into their pockets and took the money and keys. 

Now that the truth was laid bare, the two women could not bring themselves to look at Auriel in the eyes. 

“So, you guys wrongly accused her. What about an apology?” Alex said coldly. 

The woman with a swollen face was disgruntled. “It’s true that we’re at the wrong, but she also hit me. We should call it even,” she responded, rubbing her face. 

There was no way the woman would allow Auriel and Alex to take advantage of the situation. 

Auriel flexed her fists in front of the woman. “I slapped you because you deserved it after all the nasty things you said to me, but that doesn’t change the fact that you blamed me for something I did not do. I’m still waiting for an apology.” 

The woman was traumatized by what happened. She took two steps back and hid behind her friend. “All right, fine. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have accused you without any evidence.” 

While Auriel was settling her score with the women. Alex’s expression changed. He suddenly thought of something and took out the box where he kept his snapdragon. 

He wanted to test if they really had any miraculous effects, but when he opened the box, it was gone. Auriel spotted his change in color and asked curiously, “What is it, Mr. Jefferson? You don’t look good.” “My snapdragon is gone! It cost me one hundred million!” 

Alex was confident he kept the snapdragon safe. He simply could not believe that someone stole it from him from under his nose.

It was then that it dawned upon him that the thief was no small fry. 

Just who is this man? 

I have to get my hands on him.
