The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 49

The man said those words flatly, but his voice was familiar to Autumn.

Autumn was surprised and stood still with a straight back. She didn't even dare turn her head around to look at him.

Yvonne and the salesgirl turned their heads to see who the man was. Wendy also did the same and when she saw him, she was surprised first and then sneered.

The man, with dark skin, wore a set of ETRO business suit. He looked like a well-dressed gentleman. He had a pair of bright piercing eyes and a calm expression glimmered in them. He also had a handsome, straight face, which made him look more aggressive.

Yvonne became jealous of Autumn again. She wondered how Autumn was so lucky to be helped by others whenever she got into trouble.

"Who are you?" Yvonne asked the man discontentedly. She believed that Autumn must be a bad woman who always hooked up with other men. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many men who were willing to try their best to help her.

"The evidence is here. And all of us present here are the witnesses." Yvonne got the people around involved in this matter and they all began to echo her words.

"Right. We saw that this lady tore the dress."

People always did things like these. They never saw things happening, but insisted on saying that they saw what happened.

Perhaps this was why the false rumours or messages were so easy to spread.

The man behind them got close to them and said to the woman who just spoke,"Did you personally see this lady tear the clothes?"

Before the woman got a chance to say anything, the man continued saying,"Think twice before you tell me anything. If you give false evidence, you will be liable for what you say."

"I..." The woman looked embarrassed and said with hesitation,"I didn't see it personally, but... they all saw what happened here. Since they say it is this lady's fault, I believe it to be true."

"So you mean to say that you didn't see it yourself." The man sneered and continued,"Does any one of you dare to admit that you personally saw the lady tear the clothes?"

The people around went silent. They didn't dare to speak anything because they feared that they might be held liable for their words.

The sales clerk began to get anxious as she realised that the situation was no longer in her favour. "Before I gave her this dress, it was in perfectly fine condition, but when I got it back, I found it to be torn. I would never damage it. And if she didn't damage it, who else did it?"

The salesgirl began to cry and said,"I don't have enough money to pay for this dress. It is costlier than my one month's salary. You can't bully me just because there are so many people on your side."

'This salesgirl is very good at gaining sympathy. She just now oppressed me by gathering the crowd, ' thought Autumn.

She frowned and didn't want others to help her get rid of the predicament, so she calmly walked up to the salesgirl and said,"It's not your fault for being a needy person, but you can't pretend to be a weak one only to seek pity from others. We all should be honest in our lives. Do you think you can remain guilt free all your life after you shift the blame to me? "

"Don't sling mud at me here." The salesgirl cried and said,"You damaged this dress. It has nothing to do with me."

"Then we can call the police." Autumn could afford the clothes, but she thought that she shouldn't give in to such a bad behaviour. If she paid for the clothes today, the salesgirl might do other unreasonable things in the future.

The salesgirl got anxious and upset the moment she heard that Autumn wanted to call the police. Since the whole thing happened under a security camera, the police would surely figure out that she told a lie.

She didn't want to call the police and Yvonne too was reluctant to do that.
