The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928 

Upon hearing these words, the manager was taken aback and immediately started barking at the two sales associates next to him, “Shut it, what the heck are you two blabbering about?” 

The two of them pouted, shooting each other a look before turning back to the manager with an expression of contempt and disdain, “Anyways, Coco always uses the night shift as an excuse to come in at 10 AM and leaves early in the afternoon. You may be her relative, but you need to consider our feelings too. We used to be too scared to cross your family, but now that the boss is here, we have to voice our concerns!” 

“You…” The manager was so angry his eyes were bulging out, looking as if he was about to slap someone. 

“Don’t go stirring up trouble! When has Coco ever failed to show up for her night shift? We live together, I know when she gets home.” The consultant, seeing Coco being slandered, felt protective and started retaliating without holding back. 

The store clerk gave a cold laugh and said, “We’re not talking about the past, but just last night. Coco was supposed to work the night shift and Laura the morning shift, right? But in reality, it was Laura working last night, and she was filling in for Coco!” 

“What nonsense are you spouting! You are downright opportunistic!” The consultant looked incredibly furious, pointing at them. 

“You don’t believe us? The sales record from last night is right here, along with Ms. Alonso’s own signature, proving that Coco wasn’t the one working last night!” Coco looked a bit flustered and quickly interjected, “Laura has financial issues, I put her name down so she could get a bigger commission, aren’t you?” 

“Alright, since you admit it’s your doing, tell us what Ms. Alonso said yesterday?” 

Coco was taken aback, “What could she have said? She liked it, tried it on.” 

The colleague glared at her before turning to Laura, “Laura, you tell us!” 

Laura seemed hesitant, but the colleague forcefully tugged at her clothes, “Laura, why are you hesitating? In the past, whenever there were customers, Coco would hog them all for herself, getting the biggest commission every month! If it weren’t for her favoritism, would you need to work overtime for more money? Let the past be the past, now that you have someone backing you up, what are you afraid of?!” 

Laura bit her lip, hesitated for a while, took a deep breath. She finally spoke under the watchful eyes of Coco, the manager, and the consultant, “I did indeed cover Coco’s night shift last night. In fact, I’ve been doing her shifts for a while because I wanted to earn more. Daytime sales aren’t high, so I had to work more at night!” 

The consultant looked incredibly angry, her eyes almost popping out, “Laura, you seem so obedient, I can’t believe you’re so ruthless! Your behavior is like kicking someone when they’re down!” 

-Laura looked at the consultant, her eyes not filled with anger but sympathy, “If you don’t believe me, I can tell you what Ms. Alonso said last night. She told me when she bought the jewelry that she had a very important dinner tonight. Since she had received a beautiful evening gown yesterday, she wanted to find an equally beautiful piece of jewelry to match the dress.” 

Before Laura could finish, Chloe chuckled, glanced at Coco, and turned to the manager, “I can vouch for that, I went shopping with her yesterday.” The color drained from their faces upon hearing this. 

Chloe gave a slight smile, feeling incredibly satisfied. This farce had explained the expression on Wendy’s face earlier. 

The consultant refused to believe Laura’s words, “I don’t believe it, Coco has always been honest. She always told me she was working the night shift! I won’t believe your lies. You’re trying to smear our family, and I won’t allow it. Bring out the CCTV footage, we’ll see the truth then!” 

A store employee gave a cold laugh, looking at the consultant with a mix of anger and helplessness, “If there were CCTV footage, don’t you think we would’ve thought of that? Would we need to have this public confrontation? The CCTV footage has been deleted! As for who has the capability, you probably know without us saying. 

“Also, all of Coco’s night shift sales records were handled by Laura. This has been going on for months. You only knew that with your help, her salary and commission were the highest. But have you ever looked at the sales records? I bet the manager never let you see. Haven’t you realized? Has the manager’s workload suddenly increased over the past few months? Like coming home late at night? Or did he go home with Coco? 

“Yet Coco hasn’t been working the night shift for months, what exactly was she doing coming home so late?” 

At this point, even the densest person would understand. 

The consultant’s face was still filled with anger and had turned pale, her gaze flickering between Coco and the manager, who were as pale as sheets, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.
