Skylar Holland ignored the manager and walked up to Coralie Chariott. He pulled her up with one hand and let her stand beside him. He lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
His voice was neither warm nor indifferent.
"President Holland, this person is a thief. Stay away from her."
The plaza manager explained hurriedly.
The people around were all famous socialites. As the golden bachelor of A City, Skylar Holland was naturally well-known by everyone.
"This is Skylar Holland, isn't it?" a socialite gasped.
"He's so handsome. Why is he here?" another socialite said.
"Oh my god, if I wasn't married, I would marry him." another socialite exclaimed.
The notable socialites were all busy talking among themselves.
Alison stood among them. As the only person who knew the relationship between Coralie and Skylar, she was not in a hurry to speak, but chose to see what will happen next.
She did not believe that if Coralie is convicted of being a thief, that he would still be fond of her.
"A thief?" Skylar frowned, looked up at the plaza manager and asked, "What did she steal?"
The plaza manager quickly took out the diamond necklace and handed it to Skylar. "This is it. This is a belt from a dress at S Brand. This woman likes it, but she can't afford it, so she stole the belt of the dress." the manager explained.
"I didn't! I didn't touch this belt from the beginning to the end." Coralie heard the plaza manager slandering herself and immediately retorted, "I said this from the beginning."
For some reason, with Skylar next to her, Coralie felt that she had the strength to refute the accusations.
"Why are you still denying this? Didn't people say that they've witnessed you stealing it? It is obvious that you have no money. What else can you do in such a shopping mall except stealing?" the manager said.
The plaza manager was also irked.
She had been a manager in this shopping mall for a long time. Every day, she had seen famous socialites, celebrities strolling around here. She could easily tell the wealthy from the ordinary.
At a glance, she could tell that Coralie wasn't just ordinary, she had no money at all.
Therefore, she was convinced that Coralie was a thief.
"Somebody caught her stealing?" asked Skylar.
The woman beside him was full of grievance and unwillingness.
Skylar eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at the plaza manager with coldness in his eyes. "That is to say, there is no evidence?"
"Evidence? President Holland, this belt is the evidence. I found it in her bag myself." the manager clarified.
In fact, at this time, the plaza manager also felt confused. "As the president of Holland Group, why is he wasting his time on such trivial matters?" she thought.
"Go get the surveillance footage. I believe that there should be such footage available for such a large shopping mall."
Skylar proposed.
"President Holland, There's no need for such trouble. We have called the police. Now we have both the stolen goods and the thief. Let the police take her away directly."
The plaza manager was not willing to go to the surveillance room, because it was far away and it was too troublesome to go there.
Hearing her words, Skylar stretched out his long arm and took Coralie into his arms. "The distribution rights of the S Brand belongs to Holland Group. Is Mrs. Holland likely to steal something that belongs to her own family?"
All the people present were dumbfounded by his words.
The plaza manager's face was pallid now. "President Holland, please don't joke around. This thief, no, how could this woman be Mrs. Holland?"
"Otherwise, how should Mrs. Holland look like?"
Skylar retorted.
Coralie was in his arms, her shoulders leaning against his firm chest. His faint cologne was very pleasant.
At this time, she actually felt her heart pounding, just like the feeling she had when she was with him in the past.
"This..." the manager stuttered.
