Abigail's got a bit of a quick fuse, and when she's riled up, she had to let it out, "You're talking rubbish, you're framing me!"
"Calm down, let me handle this." Cornelia grabbed hold of Abigail, facing the bossy security guard, she kept her cool, "What seems to be the problem?"
The security guard glanced at Natalia, and taking the hint from her, said, "We suspect you guys of nicking stuff from the shoppers here, we need to search you."
With a smirk, Cornelia retorted, "Search us? By what right?"
The guard didn’t care much about the law, he was just trying to curry favor with Natalia, not realizing they've got no right to search, "If you're not going to cooperate, then we'll have to take you to the security office."
Abigail, protected by Cornelia, jumped in front of her, "I'd like to see you try!"
Natalia strolled over, thinking she's got the upper hand, "If you're not letting us search, it just proves you're guilty!"
Cornelia looked around, there were cameras all over the place, any lies would be quickly exposed, "Ms. Reese, just because you're family owns this place doesn't mean you can make up stories about your customers."
The commotion had drawn a crowd, all with their phones out, initially wanting to capture a thief, but now, the cameras were on Natalia.
The rich kid taking advantage of her power to frame a customer, and the customer standing up for herself caught more attention.
Soon, people started to take Cornelia's side, demanding the mall to check the surveillance. More and more voices joined in.
With the strong demand from the public, the mall had no choice but to check the CCTV, proving Cornelia and Abigail's innocence.
