The people around them felt there was an inside story, so their opinions gradually changed.
The opulent restaurant housed wealthy diners. Many people could tell that Jocelyn's attire and accessories were all real deals from renowned brands by merely looking at her.
"Well, it looks like she is the shameless one. She wears only luxury brands. I'm sure she is from a wealthy family."
"I guess she is slandering the girl only to avoid paying the debt."
"Damn it! I didn't expect the situation would reverse."
Jocelyn felt a pang of regret. But she opened the wallet anyway that was stacked with money.
"Give it to me." With a faint smile, Janet stood up and took out the money from Jocelyn's wallet. She carefully counted the bills and neatly arranged them. "Eight thousand dollars is also money. Thank you, Miss Lind."
Jocelyn had nothing left now apart from her clothes and shoes. "Just wait and see!" she said through gritted teeth.
Janet smiled and put the necklace and the money into the Hermes Birkin. "Okay, Miss Lind. I'll wait for you to repay the debt next time."
With that, she stood up and waved at the receptionist. "Please give us a doggie bag so Miss Lind could put her phone and cosmetics in it."
Then, she turned around and flashed a sweet smile at Jocelyn. "You don't need to pay for the bag. It's on me."
Jocelyn almost tasted the blood as she gritted her teeth a little too hard. She would lose her mind if she stayed there longer.
Noticing that Janet was staring at her Chanel high-heeled shoes, Jocelyn feared that she would snatch them away from her and make her walk home barefoot. Therefore, she quickly took the things from her bag and walked out of the restaurant in a huff.
Seeing her leave, Janet sat down and began estimating the prices of the things she got from Jocelyn. The Hermes Kirkin alone was worth a lot of money.
A triumphant smile stretched across her lips.
She put away the things and looked up. Christopher was staring at her with wide eyes, holding the knife and fork in his hands.
Janet's face flushed with embarrassment. She looked at him and sighed. Her behavior now was against the impression of what he thought of her. But Janet was not a pushover.
