"You..."
But Sierra was fuming, and Wendy was clearly panicking.
How could this be? How could she know?
The crowd was getting restless, no one understanding what was going on.
"Wait, did the thief call the police themselves?"
"So the thief isn't her?"
"Must be, otherwise, is she nuts?"
"So, the bracelet she has is hers?"
"I guess so, but then who stole the bracelet?"
People were whispering among themselves, all eyes eventually landing on Wendy.
Though they found it hard to believe that Ms. Wendy could do such a thing, but...
Who knew?
Wendy had never been openly questioned like this, every stare like a knife piercing into her. She couldn't handle it.
Chloe's gaze swept over Wendy, her hand fondling the bracelet, "Ms. Wendy, you really can't remember?"
Wendy's eyes slightly shrank, her hands gripping her bag tightly.
Chloe raised her eyebrows, then shrugged.
"Well, can't do anything about that..."
Just as her words fell, the entrance became noisy, everyone gulped as they turned to look.
The police actually came!
Ms. Chloe wasn't just bluffing, but when did she...
Sierra couldn't believe her eyes, she didn't expect Chloe to actually call the police...
So, she... She wasn't a thief?
"Excuse me, which one of you is Ms. Chloe?"
Chloe smirked, raised her hand towards the uniformed officers, "That's me."
Wendy's face was even paler.
"Can you tell us what happened?" the police captain asked.
Chloe explained briefly, "Ms. Sierra lost her bracelet in the washroom. There were three people in there but only I was suspected. They even searched me publicly, then found my bracelet, which Ms. Sierra Melisa mistook as hers. I need to clear my name, officer."
The officer frowned, pondered for a while, then said, "If there were three people in the washroom, then the suspect shouldn't just be you. If you were searched, then the other two should be as well."
Chloe's eyes twinkled, "Thank you, officer."
"You're welcome."
The officer then directed the female officer they brought along.
"Hah..."
