Chapter 57 I think I should Give In
Helena’s reputation was in tatters.
The insults came in higher and harder bursts.
Some people called for money, others called the police …… Security guard asked clerk what she wanted to do with it?
The clerk cried, “Making too big a scene would not reflect well on the company and my job would suffer. I want her to apologise to me in public, admit she’s a robber and pay me the emotional damage.”
Helena finally spoke up, “How much?”
The clerk cried, “It can’t be less than the value of the ring! Because I almost died of shock just now! My life is worth 100, 000!”
Helena laughed: “You are a shop assistant, when you lost something from the counter, can you do your own private disposal?”
The clerk was speechless: ……
Helena: “Since when has a shop assistant’s authority become so great that he or she can take matters into their own hands without reporting to the company or calling the leader to appear?”
The clerk: ……
Helena: “The company’s property is in danger, you don’t report to the company, and you want to use the company’s property for your own personal benefit? You want to settle with me privately, sorry, I want to come to your rescue. Security, call the police.”
The people at the scene were confused: [She’s crazy! How dare she call the police herself when she was caught?]
The four girls were surprised, not at all expecting her to offer to call the police herself.
Panic flashed across Rebecca’s face: [You can’t call the police! She stomped on Helena, relying on dirty tactics. If the police are alerted, the police will go through the formal procedures and investigate clearly.]
The shop assistant took the hint and immediately stopped the security guard: “There’s no need to call the police, the company means they want me to sort it out myself.”
Helena wouldn’t agree: “You don’t want to call the police, I demand the police. When the police come, I will tell you with the truth that that woman is not me and that I have not touched this ring.”
The security guard did not know them and belonged to the neutral faction, serving the mall, and he helped Helena to call the police.
The police arrived shortly afterwards.
Helena stated two facts: “Firstly, I had not come to the jewellery area, and this woman was not me. Second, I was knocked down by a man when I was at the entrance of the stairs, and all the things in my bag were scattered on the floor, and it was the man who helped me pack my bag.”
The police rechecked the surveillance.
In front of them again, Helena brought the ring over and put it on the finger of her right hand.
None of her rings matched the size of the ring: “Why should I grab a ring that doesn’t fit my size?”
Ten seconds later, her ring finger swelled up at a rate visible and the skin around it flushed red.
The whole room was amazed, and Rebecca, not knowing what was going on, looked on in amazement.
Helena said, “I am allergic to white gold. When worn continuously for more than ten seconds, the skin will become red and swollen. When it swells up, the ring cannot be taken off. If you take the help of medication, it will take half an hour for the swelling to go down on my finger. You can check the surveillance, how long was the total time between the time the ring was snatched and when I came over again?”
Less than half an hour.
Her fingers weren’t swollen earlier either.
The woman on the monitor, however, took longer than ten minutes to try on the ring.
The police had checked all the surveillance.
Helena, who showed her face, did not come to the jewellery section.
The woman who came to the jewellery area was another woman of similar build to her.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman came in through the side door and went straight to the jewellery area. After running away, she handed the ring to a man, who in turn deliberately knocked over Helena and put the ring into Helena’s bag.
The police officer asked the clerk, “Are you still sure it was her now?”
The clerk swallowed and dodged her gaze, “Now that I look more closely, it does look different, maybe I was just too emotionally stressed or trying to retrieve the ring quickly, and I took that woman for her.”
Helena cleansed herself.
They stopped talking about her and started accusing the shop assistant of nonsense.
The security guard went to the pharmacy and bought medicine for her. She put on the medicine and waited for half an hour before the redness and swelling slowly began to subside. After the swelling had gone down, Helena took the ring out, and instead of returning it to the shop assistant, she handed it to the police.
In a serious tone, she said, “I am now reporting in my real name that the ‘Treasure Pearl’ shop is selling fake diamonds. This diamond is not worth one hundred thousand, it is moissanite, worth about four or five hundred, please file a case for examination.”
The whole room was again stunned.
Firstly, the shop assistant falsely accused the customer that the counter was in fact selling fake goods.
The clerk fell to the floor: [How could this happen? She was just trying to make some pocket money? How could this be a company secret? What should I do now? Should I reveal everything, or pretend I don’t know anything? No! I can’t pretend, otherwise ……]
The clerk suddenly shouted, “I’m innocent! I was forced to do it! Someone bribed me to set this young lady up. It’s not my business, it’s not my business. It’s ……”
Rebecca rushed over.
She pounced on the clerk and pinned her to the ground and beat her: “You have wronged my sister, I have not yet settled the score with you, and you dare to skirt it.” As she pulled the clerk’s hair, she deliberately lowered her head and said quickly in the clerk’s ear, “Don’t say anything, I’ll give you two hundred thousand.”
The shop assistant stopped talking.
No matter how much the police asked, she just cried and didn’t say a word.
The police took her away.
Instead of watching into Helena’s hilarity, Talia made a fool of herself and she was so angry that she left.
Rebecca walked at the end, and when she brushed shoulders with Helena, Helena whispered, “Next time, act more carefully and don’t reveal the bugs again for me to break through. Rebecca, go for it, you’re just a little bit closer to success.”
Rebecca hated the fact that instead of causing her to succeed, she had caused herself to lose 200, 000. She could never have dreamed that a jewellery designer would be allergic to white gold? What the hell! Damn it!
Next time.
Next time she would succeed, Helena, just wait and see!
Helena changed the mall and bought gifts, and called Joey again.
Joey was in a meeting, torturing. He was waiting for nothing now, just for Helena to come to his rescue. At this moment, when he saw Helena’s call, he almost jumped up in joy.
But he didn’t dare to answer the phone, so he cut off the call and switched to WeChat: [What is wrong?]
Helena: [What are Jasper’s plans for the evening?]
Joey: [He didn’t have a special plan at night. Just work late as usual, until two in the morning.]
Helena: [Are you guys off on time?]
Joey wanted to cry, they hadn’t left work on time for a long time and were tormented by Jasper, who worked overtime and they had to follow suit.
Now everyone in the company, both at the top and at the bottom, was wearing two large dark circles under their eyes.
Helena felt it difficult to deal with: [Can you ask the other people to leave, I want to go over to Jasper in the evening. I think I should give in to him after such a long cold war, otherwise he will be too humiliated.
