Chapter 22
Skr Hond 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 Hond, this person is a thief. Stay away from her."
The za manager exined hurriedly.
The people around were all famous socialites. As the golden bachelor of A City, Skr Hond was
naturally well-known by everyone.
"This is Skr Hond, 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 eximed.
The notable socialites were all busy talking among themselves.
Alison stood among them. As the only person who knew the rtionship between Coralie and Skr,
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?" Skr frowned, looked up at the za manager and asked, "What did she steal?"
The za manager quickly took out the diamond ne and handed it to Skr. "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 exined.
"I didn''t! I didn''t touch this belt from the beginning to the end." Coralie heard the za manager
ndering herself and immediately retorted, "I said this from the beginning."
For some reason, with Skr next to her, Coralie felt that she had the strength to refute the
usations.
"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 za 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 nce, 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 Skr.
The woman beside him was full of grievance and unwillingness.
Skr eyes shed slightly, and he looked at the za manager with coldness in his eyes. "That is to
say, there is no evidence?"
"Evidence? President Hond, this belt is the evidence. I found it in her bag myself." the manager
rified.
In fact, at this time, the za manager also felt confused. "As the president of Hond Group, why is
he wasting his time on such trivial matters?" she thought.
"Go get the surveince footage. I believe that there should be such footage avable for such arge
shopping mall."
Skr proposed.
"President Hond, 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 za manager was not willing to go to the surveince room, because it was far away and it was
too troublesome to go there.
Hearing her words, Skr stretched out his long arm and took Coralie into his arms. "The distribution
rights of the S Brand belongs to Hond Group. Is Mrs. Hond likely to steal something that belongs to
her own family?"
All the people present were dumbfounded by his words.
The za manager''s face was pallid now. "President Hond, please don''t joke around. This thief, no,
how could this woman be Mrs. Hond?"
"Otherwise, how should Mrs. Hond look like?"
Skr 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.
The za manager looked at Coralie in Skr''s arms and hesitated.
After all, in her opinion, the woman who could bear the name of Mrs. Hond should naturally be
covered in luxury products. Valentino shoes, Hermès handbags, Chanel or Dior outfits were expected.
In terms of character, she should be arrogant and domineering. As the woman of Skr Hond, she
could even be supercilious.
But the woman here not only did not meet the manager''s expectations, she was far from it.
"Go get the surveince footage."
Skr ordered.
"Yes, yes." the staff replied.
A group of people rushed to the sureveince room.
Of all the socialites who were there bickering, only Alison Herman left the scene quietly.
When the staff saw the surveince, it was clear what had really happened.
From the beginning to the end, Coralie only stood next to the dress for a short moment. After that, she
never got close to the dress let alone touch it.
On the contrary, another person on the screen went to try on the dress, and then proceeded to pick up
another dress for Coralie. It was very clear that the other woman threw the belt into Coralie''s bag when
she snatched it from Coralie.
The za manager was watching at the side, and her face was getting pale.
"using someone without any evidence. Is that the standard of your shopping mall?" Skr grunted.
His face was horribly cold, and he held Coralie''s shoulder tighter.
The za manager immediately said to Coralie with respect, "I''m sorry, Mrs. Hond. I did not
understand the situation fully and caused you trouble."
She bowed deeply as an apology.
"We will not ept an apology. I will personally talk to President Garth about this." Skr responded.
He did not intend to let the manager off the hook.
This shopping mall belonged to another big family in A City, the Garth family.
"President Hond, I really am sorry." the manager apologised profusely.
Upon hearing that Skr was going to contact the big boss, the za manager was wretched with fear.
"Take me to the store which carries products from S brand." Skr lowered his head and said to
Coralie , who was in his arms.
"I, I''ll take you there." the manager said.
The za manager immediately took the initiative to be proactive, hoping that she could make up for
her mistake. After all, this stupid incident was initially caused by the loss of items from the shop. But
from the beginning, the shop assistant had not appeared.
The three of them arrived at the door. The shop assistant was leaning against the store and ying
with her mobile phone. When she looked up, she first saw Coralie. She said disdainfully, "If you can''t
afford it, don''t look shop here. It''s a waste of my time."
"What did you just say?" the manager snapped.
When the za manager saw the attitude of the shop assistant, she went up angrily and grabbed the
shop assistant''s mobile phone. The shop assistant was causing her more trouble. Skr was angry
because the manager had wronged his wife. Now the shop assistant''s attitude had revealed that
Coralie must have been bullied in this store just now.
"Oh, manager, I didn''t say anything. She just came to see these clothes several times but didn''t buy
anything! I am just referring to that," the shop assistant defended herself.
The shop assistant did not dare to ask for the phone that was taken away. She looked up and saw
Skr. At first, she did not recognize who it was, but at a nce, she knew that it was a rich man.
When she saw Skr holding Coralie in his arms, she immediately had a bad feeling about this.
"You can leave now."
Skr ordered. Listening to what the shop assistant said just now, he felt his temper was rising.
"Mister, I don''t think so. The distributing rights of our brand belongs Hond Group, only President
Hond has the power to give such orders."
The shop assistant smiled obsequiously, and her n was to use the name of President Hond to
pressure others.
In fact, all the store assistants would be trained by the Hond Group first before working here .
When the za manager heard the shop assistant''s words, she was enraged. "Do you not have eyes?
This is President Hond!" she stressed.
The shop assistant was not afraid at first, but upon hearing what the za manager said, her legs
suddenly went weak...N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
