Chapter 28


    “What happened?” Skr asked with urgency.


    Janine had always been kind and warm. She could get along with anyone, anywhere.


    Skr knew that and wondered what had caused the receptionist to suddenly frown.


    “Your mother was cleaning the elevator. She got into an argument with a guest who was going to


    the restaurant on the 36th floor for a meal. The guest has lodged aint against our hotel.”


    The receptionist was panicking a little. She exined things to Skr while also dialing the


    manager’s


    number.


    Jubnce Hotel had always valued customer service, so they tookints seriously.


    Although Janine had only been there here for a month, she was on great terms with her colleagues.


    They liked the Janine a lot and thought she was friendly.


    Yet, now that theint had been lodged, no one knew how the manager would handle the


    situation.


    Skr immediately followed the receptionist into the elevator and onto the tenth floor. She heard an


    ongoing conversation inside the hotel’s offices before entering the space.


    “You must be strict when dealing with this woman. We can look past her being rude to hotel guests


    in the


    elevator, but how dare she hit my mother?” said one of the guests.


    Then, the other guest joined in. “My diamond ring, worth hundreds of thousands of dors, is


    missing. Only three of us were in the elevator, so this woman must’ve stolen it! I demand that you


    search her now!”


    “You’re going too far, Sadie! I would never steal from someone. Plus, you were the one who beat


    me first. I was only defending myself! Janine challenged.


    Skr halted once she heard the familiar voices. They belonged to Maisy and Sadie.


    She hadn’t seen the two of them since she’d left the hospital that day.


    Skr had seen Maisy and Christopher on a date from afar when she’d bought her car. However,


    she’d


    never encountered them face to face.


    Skr listened to the mother–daughter pair hurling aggressive usations at Janine. She pursed


    her lips and clenched her fists, suppressing her fiery hatred as she rushed toward the office.


    “Janine, apologize to the guest and allow us to perform a body search as the guest requested. The


    manager immediately dealt with Janine once he arrived.


    Janine had never imagined the manager would push all the me onto her without trying to learn


    the


    truth.

    “If you fail to find my ring. I’ll get the media to expose your hotel for having staff with tendencies to


    steal things.” Sadie carried herself with a condescending, arrogant demeanor.


    Chapter 20.


    She wanted Janine to know the difference between their social sses. Since Janine hadn’t


    educated Skr well enough, Sadie had taken it upon herself to teach Janine a lesson.


    Maisy, who stood aside, looked down on Janine even more now that she knew Janine worked as a


    hotel housekeeper.


    At the same time, she became even more determined not to return to Janine’s side.


    Maisy


    her.


    refused to have a housekeeper for a mother. If her friends found out about it, they’d surely mock


    Janine saw Maisy’s indifference and how she’d joined forces with Sadie to frame her. Her initial


    motherly love and guilt toward Maisy vanished at once.


    Her eyes reddened as she held her ground in front of the manager. “What they said isn’t the truth.


    They’re framing me!”


    “You should apologize first.” The manager didn’t believe Janine’s words. He only focused on Maisy


    and Sadie, who donned branded clothing pieces from head to toe.


    “I…” Janine’s fists balled. No matter how miserable she’d been, she’d never cried a single tear


    since Finn’s


    death.


    Yet, the shame she felt from being framed now reddened her eyes.


    in the elevator. If I call the police now, they’ll investigate the surveince footage at once.” Skr’s


    cold eyes snapped toward Sadie and Maisy.


    “You two are the ones who should apologize. There are surveince cameras t


    She had witnessed many of their schemes. Now that she’d crossed paths with them again, she still


    found them as hideous and beastly as ever. It didn’t matter that they dressed up nicely.


    “Skyel” Janine was surprised to see Skr.


    Skr approached Janine’s side. “Mom, they aren’t legally allowed to perform a full body search,


    even if


    you’re their employee.”


    “Do you know what you’re saying, Skye?” Sadie questioned angrily.


    “Skr, we haven’t seen you in days. Yet, the first thing you do when you show yourself is upset


    Mom? Aren’t you going a little too far?” Maisy sneered with an using tone as she eyed Skr


    from head to


    toe with disdain.


    She assumed Skr had been hiding somewhere since she hadn’t seen thetter in days.


    Not only that, but she also firmly believed Skr must have been drowning in tears every day and


    had possibly be depressed or haggard.
