"You’re a thief!" Lily Cooper shouted.
"Ma’am, you can’t just talk nonsense like that."
Faced with Lily Cooper’s struggle, Charlotte Thompson chose to let go of her hand. She took a step back, distancing herself from Lily Cooper.
"Talking nonsense? You clearly stole my bracelet. If I hadn’t noticed in ti, you’d have run off by now!"
Lily Cooper pointed unapologetically at Charlotte Thompson’s face, raising her voice further.
The argunt between Charlotte Thompson and Lily Cooper naturally attracted the attention of other people in the store.
Charlotte Thompson lowered her head to look at her palm, and upon hearing Lily Cooper’s words, her brows furrowed even tighter.
The store manager, summoned by the sales clerk, was also brought out at this ti. He quickly approached Lily Cooper and said respectfully:
"Miss Howard, what is happening here?"
Lily Cooper seed to be quite familiar with the manager. She crossed her arms and lifted her chin towards Charlotte Thompson.
"This woman stole my bracelet and intended to flee."
The commotion in the store finally attracted many passing custors to gather around.
Although those who could afford to shop here were wealthy, they were still curious about such a spectacle.
However, upon hearing Lily Cooper accuse Charlotte Thompson of stealing, the crowd added a touch of disdain to their glances at Charlotte Thompson.
"Grab her for ," Lily Cooper said as she shook her bright red fingernails, "Search her, and make sure to get my bracelet back!"
The manager, upon hearing Lily Cooper’s instructions, imdiately ordered the sales clerk behind him to surround and apprehend Charlotte Thompson.
"Is this how you treat custors?"
Charlotte Thompson’s icy deanor was palpable; she slowly uttered this sentence, which made the surrounding sales clerks pause their actions.
Charlotte Thompson stood there quietly, yet her aura was intimidating enough that no one dared to approach closely.
"Custors? You think you’re a custor? Only those who can afford to spend here are custors. You’re a thief and don’t belong here!"
Lily Cooper quickly retorted to Charlotte Thompson’s words and then showed a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, I knew it. How could soone as poor as you afford to shop here? I bet you’re just looking for rich people to steal from."
Lily Cooper’s words finally prompted the onlookers to start pointing fingers at Charlotte Thompson.
"She looks pretty, why is she doing such shaless things?"
"I bet she’s not just here to steal; maybe she’s hoping to hook up with soone wealthy!"
"We don’t even know what’s really happening. Don’t make such harsh assumptions, okay? And honestly, judging by her outfit, she’s not soone who would do such things."
"Maybe she bought the clothes sowhere? And besides, she doesn’t even have accessories or a bag, how could she be wealthy?"
"But sohow, I feel her clothes look quite expensive, and the style is really nice."
The whispers of the surrounding crowd fell into Charlotte Thompson’s ears, but instead of anger, she felt a sense of helplessness.
Then, Charlotte Thompson let her hand fall, and as her wrist brushed against the hem of her clothes, it seed to touch sothing, which made her eyes flicker briefly.
