Chapter 567: Stand Up, Don’t Kneel! I’ll Get Justice for You!
As Felicia approached the wealthy Mrs. Sutton, no one at the scene noticed the subtle change in Felicia’s eyes except for Jun, who was not far away.
Felicia’s pupils seemed like two whirlpools, spinning continuously as if she was using some kind of mental attack.
Jun, noticing this, frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected Felicia to not only be skilled in martial arts but also to possess hypnotic abilities.
At that moment, Mrs. Sutton, meeting Felicia’s gaze, seemed to lose her soul and staggered uncontrollably to the side.
Simultaneously, a voice inexplicably echoed in Mrs. Sutton’s mind.
The gist of it was…NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Your earrings are in your jacket pocket. Now, you feel an urgent need to use the restroom. Go immediately and hide your earrings on your body. Make sure no one finds them, or you’ll be in big trouble!”
When Mrs. Sutton came to her senses, Felicia had already reached her side and asked with feigned concern.
“Mrs. Sutton, are you alright? Is something wrong?”
As she spoke, Felicia discreetly slipped Mrs. Sutton’s earrings into her jacket pocket.
Mrs. Sutton, regaining her composure, awkwardly replied to Felicia.
“Thank you for your concern, young lady. I’m fine, just a bit… uncomfortable. I need to use the restroom.”
Felicia smiled.
“No problem, go ahead. I’ll keep an eye on Lorelei Harding for you. She won’t get away.”
Mrs. Sutton didn’t look at Felicia again but shot a vicious glance at Lorelei.
She threatened, “Wait, you little wretch. Once I’m back from the restroom, I’ll deal with you. Don’t think this is over just because the earrings aren’t in your pocket! Who knows where you’ve hidden them!”
With that, Mrs. Sutton hurriedly ran towards the restroom, looking desperate.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
Why did Mrs. Sutton suddenly need to use the restroom?
At that moment, Kenelm, a male attendant, stepped forward and grabbed Lorelei by the collar, demanding harshly.
“Tell me! Where did you hide Mrs. Sutton’s earrings?”
Lorelei was at a loss.
She wanted to know where the earrings went too. They were clearly in her jacket pocket just a moment ago; how could they disappear in the blink of an eye?
Before Lorelei could respond, Felicia smiled and said to Kenelm.
“Hey, don’t be so harsh. The owner is in the restroom now. Let’s wait until she comes back before jumping to conclusions. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Kenelm, seeing that Felicia was a guest and wearing an expensive dress, reluctantly let go of Lorelei’s collar and snorted coldly.
“I’m just worried this wretch will ruin our store’s reputation! A single bad apple spoils the whole bunch! How dare she steal Mrs. Sutton’s earrings? She must have a death wish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several malicious women around them started chiming in with sarcastic remarks.
“Stealing someone’s earrings is one thing; the law will deal with that. But stealing someone’s man? That’s a matter of character!”
“Exactly! How can such a despicable woman exist? Stealing someone’s man and their belongings too!”
“Women from poor families are just born lowly! They never learn anything good!”
Each word pierced Lorelei’s ears like a thousand needles.
She cried out.
“I didn’t steal any man! I didn’t steal any earrings either! Mrs. Sutton is framing me!”
Kenelm sneered.
“Whether you stole them or not will be determined when Mrs. Sutton returns from the restroom! And let me tell you, don’t think Mrs. Sutton is easy to deal with. Her brother is a rising star in South Capital, and her husband is a well-known businessman in this area. If Mrs. Sutton targets you, you’re done for!”
“Moreover, why did Mrs. Sutton’s husband target you? Isn’t it because you borrowed money from his private lending company for your paralyzed family member? You couldn’t repay the loan and now you’ve stolen Mrs. Sutton’s jewelry! What should I say about you?”
“If your family is poor, you should accept your fate! You’re only worth something because of your looks; otherwise, no one could save you!”
Hearing Kenelm’s words, Lorelei seemed to understand something.
Her face turned ashen with despair.
Because Kenelm was right; although Lorelei had nothing to do with Mrs. Sutton’s husband, she had indeed borrowed money from his private lending company. Although it wasn’t much, the interest had accumulated to a frightening amount!
Now, Mrs. Sutton had set her up!
Judging by the situation earlier, she would have to write an IOU for 300, 000 yuan before Mrs. Sutton would let her go!
Once she wrote that IOU, her fate would be sealed!
Thinking this, tears streamed down Lorelei’s face.
At that moment, Jun, who had been standing not far away, suddenly walked over.
Seeing Jun approach, Felicia smiled and walked over casually, whispering.
“Master, it’s done!”
Jun’s face showed a hint of curiosity as he whispered back.
“You used hypnotic techniques on Mrs. Sutton?”
Felicia pouted without answering directly but whispered.
“The earrings should already be on Mrs. Sutton’s body. As for what embarrassment she’ll face next, just wait and see; I guarantee it’ll be unforgettable for her!”
At that moment, Mrs. Sutton returned from the restroom.
As she walked over, her expression became increasingly puzzled.
Just now…
What was she doing?
Why couldn’t she remember?
Why did she go to the restroom?
What did she do in there?
Strange!
While Mrs. Sutton was still puzzled, Lorelei suddenly crawled towards her and begged humbly.
“Mrs. Sutton, please forgive me! I really didn’t steal your earrings! Please stop targeting me! I’m scared! I’m really scared! I have a sick person at home; I can’t handle this torment anymore!”
“Please forgive me! I’m begging you; I’m just an ordinary person who wants to live a peaceful life! Please let me go!”
As she spoke, Lorelei not only kowtowed to Mrs. Sutton but also to her colleague Kenelm!
Mrs. Sutton and Kenelm remained unmoved; especially Mrs. Sutton who walked up to Lorelei and raised her hand to slap her!
“Now you know how to beg? Too late!”
But before she could strike, her hand was firmly grasped by someone.
And that person was none other than Jun.
“You… who are you? How dare you stop me from teaching this lowly woman a lesson?!”
Jun ignored Mrs. Sutton and instead spoke to the kneeling Lorelei.
“Stand up; don’t kneel. I’ll get justice for you!”
