A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 67 Acting

"How dare you do that! Do you think we're just going to let you go without any punishment?" Mandy sneered at Sherry. "I found this in your room. I even have Terence as a witness. It is a Cartier watch which costs more than one hundred thousand. Since you are just a mere servant, you obviously can't afford such a thing."

A contemptuous expression painted Mandy's face. "You had stolen many of Jean's belongings, and she didn't say anything. However, this watch was given to her by her father. We cannot tolerate such disrespect any longer!" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Tracy looked at Jean timidly. It was already apparent for her that Mandy was a tough nut. Ever since Mandy hit her yesterday, Tracy's heart was filled with fear towards the tyrant. Nonetheless, her best friend, Sherry, was in trouble. Tracy took the courage to approach Jean. "Miss Gu, there must be some misunderstanding. Sherry is nothing like that. A kind girl like her would never do such shady things."

"Well, looks can be deceiving. This little bitch is just pulling the wool over your eyes!" Mandy retorted with a cold stare.

"What the hell do you want?" Sherry looked at Mandy furiously. She already knew that she would't be acquitted any time soon. As such, she had no intention of hiding her emotions. "You're the one who put this watch in my room. Then, you search it in front of Mr. Chen. You must have a purpose, right? Why would you do such a thing? Tell me what you want!"

"Take a look at this servant." Mandy was furious. "How dare she speak to me like this! It must be very terrible for Jean to live with someone like her. She must have bullied Jean a lot!"

Sherry was trembling with desperation and anger. It was apparent that Mandy was lying to everyone. "We have treated Miss Gu well after she moved in. I don't understand. I'm just a mere servant. Why would you go to such trouble just to frame me? If you don't like me, just tell it straight away. We will quit immediately. There's no need for you to drive me away."

"Sherry..." Terence frowned. It was clear to him that Sherry didn't like Jean. "Auntie told me that you and Jean did not get along rather well. Is that true?"

"Mr. Chen." Sherry frowned as her pitiful eyes looked at Terence. "You already know the answer to that question. There's no need for you to ask something like that. Ever since Miss Gu came here, we have been polite towards her. Nonetheless, I can't understand why she would do this to me. Even though I am a servant, it doesn't mean that I am inferior to her. I did not steal that watch. I am not a thief!"

"Tracy!" Terence's cold eyes turned to Tracy. "If that was the case, then explain to us how Jean's hand got hurt."

"I..." Tracy timidly looked at Terence. Nervousness was apparent in her expression. "It was my fault to spill tea on her hand. However, I already apologized."

"Apologized? Are you crazy? Can your apology heal her hand? What use are mere words?" Mandy's face grew even more contemptuous. "If everything can be settled with mere apologies, there would be no need for policemen."

"Miss Gu..." Tracy was a clumsy speaker. Tears began to build up in her eyes as she turned around in embarrassment. Then, she looked towards Jean as she wanted to ask for help. Unexpectedly, Jean bowed her head. It was evident that Jean had no intention of helping Tracy.

It was only then that Tracy realized that they had worked together to frame her.

Terence looked at them coldly. In a low voice, he said, "Sherry, Tracy, you two have been with the Chen family for quite some time. I chose you because I thought you were honest and kind. However, I didn't expect that you would do such a thing. I can't forgive such horrendous acts!"

"Mr. Chen, please listen to us. It's not true!" Tracy's tears started to fall. "Before I let go of the tea, I was sure that Miss Gu had a firm hold of it. But then, for some reason, it..."

"Are you telling me that Jean is trying to frame you?" Terence asked in a cold voice. "Why would she hurt herself just to frame you?"

"I..." Humiliation crept deeper into Tracy's heart. Although she wanted to say something, she didn't know how to say it.

A scornful laugh suddenly escaped Sherry's lips. Then, she pulled Tracy closer and said to Terence, "Since you have already assumed that we are that kind of people, there's nothing more to explain. To be honest, I already wanted to resign after Mrs. Chen left. Finally, I have a chance. I won't work here anymore!"

After her bold declaration, Sherry turned around. As she approached the door, she said, "Mr. Chen, it seems you need to hire other people to serve Miss Gu. I'm afraid we can't serve her anymore."

"Stop!" Mandy immediately halted their exit. Sherry was just about to leave with Tracy. Additionally, the rest of the staff also quit their jobs. However, Mandy refused to give up. She continued, "You have stolen Jean's things. Do you think we're just going to let you go so easily?"

"What else do you want to happen? Do you want to call the police?" Sherry gave a cold smile. "That's not a problem for me. Whatever you are plotting, I will never admit something that I haven't done. Additionally, the police can help clear my name. I would prefer it if the police were to investigate!"

She sneered with disgust. Then, she looked at Jean. "However, I advise you to think twice. How did you manage to put the watch in my room? If they examine the fingerprints on the watch, I'm sure the truth would be revealed."

Immediately, an expression of panic was revealed in Jean's face. She had thought that Sherry would be scared out of her wits after being framed. Unfortunately, Sherry was composed during the argument. Jean did not expect such a reaction from Sherry.

Mandy revealed an irritated yet boastful face. "Fine! I'll call the police."

Immediately, she took out her phone. She was about to call the police, but she was suddenly stopped by Jean.

"Come on. There's no need to call the police." Finally, Jean was able to calm down. "Now that I've found the watch, I won't hold you accountable. I'll let this one slide. However, don't do this ever again. You should find another employer. Not everyone is as lenient as we are."

"Oh, don't worry about us." Sherry looked back at Jean with eyes full of hatred. "Not everyone is as heartless as you. A good person will never try to frame a mere servant."

As soon as Sherry finished her words, Jean stared daggers at her. Nonetheless, she decided to ignore Jean's rude behavior. She turned to Terence, who was sitting in the middle. "Mr. Chen, may we leave now?"

Although he was quiet, Terence nodded his head. He also felt suspicious after hearing Sherry's words. But he refused to believe that Jean was such a woman.

Even though Sherry and others had left, Mandy still didn't want to let them off the hook. Mandy insisted that she should call the police. However, Jean disagreed and said, "Mom, do you think that it will work if you call the police?"

"It will be useless. At least, I will let Sherry know our power and influence. She will never do it again!" Mandy's eyes were filled with hatred.
