You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 21

...

"In that case, I'll buy it. Sister Corrie, will you be angry?" Alison looked at the dress on her and no

matter how many times she looked at it, she liked it very much. She took the dress and handed it to

Coralie . "Sister Corrie, why don't you try it on and take a picture for your husband. If he likes it, he

might just buy it for you?" she said.

"There's no need." Coralie replied.

The shop assistant's attitude toward her was so rude. Coralie would rather not buy it than let the shop

assistant take the commission.

"Sister Corrie, your husband is so rich. Don't tell me he didn't give you money, did he? Look, Howard is

not as rich as your husband, but he still gave me his credit card and let me use it however I like." said

Alison.

At this time, Alison had already come out of the dressing room and changed into her own dress, but

she still had no intention of letting Coralie go.

"As long as you spend it happily." Alison added.

Coralie remembered that in the past, Howard had never given her a credit card, let alone buying her

clothes.

For the past three years, the marriage was in vain. She did not know that Howard was so rich that

Alison could afford to buy a dress worth more than 10,000 dollars.

Alison was not happy. She reached out to grab the bag from Coralie's hand, and insisted "Sister Corrie,

why don't you try it on? I think you will look good in this. You can try it on, it is free to try anyway."

The shop assistant was very unwilling, but since Alison said so, she did not want to offend her.

After all, Alison was the one who said that she wanted to buy the dress.

"I won't try it on." Coralie asserted.

Coralie snatched her bag back from Alison. She could feel that the shop assistant looked down on her

and did not want her to try on the dress.

There was no need for her to make fun of herself.

"Sister Corrie, when you got your marriage certificate a while ago, weren't you acting arrogantly. What's

wrong now? Could it be that your husband is worse than Howard. He can't even afford a dress, can

he?" said Alison.

"Ha, as long as you're happy." she added.

Coralie really did not want to continue talking nonsense with Alison. She kept trying to show off that

Howard loved her more.

But Alison did not know that Coralie had already got over Howard. After all, it was not too late for her to

make up for the four years that she wasted on him.

Coralie continued wandering around, from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor.

Other shops also had decent gowns, but it was slightly inferior to the one worth 12,000 dollars.

Coralie looked at her watch and thought that it was still early. It was better to go to the shopping mall

next to her to see if there was a suitable one.

This was a shopping district. Although the shopping mall next to this mall was not as luxurious as this

one, it did not hurt to check it out.

"Beep, beep, beep."

When Coralie was about to walk out of the shopping mall with her bag, the alarm on both sides of the

shopping mall rang.

Soon, two security guards came over and stopped her.

After a while, the manager of the shopping mall came over and said to her, "Excuse me, madam, we

need to check your bag."

Although her tone was polite and her expression was calm, Coralie could feel that the manager was

sure that there was something that did not belong to Coralie in her bag.

"Okay," replied Coralie.

Coralie cooperated and simply handed her bag to the shopping mall manager.

After all, she was confident that she did nothing wrong. It might even be possible that the alarm was

broken.

The manager opened Coralie's bag and took out a sparkly item without hesitation. "Madam, I don't

think that this belt belongs to you."

Coralie took a closer look and realized that the business manager was holding the diamond belt that

matched the dress just now!

"This isn't mine."

Seeing the belt, Coralie suddenly felt confused.

From the beginning to the end, she had never touched that dress, let alone put the belt into her bag!

"It's indeed not yours. This belongs to us."

The business manager was a woman. Standing in front of Coralie, her eyes were full of contempt.

At this time, people had started gathering around.

"What's going on?" the bystanders wondered.

Some people did not know what had happened, so they stood aside and asked.

In the crowd, there was a voice "kindly" answering, "She couldn't afford to buy the dress, so she stole

the diamond belt from the dress."

Coralie knew that the only person who was kind enough to explain it to others was Alison.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Shameless! Thief!" one by-stander despised.

"Don't buy it if you can't afford it. It's a shame trying to steal it!" another by-stander said.

"Just send her to the cops." the other person suggested.

They were the socialites who happened to go on shopping at this time as most of them had a lot of free

time. They spent a lot of time here. When they saw that there was a commotion, they all came over.

Now they were all pointing at Coralie regardless of their lack of understanding of the real situation. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"I didn't steal it. I have never touched this belt at all."

Coralie tried to explain.

"Humph, you said you never touched it. Did this belt crawl into your bag by itself?" the manager

refuted.

The business manager did not listen to her explanation at all.

The main reason was that Coralie's outfit was too ordinary. There was nothing valuable on her body.

Hence, the manager was even more certain that she was a thief.

"Sister Corrie, I did see you walking around the dress and touching the diamond details. If you really

like it, I can give it to you. It will be too disgraceful to steal it." said Alison.

At this time, Alison did not forget to kick Coralie when she was down.

As soon as she spoke, the guests around her were sure that Coralie was a thief.

Coralie thought about it. She had never touched that dress or this diamond belt, but Alison did take her

bag once, so there was only one possibility...

"Alison, you stole it to frame me, didn't you?" asked Coralie.

Coralie stared at Alison angrily. At this moment, it was difficult for Coralie to defend herself.

"Sister Corrie, it is wrong to blame others. What do I get by causing trouble for you?" Alison replied.

Alison had already thought of what to say. As soon as Coralie suspected her, she could refute

immediately.

"Call the police." The mall manager gave an order to the staff next to her, "If you have any grievances,

explain to the police. This diamond belt is worth 40,000 dollars, which is enough to lock you up for a

while."

"Thief, take a picture of the thief and put it on the Internet so that everyone can recognize her."

"That's right. She didn't even admit after being caught red-handed." the others agreed.

The people around began taking pictures of Coralie. At this time, Coralie began to panic.

Alison left smugly at this moment.

"I'm not a thief, I really am not! I didn't steal it."

She tried to explain to the people around her in a panic.

However, the diamond belt was taken out of her bag, and everyone saw it. No one believed her or was

willing to speak for her.

Coralie stood by helplessly. She had to cover her face because she was afraid of being photographed

by others, but she did not know what to do.

At this moment, a black Mercedes Maybach stopped at the entrance of the mall, attracting everyone's

attention.

When the door opened, Skylar got out of the car. His black dark suit perfectly set off his slender figure.

His handsome facial features looked extra sharp against the lights. He looked stunning.

"President Holland!" the manager yelled.

The business manager recognized Skylar at a glance and rushed over with an arrow-like stride.
