25 -25: They Really Came to Steal

So this is the Ms.

Joanna of the Lawrence family who, relying on her childhood marriage contract with Mr.

David, wants to break up the loving couple David and Joanna?

She really has no shame.

Seeing that Annie didn’t like her sister, the shop assistant took the opportunity to flatter her with some cutting remarks: “Ms.

Joanna, is this poverty-stricken woman really your sister?

You’re a famous star, while your sister only does minor roles.

Are you sure you’re not mistaken in recognizing her?”

“Yeah, Ms.

Joanna, you’re so outstanding.

How could you have such a lousy sister?”

“Hmph, since she doesn’t have money to buy clothes, why is she even browsing in our store?

Could it be she’s just here to enjoy the air-conditioning?”

“I think she looks kind of sneaky.

What if she’s planning to steal something?”

Annie enjoyed the shop assistants mocking Joanna, but put on a displeased face and said, “Don’t talk nonsense.

My sister is not that kind of person.”

After saying this, she looked at Joanna: “Joanna, don’t be angry.

They don’t understand you, that’s why they said those things.”

Joanna sneered.

Actually, she had no intention of paying attention to Annie.

As for those shop assistants, she also had no intention of bothering with them.

But now…

Since these people were bullying her, she couldn’t just not fight back, otherwise, she would be as soft as steamed buns!

That’s not Joanna’s personality!

“Just because they don’t understand me, can they talk nonsense?” She stared coldly at the shop assistants, “Do they know that there’s a price to pay for false accusations?”

As Joanna’s icy gaze darted over them, they all hesitated, feeling a hint of fear.

But thinking that Joanna was only an actor in minor roles, they became arrogant again.

“Hehe,” one shop assistant mocked, “False accusation?

We didn’t falsely accuse you.

You have no money and dare to shop in a luxury brand store?

If you’re not trying to steal, what else can you be doing?”

“That’s right!

You’re clearly a thief, and you still have the nerve to threaten us.

Acting like you’re so amazing and want to make us pay the price.

Who do you think you are!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, we’re so scared!

Tell us what price we’ll have to pay!”

“Joanna,” Annie furrowed her brow, “If you have any difficulties, feel free to talk to me and David.”

Her words were akin to indirectly admitting the shop assistants’ claims.

Assuming Joanna was in the store to steal something.

David also furrowed his brows, gazing deeply at Joanna: “Joanna, are you really that short of money?”

Seeing how Joanna had become after breaking up with him, unable to afford even a single piece of clothing, David felt a twinge of heartache.

His eyes filled with sympathy and pity, he said, “If you’re really short of money, let me know.

After all, I will help you no matter what.”

Upon hearing David’s words, Joanna felt that her understanding of him deepened by one more layer.

Her ten years of affection for him were really wasted on a dog.

As for Annie’s false accusation, she could understand it.

But him…

Did he really think she’d stoop to stealing?

She looked at him as if he were a dumbass, didn’t say a word, turned around, and walked out of the store.

“She must be feeling guilty, huh?

Really here to steal something.”

“How shameless, looking like a decent person, but actually a thief.”

Joanna left the store.
