Large stores usually offered home delivery.
They could even bring a variety of items for regular customers to choose from.
The saleswoman frowned, clearly in a dilemma.
“And you are…”
“Wesley’s wife.”
Naturally, the saleswoman knew Wesley, who had been in a vegetative state for years.
But…
She said tentatively, “Miss, I’m sorry.”
Sandra frowned.
“I don’t know you, and you can’t identify yourself.” Sandra had no strong desire to purchase, so she put the brooch back after hearing this.
“I won’t take it then.”
After saying that, she glanced at her watch. It was about time to go to her own store.
“Wait!” The saleswoman suddenly grabbed her wrist. “You can’t leave!”
Sandra narrowed her eyes. “What are you doing?”
The saleswoman shouted, “You’ve damaged this brooch. You must buy it.”
With that, she held up the brooch.
Sandra noticed that one of the hollow leaves on the brooch was bent. It didn’t affect the overall look from a distance, but up close, it lost some of its beauty.
This was a large mall with many people coming and going. Now that there was a quarrel here, it quickly attracted a crowd.
Sandra was certain that when she returned the brooch, there was no sign of any damage. And now the saleswoman was accusing her of damaging it?!
As more and more people gathered, someone spoke up. “I know who she is. Don’t you remember Mr. Cooper’s fiancee?”
“Emily Hill?”
“No, she’s Sandra Hill. In order to marry Mr. Cooper in place of Emily, she pushed Emily out of the car, and Emily was nearly disabled!”
Sandra looked towards the women who were talking. They were clearly intentionally trying to provoke her.
Sandra shot them a fierce glance.
The two women immediately fell silent.
Because there were quite a lot of people watching, David Martin, the store manager, hurried over from the office. After learning about the situation, he politely looked at Sandra.
“Mrs. Cooper, this brooch is not expensive for the Cooper family. Since you damaged it, we hope you can purchase it and not put us in a difficult position.”
The saleswoman rolled her eyes. “Mr. Martin, maybe she can’t afford it.”
David scolded her.
Then he looked at Sandra gently.
“Mrs. Cooper, if you don’t have enough money on you right now, you can leave something as collateral and have someone bring the money later.”
Just then, the door of the middle section opened, and Angela sneered.
“Sandra, I can’t believe you can’t even afford a brooch! It seems Wesley doesn’t like you that much. But since you’re my sister-in-law, as long as you ask, I can lend you the money.”
It dawned on Sandra.
She knew she had been set up, but she didn’t understand why the saleswoman targeted her.
Upon seeing Angela, she understood what had happened. Sandra sneered and looked at David.
“If I damaged this brooch, I will pay for it. But before I do, have this saleswoman explain the situation.
It’s better to make things clear. You don’t want to wrongly accuse a customer, right?”
David nodded and turned to the saleswoman.
The saleswoman had long prepared her statement and said it quickly and elaborately.
As soon as she finished, Sandra asked in a soft voice, “According to what you said, I took the brooch with my right hand, right?
And my left hand hasn’t moved at all?”
The saleswoman confidently replied, “Yes!”
Sandra once again picked up the brooch.
“Do you see this scratch? It can only be made by a sharp object.
If I hold it with my right hand, the scratch should be on the opposite side, not here!”
David had someone bring a magnifying glass and carefully examined the golden brooch. He instantly felt extremely embarrassed.
They had misunderstood Sandra.
Sandra looked at the saleswoman, who panicked and flinched.
“What’s wrong? You seem hot,” she asked with a smile.
Instantly, everyone turned to look at the saleswoman.
She was wiping the sweat off her forehead.
As the saying goes, a good conscience is a soft pillow.
She was so nervous because she had a guilty conscience.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, her face turned pale.
She didn’t seem as arrogant as before.
Clearly, she had intentionally framed Sandra.
David’s face turned livid with anger.
But he still had to handle this matter properly.
He smiled in a professional manner and apologized, “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Cooper. We misunderstood you.”
Sandra retorted, “Just like that?”
David smiled helplessly, “It really was just a misunderstanding.”
Sandra saw through it.
They wanted to get away with it.
She sneered.
“This is my first time at Briani Jewelry Store, and I haven’t caused any unpleasantness with you yet! But you accused me of damaging the brooch!
This saleswoman stopped me without reason.”
“And you, Mr. Martin, without investigating the situation, wanted me to buy the brooch out of fear of affecting your business!
Humph.”
She chuckled coldly.
The intimidating aura that seemed to emanate from her bones made the onlookers shudder.
“You slander me and want to trample on my dignity. Can everything be resolved with just a misunderstanding?”
The onlookers, initially curious, were now stirred up by Sandra.
They wished they could all become embodiments of justice and shut down Briani Jewelry Store.
Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, David gestured to the saleswoman.
The saleswoman could only suppress her anger and bow solemnly to Sandra.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Cooper. I misunderstood you before. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me.”
David gritted his teeth and tried to maintain a gentle tone.
“Mrs. Cooper, we will give you this brooch for free as an apology. What do you think?”
Sandra sneered, “Do you think the Cooper family can’t afford a brooch that was damaged by her?”
Angela’s face darkened.
“Wesley’s money doesn’t just fall from the sky, and besides, they have already apologized. It’s a bit excessive for you to take advantage of the situation.”
Sandra’s tone was icy.
“Excessive?”
She suddenly laughed coldly.
“I am your sister-in-law and Mrs. Cooper. Now that I have been falsely accused, do you think I should forgive them just because they apologize? Am I too soft and weak, or is the Cooper family worthless in the eyes of others?”
Angela’s face stiffened.
But she quickly reacted.
“What do you want to do then? Call the police? Make sure this saleswoman gets arrested?”
Sandra glanced at the saleswoman, whose face had turned pale.
“Since it happened at Briani Jewelry Store, it depends on Mr. Martin.”
Then, she glanced at the entrance.
There were still many onlookers waiting to see how Briani Jewelry Store would handle the situation.
“Mr. Martin, as you can see, many people are waiting to see how Briani Jewelry Store handles this. Otherwise, who would dare to come in and make a purchase?”
David understood the gravity of the situation. Some people outside had already started taking photos and videos.
If the matter wasn’t resolved properly, Briani Jewelry Store could face a public relations crisis. David almost wished he could reprimand the saleswoman for causing this.
However, in front of so many people, he couldn’t ask who had framed the saleswoman. He had no choice but to endure it for now.
