The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Evidence

Jessica’s firm stance took Samuel by surprise. He couldn’t quite understand why she was so fired up; after all, Daniel was just a mere assistant. Even if Daniel was wronged, it didn’t warrant such a strong reaction. From what she was saying, she seemed ready to press charges. Samuel just didn’t get it.

Despite the rivalry, Harrisons and Matthews were far from being sworn enemies, and it wouldn’t be wise to clash with the Matthews over such a small incident. Considering this, Samuel’s face broke into a friendly smile.

“Please, Jessica, don’t be upset. If it’s a misunderstanding, and my security did wrong your assistant, I’ll apologize.”

“It’s my assistant who was wronged, not me! If anyone should apologize, it’s to him!”

“So you’re saying I should apologize to your assistant?”

“Whoever accused my assistant should apologize to him! And if you, Samuel, think my assistant is a thief, you owe him an apology too! Otherwise, suing everyone involved wouldn’t be a big deal for me.”

At that moment, Jennifer quietly whispered to Harper, “Earlier, I saw that country guy take something and

put it in his bag ”

With Jennifer’s tip, Harper pondered her next move. Jessica was pressuring Samuel, which put him in a tough spot. If Harper could replace evidence of Daniel’s theft right in front of Samuel, it could resolve his crisis, and who knows, she might be rewarded with a promotion or even end up climbing to a top position!

The more Harper thought about it, the more excited she got. Without delay, she jumped forward, pointing at Daniel and accusing, “He’s the thief! I have proof!”

Hearing Harper’s claim, Samuel immediately responded, “Where’s the evidence?”

Harper pointed at Daniel’s bag. “The stolen item is in that bag.”

Jessica jumped in, “The clothes in the bag were purchased by me.”

Samuel figured a mere shop assistant wouldn’t be bold enough to make such an accusation at this point. So he made a suggestion, “Jessica, you say the clothes in the bag were bought by you. Let’s take everything out and see if they match your purchase records, shall we?”

“Fine by me,” Jessica said without hesitation, then she began taking things out of the bag.

When she pulled out a little sundress, she was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t bought that dress. She turned to Daniel, “Did you buy this?”

“No.”

“Then why is it in the bag?”

“How should I know?”

Of course, Daniel knew, he just wasn’t saying.

Evidence!

Harper was thrilled. “Look, Samuel, this country guy is a thief. That dress is from our store; it’s proof of his

theft.”

Samuel looked at Jessica with an amiable smile. “Jessica, I believe with your financial resources, you certainly wouldn’t need to steal something so trivial. So, I think you have nothing to do with this.

However, it seems your assistant may have some unusual predilections. Want to handle it yourself,

Jessica, or shall I take care of him for you?”
