I Took His Crime, He Took a Mistress

Chapter 4

3,361 words

As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone in the room started looking for Chloe’s ring.

While searching, she kept muttering:

"This was a birthday gift from Mr. Smith, worth over $3 million. I can’t bear to lose it!"

Though I didn’t know what game she was playing, I just wanted to leave immediately.

But just as I reached the door, Chloe blocked me.

"Olivia, let me check your bag. Otherwise you won’t be able to clear your name."

Whether or not I stole her ring, I knew the truth.

"I’m tired. Miss Chloe can look for it herself."

Seeing I was determined to leave, Chloe actually grabbed my bag directly.

In the struggle, the contents of my bag spilled all over the floor.

And among the scattered items, there was indeed a sparkling large diamond ring.

I stared at the ring in shock, suddenly meeting Chloe’s provocative gaze.

"Why are you framing me?"

Turning around, I found everyone looking at me with contempt.

Especially Alexander, who frowned with disgust in his eyes.

I instinctively tried to explain to him:

"I didn’t take this!"

But my explanation seemed so feeble in the face of the glaring "evidence".

Next, Chloe picked up the ring and started crying even harder.

"This ring means so much to me. How could Olivia steal it?"

"I thought Olivia had reformed in prison, but I never expected she’d still do anything for money. I don’t dare work with her anymore..."

Chloe’s words made everyone’s expressions turn ugly.

The lead donor spoke up first, breaking the awkward silence:

"Mr. Smith, let’s call off this sponsorship discussion!"

With that, he stormed out of the room with his people.

I wanted to chase after them to explain, but was met with a solid slap from Alexander.

Meeting my incredulous gaze, there wasn’t a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I never thought you’d be the type to see money and lose your mind!"

"I brought you out, not for you to steal things!"

Alexander’s words completely convicted me.

Didn’t he know what kind of person I was?

Had he also forgotten why I went to prison?

Seeing the anger in his eyes, I knew he would never believe me.

I could only laugh bitterly and hand him my phone.

"Then call the police."

He looked down at the phone, then frowned at me again, still not moving.

The long stare seemed to let me see through the man before me.

After a while, Alexander snorted coldly, "Ridiculous!"

He turned around, helped Chloe put on the diamond ring, and gently coaxed her to leave.

In the room, only I remained, along with the mess on the floor.

I picked up my scattered belongings and headed straight for the airport without hesitation.

In the late night waiting area.

I was about to draft a resignation letter when I received a dismissal notice from Alexander first.

His words were filled with anger:

"Don’t come to the company anymore. Stay home and reflect on yourself!"

Seeing his absurd demands, I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Without thinking, I sent him a photo of the signed divorce agreement.

Along with the text:

"Alexander, I wish you and Chloe a hundred years of happiness and growing old together!"

"But first you need to get our divorce certificate, otherwise I’ll report you for bigamy."

After I sent this, Alexander started frantically calling me like his life depended on it.
