Chapter 4

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone in the private room started helping Collins look for the watch.

While searching, he kept muttering:

"This is a birthday gift Miss Juliet gave me, worth over thirty million! I really don't want to lose it!"

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

But just as I reached the door, Collins reached out to stop me.

"Taylor, let me check your bag too. Otherwise you won't be free of suspicion either."

Whether or not I'd stolen his watch, I knew the truth myself.

"I'm tired. Mr. Collins can look for it himself."

Seeing me insist on leaving, Collins actually grabbed my bag directly.

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

And among the scattered items, there really was a watch.

I stared at the watch in shock, then met Collins's provocative gaze.

"Why are you framing me?"

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

Especially Juliet—she was frowning, her eyes full of disgust toward me.

I instinctively tried to explain to her:

"I didn't take this!"

But my explanation seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the glaring "evidence."

Then Collins picked up the watch and began to act aggrieved:

"This watch is very important to me. How could Taylor steal it?"

"I thought Taylor had reformed in prison, but I didn't expect him to still be willing to do anything for money. I won't dare work with you anymore..."

Collins's few words made everyone present look uncomfortable.

The partner's boss broke the awkward silence first, saying sternly:

"Miss Juliet, let's call off this collaboration!"

With those words, he left the private room angrily with his people.

I wanted to chase after them to explain, but received a solid slap from Juliet.

Meeting my disbelieving gaze, there was no regret in her eyes.

"I never imagined you were this kind of money-grubbing person!"

"I brought you here, not to have you steal things!"

Juliet's one sentence completely convicted me.

Didn't she know what kind of person I was?

Had she also forgotten why I went to prison?

Looking at the fury in her eyes, I knew she would never believe me.

I could only smile bitterly and hand over my phone.

"Then call the police."

She looked down at the phone, then frowned up at me, but made no move.

The long stare seemed to let me see clearly the woman before me.

After a while, Juliet snorted coldly, "Unreasonable!"

The woman turned around, helped Collins put on the watch, and gently coaxed him away.

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

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

Late night at the departure hall.

I'd planned to write my resignation, but received Juliet's termination notice first.

Her words carried anger:

【Don't come to the company anymore. Stay home and reflect on yourself!】

Seeing her absurd demand, I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Without thinking, I took a photo of the divorce agreement both of us had signed and sent it over.

With accompanying text:

【Juliet, I wish you and Collins eternal happiness!】

【But first you need to get the divorce certificate with me, or I'll report you for bigamy.】

After I sent this message, Juliet on the other end began frantically calling me like crazy.
