Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied -
Chapter 183 Righteous
At Ocpeace City International Airport, the plane arrived at the terminal.
There was an announcement about the arrival of the plane at the terminal. In the elevator, all the passengers who arrived were pulling their suitcases towards the exit.
A tall and beautiful figure in the crowd was particularly eye-catching. She was in her early twenties, wearing a miniskirt and a sleeveless top. She leaned against the handrail and played with her mobile phone, totally unaware of the lustful eyes around her.
"Ah!"
All of a sudden, a man's scream came from the crowd, "What are you doing? Give my phone back to me!"
The surrounding people looked in the direction of the voice and all their eyes turned to the person behind the girl.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties. His face was contorted into a grimace as a woman grabbed him around the wrist. In the woman's other hand was a phone.
"You secretly took a photo up a girl's skirt. Do you believe that I won't make sure that you will never be able to raise your arm for the rest of your life if you make a fuss?"
The woman who spoke was in a leather jacket and black pants, with neat, short hair. Her delicate and small face was almost completely covered by a pair of sunglasses, only revealing her small red lips. Her manner was fierce, and her words gave one a sense of oppression.
The man's face turned red immediately. "Who took a photo? What evidence do you have? You're slandering me!"
"Slandering?" The woman raised the cell phone.
With such a large piece of evidence in her hands, she could not believe what he had just said.
"If you have the ability, give me the phone. I'll show it to you. You have to apologize to me if there's nothing in it!"
"Show it to you?" The woman sneered as if she had heard a joke.
At this moment, the elevator had just reached its end. In front of the bald man, the woman let go of her hand. With a "bang", the phone fell directly onto the ground.
Before the man knelt down to pick it up, the 12 centimeters high-heel shoe next to him stepped on the phone. The tempered glass screen shattered and was covered with cracks like spider webs, looking terrible.
"You..." When the man saw that the evidence had not been destroyed, he was first distressed over his cell phone, and then he came back to his senses. He became confident and said, "You are damaging private property. I want to call the police!"
"It's up to you." The woman handed over a business card with her index finger and middle finger. With a scornful look, she said, "This is my lawyer."
...
"I have to remind you that you should prepare some money. If you fail, my lawyer will make you lose all your money."
After saying this, the woman pushed up her sunglasses and went away.
At the exit of the terminal, there were many people who were waiting to pick the arriving passengers up.
Everleigh held Adrienne's hand with one hand and raised the other hand to check the time on her wristwatch. It was almost time for her to come out. "Cecil!"
Adrienne's excited voice suddenly came from beside her. Before Everleigh could react, Adrienne had already released her hand and rushed into the crowd like a small rocket.
Everleigh looked up and saw the figure walking coolly. She immediately showed a warm smile and raised her arm to beckon. "Cecil!"
Cecil was Everleigh's classmate in high school and also her best friend. However, as soon as Cecil graduated from high school, she went abroad to learn jewelry design. She would only come back every winter and summer vacation, and they seldom saw each other in college.
Meanwhile, after Everleigh left the Trevino family, she went abroad alone to study. Originally, she didn't want to contact any of her acquaintances, but because of some strange circumstances, she got in touch with Cecil again.
On the highway, Everleigh held the steering wheel and drove smoothly.
Cecil sat in the passenger seat and answered the phone. She took off her sunglasses and her delicate oval face was visible. Her short hair and sharp eyebrows made her look heroic and beautiful.
A man's voice came through the speaker of the phone. "I'm so impressed that you already caused trouble, although you just got off the plane at Ocpeace City. Do you really think that you are the only customer of my law firm? I'm really impressed..."
"I'm doing what is righteous."
"The next time you do something righteous, could you please leave the evidence for me? What did you do? You destroyed it directly. People would even think that you are his accomplice in crime!"
"Isn't there a CCTV at the airport? Why are you so long-winded? I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."
Before the other side could finish speaking, Cecil directly turned off her mobile phone impatiently. In front of Everleigh, she threw her mobile phone into her bag and stretched herself against the back of the chair. Everleigh asked her, "I heard that Mr. Hayes was furious. Did you make trouble again?"
"I just dealt with some minor matter at the airport. Don't you know him? He has such a bad temper. He can make a fuss and exaggerate all day long. If he didn't rely on a big customer like me, his law firm would have closed down long ago." Everleigh smiled helplessly and said, "By the way, why did you come back so early? Didn't you say that you would wait until the end of the auction?"
"Forget it. Someone ordered jewelry from my store, and I have already made it. I was just waiting for the store staff to give it to the customer. In the end, the store staff did not pay attention to the humidity in the store. Now, there is something wrong with the jewelry and it has to be delivered tomorrow. I have to come back to deal with it quickly."
"It must be delivered tomorrow? Do you still have time?"
"Who knows? I'll go back and have a look. If this order is ruined, my effort for the whole year would be ruined."
It was a very serious sentence, but Cecil said it casually. After that, she yawned and closed her eyes. "I'm going to sleep for a while."
Everleigh nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wake you when we get there."
Cecil had a custom jewelry design studio in Ocpeace City. She was also a somewhat famous jewelry designer in the industry now. Many rich people liked to ask her to customize their jewelry.
When they arrived at the store, it was time to get off work. In addition to the security guard at the door, there was only a shop assistant responsible for storing the jewelry in the store. Her expression changed when she saw Cecil. "Cecil, I didn't mean to..."
"If you have the courage to damage this jewelry set worth 100 million dollars on purpose, I admire you." Cecil rolled her eyes at the clerk. "Don't talk nonsense; where's the jewelry?"
The clerk sobbed and said, "It's in the safe."
"What's the use of crying? If crying can solve the problem, why would I come back? Wipe your tears and follow me inside." After saying this, Cecil looked at Everleigh and said, "Everleigh, you take the children and sit for a while. I'll go and have a look."
"Okay, you do your own work. I'll order a meal and wait for you here." Everleigh nodded and motioned for Cecil to continue with her matters,
As soon as Cecil left, Everleigh casually tidied up the messy documents on the tea table in front of her. Then, she saw a contract left by the shop assistant there. It was probably for the jewelry that had been damaged.
She was curious as to what the 100 million dollars' worth of jewelry looked like. She glanced at it for a moment, then she looked down at the client's signature. When she saw the two words, her gaze suddenly came to a halt.
