Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany) novel Chapter 209

"I didn't take it! Even my dog wouldn't want that necklace!" Mandy averted her gaze, acting as though she would damage her eyes if she were to look at Alex for one more second.

Tiffany walked over and said, "Mr. Zander, you know what Mandy's upbringing is like. I don't think she needs to steal anyone's necklace."

Alex fell silent. Indeed, the necklace was precious to Patricia, but it was nothing to Mandy.

Patricia suddenly pointed at Mandy's pocket, saying, "Alex, the necklace is in her pocket."

Everyone was dumbstruck, Mandy included. Thinking of something, her gaze gleamed with murderous intent.

Alex grabbed Patricia's hand and said, "Let it go. If it's missing, so be it. I'll buy you a new one."

"But…" Patricia wanted to say something, but Alex shot her a glare, signaling her to shut up.

Tiffany knew what he was trying to do. Alex wasn't going to force Mandy to take responsibility for this matter. It did not matter whether the necklace was in Mandy's pocket or not. He only wanted to keep the peace and get things over with.

Just as Tiffany pulled Patricia out of the washroom, two policemen walked over.

"Who made the police report?"

No one responded.

Tiffany glanced at Mandy. Looking at her stunned expression, Tiffany believed that she probably wasn't the one who had made the report. If it wasn't her, it was…

"I-It's me," Patricia said weakly.

"That's it!" Patricia went forward to take it excitedly.

Before she could touch the necklace, she was slapped. Patricia screamed as she stumbled and fell. Mandy threw the necklace onto Patricia while screaming, "You bitch! How dare you frame me?"

Mandy raised a hand to hit Patricia again, but she failed. Alex had appeared beside her and was gripping her wrist so tightly that it nearly crushed her bones.

Color had drained from Mandy's face. Glaring at Alex, she repeated through gritted teeth, "She framed me! I didn't steal anything from her!"

"That's not important," Alex said coldly.

"Alex…" Patricia burst into tears on the floor.
