Chapter 50 Truth Wins
"That's more like it." Chris sneered. "I just came now. Can anyone tell me what happened exactly?"
"Shelley, hurry. Explain it to Miss Lu. She will deal with the case in a fair and just manner." Manager Yi
clearly forgot that Chris addressed Autumn as "sister-in-law".
"Well, the thing is..." Shelley told the whole story but with a lot of exaggeration. Autumn just stood
there, without saying a word.
She believed that facts speak louder than words and people have a sense of justice. She was not
afraid of being framed at all because she knew she was honest. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Though Shelley now knew that Autumn was not any random girl, she had no option but to continue
playing along.
"Miss Lu, please help me out. If every customer acts like her, how will I handle my work?" Shelley
pretended to be the victim.
Chris cast a cold glance at her. She was nothing like Autumn when it came to being bullied.
"You think that she didn't admit tearing this dress because she can't afford it?" Chris asked coldly.
"Can she?" Shelley scorned and continued. "Why didn't she buy it if she can afford it? If she would
have bought it, then we wouldn't have been debating here."
Chris said to Manager Yi with contempt. "Manager Yi, didn't you hear about my brother's wedding?"
"Of course." Manager Yi flattered her by saying, "I so wish I could attend the wedding, but it's a pity that
I wasn't really invited. I heard that Mrs. Lu is a beauty. Why don't you bring her here the next time you
come so we can get to know each other better..."
"Sure." Chris held Autumn's hand and took her in front of Manager Yi. "This is my sister-in-law. What
will happen if Charles finds out how your staff treated his wife..."
Chris didn't say anything explicitly, but Manager Yi, who now knew Autumn's identity, was scared. She
helped her niece find a job here. But it never occurred to her that her niece would bring her into big
trouble on the first day of work.
"Miss Lu, please don't make fun of me." Manager Yi regretted everything now. In order to help her
niece, she first offended Mr. Lin and then Charles Lu. But she was still confused. "It's impossible..."
"Why is it impossible?" Chris sneered. It seems like people today judge others on the basis of their
appearance. She said to Autumn, "Sister-in-law, I always told you to buy some luxury clothes, but you
never paid any heed to me and kept wearing those old clothes. Look, people are despising you
because of these clothes now."
"Being comfortable is all I worry about." Autumn said.
Yvonne didn't know Chris, so she was unhappy about her protecting Autumn. "Who are you? I'm telling
you! I am the..."
"Come back." Wendy, however, knew Chris. She hadn't stop Yvonne when she was showing her
contempt just now, but now she had to keep her mouth shut in front of Chris.
After all, Chris was going to be her sister-in-law. So she would better not offend Chris.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Yvonne frowned. It was a good chance for her to deal with Autumn. She
was unwilling to give it away. "I..."
"Shut up!" Wendy noticed Chris's enquiring eyes, so she hastily dragged Yvonne back. "It's enough.
She is Charles's real sister. If you leave a bad first impression, how will you get along well with her in
the future?"
Yvonne, with a frown, hesitated for a while and then gave up.
Manager Yi, who heard the casual talk between Chris and Autumn, awkwardly walked closer to them
and said," Mrs. Lu, I am really sorry for the misunderstanding. I..."
She dragged Shelley to her and said," Apologize to Mrs. Lu!"
"Aunt, I don't want to." Shelley was an absolute idiot. How could she let others know that they are
related? Manager Yi was scared. She had sweat gushing from her forehead, but Shelley still went on to
argue. "She tore it indeed! She was pretending to be rich! She certainly can not afford it!"
Shelley didn't care who Autumn was. She was determined to transfer the blame on Autumn.
"Shut up!" Manager Yi held Shelley's hand tight. "Don't you know who Mrs. Lu is? Who taught you to
blame others for your mistake? You are trying to frame Mrs. Lu?''
After lecturing Shelley, Manager Yi turned to Autumn and said, "Mrs. Lu, you are very generous. Please
forgive her."
Autumn now calmed down. However, she didn't want to make small talk with somebody who could
switch sides so easily.
Autumn's silence made Manager Yi a little worried.
She awkwardly said, "Mrs. Lu, it's my fault. Don't worry. I'll make it up to you."
"No need." Mr. Lin was standing next to them and heard everything. He interrupted. "You're fired."
"What... What did you say?" Manager Yi went blank. She didn't expect to lose her job over such a trivial
matter. "Mr. Lin, I've been working hard for HKind Group for years. I should be given credit for hard
work, if not for merit. You've just come back from abroad and taken over the business here. How could
you fire me for such a small reason... Isn't it inappropriate?"
"Inappropriate?" Mr. Lin scorned. "Though I've just come back, I know everything about HKind Group.
You take bribes from people while on job. Do you think... that I came here for no reason?"
"I..." Manager Yi was speechless.
Seeing that problem was solved, Autumn took Chris's hand and hastily walked forward to leave. Chris
was confused. She asked, "What happened? You are acting as if someone is running after you."
"Nothing. Let's rush home. I've hung out too long and wasted a lot of time here." Autumn left at a fast
pace. She tried to not look at the man. Now that the problem was solved, it was time to go.
She had no idea how should she greet him when she saw him after such a a long time.
"You handle the rest. I don't want to see the manager and this salesgirl any more." Seeing that Autumn
was leaving, Mr. Lin quickly left a word to his assistant and ran after her.
The assistant hurriedly reminded him, "Mr. Lin, you have a video meeting in half an hour..."
"Cancel it!" Mr. Lin chased after Autumn.
When Autumn was about to leave the plaza, he finally caught sight of her. He shouted loudly from a
distance, "Little Ye!"
This nickname sounded like a deafening thunder and directly struck her mind. She stopped, but she
dared not turn around.
