“I believe in the First Bloom Apparel and think that it will one day become a luxurious brand.”
Lacey immediately said, “Thank you, Mr. Hudson, for bringing justice to our case. Truly, I will prepare some gifts and
visit soon to thank you properly for it.”
The crowd began reprimanding Sally as well.
“D*mn, isn't she a little too old to do shit like this? I guess wisdom doesn't come with age.”
“No wonder her son is still living in the village as a farmer. Women like that simply can't raise any child to be
capable.”
“Oh, and she has a grandson. Women like her don't deserve to have that, though.”
Just then, a powerful voice boomed.
“What's going on here? Why is everyone gathered here?”
The crowd traced the sound and looked over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was when they saw a man in a suit and a pair of glasses approaching slowly.
The guy had a powerful aura, and his behavior suggested that he was a high-ranking official.
Harry instantly tensed up when he saw the old man.
That was the leader of the city. He specialized in Harry's field, and it wouldn't be a stretch to call the guy Harry's
supervisor.
Huh, that's strange. That old man usually stays at home, so why is he here today?
Harry hurried to the old man's side and asked, “Mr. Zimmer, what brought you here today?”
Bill nodded a little before he answered, “It's my day off, so I thought I'd browse around a little.”
Harry quickly made the introductions. “Ms. Hinton, allow me to make the introductions. This is Mr. Bill Zimmer, and
he's our leader. I guess he's here to do an inspection, so let's work well together. Mr. Zimmer, this is the renowned
Ms. Lacey Hinton. She is one of the best entrepreneurs in the country, and I'm sure you've heard of her.”
Lacey immediately took the initiative to build a rapport with Bill. The former said, “Thank you for taking the time to
drop by, Mr. Zimmer. It is an honor to have you here. Someone, please get Mr. Zimmer a chair.”
Bill, however, remained stoic. “There is no need for that. I won't be here for long since I'm only here to find out
what's going on. Speaking of, what is all this, Harry? Why is this woman kneeling on the ground? Are you hurting
her?”
The second Sally heard those words, she knew that her mysterious sponsor had sent the guy over to rescue her.
She was suddenly excited. Hah, I didn't realize that mysterious person knows Harry's boss. Oh, this is going to be
amazing. I might just be able to exact my revenge on Harry today and teach him a lesson.
Sally was instantly stirred.
Harry quickly explained the situation. “It's not as bad as it looks, and I would never abuse anyone. This is what
happened, Mr. Zimmer.
“She is a thief, and she had just served her sentence. In fact, she was released a week ago, but she never learned
her lesson. She even stole forty thousand.

“I'll just take her away now, Mr. Zimmer. It's not a pleasant situation since everyone is watching.”
Bill, however, reacted by pointing out, “Hold it right there, Harry. Let me ask you something. Do you have any
conclusive proof that she stole the money?”
Harry frowned and replied, “Well... I-I don't have any proof just yet, but she was just released from jail, so how
could she have forty thousand with her? Even she couldn't explain it herself.”
Bill heartlessly replied, “So you're apprehending someone despite having no proof? Who gave you the authority to
do so? Isn't all this just your speculations? When did the law change? How is your speculation more important than
concrete evidence?”
Harry quickly defended himself. “You misunderstood, Mr. Zimmer. I'm sorry. I guess I misspoke. The thing is, I'm not
taking her away because I suspect she stole some money. She is being taken in for fraud. She brought faulty items
to the store and disguised them as authentic. After that, she demanded a refund and made a scene. The crime she
committed is defamation.”
Again, Bill asked, “Where's the evidence? Talk to me when you have the evidence with you.”
Huh?
Harry was a little confused.
