Rachel's brows began to furrow at Melissa's sudden appearance.
"Just what are you here for?!"
After having endured so much, she could no longer stand to see Rachel in entire sets of designer attire.
All of these were supposed to be hers!
Instead, it was all snatched away by Rachel who appeared out of the blue and she was cast down to such a pitiful state!
She had become nothing more than a joke to everyone on the first floor.
Seeing Melissa's menacing advance, Wilhemina and her seven lackeys moved aside with smiles all around.
After all, it looked like they were not needed, and even without their interference, Rachel would not be able to worm out of this one easily.
Now that they had a dramatic showdown to observe and given that need not participate, they would rather not involve themselves.
Melissa grabbed Rachel's collar. "Rachel! Return our money to us! Do you hear me?! If you refuse, we will make you regret this!"
The other women immediately moved up and surrounded Rachel as well, baring their teeth.
"That's right! Give us back our money!"
"How could you be so cruel!"
"Yeah! I saved up for years to get to that amount!"
"Give us back the money now, or we will teach you a lesson!"
...
Rachel brushed Melissa's hand aside with a frown. "What are you talking about? I have no idea what you're saying! Why would I take your money?!"
Melissa scoffed. "We've already made a police report! But of course, you wouldn't have admitted to it. Who would admit to a crime?!"
Rachel took a few steps back, but she was pushed back by the women standing behind her.
"What do you want?"
Melissa huffed. "Oh, simple things, I just need you to show us your bank account, and we'll believe you."
Rachel snorted. "Give you my bank account? Have you gone crazy? If you lost your money and have made a police report, that should be the detectives' responsibility."
"Do you think it's fun to role-play detectives here?"
Melissa shrieked while pointing at Rachel furiously. "Who else if not you?! Why would it be so coincidental! All of us who lost our money were the ones who locked you in the canteen's bathroom!"
Rachel squinted upon hearing the confession from Melissa.
"What? You were the one who locked me in the toilet the last time?"
Melissa scoffed coldly. "That's right! So what if we did?! What else do you want from us? You owed us that. Well, say it, how did we lose our money? Let's see how you spin it!"
Rachel smiled coldly. "I won't comment on whether your lost money has anything to do with me, but I wish to tell you something."
Melissa and the others were caught by surprise. "What is it?"
"You deserved it."
Rachel said that with a smirk.
Angry, Melissa clenched her jaw and raised her arm; she was prepared to strike Rachel.
Seeing what was about to unfold, the other women held onto a struggling Rachel.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Nathan frowned. "I've already said this. Since the police have yet found any proof that it was Rachel, how are you so sure?!"
Nathan looked at Rachel after having heard Melissa's accusation.
Rachel shrugged. She had never done anything like that, so even if Melissa called down the heavens, she was not worried.
Nathan scoffed. Evidently, he had absolute trust in Rachel.
"Even so, you don't have the proof! And you pranked a colleague in the office, do you think this is supposed to be the Chapman Group's work environment?"
Melissa lowered her gaze. "As soon as Rachel shows us her bank account, we'll be able to see!"
Nathan squinted, but seeing the kneeling women on the floor, he scoffed. "Fine."
Melissa and the rest had a surprised gladness on their faces.
However, Nathan's continued statement sent them into a stupefied speechlessness.
"If we’ve checked Rachel's account and confirmed that it wasn't her who had done it, you will all be fired. Of course, if Rachel had really done it, I will also fire her."
Wilhemina and the rest narrowed their eyes, hoping that the latter would happen.
Melissa bit down on her teeth and complied.
"Okay!"
Rachel lowered her gaze with a slightly worried look on her face...
