Chapter 85
Emilio didn’t say anything to Shelia.
He turned his attention to the crowd and said in a cold voice, “Today is meant to be a celebration of Vitality Entertainment’s successful film.
I’m sorry that you had to watch this.
Once we call the police, it’ll definitely alert the media.
I don’t want to make a big deal of things, so if the real thief can step forward and admit to their crime, we can leave the police out of this.
But if nobody steps forward, I’ll have no choice but to let the police handle this.
If the real thief ends up damaging the good name of our company, I will definitely hold them accountable!”
Clenching her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white, Shelia lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
“I’ll give the thief until a count of three.
” As he spoke, Emilio ominously rubbed the jade ring on his thumb, which added to his domineering aura.
“Then I will call the police.
”
“One…”
“Two…”
“Thre—”
“It was me!” Just as Emilio was about to say “three”, Shelia’s psychological defenses finally broke down.
She collapsed on the ground, twitching like a dying bug.
“I took the ring…”
Once again, the banquet hall burst into an uproar.
“She stole it?!”
“Isn’t she the one who accused the other girl of stealing?”
“How dare she play such a dirty trick here!”
Lindsey walked up to Shelia and looked down at her.
“‘You sow what you reap’.
Didn’t Kendra ever teach you that? Oh, wait-she probably doesn’t know about that saying either.
”
Shelia glared at Lindsey, her bloodshot eyes brimming with hatred.
“I heard that you’re one of our newly signed artists.
You’re…”
Jasmine, right?” Emilio asked, eyeing Shelia coldly.
“What you did today not only damaged the company’s reputation, but it’s also a serious violation of your contract.
While I won’t have you sent to jail, I will terminate our contract with you.
”
“No, please! Mr.
Howard, I’m sorry! Please give me one more chance!”
Shelia grabbed Emilio’s trouser leg and begged for mercy, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Nose wrinkled in disdain, Emilio shook off her hands fiercely and said to the assistant behind him, “Get her out of here.
”
Hearing this, Shelia hurriedly changed tactics.
She turned to Lindsey and begged, “I didn’t mean to hurt you, okay? It was just a prank!
We’re sisters after all! You have to help me, Lindsey!”
“Sisters?!”
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
Lindsey just looked down at Sheila coldly without the slightest hint of sympathy in her bright eyes.
