False Accusations: The Plight and Grievances of Aurora Morales

Aurora Morales' words left that female colleague speechless. The piece of paper skimmed across the female colleague's face, as if cutting a wound, bringing a burning, stinging sensation.

After suffering this setback, everyone realized that this Aurora Morales was by no means an easy target to be bullied.

As the noon break time approached, conversations filled the sales department's office area.

"Sister Emma, shall we go to the cafeteria for lunch together?"

Emma Turner slightly tugged at the collar of her business suit and subtly flaunted the diamond - studded necklace again. "I heard there's a new Japanese restaurant at the street corner. I'm planning to go and try it out."

Everyone was filled with envy and exclaimed, "You really know how to enjoy life! A meal at a Japanese restaurant isn't cheap!"

"Yeah, I've never eaten at one."

Emma Turner smiled faintly and replied, "It's okay. It's not that expensive."

"That's because it's not expensive for you, Sister Emma. Your husband runs a company and earns millions every month. He can give you a necklace worth over a hundred thousand yuan without hesitation. But for us, after working hard for the company for a month, we can only barely make ends meet."

"Don't mention it. I'm already over ten thousand yuan in debt on my credit card..."

Emma Turner responded and said, "How about I treat you all to Japanese food today?"

"Sister Emma, you're so generous!"

The colleagues who were close to Emma Turner on weekdays gathered around. Roughly counting, there were more than a dozen of them.

When the lunch break bell rang, everyone couldn't wait any longer. Emma Turner simply tidied up her things and looked at Aurora Morales.

"Coming with us?"

"No, thanks. I brought my own lunch." Aurora Morales declined with a smile.

Emma Turner didn't force her and left with a large group of people.

Aurora Morales felt a bit tired from playing on the computer. She then took the meal to the microwave to heat it. After taking a few bites, she found the taste was almost as bad as that in the morning.

At this moment, her phone rang. It was a message from Ricardo Vargas via WhatsApp.

[Have you eaten?]

Aurora Morales replied: [Yes, I have.]

After that, she silently put down the lunch box, picked up her bag, and went to the company cafeteria. After having a meal, she bought a cup of milk tea nearby. When she returned to the company, she saw a man holding a bouquet of roses standing at the company entrance, looking around constantly.

Aurora Morales walked past without looking sideways, but unexpectedly, she was grabbed by the man.

"Miss! These roses are from Mr. Bryant for you!"

Aurora Morales calmly shook off his hand and said coldly, "You've got the wrong person."

"Ah? Aren't you Miss Emma Turner?"

"No, I'm not."

Just as the man looked confused, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing! You didn't even confirm the name. I'm giving these to my wife. How could this person be..."

Lucas Bryant's angry words were not yet finished when he saw Aurora Morales turn around with the roses in her arms.

When Lucas Bryant saw Aurora Morales' bright and beautiful face, the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

"Miss, I'm really sorry. The person who arranged the flower - sending was too careless and made a mistake. As a first - time meeting, consider these flowers as a gift for you!"

Lucas Bryant smiled gracefully.

Little did he know that this scene was completely seen by a group of people walking together across the road.

"Sister Emma, isn't that your husband?"

"Yes! What's he doing with Aurora Morales?"

"Why is Aurora Morales holding roses? Isn't today your wedding anniversary? What on earth is Aurora Morales trying to do! Could she be trying to seduce your husband?"

"Didn't you hear what the second Miss Morales said? This Aurora Morales has a deep mind. She even dared to seduce our boss. What couldn't she do?"

"Maybe she's jealous of Sister Emma and wants a diamond necklace too!"

Emma Turner's face turned extremely ugly, and she was clearly trying to hold back her emotions.

Aurora Morales firmly refused: "No need. Give it back to you."

"Miss, don't be so distant."

Having been with Emma Turner for so long, Lucas Bryant knew what women liked. "I'll send my wife another bouquet later."

With that, Lucas Bryant left.

Aurora Morales looked expressionlessly at the roses in her arms, and without hesitation, she threw them into the trash can beside her and turned to enter the company.

"Sister Emma! Look at her! She's going too far!"

"She's playing hard - to - get. Aurora Morales is quite skillful."

Emma Turner forced a smile and said, "Don't guess randomly. I trust my husband."

"Sister Emma, which man can resist a woman who throws herself at him?"

"Moreover, this Aurora Morales is so beautiful."

Throughout the afternoon, Emma Turner's mind kept echoing those words, and she glanced at Aurora Morales from time to time.

She had to admit that Aurora Morales was indeed the most beautiful and threatening woman she had ever seen. She just sat there quietly, saying nothing and doing nothing, yet she could attract the attention of many men.

"Manager, this is the sales report for last month."

Emma Turner came back to her senses and reached out to take it.

The person exclaimed, "Sister Emma, where's the necklace around your neck?"

Emma Turner quickly touched her neck and found that the necklace was really gone!

"Did it fall on the ground?"

"Quick, help me look for it!"

Everyone around heard Emma Turner's words and started helping her search.

"The necklace was still there when Sister Emma had lunch at noon!"

"Could it have been stolen?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Aurora Morales in unison.

Aurora Morales raised her cold black eyes and met everyone's gaze.

Fiona, who was sitting next to her and had caused trouble for her because of the lunch box in the morning, immediately voiced what everyone was thinking.

"Aurora Morales! Did you steal Sister Emma's necklace?"

Aurora Morales asked calmly, "What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? Humph, just search and you'll have the evidence!" Fiona stared intently at the bag on her desktop, her eyes blazing. "Which thief would admit to stealing something!"

"Besides, you're from the countryside. People from the countryside are the most untrustworthy."

"There's a possibility that you'll take something you like when you see it."

Aurora Morales' eyes gradually turned gloomy, and she said, "Watch your words, please."

"What I said is the truth!"

"Aurora Morales, if you didn't do this, why are you afraid to let me search? Clearly, you're guilty!" Fiona said forcefully, firmly believing that Aurora Morales was the thief.

"You have no right to rummage through my things without permission." Aurora Morales said each word slowly and clearly.

Some male employees couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for her.

"Fiona, forget it. Let the police handle this matter."

"Yeah, we're all colleagues. Why make it so tense?"

Fiona raised her chin, determined to regain the dignity she had lost in the morning.

"I'll search today. Let's see what you can do to me!"

With that, she grabbed Aurora Morales' canvas bag and emptied all the contents onto the ground! In a pile of clutter, a sparkling diamond necklace identical to Emma Turner's lay silently.

Fiona shouted excitedly, "Aurora Morales, you're really a thief!"
