Necklace-induced identity reversal

Early this morning when she came to the company, Aurora Morales noticed that the necklace Emma Turner was wearing looked very familiar. After thinking carefully for a while, she remembered that she seemed to have bought a similar one. Since she had so many accessories, she sometimes put them away casually after wearing them, and unexpectedly, this one happened to be in this bag.

"Aurora Morales, what else do you have to say!" Fiona questioned her.

Aurora Morales said coldly, "This necklace is mine."

Fiona picked it up and showed it around in front of everyone, "Come on, take a good look. This is clearly the one Emma wore here this morning! Aurora Morales, how could you tell such a lie?"

Aurora Morales smiled noncommittally, "Are you saying that as the eldest daughter of the Morales family, I can't even afford a small item worth over a hundred thousand?"

Fiona's face changed slightly. Thinking again, it had been four years since Aurora Morales was brought back from the countryside, yet the Morales family hadn't even published a single notice in the newspaper, let alone participate in any major wine parties! It was obvious that Aurora Morales was not favored in the Morales family!

Fiona immediately gained confidence, "Don't change the subject! How could there be such a coincidence? You've been in the company for two years, and I've never seen you wear this style!"

Aurora Morales met Emma Turner's gaze and said casually, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Admit to giving it away when you're caught? Clearly, you stole it!" Fiona said aggressively.

Emma Turner also spoke up at this time, "Aurora Morales, if you like my necklace, just tell me. Why do such a disgraceful thing? I can ask my husband to bring you one for free when he goes on a business trip next time. After all, we've been colleagues for two years."

Aurora Morales sneered at the sarcastic contempt in her words, "Do you think I care?"

People around started whispering.

"This Aurora Morales is too arrogant, isn't she?"

"Exactly. And she still doesn't admit it even when caught red-handed..."

"Ah, how could there be such a thick - skinned person in the world!"

"Emma is clearly giving her a way out, but this Aurora Morales is so ungrateful."

Fiona smiled triumphantly, determined to tear off Aurora Morales' disguise bit by bit!

"Aurora Morales, you keep saying that this necklace was bought by you. Fine! I'll call the store directly and ask the clerk to come and verify it in person! Sales records don't lie, right? Then, let the clerk slap her in the face!"

Although this jewelry store was not as well - known as Alberto, it was quite famous nationwide and had an excellent service attitude. After receiving Fiona's call, they immediately sent someone from the local city.

By this time, it was already the company's off - work time. However, none of the employees in the company left. They all wanted to see how this drama would unfold next!

In less than half an hour, the employee from the jewelry store arrived. She first examined the style of the necklace and smiled, "This is indeed our product, but it was out of stock half a year ago. Now, if you want to buy it, you can only purchase it abroad."

Fiona looked at Aurora Morales sarcastically, "What, you're not going to say that you bought this thing half a year ago, are you?"

Aurora Morales looked calm, with a faint smile on her bright red lips, as if she was quite confident.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Fiona spat secretly, "Let's see how long you can keep pretending! Hey! You over there, hurry up and check the purchase record of this Aurora Morales!"

The employee was a bit unhappy but still maintained a smile, "Okay, our purchase records are applicable to all stores nationwide. Whether it's purchased abroad or domestically, it can be checked. Is this Ms. Song Hui? Please come here and enter your ID number, okay?"

Aurora Morales walked over and entered a series of numbers on the laptop she brought.

Then followed a long wait. The only sound in the air was the scrolling of the mouse wheel. Everyone thought it would be checked quickly, but they waited for a long time without hearing the employee speak.

Fiona couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you found it yet? Why are you so slow!"

The employee said unhurriedly, "I'm sorry, I really can't find it."

"Aurora Morales, what else do you have to..." Fiona immediately sneered.

The employee interrupted her, "Ms. Aurora Morales is a supreme - level VIP in our store with a credit rating of 100. Her last purchase was three days ago. Because our purchase record query is sorted from high to low according to the amount. This necklace is very cheap in our store and not worthy of mention. So, it wasn't restocked after the first month of pre - sale. Presumably, something at this price level should be on the last page considering Ms. Aurora Morales' spending level."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was shocked! The diamond necklace that seemed so precious in their eyes was actually not worthy of mention in their store? Most importantly, the reason why Aurora Morales' purchase record couldn't be found was that she bought too many expensive things?

Everyone rubbed their ears in disbelief, thinking they had misheard! Someone asked cautiously, "Can... can I see what Ms. Aurora Morales has bought?"

The employee directly turned the laptop around and presented the page in front of everyone. When they saw the contents clearly, they couldn't help but gasp. These random little items cost millions or even tens of millions? Strawberry brooches, crystal bracelets... Seriously? Isn't it better to buy a house with millions? Could this be the happiness of the rich?

"Is the ring on Ms. Aurora Morales' little finger... could it also be from your store?" Everyone looked in unison at the ring on Aurora Morales' hand. The plain - looking, unremarkable smooth - surface thin ring set off her slender fingers.

The employee nodded. "This is our latest model this year, priced at one million in total."

"One million?!" "My god..."

This was simply the so - called "ridiculously wealthy"! What did one million mean? It was the money that they, with a dead - end salary of three thousand yuan a month, might not be able to earn even if they worked desperately for decades! If it hadn't been said by this employee, they would never have thought that this ring was worth a fortune!

In other words, Aurora Morales could buy these things without batting an eye. Why would she need to steal a shabby necklace that was not worthy of mention in the store?

Some people suddenly understood what Aurora Morales meant by "Do you think I care?" at the beginning! Those who had spoken for Emma Turner before felt their faces burning with shame!
