Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 168

Chapter 168

As soon as Ophelia left, Rex, like a horse freed from its reins, hurried to take a rest on the side.

"Let's take a break. I'm exhausted!" he exclaimed.

Acting seriously was much more tiring than his random acting.

His agent promptly massaged his shoulders, while one assistant worked on his legs and another handed him some water.

It was quite incredible that Rex had worked so hard.

At a large chain supermarket, Ophelia and Sharon strolled around, chatting about all sorts of things.

Before they knew it, the shopping cart had become piled high with items.

As they pushed it to the checkout, they noticed a crowd gathering around one of the cashiers, and they were curious about what was happening.

"Still hiding it? Just hand it over! Don't make me call the police!" a woman's sharp voice came from the center of the crowd.

"I didn't steal your stuff... I didn't..." a voice barely louder than a whisper said.

Sharon, masked and wearing a hat, took a glance and saw a girl with pigtails, a well-worn baseball cap, and a large, ragged coat that was a few sizes too big for her.

The woman exclaimed, "Didn't you take it? Then how did my phone disappear from my pocket? If it wasn't you, who could it have been? You've been tailing me, lurking around. Did you wear that oversized coat just to pilfer items from the supermarket?" Sharon averted her gaze and whispered, "She should have realized her phone was stolen when she was checking out." She pushed the cart forward a few steps, noticing that Ophelia was still standing there, her eyes lingering on that scene.

The woman yelled, "Look at you! Are you from the slums or what? You thief! Give me back my phone!"

Originally standing in line behind the girl, people instantly stepped back when they heard the word "slums," looking at her as though she were something dirty.

Someone remarked, "I knew it! I kept feeling there was a bad smell coming from her, ugh."

Another person said, "She definitely stole the phone. People from the slums are despicable!" Someone else commented, "How could she steal things at such a young age?"

The woman who had lost her phone berated, "You country bumpkin, you might not be aware, but phones these days have trackers, and they can be worth hundreds of dollars! If you were to leave with my phone, it would turn into a serious matter. "The police would be after you, and even as a minor, you'd face consequences. Just give me back my phone!"

The girl retorted, "I didn't take it! What's wrong with living in the slums? I didn't take your phone."
