“Miss, please wait!” The store manager ran over and blocked Natalie’s way.

Everyone in the store also turned to look at her curiously.

“Is she a thief?”

“She doesn’t look like one…”

Natalie frowned slightly and was even more confused.

She hadn’t taken anything and had walked past the door twice. “Why is the alarm going off? Is it broken?”

“Miss, have you taken anything that you haven’t paid for?” The manager smiled politely.

Natalie tilted her head to the side and replied calmly, “No.”

But the alarm kept ringing incessantly.

With an embarrassed look, the manager leaned closer and whispered, “Miss, please tell us the truth, or we will have no choice but to frisk you.”

Just then, Elaine sauntered over.

“Hey, what’s that in your pocket?” Pretending to be shocked, Elaine pointed at the pocket of Natalie’s coat.

Natalie frowned and fished her hand into her pocket. Sure enough, there was something inside. To her surprise, she pulled out a wallet.

With a puzzled look, Elaine pointed at an empty spot on the shelf and said to the manager, “Look over there. Are you missing a wallet?”
