Chapter 39

“Remember it wrongly?”

The police officer and Kamryn asked in unison, “What do

you mean?”

“Maybe I didn’t lose my bag!”

Jenna continued incoherently, “I can’t remember, actually. Yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday, I happened to go home from the film set. Maybe… I took it back, or maybe I didn’t…”

She was originally good at acting.

However, the situation had taken a completely unexpected turn.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to make up a story.

She didn’t know how to make her lie seem plausible, especially in the face of the sacred judicial organ and the meticulous, impartial police. What

she said was full of loopholes, so the police officer opposite her realized that there had to be something fishy going on.

That exactly is going on?!” the police officer slammed the table and Men though the one sitting opposite him was an

internationally renowned star.

Jenna broke out in a sweat. She blurted out, “Maybe I remembered it wrongl later. She usually cleans out my closet…”

My… my bag might be at home! Well, I’m call my servant

“At home? Well, in that case, how can you be sure that the bag Kamryn is holding i

“I… It didn’t occur to me that my bag might be at home then!”

Ours?”

Embarrassed, Jenna added, “I didn’t expect an assistant like her to have such an expensive bag!”

“Call home now, and see if your bag is there!”

Jenna immediately pulled out her phone and made a call with trembling hands.

She would be humiliated if anything she said was inappropriate and used against her by the

ress.

She was trying to walk to the side to make a phone call when the police officer told her not to number in front of everyone.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

The servants of the Sexton family were quick to do chores, but they were unsophisticated

didn’t know how to read the room.

If later they said something wrong and the police heard them, Jenna really didn’t know what she would do.

She was extremely vexed.

She blamed herself for doing what Mareli said. Instead of making a fool of Kamryn, she got herself into a dilemma!

The call Jenna made quickly got through.

Makena Boyle’s voice was heard saying, “Mrs. Sexton, what can I do for you?”

“Would you please help me check if my limited edition Hermes bag is in my closet?”

“What color is it?

“I’m just a woman of humble origins. How can I possibly recognize a bag of that brand? Just tell me the color, and I’ll go helplessly.

find it!” Makena said

“The pink one. I’ve been carrying it all these days…

“That one? Mrs. Sexton, you must have been too busy to remember it. You took the bag home a few days ago and especially told me to put it away properly. You said you really liked the bag, and you were worried you’d lose it as there were so many people on the set, so you took it home!”

Although Jenna didn’t put Makena on speaker, her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

The police officer narrowed his eyes and looked suspiciously at Jenna.

“So I left it at home?” Jenna asked embarrassedly.

Makena smiled and said, “Don’t you have a good memory? You walked into the closet and checked it out yesterday!”

“Okay, I see.”

The police officer ordered Jenna to hang up the phone. “As long as we’re sure the bag is really at home, that’s enough!”

Jenna hung up helplessly. Her face was burning with embarrassment.

It was clear what Makena meant.

The police officer asked, “Why did you lie about Kamryn stealing your bag when you knew it was at home?”

“I didn’t!”

Jenna began to excuse her behavior. “I didn’t call the police! She called the police herself!”

The police officer sneered. “Of all the people on set, you suspected she had taken your bag. She called the police to prove her innocence. I don’t see what’s wrong with that!”

Jenna looked anxiously at her agent, not knowing what to say.

“Jenna doesn’t usually concern herself with such trifles,” Mareli said, “I’m usually the one who takes care of all this! It’s my fault for not figuring out the truth and blaming Kamryn wrongly. I’m sorry, but this has nothing to do with Jenna.”

“It has nothing to do with her?” The police officer pointed at the statement. “She said that she suspected Kamryn had stolen her bag. That’s right there in the statement. Now we have proof that Kamryn’s bag was a gift to her. Do you know what you were doing? You were framing Kamryn! If Kamryn goes to sue you, you’ll have to pay!”

Jenna broke out into a cold sweat.

She wasn’t afraid Kamryn would sue her. She was just worried about what it would do to her reputation.

When Mareli heard that, she was worried, too. She immediately walked toward Kamryn, without her previous haughty manner. She said politely, “Miss Ramsey, it’s all my fault. Please forgive me. I’ll make it up to you. What do you think?”

She said that specifically for the police, but she whispered to Kamryn, “You don’t want to have a hard time on the set later, do you?”

The police officer shouted, “What are you talking to her about?”

“I’m pleading with her!”

Kamryn raised an eyebrow. She knew that if she embarrassed Jenna in front of so many people, Jenna would certainly not let her off when they returned to the set.

But…

Kamryn took a deep breath and said firmly, “My request is simple. Give me 4,000 dollars for my emotional damage. And I want a serious apology from Jenna in front of the entire crew!”

“Yikes…”

Everyone was shocked!

4,000 dollars was no big deal to Jenna, but to ask her to apologize to Kamryn in front of the whole crew?

Wasn’t that asking too much?!

Kamryn looked at the police officer, saying, “Is that too much to ask?!”

The police officer shook his head. “No!”

He thought it was reasonable.

After all, it was Jenna who had ruined Kamryn’s reputation in the first place. Jenna had to clarify the truth and apologize to Kamryn.

But Jenna rejected the offer at once. “No!”

“Why not?”

“Kamryn, don’t push it too far!”

Kamryn said slowly, “You’ve been the one who’s been pushing it too far! Jenna, this is the last chance I’m gonna give you. All you have to do is apologize to me in front of the entire crew. Otherwise, I have the right to seek justice through the press and the law!”

What she said really shocked Jenna.

No matter how reluctant Jenna was, there was nothing she could do in front of the police.

So she gritted her teeth and agreed for the time being.

“Okay!”

Then the police prepared a mediation agreement for them
