"You're a thief!" Lily Cooper shouted.
"Ma'am, you can't just talk nonsense like that."
Faced with Lily Cooper's struggle, Charlotte Thompson chose to let go of her hand. She took a step back, distancing herself from Lily Cooper.
"Talking nonsense? You clearly stole my bracelet. If I hadn't noticed in time, you'd have run off by now!"
Lily Cooper pointed unapologetically at Charlotte Thompson's face, raising her voice further.
The argument between Charlotte Thompson and Lily Cooper naturally attracted the attention of other people in the store.
Charlotte Thompson lowered her head to look at her palm, and upon hearing Lily Cooper's words, her brows furrowed even tighter.
The store manager, summoned by the sales clerk, was also brought out at this time. He quickly approached Lily Cooper and said respectfully:
"Miss Howard, what is happening here?"
Lily Cooper seemed to be quite familiar with the manager. She crossed her arms and lifted her chin towards Charlotte Thompson.
