Chapter 112 The Truth Will Not Lie 

Daniel looked at Harper puzzledly and asked, “Aren’t the T–shirts here for sale?” 

“Of course, they’re for sale,” Harper responded. 

“Well, if it’s for sale, why can’t I touch it? If I don’t feel the material, how will I know what it’s like? I need to 

try it on as well!” 

“What? Just touching it isn’t enough, now you want to try it on? Do you realize this T–shirt costs $8,888?” 

“$8,8887 Do you think I can’t afford it?” 

“Of course, you can’t! Even if I sold a country bumpkin like you, you wouldn’t fetch that much!” 

“Alright! If that’s what you insist on, I’ll just leave.” Daniel turned to walk away. 

Just then, a familiar figure entered the scene. 

It wasn’t Jessica returning from the restroom, but Jennifer had arrived. The store sold not only men’s but 

also women’s clothing, and Jennifer was a regular customer. When Jennifer walked in, Harper 

immediately greeted her with effusive warmth. 

*Jennifer, you look stunning today!” Harper’s flattery left Daniel speechless. 

He shook his head at the peculiarities of the world–what were the chances of bumping into the same 

person every time he went shopping? 

Daniel quickly turned his head to avoid being spotted by Jennifer, but it was too late–she had already seen him. The country boy who had caused her such distress was someone she could recognize even on 

the brink of death. 

She had already decided to humiliate him every chance she got. Even if she couldn’t do much to Daniel, she was determined to make each encounter an opportunity to scorn him. 

“Country boy, what brings you here? Don’t tell me your thieving habits are acting up, and you’re looking to steal from these shops to sell? You do know that these are luxury goods stores and that every item here is valuable. The stores are also equipped with cameras. If you get caught stealing, you could be looking at ten to eight years in prison. But you’re aware that the judge could very well sentence you to three to five 

years, right?” 

To embarrass Daniel, Jennifer began painting a narrative with an assumption of crime. She depicted him as a thief, prompting the staff to suspect that he might have stolen something from the store. 

Despite the high prices of merchandise in luxury goods stores, the staff typically only earned a few thousand a month. If something was stolen, they would have to compensate for it from their own pockets. Losing just one item could mean sacrificing several months or even years of salary, which was something hourly workers like them could not afford. 

Once Jennifer finished, Harper pointed an accusing finger at Daniel, panicked by the thought.

“I’m not sure whether he stole something from your store today, but I do know he’s not to be trusted. To be on the safe side, I think you should call security and have them search him. If he has stolen anything, a thorough search will reveal it.” 

Harper swiftly grabbed the walkie–talkie and blared into it, “Security! Security! We have a thief in the shop!” 

Daniel stood with an incredulous expression. How did a simple shopping trip make him a suspect in a theft? Regardless, Daniel wasn’t interested in clarifying the situation. After all, facts don’t lie. 

Seeing Harper call for security, Jennifer had a wicked idea. She discreetly picked up a racy garter dress from the shelf and quietly approached Daniel from behind, slipping the dress into the paper bag he was holding.
