Revelation

A silly smile appeared in Sue's face. " now you're done for". She mumbled to herself. Another victory to the great Sue Antaler, she thought.

Their evidence is already uploaded to Lucy's live stream and she knows its all over the web and people are talking about it now. She wants to laugh out loud just imagining the consequence she's going to receive. She hopes Jack will see this too. She wonders how mad he will going to be at her and he can use this as a tool for divorce and he will be hers again. A victorious thought runs like water to her head.

"What is going on here!". An authoritative voice of a woman echoes inside the boutique and everyone was surprised.

All of the people looked at the woman who speaks behind the trio who are causing another trouble.

"Oh...my...god.... It's Mrs. Phyllis Simon the president of Celestar Malls". Norene blurted out.

Phyllis looks at the annoying woman who's making a scene in one of their high end boutique.

"What's your business here and why are you making such a scene. Do you know that I can press charges against you for disturbing our business hours?". She said directly to the annoying woman.

Phyllis saw another woman holding her phone up and focusing on them. She looked at her bodyguard and he grabs Lucy's phone.

"Hey, that's my phone!..... How dare you, give it back. Your taking someone else's property that's illegal". Lucy was so furious but the man didn't listen to her. He gave the phone to his superior.

"Do you want to talk legality?". She was glaring at Lucy in grim. "You are taking an intentional video of a person without her approval while another person is slandering her in front of many. Do you think that is legal". The on-lookers inside the shop can sense the seriousness of a high and mighty Phyllis Simon.

"But we are not slandering her. She really is a thief and we have a video of her taking a jewelry box and put it in her bag". Norene took the phone and click the video then she showed it to her.

Phyllis watched the video until it was finished but her expression didn't change.

"You should be thanking us we caught a thief for you, but look at what you're doing to us. How ungrateful". Lucy rolled her eyes while her arms are resting to her waist. She feels tough and proud of herself today.

The shoppers are nodding in agreement with Lucy's words. They believed she should be rewarding them for their great deeds but the the Mighty Phyllis is being scornful than grateful to them.

"Did you even make an investigation about this or just an assumption?... A false accusations can put you in jail". She is starting to get pissed.

"Why don't you searched her bag to see the proof". Norene is challenging Phyllis.

Phyllis is getting irritated with this bunch of clowns. She looks at Azalea and see her bright and sunny face, unaffected by the situation she is in. She even saw her shrug her shoulder a bit then hand her the bag she's carrying.

Phyllis looked inside the bag and took out a jewelry box and showed it to them.

"Is this the one you are talking about!". She's waving the box in front of them.

"That's it, that's the box. The woman left it beside her when her phone rings and she just took it and hide it in her bag". Lucy is telling them what did happened just like what's in the video.

"Did you really take it?". A woman from the crowd ask Azalea.

"Yes I did". She honestly answered her.

"Azalea!!!". Lindy was in shocked when she admits it just like that without even thinking about the consequence. 'Her honesty will going to kill her'. That words are running to her head. She's still praying for her cousin to come and save her friend. She already texted him.

The crowd becomes despiteful and they are mumbling. They are castigating and scolding her.

Sue on the other hand is laughing on the inside though she hates the fact that this two phonies are going to be rewarded soon at least she gets rid of this damn nerd off her back. She can go back to Jack again.

"Can someone tell me why are you all mad at me?". Azalea is asking them candidly.

"Because you're a thief!". Norene shouted at her face and Lucy is nodding at her back smirking.

The crowd agrees to them and they criticized her.

"I don't understand why are you all keep calling me a thief when you have no solid proof about it". Azalea is dead serious now her bright and sunny face earlier becomes cold and dark.

"You are holding our proof!" Lucy shouted at her face. "Please don't try to deny it anymore. You are caught in the act why can't you just cooperate.... Can we call the police now!". Lucy is getting pissed and tired she wants her reward now. Sue told them earlier that they might get a reward and be famous if they pull this one off.

"Yes, we just called the police". Phyllis informed them and she can see the victorious smile on their faces. Then she became silent and just watching at the side. She looked at Azalea's friend and she can see the great worry in her eyes. She pity her.

"So this is your so called evidence?". Azalea is waving the box at them. "And just because you saw me put this on my bag you assumed I already stole it... Did you even ask me to whom this box really belongs to?". She paused for a while. "You already JUDGE me as a thief without any trial. And all the people here stripped me with my rights to even defend myself, how HUMAN of you". She is smiling devilishly.

Azalea's gaze is as cold as ice and she is intensely looking at her accusers. She's trying to intimidate them and she can see it is working because she can see fear starts to crawl up to their limbs and can be seen in their eyes.

"Care to know who this box belongs to?". She ask them in a low sweet voice.

"Wh..wh..who?". Norene is shaking and she stammered when she ask her.

"ME!..... everything here belongs to me, because I own this place". She said it like a child and smiled sweetly to them.

All the people there were shocked to the core. Finding out her true identity after scourging her. They can't believed that they are actually looking at the owner and designer of Franco's.

Most of the customer left in a hurry. They were ashamed of themselves and also afraid for siding to the two loonies on the loose. They offended one of the wealthiest person in the country if she recognized them she might get back at them. That's what on their mind.

But there are still remaining people who stayed. The one's who didn't tried to throw a stone at her.

"Who is Franco?". A socialite can't help herself but ask. The jewelry designer has been hidden for years and the mysteriousness of his existence becomes a great strategy for their business.

"He's my grandfather from my mother's side". She told her honestly.

Lindy who snaps back from her state of shocked covers her mouth.

"Please, stop being too honest. Do you really want to kill me?". She is about to cry. She still can't get over the life threatening situation earlier.

Azalea tried to speak but she ends up just murmuring in her hands.

"Oh, just shut up!". She shush her.

When Sue finally regained her awareness she was dumbfounded. Realizing who her real opponent is makes her waver. She was frightened and hurriedly walk away from the boutique and left her two friends who's still in awe with Azalea's revelation. They only snap back when they heard Phyllis Simon's voice.

"Congratulations for signing the certificate of destruction of your family with your own hands!". That's the last words she said and her bodyguards took them away.
