"I trust you." William cast a sullen look at Evan and then turned his gaze toward Keilani.

With a guilty conscience, Keilani looked away. Her anger and anxiety were palpable, directed as a glare at Evan.

It was Evan's fault for giving false testimony. William was her friend and would have offered her unwavering support if she insisted Sabrina had stolen her necklace. But Evan's false testimony had crumbled under Sabrina's tactics in words.

“Evan, why did you slander Sabrina? You disappoint me. Apologize to Sabrina, this instant!" William demanded with a gloomy face.

Evan, seething with frustration, clenched his fists and averted his gaze, choosing not to respond.

“Would you like me to pull up the surveillance footage?" William asked seriously, “Or do you want to be fired? Making false accusations and refusing to apologize for your wrongdoings is not the behavior I expect from my employees. I won't tolerate such actions."

Gritting his teeth, Evan said reluctantly, “I'm sorry, Sabrina."

"and?"

“I shouldn't have accused you of stealing Keilani's necklace without actually witnessing it. I apologize," Evan admitted, lowering his head, mortified.

Everyone was staring at Evan. Evan wanted nothing more than the ground to swallow him up right then and there. He didn't want to imagine what William and Liliana thought of him from now on.

William looked at Sabrina and said, "Well, that's it. Don't mention it again."

"Wait a minute. Keilani, you wrongfully slandered me for stealing your necklace and ruined my reputation. I believe you owe me an apology." Sabrina stared at Keilani with her sharp eyes, unwilling to let the matter rest just yet.

Keilani, defiant and dismissive, snorted. "I did lose my necklace.

All I did was suspect you. I didn't do anything to you. Apologize?

No way!"

Sabrina looked at William and asked pointedly, "Can a customer freely slander a photographer from Saleel Studio without offering so much as an apology?"

Sabrina sought justice from William. Caught in the crossfire, William exchanged a glance with Keilani. Keilani pouted unhappily and looked away.

William had been friends with Keilani for years. William understood her disposition and knew that she wouldn't apologize.

William said dismissively, “It's just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart, Sabrina. Well, you can leave now. I need to discuss something with Liliana."

Hearing this, Keilani raised her eyebrows and flashed a smug smile at Sabrina. "Anne, let's go. William, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
