The Wife In Disguise

“Call out your person in charge.”

In the bakery, a middle-aged woman slapped tables and kicked chairs, yelling.

Evie heard the commotion and hurried out to inquire.

“Madam, I’m the person in charge here. What can I do for you?”

The middle-aged woman looked her up and down, “You’re the person in charge here? Why did I hear that the person in charge here is an ugly bitch? Why didn’t she come out? Does she feel guilty?”

Hearing this, Evie’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but still responded in a good-natured manner, “Dear customer, can you make things clear first? What exactly is your problem?”

“Yeah, don’t keep yelling. Tell us first why you’re angry.”

“Talk about it first!”

There were some frequent visitors in the store who were buying cakes and all helped Evie out by asking the woman questions.

The middle-aged woman looked at them and said, “I bought some pastries from this store this morning. My grandson ate them and vomited and had diarrhea. And the doctor said it was food poisoning. So tell me, is the shop owner malicious?!”

Food poisoning?

Several customers looked at each other and were a little nervous.

“No way! We buy pastries here all the time and this has never happened.”

“That’s right. The store looks like it does a pretty good job in hygiene.”

“…”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman shouted: “It didn’t happen to you, so of course you can say sarcastic remarks! The person in charge of this store is an ugly bitch. When people are ugly, their hearts are easily twisted. Maybe she is stimulated by something and takes revenge on society!”

That was an overstatement.

Evie was angry, “Please don’t talk nonsense. My sister is kind-hearted. She is not what you said.”

“Kind-hearted? I think she was born cowardly!”

The middle-aged woman said ironically: “I heard that your sister is Mrs. Johnson ? You know, two days ago, her husband slept with her best friend, but she dared not speak up because of her self-abasement, and still treats her as her best friend. This kind of coward person is most likely to be psychologically distorted and do something to retaliate against society.”

When these words came out, people were in awe.

“Oh my God. There is such a thing?”

“What she said is so detailed. It must be true.”

“So is the cake in this bakery still edible?”

“Definitely can’t eat it. It’s horrible.”

“…”

Initially, the regulars were hesitated, then slowly accepted what the middle-aged woman had said and asked for a refund.

The middle-aged woman had her arms crossed with a smug look on her face.

“No, it’s not what you’re talking about.”

Evie was so anxious that she wanted to explain, but didn’t know where to start.

At that moment, a woman’s clear and pleasant voice came from the stairway.

“Please provide some evidences. Denigrate others without evidence is a violation of the law.”

Violet came down from upstairs and spoke in a soft voice.

“Violet.”

Evie rushed over her with an anxious look on her face.

Violet smiled reassuringly toward her, then walked toward the middle-aged woman.

The woman looked her up and down, “Who are you again?”

“Who I am is none of your business. Who are you? You’d better explain.”

Violet shook the phone in her hand, “I have just recorded your words. I hope you can make things clear, otherwise, I don’t mind calling the police now. Let’s go to the police station and talk about it.”

Hearing these words, the woman’s face visibly stiffened.

“What do you want me to say? What I just said is clear enough. This store sucks that caused my grandson to be poisoned!”

“Is that so? Then may I ask you, at what time in the morning did you come to this store to buy pastries?”

“I, uh, came in around 10 o’clock.”

The woman’s eyes rolled up and she blurted out a time.

“Did you come and buy it yourself?”

“Yes!”

“Okay.”

Violet had a calm face, “Evie, go and check the surveillance footage to see if she came to our store around 10 o’clock.”

“Okay.”

Evie nodded and was going to check the surveillance.

When the woman heard this, her eyes flashed with hesitation.

“No, I misremembered. I didn’t come in to buy it myself in the morning. My daughter-in-law did it.”

“Is that so?”

Violet looked at her and asked a cold and rhetorical question.

“Sure.”

“No, I remember you initially said that you were the one who bought the pastries at this store. So how did it turn out that your daughter-in-law came to buy them again?”

“That’s right. I heard it too.”

A few people next to her retorted suspiciously.

The woman was a bit flustered, “You heard it wrong. I came to buy pastries, but I didn’t enter the door. I was standing outside. It was my daughter-in-law.”

“Is that so? Then tell me, please, which position were you standing in?”

Violet smiled slightly, “Madam, don’t worry. There are cameras everywhere with no dead angles. As long as you really came in, I believe what you said is true.”

“I …”

The woman was unable to speak for a moment.

Violet turned upwards her corners of mouth, “Madam, let me remind you again. Public slander and defamation is a violation of the law. I’ve heard that the Johnson Group’s legal team is quite powerful, so I wonder how many years you’ll be sentenced in this case?”

The woman was scared.

She just took money from someone and came over to make a mess. She did not want to be in jail!

“I, I’m probably mistaken. My grandson just has gastroenteritis. It’s not about the cake. I.. I’m going to leave.”

The woman finished her words and left in a huff.

“So she is here to make trouble!”

“I always buy cakes from this store. The quality can still be guaranteed.”

“I think it must be a competitor who is deliberately looking for someone to mess up!”

“…”

People were talking and Violet listened to them.

Was it a competitor coming to mess up?

Not necessarily!

The woman came looking for her, an ugly woman. And it was clear that she just came for her.

Besides, she knew Helena and Louis slept together. But why did she know?

“Please rest assured that the hygiene of our bakery is always great and the products used are the most expensive and best. So please continue to support our store.”

Evie gave everyone a bow.

A farce came to an end, and the crowd was relieved to buy their pastries and left.

“That person just now has gone too far. She actually came to slander you.”

Evie spoke up in exasperation.

Violet returned to her senses and smiled, “It’s okay. We’ll solve this problem. Keep busy.”

She probably had some ideas that someone was probably targeting her on purpose!

Who was it?

The name of a person flashed in her mind. Violet compressed her lips and slowly went upstairs.

Only she had just reached the upper floor when someone followed her noisily upstairs.
