Chapter 194
And, come on, she had already said so much, there’s no way she would back down!
She gritted her teeth, cocked her neck and said, “That’s right! You’re the thiet!”
Lizzie didn’t say anything, just gave a casual glance at the onlookers.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you all do me a favor and bring Mr. Hatfield here?”
Mattie heard this and her heart “sank“. She thought Lizzie was someone’s relative, but didn’t think about Isaias.
Isaias‘ relatives threw dirt on her, she must be so pissed off!
However, she thought to herself, “This little girl was probably just trying to scare people!”
She immediately started shouting again, trying to gain the upper hand, “What’s wrong? You want Mr. Hatfield to intervene for you? Let me tell you, I’m not easy to bully! I work hard here, earning my keep with my skills, I won’t take this lying down! I won’t be blamed for something I didn’t do!”
She made such a fuss that some confused workers started whispering, and the way they looked at Lizzie was a bit different.
Lizzie said she wanted to take a walk, Isaias didn’t bother, but he kept an eye on her.
Whenever there was any movement in the workshop, he would quickly

“Excuse me! Make way!”
Isaias immediately spotted Lizzie surrounded in the middle and called out urgently.
“Ms. Trevino!”
He squeezed into the crowd, pushing away the onlookers a bit, “What’s going on?”
He shouted “Ms. Trevino” and immediately everyone around quieted down.
Everyone saw Isaias being so polite to this young girl, not like how he treats the younger ones in the family, but more like… like he’s treating some important person.
Someone in the crowd immediately caught on.
“Hey, I heard yesterday that it seems like there are experts from Equinox Research Laboratory coming down to guide the work.”
“I heard about it too, seems like they’re going to produce a batch of very precise parts, with very high technical requirements.”
The factory usually produced military supplies, and sometimes took on production tasks for high–level confidential and high–tech precision parts.
This kind of work, we had to work overtime, but the bonus was also higher. So when everyone heard the news yesterday, they were all looking forward to it.
“No way… Is this the researcher from Equinox Research Laboratory?”

“So young? Doesn’t look like it!”
“Yeah, this girl looks only a few years older than my maid at home!”
Whispers started to spread.
Then, the workers who had previously looked at Lizzie with doubt, all turned their gaze towards Mattic.
That’s a researcher! They used to earn high salaries and enjoy government benefits as senior intellectuals!
Can anyone fancy this pair of shoes?
And what if we upset the researchers and it affects the production of those precision parts, preventing their factory from producing them?
There’s more than just their factory, there’s another one in the next city!
Mattie was being watched by everyone, feeling her scalp tingling and her face turning red and white alternately. She sensed something was wrong and was afraid she had messed with the wrong person.
But if she admits now that the shoes were stolen by her, she will definitely lose her job!
Lizzie looked at Mattie with a half–smile, “You just admitted it, didn’t you? One of us is definitely the thief.”
Even though there’s no solid proof, everyone thinks Lizzie ain’t the thief now.
Since she isn’t, then Mattie definitely is!
Mattie stuck out her neck and adamantly denied, “I’m not a thief! I didn’t steal anything!”

Tabitha in the crowd had been frowning and pondering since just now, feeling like something was off.
At that moment, she remembered and immediately walked out of the crowd. shouting. “Mr. Hatfield, these shoes were produced in our factory last week, and all the shoes have been packaged and stored.”
In other words, there couldn’t possibly be any in the workshop.
If there were any, they were probably hidden by someone and only taken out after a while so that no one would notice when they were taken away.
Lizzie just arrived today, it definitely wasn’t her.
That’s it…
Everyone looked at Mattie all at once.
Isaias‘ face was so black it could drip water, his sharp gaze pierced Mattie like a knife.
“Mattie! Why don’t you come clean?!”
His voice was full of suppressed anger, “He even embarrassed Lizzie in front of others! And wrongly accused her of being a thief!”
Mattie was scared by his loud shout, she trembled all over, and she stammered, “I…I didn’t…it wasn’t me…”
Isaias saw her still trying to argue, he ran out of patience, waved his hand abruptly, and said to someone next to him, “Go! Get the security department people here! Let them take her away and interrogate her thoroughly! What else did she steal?”
