Chapter 132
Juliette cursed inwardly, ‘These damn rich people! They’re just lucky to be born with a silver spoon in their mouthr
She fumed. ‘If I had their family background and upbringing, they would be nothing to me!
Juliette’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred. But at that moment, she had no choice but to submit.
She began to cry loudly and suddenly bowed to Valerie.
Closing her eyes, face filled with humiliation and fists clenched, she reluctantly shouted, “L… I’m sorry…”
Gasps erupted around them.
“That’s so funny!”
“How spineless can you get?”
“Well, what do you expect from a thief? You think she’d have dignity? She already resorted to stealing. What’s pride compared to money?”
“Yeah. What a shame.”
Juliette trembled more violently as she listened to the voices around her, gritting her teeth and engraving every word and every face into her heart.
She swore she’d make them all pay for it. One day, she’d make them suffer a thousand, ten thousand times worse than she had.
Johanna sneered. “How boring.”
Sariah also seemed uninterested. “That’s it?”
Juliette didn’t dare to look up.
She couldn’t face this kind of disgrace.
But Juliette couldn’t afford to get reported to the police. She couldn’t let her uncle and aunt find out. If they did, she would be truly ruined…
Just thinking about how her own cousin had almost assaulted her hade her want to vomit.
Kelly said with disgust, “Valerie, she must’ve stolen way more from you. What we caught is probably just the tip of the iceberg.”
Valerie didn’t know for sure.
Juliette knew Valerie well. Most of what she took were things Valerie barely paid attention to. So even now, Valerie didn’t know what exactly had been
—stolen.
Valerie said, “Own up to it. What else have you stolen from me?”
Juliette stayed silent.
She had taken far too many things from Valerie. She couldn’t keep count.
And most of them had already been sold. Besides the bracelet Juliette had brought out to sell today, the only thing left was the wooden pendant in her
underwear.
Just thinking about it made her heart pound.
Juliette had that pendant since she was very, very young. Valerie probably had long forgotten it. Even Juliette forgot she had it.

Juliette had a gut feeling this pendant was incredibly important, possibly contacted to Valeria’s true identity.
Her intuition had never been wrong, and she firmly believed it again this time. That pendant absolutely could not be revested
Facing the surrounding stares, Juliette cried out, “That’s all! I’ve sold so many things for money lately. I can’t even curves anym in veranday sche most of my stuff! My uncle’s family is greedy, and you know that, Valeriet Everything I sold turned into this. This is all I have
She pulled out her bag and dumped everything out.
A bunch of red bills were scattered across the floor, along with two bank cards.
Juliette said, “That’s all I have. Just a bit of money from selling my jewelry. There are three thousand dollars in the cards. L.. I’m gréng pui earthing
Juliette sobbed even harder. “I really… can’t go on anymore. Valerie, I truly regret what i did. We’ve known each other for so many years and I still did those horrible things to you. I’m so sorry. I was heartless. Every time I think about our childhood, I cry. We were such good friends. How did it end up live
this?”
She cried miserably, hiccupping and choking on her words. Many of the onlookers who were just there for the drama started to feel sorry for her
?You suddenly regret it after you’ve
Sariah noticed things were turning unfavorable and said, “Enough already. Why didn’t you think about this before?? been caught? That’s too late!”
Valerie looked down at Juliette from above, expressionless. She said, “Yeah, we used to be such good friends. I never thought it would end like this. Juliette, why do you hate me so much?”
Valerie never understood why, after Juliette became successful, she turned on her completely. Juliette wanted to ruin her, even tried to push her down the stairs and kill her along with her unborn child.
But Juliette heard those words as if Valerie was pointing directly to what happened at the Clark family party.
Juliette cried out, “I was just… just blinded! I was
tricked by Valentina!”
Valerie didn’t believe her. But the crowd kept growing, and more people were beginning to sympathize with Juliette.
If this continued, it would turn into a story of a rich girl bullying a poor girl.
Valerie calmly took out her phone, squatted down, and started recording. She said slowly, “Sariah’s right. It’s too late for your regret. You must pay the price for your mistakes. You know how many times you’ve hurt me. At my father’s birthday party, you wanted to have two men ruin me. That’s one.”
She added, “There were several times you entered my bridal room, trying to smear my name in front of my husband. That’s another.”
Juliette wanted to deny it, but when she looked up and saw the cold, icy expression in Valerie’s eyes, a chill went down her spine. She felt fear.
Valerie continued, “I don’t know how much you’ve stolen, how many things you’ve sold, but I know you’re in a bad situation. I don’t care about money. I’ll accept your apology. However, the ten years of friendship I offered you cannot be compensated for.”
She added, “All I ask is that, from now on, you stay away from me and anyone in my life. I won’t call the police or press charges, but this is where we part ways.”
Juliette nodded, crying.
Valerie said again, “I’ll repeat myself. Whether you end up rich or poor, don’t come near me again. If you do, I won’t let you off.”
Juliette sobbed hysterically and shouted, “If I ever come near you again, may I die a horrible death!”
Valerie looked down at her. “Remember what you said today.”
She didn’t know when Juliette would be acknowledged by the Shelton family, but this recording would serve as evidence and leverage if they ever crossed paths again.

At that moment, Juliette still didn’t understand what Valerie meant. She fled in panie, wandering the streets in a daze, only to be suddenly si by a group of people.
Juliette was terrified, screamed, and tried to run, but she was quickly surrounded by more than a dozen people. There was no way out.
