The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 120

Jessica's firm stance took Samuel by surprise. He couldn't quite understand why she was so fired up; after all, Daniel was just a mere assistant. Even if Daniel was wronged, it didn't warrant such a strong reaction. From what she was saying, she seemed ready to press charges. Samuel just didn’t get it.

Despite the rivalry, Harrisons and Matthews were far from being sworn enemies, and it wouldn’t be wise to clash with the Matthews over such a small incident. Considering this, Samuel’s face broke into a friendly smile.

"Please, Jessica, don't be upset. If it's a misunderstanding, and my security did wrong your assistant, I'll apologize."

"It's my assistant who was wronged, not me! If anyone should apologize, it's to him!"

"So you're saying I should apologize to your assistant?"

"Whoever accused my assistant should apologize to him! And if you, Samuel, think my assistant is a thief, you owe him an apology too! Otherwise, suing everyone involved wouldn't be a big deal for me."

At that moment, Jennifer quietly whispered to Harper, "Earlier, I saw that country guy take something and put it in his bag."

With Jennifer’s tip, Harper pondered her next move. Jessica was pressuring Samuel, which put him in a tough spot. If Harper could find evidence of Daniel’s theft right in front of Samuel, it could resolve his crisis, and who knows, she might be rewarded with a promotion or even end up climbing to a top position!

The more Harper thought about it, the more excited she got. Without delay, she jumped forward, pointing at Daniel and accusing, "He's the thief! I have proof!"

Hearing Harper's claim, Samuel immediately responded, "Where's the evidence?"

Harper pointed at Daniel's bag, "The stolen item is in that bag."
