The shop assistant wanted to say something more, but Riley interrupted her with an apologetic expression.
“Oh, silly me! I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I was so absentminded that I forgot to pay for it.”
As she spoke, Riley took out her credit card from her bag and handed it to the shop assistant. “I’ll pay for it with this.”
I was too surprised to react.
Riley actually helped me.
She helped me without hesitation, protecting my reputation and solving the embarrassing problem in one fell swoop
Even Ivy couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
“Riley’s such a good friend!”
When I met Riley’s sincere eyes, I couldn’t help but feel guilty.
I had only been using her from the very beginning, whereas she trusted me and was willing to help me when I was in trouble.
I looked at Riley with sincere gratitude and mouthed, “Thank you.”
Riley gave me a kind smile, full of elegance and grace.
Just now, Janiya had been gloating and watching the fun from afar. But as soon as Riley intervened, her expression changed. The now anxious
Janiya quickly walked back towards us.

“Debra’s a liar and a thief. Don’t let her fool you, anxiously, fiddling with the hem of her blouse.
Janiya said
Riley glanced at her and said indifferently, “Please watch your tongue.
Debra isn’t just my assistant. She’s my friend. I hope you’ll respect her from now on.”
Janiya was tongue-tied for a second.
In a daze, she asked in disbelief, “Friend? How could someone like her be your friend?”
Janiya’s insulting words made Riley, who was always so gentle and dignified, a little angry. Her expression suddenly turned icy cold. “I can tell you what kind of person my friend is. She is not a Liar or a thief. As for how the ring got into Debra’s purse, I believe that you know it better than anyone else.”
Janiya’s expression darkened.
Just then, the shop assistant returned with Riley’s credit card. After handing the credit card back to Riley, she whispered something in
Riley’s ear. There was a flash of surprise on Riley’s face, but the next second, she quickly calmed down and nodded.
After the shop assistant left, Riley handed me the ring she had just bought and said, “Take it, Debra. Please be careful in the future.
