Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 782: Open the Door, I’m the Police!

After a while, there was a reply from the other end of the phone, "CEO Kingston, the earrings and necklace are also not genuine." His voice was trembling."It’s not your fault," Justin Kingston comforted him, "Keep this matter confidential from anyone, understood?"

"Understood."

Justin hung up the phone and spoke calmly, "Let’s not make any noise about this yet. We’ll see at the new product launch. We’ve already been collecting crime evidence against Lydia Ingram the past few days."

Aaron Abbott nodded, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Justin’s gaze fell on the ring and the bracelet, "How much did you pay for them?"

"I didn’t spend money," Aaron said, "I issued a check for five million, but she couldn’t use it. My people are following her, how do you plan to handle this?"

"Hand it over to the police," Justin said, "If this girl doesn’t receive some punishment, her life could be completely ruined. The mastermind behind this is likely Monica Usher, and the necklace and earrings should be with her."

Aaron couldn’t help but wonder, "Switched out four items, but only handed in two, how did Monica Usher agree to that?"

At this point, no one had a definite answer, but there were several guesses.

Justin and Mia Lane didn’t stay long at Aaron’s place; they needed to deal with Barbara Sutton’s matter, so they left.

They took the ring and the bracelet with them.

Given their relationship with Aaron, they didn’t mention thanking him with money. Even if they did, Aaron wouldn’t accept it; it would appear too formal.

In the departing Lamborghini, Justin dialed a private number for a policeman, giving Barbara Sutton’s address and briefly explaining what she had done.

"Got it, Mr. Kingston, we’ll take care of it right away."

After the call, Justin told the driver, "Old Chapman, head to Europoint Residences."

"Yes, Mr. Kingston."

By this time, night had already fallen.

Barbara Sutton was in her rented luxury apartment, packing her suitcase. She had already arranged for a taxi driver to take her out of the city early the next morning.

Once she left the city, she planned to transfer to another vehicle, avoiding the station to leave no ticket purchasing records.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

The guilty Barbara Sutton felt her chest tighten and glanced at the entrance door. No one knew she lived here.

Is it Monica Usher?

Barbara inexplicably felt a little flustered. Does she know Barbara took the ring and bracelet?

She didn’t dare to open the door, but the knocking continued.

"Open the door, we are the police!" The people outside shouted, "Barbara Sutton! We know you’re inside! If you don’t come out, we’ll break down the door!"

The police??

Barbara’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with terror!

"I’m counting to three! This is your last chance!"

"One! Two!"

The door opened, and two police officers outside took her hand, while another officer directly cuffed her.

"You’ve committed theft, and the amount is huge. Do you admit it?" one of the officers asked.

Then the other two entered the room, finding the suitcase she had just packed but hadn’t zipped up yet. It was obvious she was planning to run.

Barbara couldn’t argue. Since they’d precisely found her, the evidence must be conclusive. She was late and considered herself unlucky.

"Officer, what’s the maximum sentence I could get?" This was the only question Barbara could care about.

"More than three years, less than ten," the officer replied, "but in your case, it could very well be life. Sixty million worth of jewelry is no small matter."

"Sixty million?" She was shocked, having bargained it down from six million to five million with a check... how foolish!

So, did Mr. Ashford see at a glance that Barbara Sutton was clueless, just trying to fence stolen goods?

Was it Mr. Ashford who called the police??
