Female Novel
Chapter 165
After listening to Renee’s statement, the police cast a serious look at Briar and asked, “Is what she saidtrue?”
Briar’s face paled, and she vigorously waved her hands in denial. “No, I didn’t. She slandered me andthrew my stuff out. She is the criminal here. You should arrest her, not me!”
“You know clearly if I slandered you or not.”
Renee’s pretty face was expressionless as she spoke with logic and clarity. “As owner of this property. Ihave the right to handle any item in the house. Your words have just proved that you trespassed. Andone more thing, the items in the baggage you stole are very valuable. Add that into the charges, andyou’re looking at at least three years behind bars!”
“What nonsense!”
Briar hurriedly defended herself and said, “There are only a few pieces of garments in the baggage,and they are not branded anyway. I bet they are worth less than two thousand. How can it be worth somuch!”
She regretted it right after she said that.
Renee smiled in satisfaction and looked at the police. “You heard her, Sir. She admitted it. Stop wastingtime talking with her. Just take her away.”
The police nodded and took out the handcuffs. “Please cooperate with us. Missy. We need you to go tothe police station to assist us in the investigation.”
Briar’s face turned whiter, and she backed up and hid behind Stefan. “Don’t come near me. I’ve beenwrongly accused, Stefan. Save me!”
Just then, Lydia, who had long been holding a grudge against Briar, and happened to be a turncoat,said loudly, “I can testify that Miss Desrosiers has taken Miss Everheart’s belongings! Moreover, shedid not treat the servants here as human beings. She has done many bad things when staying in thisvilla…”
Lydia recounted the bizarre and brutal things Briar had done. Everything she did could easily beconstituted as a crime. The more the police listened, the more serious they looked.
‘No, I didn’t. You shut up, shut up!”
Briar behaved like a demon that revealed its true form, pouncing on Lydia with the intent to stop herfrom talking.
She had indeed treated the servants like they were less than human and tormented them whenevershe had the chance.
She thought that they were just soulless beings without dignity and dared not resist no matter what.
She did not expect that Lydia would be the one who exposed her!
“That’s enough!”
Stefan’s face was gloomy yet dignified.
The chaotic scene quieted down immediately. Lydia did not dare to continue, and Briar also did notdare to make a scene. anymore. The two police officers exchanged glances, not knowing how to settlethis..novelbin
Though Briar’s actions were confirmed crimes, they did not have the guts to arrest people from thehands of the president of H Group.
Renee was getting tired of this. She was not surprised at how weird Briar was, nor did she care. Shejust wanted to get back. what belonged to her.
“Briar, I am going to say this one last time. Give it back to me. Otherwise, even God will not be able tosave you, let alone this
man!”
Her words, though, as intimidating as they sounded, had somewhat challenged the authority of Mr.Hunt. She seemed to have
overdone it.
Briar wailed immediately. “Just listen to her, Stef. Miss Everheart is going to kill me. You must saveme!”
Everyone thought that Stefan, as the father of the child, would protect Briar no matter what.
However, the stony–faced man said calmly. “In that case, you should cooperate and go to the policestation.”
