After listening to Renee’s statement, the police cast a serious look at Briar and asked, “Is what she said true?”

Briar’s face paled, and she vigorously waved her hands in denial. “No, I didn’t. She slandered me and threw 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. I have the right to handle any item in the house. Your words have just proved that you trespassed. And one more thing, the items in the baggage you stole are very valuable. Add that into the charges, and you’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 so much!”

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 wasting time 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 to the 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 been wrongly 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, she did not treat the servants here as human beings. She has done many bad things when staying in this villa…”

Lydia recounted the bizarre and brutal things Briar had done. Everything she did could easily be constituted 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 her from talking.

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 save me!”

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 police station.”
