Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483 Tables Turned

Faye screamed so loud that it sounded through the entire building.

At 9 in the morning, police officers flooded in and out of the bungalow.

At that moment, one of them was recording her testimony. “Miss Anderson, are you sure that you’re the only person who knows the passcode of the safe?”

“Yes.” While swinging her wrists, Faye replied irritably, “It’s the third time you’ve asked me that same question. How many times do you expect me to repeat myself?! I told you that the jadeite stone I bought using 10 million was kept in the safe. It was still there when I was up last night. When I looked into the safe this morning after waking up, the jadeite was already gone. Why are you all wasting your time by asking me so many questions instead of catching the thief?! Is this how you spend the people’s tax money?”

“Apologies, Miss Anderson. We’re only doing this to hopefully solve the case as soon as possible. That’s why we have to keep looking into details. Please cooperate with us!” The one who recorded her testimony was a newbie, so his way of speaking didn’t sound authoritative enough.

Knowing that he was just a rash fellow, she simply ignored his words before calling out, “Who is the person in charge?! Is there no one who calls the shots here?!”

Just as she said that, a man wearing plain clothes came over from the direction where the safe was located.

“Miss Anderson,” the man greeted her expressionlessly.

“Are you their superior?” Faye glanced at the man with a dissatisfied look before ordering him, “I want you to send people to search every inch of this bungalow and its surroundings. Find my jadeite stone back, or I will make a complaint about your delay and negligence at work. You will have to be responsible for my loss!”

“Pardon my straightforwardness, Miss Anderson. Your room and its surrounding showed no signs of intrusion at all. The safe was even opened using the passcode…” The man trailed off as a troubled look was formed on his face.

“What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I stole it myself?!” Faye said angrily. “I don’t think you’ve grasped this situation yet––I’m the daughter of the Anderson Family. Do you think I’ll steal from my own family?!”

The man lowered his gaze before saying in an indirect manner, “I don’t mean it that way. I just wanted to ask if there’s a chance that you left the jadeite stone somewhere else and forgot about it?”

Hearing that, she crossed her arms before replying in a hostile tone, “Do I look like I have dementia?”

The man didn’t want to argue with her either. So, he simply shot his colleague a look as a sign for the person to bring over the safe.

“Miss Anderson, may I ask what’s inside?” the man questioned.

“My prized possession, of course.” The raise of her voice was a little awkward. “I asked you to come and find my jadeite stone, not to question me. Why are you trying to touch my things?!”

The man acted like he didn’t hear her complaints and took the safe into his hands. “Miss Anderson, what is the passcode?”

“I don’t know.” She turned away in anger. She really didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

“Since you refuse to cooperate, we’ll just try ourselves.” After he said that, he put the safe onto the table before attempting to crack it.

Frankly, she wasn’t worried that they might open the safe and see Elise’s stone. After all, they didn’t know the passcode, and the police had no right to damage a citizen’s property.

What she was more worried about was which string to pull to find her jadeite stone back.

Suddenly, the sound of the safe unlocking could be heard.

Turning over, she could see that the safe had already been cracked.

At this moment, the man scanned through the items in the safe before turning to look at Faye. After that, he turned the opening of the safe to face her.

“Miss Anderson, take a look. Is this your jadeite stone?”

At once, she was so shocked that she put her hands over her mouth which was hung open.

How is that possible? The safe was supposed to be containing Elise’s stone. However, she was now seeing the jadeite stone that she bought!

She couldn’t say that it wasn’t––she didn’t have the guts to.

Looking at her hesitant look, the police officer made a decision.

With a dark expression, he stood up before chastising Faye. “Since your item has been found, we will leave now. Hopefully, you will check things through next time. Don’t waste police resources time just like that! Landred City isn’t like Athesea. We would always plan before doing things. We don’t have the time to fool around with you, Miss Anderson! We’re done here. Head out, boys!”
