Amber looked at the man’s firm and serious expression and nodded subconsciously, “I believe you.”
Jared grabbed her into his arms, “Trust me, babe. I will not let you down.”
“I do.” Amber nodded again, wrapping her arms around Jared’s back.
Jared rubbed the crevice of her neck, “Have you called the police about the robbery?”
“I did.” Speaking of serious matters, Amber’s expression immediately became tense. Her eyebrows slightly frowned, “I called the police right after the gown was robbed, and they sent someone to chase the clues I provided. They told me that they would call me as soon as they catch the bad buys. But I haven’t heard from them yet since hours ago.”
This made her, not only a little disappointed.
Jared’s eyes narrowed, “If it was just any ordinary robber, it’d be impossible for the police to not catch anyone by now. Now that they haven’t caught anyone yet, which means these are organized robbers with specific plans and motives. It’s going to be challenging to locate them. Don’t worry about it though, babe. Leave it to me, and I will handle it.”
“How are you going to...”
Before Amber could finish her words, her cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting her next words.
At first, Amber frowned, then she and Jared both looked at the coffee table.
Her cell phone was on the coffee table.
Amber’s eyes lit up immediately, “It is the police calling.”
A surprised smile appeared on her face, “Jared, the police is calling. They must have caught the bad guy and found the suit and gown.”
Looking at her happy face, Jared Farrell’s frown slightly loosened, “That’s good news! Pick up, babe.”
“Right.” Amber nodded, then grabbed the phone and answered, “Hello.”
“Hi, Ms. Reed.” A rough male voice came from the phone.
Amber Reed heard it, and realized it was the same police officer who had answered her call when the accident happened.
Amber held her phone tightly and answered immediately, “Hi. Did you catch the robber and find my clothes?”
However, there was only silence on the other end of the phone.
It made Amber’s heart froze for a while, and she had a bad premonition, which made the smile on her face slowly solidify, and finally disappeared.
Jared looked at her reaction, his eyes narrowed, “What’s wrong?”
Amber shook her head at him, indicating that she did not know.
Afterward, Amber hurriedly asked the phone again, “Officer, can you please answer my question? Did you find my gown?”
The person on the other end of the phone finally responded, but sighed, “Ms. Reed, I’m sorry, we did catch the person, but the dress...”
Amber bit her lip, “What do you mean? Was the dress not found?”
Was the dress already sold by the robber already?
“We found your dress, but something unexpected happened to it.” On the phone, the police looked at the suit and gown in front of them and shook his head helplessly, “Anyway, Ms. Reed, please be prepared and come to the police station to handle the procedure. As for the condition of your clothes, it’s better we speak in person.”
Hearing what the police said, Amber’s heart sank. She squeezed a smile on her face, and said, “Okay, I will be right there.”
After the call ended, she slowly took the phone from her ear.
Jared Farrell looked at her and asked, “Did they find your dress?”
“They did.” Amber frowned, “But the police said something had happened to the dress.”
At first, she thought that the police’s refraining attitude was because the dress was still missing.
But now that they found it, what had happened to it?
Amber bit her lip, expressing some confusion.
Jared stroked his chin for a moment, “Was it broken?”
