Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 516

Samuel was momentarily stunned. "I forgot about it."

Harold had served in the military his entire life and achieved great success. Though he had retired a few years ago and his official position was no longer active, his military rank remained.

Chloe had not committed any wrongdoing, so it was not hard to get her out.

After knowing that she would be released, Chloe's heart filled with joy, and the lingering anxiety finally subsided.

She followed the officer to sign the necessary documents. During the process, she noticed two other policemen escorting a woman, presumably someone who had just finished giving her statement.

The woman possessed long, sleek tresses that shimmered with luster, reaching down to her waist. She kept her head down, her hair acting as a veil and concealing her identity. Though not in her youth, her remarkable demeanor gave off an aura of elegance befitting a wealthy woman.

The officer filled his colleague in on the situation. "Caught stealing in a public place."

"Isn't that pretty common? Why do you look so puzzled?"

"Stealing is normal, but what's abnormal is that she confessed to the victim and urged them to report it to the police. It’s like she wants to go to jail or something."

"That’s pretty bold."

Chloe overheard their conversation and shifted her gaze to the woman, but she was unable to figure out what was going on. After completing the paperwork, she exited the station to reunite with Joseph.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Chloe shook her head, then nodded. "I'm fine."

It had been a long day for her today, and her stomach was aching slightly. She was not sure if it was related to the baby.

Thinking that the police had overstepped, Joseph narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did they mistreat you?"

"No. I just feel a little unwell. I'll be fine after some rest," Chloe said.

"I'll have the driver take you home," Joseph said before coming to a pause. A furrow formed on his forehead as his expression turned serious. "There's news about my mother's whereabouts. I need to go check it out."

Chloe was taken aback. She had not expected to receive news about his mother so quickly.

"Okay, go on then," she said.
