Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 

“Ms. Hanks, this has nothing to do with Mr. Synder. Call the police if you want to and settle it however you want,” Aurelia declared. 

Eva laughed. “Do you really think I won’t dare call the police? Very well. Let’s see if you can keep being so stubborn later.” 

Eva enjoyed watching people cave. To her, no one was untamable. She wanted to destroy Aurelia’s pride and teach her a lesson. 

Eva immediately called the police and emphasized the value of the necklace, hinting that Aurelia broke the necklace on purpose to seek revenge. 

She thought that Aurelia would be down on her knees after hearing what she said. But when she turned around, she saw Leslie tilting Aurelia’s head toward him. 

He completely ignored Eva and stared intently at Aurelia. “Why did you stand in front of me?” 

“What? Is this the time you want to discuss this?” Aurelia was taken aback by his question. 

Leslie was so close to her that she could feel his breath caressing her nose’s tip. 

This was definitely not the occasion to feel shy, but her heart raced when she saw his face. Was Leslie aware of what he was doing? Everyone was watching them now. 

Eva was furious that she was being ignored and yelled, “What are you doing?” 

Leslie shot her an impatient look as though Eva had interrupted his plan. 

Aurelia quickly grabbed Leslie’s arm and whispered, “Mr. Synder, this isn’t your concern. Don’t get involved. I’ll handle it myself.” 

As she spoke, a group of police officers entered. 

“Who called the police?” one of them asked. 

“I did.” Eva raised her hand and pointed at Aurelia. “She’s the one who damaged our jewelry. She refuses to admit it, so please take her away.” 

The officer turned to Aurelia and asked sternly, “Is what she’s saying true?” 

Aurelia took a deep breath and said, “I’m willing to cooperate with the investigation.”

Since Aurelia didn’t resist, the officer didn’t apprehend her and nodded in approval. ” Please come with us for questioning, then.” 

Aurelia nodded. “Okay.” 

She made to leave, but Leslie held her back. He looked at her and assured, “It’s going to be alright.” 

Aurelia felt the warmth in her palm and was momentarily speechless, so she simply mumbled in acknowledgment. 

Meanwhile, Eva, Kimberly, and their group were also taken in for questioning at the police station. 

Inside the police station, everyone present was on Eva’s side, so their testimonies were mostly consistent. They all blamed Aurelia for breaking the jewelry out of resentment towards Eva. 

Aurelia was the only one who insisted that she tripped over a wire at the scene. 

The officer slammed down the witness statements and looked at Aurelia intently as if he was trying to break through her mental defenses. 

“Aurelia, although the jewelry is valuable, honesty is what truly matters here. Lying before the law will only make things worse for you. Remember, honesty is the best response. If you lie, your punishment will be more severe,” the officer warned solemnly. 

“I’m not lying. I’m very sure that I tripped over a wire, and the briefcase was clearly open before this,” Aurelia said. 

Since she refused to cave, the officer pursed his lips slightly and said, “In that case, you better be prepared. If we find out that you’re lying after our investigation, the consequences will be severe.” 

“I’ll take responsibility for my choice,” Aurelia said confidently.
