Chapter 55
Stella clicked her tongue.
‘Cheapskate. And yet, he said money is all I think about,‘ she thought.
Just then, Stella’s phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Felicity, Stella answered her phone.
Felicity’s choked voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Where are you, Stella. Hurry to the police station. They’re saying I’m involved in theft…”
Stella went pale and immediately started to panic.
“Don’t panic. I’ll be right over. Which police station are you at?”
Felicity told her the location.
After Stella hung up, she swallowed her pride and asked Keegan, “Mr. Kane, could you send me to the police station at Northville? My friend ran into some issues.”
Stella initially thought that she would need to convince him for a bit, so she did not expect him to not say a word. Instead, he gestured at Aldor to drive to the Northville police station.
On the way there, Stella was worried–sick. She was worried that Felicity had gotten into huge trouble. The moment the car pulled over, Stella dashed into the police station without even speaking to Keegan. After Stella got herself registered, she saw Felicity in the interrogation room through the glass. Felicity’s eyes were swollen from crying.
“Even though Felicity usually seems wild, her social circle is very simple. She’s never been handcuffed and interrogated by the cops, so she must be scared out of her wits,‘ she thought.
Stella felt really bad for her. She held back her emotions and asked the cop, “Mister, what crime did my friend commit?”
The cop looked her up and down. “What’s your relationship with the suspect?”
“I’m her friend.”
Then, Stella handed the cop her ID.
The cop registered her ID and said, “Someone reported her for theft. We found the victim’s stolen item in the suspect’s house.”
Stella immediately retorted, “That’s impossible. I stay with her, and I’ve never seen anything that doesn’t belong to her appear around her Did you guys make a mistake?”
The cop paused. “You two stay together? How long have you two been staying together?”
