Chapter 56
Celeste didn’t have a receipt. The ring was bought by Liam, so the receipt was with him, of course
“Officer, is the person who reported the theft named Liam?”
The officer looked at her in surprise, “you stote from someone you knew?”
Celeste’s mouth twitched, gritting her teeth, “He’s my husband?”
“What’s your proof?”
For the first time, Celeste felt it was hard to communicate with the police the decided not to say more and called Liam directly
As soon as the call connected, Liam’s deep voice came through, “What’s wrong?”
Suppressing her anger, Celeste coldly said, “Come in here and explain things to the officer
Liam seemed to know what had happened, as he hung up without asking any questions.
Celeste became more certain that Liam did it on purpose
In fact, Celeste was just in a hurry when she saw Trisha in trouble. If she had calmed down and thought about it, she would have realized that a theft case involving millions wouldn’t be handled casually at a local police station.
As soon as Liam entered, Celeste pulled him over, “Officer, this is the person who reported the theft, and he’s my husband”
Liam didn’t deny it
The officer looked at Liam, then at Celeste, “He’s your husband, but you don’t live together?”
Celeste didn’t know how to answer.
Liam, however, seemed to be enjoying the show, raising his eyebrows, “You should explain.”
Celeste glared at him, holding back for a moment before saying, “We had a fight recently, so I moved out and stayed with my friend. The ring is mine, and I took it with me. My friend is not a thief.”
The officer frowned, “You two had a fight, so you reported someone else?”
