Chief Lee glanced at Hailey and Tyler and could immediately tell that they had an extraordinary relationship.
Chief Lee said, "Ms. Camden, we don't have the right to arrest Mr. Jordan until there is definite evidence against him."
"If you insist that we arrest him, please produce evidence like videos or photos of him stealing the watch or any proof of him selling the watch in exchange for money."
"Also, stop calling your ex-husband a pauper or a good-for-nothing. After all, the two of you used to be a married couple, and those words are just too hurtful."
Hailey Camden snorted coldly, "I'm not wrong. If he was a little more competent, I wouldn't have divorced him!"
"You were the one who initiated a divorce with Jordan... Mr. Steele?"
Still looking incredibly smug, Hailey answered, "Yeah, I initiated the divorce! Has he already regretted it?"
The police officer didn't dare to reveal Jordan's true identity and hence had no choice but to smile and give Hailey a thumbs-up.
Deep down, he thought, 'You should be the one regretting your decision to divorce the CEO of Ace Corporation, who has a net worth of billions of dollars!'
Seeing that the two police officers were leaving, Hailey asked again, "Um... was there a woman in his room?"
Chief Lee shook his head and said, "Mr. Steele is staying alone in the room. There wasn't anyone else."
Hailey was in a much better mood, and she muttered softly, "I knew it. He still loves me."
Seeing that the arrogant Hailey still didn't know the huge mistake she had created, Chief Lee sighed and left.
After the two left, Tyler asked in bewilderment, "Why did they become so polite to Jordan after coming downstairs?"
Hailey didn't pay attention to these details and simply said, "I need to hurry up and call my mom to tell them to collect evidence!"
As soon as Hailey took out her cell phone, she received a call from Drew before calling Sylvie.
"Hello, Drew."
Hailey rarely received phone calls from Drew. Still, they had recently started contacting each other rather frequently, probably because of Jordan.
Pretending to be affectionate, Drew asked, "Hailey, how are things on your side? I heard you called the police. Did they not take him to the police station?"
Hailey replied truthfully, "No, the police officers said that they couldn't arrest him because there wasn't any evidence."
"Evidence? What kind of evidence do they want?" Drew asked.
Hailey answered, "Evidence for the theft of his watch or a receipt of the sale of the watch."
Drew thought about it for a while and felt that it was impossible for there to be any evidence of Jordan stealing the watch because he wasn't the culprit to begin with.
However, now that the watch was in Drew's hands, he could just fabricate evidence against Jordan to accuse him of selling the watch!
Drew said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll find out who he sold the watch to. Then, rest assured, I'll put him behind bars!"
After hanging up, Hailey panicked and continuously ruffled and fiddled with her hair.
