Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 22

Amanda stood by, watching over him.

“By the way, Elena, is the young master of the Sinclair family okay? Didn’t you send him to the hospital for surgery?” Amanda asked with concern.

“He’s fine. The surgery was a success!”

“Elena is so capable!”

Just as they were celebrating the prospect of Daniel standing again, their neighbor, John, came running over.

“Mrs. Whelan! Mrs. Whelan! It’s bad! Something happened!”

Amanda and Elena rushed out.

“John, what’s wrong?”

“Mrs. Whelan, it’s bad news. Ben has been arrested by the police!”

“How could that be? What happened?” Amanda was frantic.

“It’s like this: Oliver at the construction site claimed Ben stole materials to sell. They got into an argument and started fighting. You know how strong Ben is—he knocked Oliver flat. The guy’s been sent to the hospital, and the police found the stolen goods where Ben sleeps, so they took him away!”

Amanda stumbled back a few steps.

“Ben! Ben...”

“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll go handle it.” Elena supported her.

“You... you’re going? You’re just a young girl, how can you resolve this?”

“Trust me, I’ll get Big Brother out. I’ll go to the police station first to understand the situation and see him. Don’t worry!”

With that, Elena headed out.

“I know. I believe my brother. With his intellect, he couldn’t pull off something like this.”

Big John: “...”

True enough. Ben was simple-minded, a straight shooter with no guile. He probably didn’t even realize those scraps could be sold for money. Because of that, people on the site often bullied him. But only behind his back—face to face, no one was a match for Ben.

“Take me to see where he sleeps,” Elena said.

Although Ben often went home, the site had prefab dormitories for resting or staying overnight during overtime.

Under Ben’s bed, Elena found a box with some random debris. The "stolen goods" had already been seized as evidence. Some machinery parts were copper or iron and could be sold for cash. Some workers would hide them and sell them externally for extra money.

Elena walked out and scanned the prefab structures.

“Aren’t there cameras installed around here?”
