Chapter 63 Search Them One By One
Ruth’s expression soured after Kate’s remarks. She certainly wouldn’t slap herself ten times as Kate demanded, but seeing George holding a stack of receipts, Ruth felt uneasy.
Could George really find something incriminating in those receipts? Ruth currently had a few small yet expensive items on her, and together with what Holly had, it could amount thousands, maybe even 100 thousand!
George worked swiftly through the receipts, having been the one to create the mess himself. Hist memory was excellent, and he handed Kate a list of missing items respectfully. “Madam, these receipts detail the missing items. Please take a look.”
Kate scanned through them, her expression darkening. “What? So many items are missing?”
George held a thick pile of receipts, about twenty or thirty sheets in total.
Holly and Ruth exchanged worried glances, suddenly flustered. They didn’t expect George to identify so many items! Does George really keep every receipt? How else could there be so many?
Kate’s eyes turned icy. “Very well. Gather everyone from Summer Estate and search them one by
one.”
At the mention of searching, Ruth and Holly’s faces turned unnatural as they silently cursed.
What’s Kate up to? She used to turn a blind eye to these things before and ignore everything Eric gave her.
Why the sudden change?
The servants of Summer Estate were quickly assembled. Kate’s cold gaze swept over them, her voice slightly hoarse. “Anyone who took something from the storage room, confess now, and your punishment may be lighter. If you don’t turn yourself in and get caught during the search…
Kate didn’t finish her sentence, but her tone was threatening.
The servants of Summer Estate immediately began to speak up.
“Madam, even if you offered me a fortune, I wouldn’t dare touch your belongings!”
“Yes, Madam, I’m innocent. Feel free to search!”
