“Considering how expensive that handkerchief is, it definitely qualifies as a criminal offense. Jean is just digging her own grave now. Lacey was originally planning to let it slide, but Jean had to run her mouth and make it worse… If the cops actually come, Jean won’t have any room to deny it.”
“She totally deserves it! She got caught stealing and still has the nerve to deny it. This kind of person needs a lesson from the cops!”
“Lacey, you’re way too nice. Just call the cops and watch her squirm!”
Jean chuckled softly and pointed casually at Lacey’s phone. “Go ahead. Call the cops.”
Everyone around froze in surprise.
Has Jean completely lost her mind?
At a time like this, shouldn’t she be begging for mercy, crying and pleading with Lacey to let her off the hook?
Yet she didn’t seem afraid of the police at all.
This girl is actually insane!
Lacey wasn’t about to go easy on her, either. She was determined to take this to the end. “Fine! You asked for it. We’ll just wait here till the cops show up.”
Without hesitation. Lacey dialed 911.
News of police arriving at Central Theater quickly spread across social media.
“Apparently, the cops just showed up at Central Theater! Someone said they saw police cars outside. Anyone know what’s going on?”
“Aren’t they hosting the Hope Cup finals today? Did something happen?”
“My relative works there, and he said there was some kind of theft involving the participants. Someone called the police…”
“Theft: What did they steal?”
“Seems like the tree actress from Stellarford Academy stole something from the lead girl. It was worth tens of thousands.”
“The tree girl stole something? She looked so innocent!”
“Can’t judge a book by its cover, I guess.”
“If cops are involved, it’s probably serious.”
“She was actually getting pretty popular after today’s performance. Guess she decided to sabotage herself!”

Jean nodded and spoke clearly, “It’s actually pretty simple. The handkerchief was mane alla Lacey could find her assumed mine was hers, and then took it from me. The thing is.
The officer kept nodding and writing notes, then frowned in thought. Maybe we should check the surveillance footage”
Jean shrugged. “Actually, there’s no need for surveillance footage
The officer looked up, puzzled “How so!”
Jean glanced briefly at Lacey before turning back to the officer eyes glittering with a lively confidence this brand is famous for customizing their products–they engrave the buyer’s last name onto the ”
The officer’s eyes brightened. “You’re saying there’s an engraved name on this handkerchief
Jean nodded with a smile.
Lacey, however, froze momentarily in confusion.
She had never even heard that this brand offered name engraving services.
How would someone as poor as Jean know that?
Lacey, may I take a closer look? The officer politely reached out
“Of course.” Lacey handed it over confidently, feeling she had nothing to hide.

As the officer inspected the handkerchief carefully, he quickly found something engraved neatly in the corner
The word “Ginger” stood out unmistakably.
Realizing this, the officer instinctively turned to Jean, “Miss Jean, it seems this really is your handkerchief. It clearly has the name ‘Ginger engraved here.”
Everyone in the room, except Jean stared in disbelief
Shocked murmurs filled the air.
“How can that be? Lacey whispered, stunned. The officer handed the handkerchief back to her, and the hastily checked for herself—sure enough, the engraving “Ginger” was right there!

The evidence was right in front of her eyes, yet Lacey still couldn’t believe Jean actually owned something this expensive Then where on earth had her handkerchief gone!
The crowd was now utterly speechless. The entire situation had taken a dramatic turn-
