Translator: 549690339
“Hey, Mia. How come you’re calling me? Fancy a game this afternoon?
What? The wedding dress? Yeah, you saw it on my WeChat Moments, right? My son-in-law bought it for my daughter. It’s a diamond wedding dress with exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine diamonds! All real ones, and the largest one is three carats.
How much? It’s alright, barely tens of millions. Just pocket change for my son-in-law.
Valid gamble? What valid gamble? Hey, hey, hey…”
Huh?
Amanda put down the phone, a puzzled look on her face. The conversation was cut off halfway, leaving no clue about what the person on the other end was driving at.
Could it be that they were still shocked by the Snowden’s wedding dress that cost tens of millions?
With this thought, a smug smile appeared on Amanda’s face.
From now on, she finally had something to show off in front of her friends.
Not everyone could afford a diamond wedding dress worth tens of millions.
She couldn’t wait to show off in front of her friends.
Bang, bang, bang…
However, when Amanda was at the height of her happiness, there came a thunderous engine sound outside the door of the Jones Family mansion.
Immediately after, she heard someone outside shouting to surround the Jones Family mansion, not letting even a fly escape.
This…
All the Jones Family members were alerted. Jacob Bright rushed out of Snowden’s room with a panicked face, hurriedly saying, “Did you all hear that? There seems to be a lot of people outside!”
The Jones Family members nodded, and Old Madam Jones, leaning heavily on her cane, quickly made her way to the yard.
Wow!
One glance, and all the members of the Jones Family, along with Jacob Bright, were horrified by the scene before them.
Outside the Jones Family, there was a dense crowd of Sayon Patrol officers, numbering in the hundreds. Each one of them was armed to the teeth, ready for battle.
Even the Patrol’s armoured vehicles were parked across the entrance of the Jones Family’s mansion.
These were the Sayon Supervision Department’s people, all of them armed with real live weapons…not just Jones Family members, even Jacob hadn’t seen such a big scene before.
Surely, a spectacle of this magnitude only occurs in the movies, right?
Why is this happening in front of the Jones Family mansion today?
And judging by their appearances, they’re clearly targeting Jones Family. The nimble patrol officers have already surrounded the entire mansion.
It seems like even a fly would have a hard time slipping past them.
Phew!
Seeing this, Old Madam Jones couldn’t help but gasp for breath. Her hand gripping the cane was covered in cold sweat and she immediately appeared extremely frightened.
Will Jones and others weren’t faring any better. Their knees trembled uncontrollably, like scared birds.
With a gulp, Old Madam Jones made a swallowing motion, suppressing the fear in her heart. Slowly, she walked out of the courtyard and opened the door.
“Offi… officer, may I know what’s this about?” Old Madam Jones asked, her voice barely more than a trembling whimper, as she faced Bentley.
Although she didn’t know the man standing before her was none other than the head of the Sayon Supervision Department, his appearance suggested he was the head of these patrol officers.
Who but an important person could command so many patrolling officers?
Therefore, Old Madam Jones dared not act rashly in front of Bentley.
After hearing Old Madam Jones’s words, Bentley sneered coldly, pulling out an arrest warrant: “Now we suspect that you all are involved in a large-scale theft case.
All related parties must come back with us to assist in the investigation!”
This…
At hearing this, Old Madam Jones’s face was blank with confusion.
It wasn’t until then that several policemen from the Patrol emerged from the Jones’s mansion, carrying a wedding dress adorned with diamonds.
The Jones family had no idea when these officers had entered, but they were taken aback when they saw them carrying the diamond-studded wedding dress.
At this moment, Snowden Jones watched as her wedding dress was taken out of the house. She indignantly shouted, “What are you doing!? This is my wedding dress! Did you get my approval before taking it out?
You’re part of the Sayon Supervision Department, don’t you have to abide by the law? How are you any different from robbers!?”
Your wedding dress?
Upon hearing this, Bentley sneered again, and immediately tossed out several printed documents: “Open your bloody eyes and see if this is truly your wedding dress!
This wedding dress, designed by a famous Italian designer, each diamond has a unique identifier. There’s only one like it in the world, worth 32 million, and was purchased by the Royal Group a week ago!
Tell me, is your name David Herb or is there anyone here named David Herb?”
This…
Snowden Jones was dumbfounded and rendered speechless. Her mind was in a state of chaos.
What exactly happened? Wasn’t the news on TV false? Wasn’t it all manipulated by White Mitchell?
How…
Snowden Jones, confronted with this reality, was speechless and left in utter shock, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Amanda quickly ran out to explain: “Officer, I think you’ve made a mistake. This wedding dress was bought by my son-in-law from a bridal shop for my daughter.
How can it belong to the Royal Group? There must be a mistake. It’s certainly not the one from the Royal Group. Even if you gave us a hundred guts, we wouldn’t dare steal the Royal Group’s wedding dress.
Officer, isn’t it that scoundrel White Mitchell who has been misleading you? Don’t believe him, he’s full of lies. Look, he even hired a hacker to tamper our TV and broadcast a fake advertisement!”
Having said that, Amanda eagerly took out her cellphone, ready to bite back at White Mitchell.
However, Bentley shot her a look as though she were an idiot: “The news is real, issued by the Royal Group as a reward!
Also, our operation this time was commissioned by the Royal Group, aiming to arrest you!
Come on, surrender now, a 32 million wedding dress, you dared to steal, never enough even if they swallow an elephant! Take them all away!”
Wow!
Only after hearing these words did Amanda realize that the reward news was indeed real!!!
No wonder her mahjong partners mentioned something fitting just a while ago. That damned White Mitchell, based on his tone, most likely reported her.
Damn it! She was actually reported by him?
A mixture of anger and shock filled Amanda’s heart, her face a picture of complex emotions.
The rest of the Jones family weren’t feeling any better either, their faces wore troubled expressions as they obediently held out their hands, watching as the shiny handcuffs were placed around their wrists.
At this point, seeing the situation, Jacob Bright said resolutely: “Do you all remember what I said yesterday? The wedding dress belongs to White Mitchell! It’s not ours!
This wedding dress was simply temporarily stored at the Jones’s, it must have been stolen by that rascal White Mitchell! You all hear me clearly!?
We absolutely mustn’t let that bastard implicate us!”
