Although the two of them were a bit surprised, the man and woman before them—not only was the woman stunningly beautiful, with an air of nobility about her, but even the man was quite handsome, with fair skin. Although his looks weren’t the kind that would dazzle you at first glance like the blazing sun, he had a gentle, spring-like charm that could easily win people’s favor without them even realizing it.

But the two also knew that the more cunning someone was, the less you could judge them by appearances. Perhaps it was precisely because of their extraordinary looks that they became thieves. After all, as a thief, you either have to be so ordinary that you blend into a crowd and go unnoticed, making it easy to approach your target, or you have to be so handsome or beautiful that you easily win the favor of the opposite sex, lowering their guard and making it easier to succeed.

So at this moment, neither of them showed any politeness, whether in words or actions.

After shouting loudly, both of them exerted force, pushing Grace Bennett and Jessica Sullivan forward.

“You’re saying I’m a thief? What a joke! This is my own wallet!!”

Although the two officers, Li and Yang, had already made up their minds about the pair, Jessica Sullivan was completely enraged by their words. A faint trace of blood-red flashed across her delicate, flawless face.

In such a public place, being taken away as a thief was an unbearable humiliation.

As for Grace Bennett beside her, after his initial shock, he was stunned again upon hearing their words, then quickly realized—so, was this the guy he had tricked before coming back for revenge? But when he anxiously looked around, he was surprised to find that the person was nowhere to be seen.

“Your own wallet? Heh heh…”

The officer surnamed Yang, who was pushing them along, sneered after hearing Jessica Sullivan’s words. He then opened the wallet, and when he glanced at the ID card inside, as well as the business cards on top with the name Jessica Sullivan printed on them, he paused for a moment before laughing again. “You think that by throwing out the original owner’s ID and putting your own inside, you can confuse us? In my opinion, even this ID might be fake! Enough nonsense, come with me to the police station and we’ll talk there!”

Even the officer surnamed Li beside him laughed. Indeed, as police officers, they knew that some thieves, when transferring stolen goods, would put their own people’s IDs inside so that if they got caught, they could argue their way out. Not only did they know about this trick, they had even encountered it themselves before, so naturally they dismissed Jessica Sullivan’s words.

However, this time, Officer Yang’s words nearly made Jessica Sullivan faint from anger.

But at this point, she suddenly stopped talking, just lowered her head and walked forward. After all, this was a public place—if she kept arguing, it would only attract more attention, and then her reputation would truly be ruined.

Even so, Jessica Sullivan’s expression was frighteningly dark.

Chapter 007 Absurd! My daughter, Matthew Sullivan, could she be a thief?

Not only Jessica Sullivan, but Grace Bennett’s face also looked terrible at this moment.

Of course, he knew that with his identity, as soon as he got to the police station, he would quickly be released as innocent. After all, his father was the Party Secretary of Ning City—just a little investigation, and who would believe that the son of the Party Secretary would be stealing on the street?

But the problem was, after what he had just been through, he absolutely did not want this incident to reach that person’s ears.

Even though he hadn’t done anything.

But at this moment, he couldn’t say anything more. After all, his concerns were the same as Jessica Sullivan’s—this was a busy street, and if he started a scene with handcuffs and two police officers, things would only get worse.

Thinking of this, Grace Bennett’s mood couldn’t possibly improve.

And when, after their shout, the two pickpockets suddenly went limp, the two officers exchanged a smile—see, these two were just putting on an act.

After that, the group moved quickly.

In just a short while, they arrived at the Huai Shui District Police Substation in Ning City.

As they walked, facing the curious stares of passersby, Grace Bennett and Jessica Sullivan both kept their heads down, silent.

It wasn’t until they entered the police station that Jessica Sullivan, on one side, suddenly raised her head, glared fiercely at the officer surnamed Yang behind her, and said, “I want to make a phone call.”

“Xiao Liu, we caught two pickpockets—come here, this woman is yours now.” Ignoring Jessica Sullivan’s angry shout, the officer surnamed Yang just smiled and called out to a female officer on duty in the hall.

At the same time, the officer surnamed Li gave Grace Bennett a hard push and said, “Inside.”

After escorting Grace Bennett into the interrogation room and pressing him into the interrogation chair, Officer Li looked at Grace Bennett with a smile. “Speak up—how many times have you done this? How many people are in your gang?”

“I’m not a thief!” Facing the question, Grace Bennett glanced gloomily at Officer Li in front of him and answered decisively. If possible, he still hoped this matter wouldn’t reach that person’s ears.
