Chapter 2016
After that, the police officer said again, "Madam, if your daughter-inw only stole two hundred
dors from you, we really cannot file a case on this matter. You can only me her for stealing too
little. If she secretly stole your television to sell it off, based on the price of the television at the time
the television was purchased, that would be sufficient for us to file a theft case against her.
However, she did not steal your television at all!" 1
The police officer was simply using a television as an analogy. However, at this time, Lady Wilson
suddenly thought of the television set in Donald’s vi that she had sold together with Harold and
Christopher. She was shocked, and she suddenly asked nervously, " Officer, if someone stole a
television that is worth one hundred thousand dors, what kind of sentence would that person
receive?" 2
The police officer replied seriously, "If the television was really worth one hundred thousand dors,
that would already be an extremely big amount. As long as the value of the theft reaches sixty
thousand dors, the basic penalty for the crime would be ten years. On this basis, for every
additional four thousand and two hundred dors, the sentence would be increased by one month.
If the television is worth one hundred thousand dors, that person would probably be sentenced to
eleven years in prison."
"What?!" Lady Wilson was shocked!
''I could have been sentenced to eleven years in prison just for stealing a television?! That is simply
too terrible, right?’
''Fortunately, Donald did not call the police at that time! Otherwise, since I am already so old, I would
probably have to die in prison, then...''
At this time, Christopher and Harold, who were lying i n bed, were also frightened when they heard
these words. 1
Harold was trembling in fright at this time. After that, Christopher immediately felt a damp heat
coming from the sheets, and he blurted out, "Harold... you... why did you wet the bed?!" 3
Harold had a bitter expression on his face as he replied in a low voice, "Dad, I am scared... We
could get sentenced to eleven years in prison just for stealing a television. That is simply too
frightening..."
Christopher felt particrly helpless at this time, and he sighed as he said, “Sigh! Even if it is
frightening, you don''t have to wet the bed! Look what you''ve done! My pants are all wet because of
you...."

Harold smacked his lips together before he choked and said, "Dad... I am sorry... I really could not
hold it i n anymore. I promise that I will not do it again..."
Christopher nodded bitterly before he said in a low voice, "Let’s listen to what the police officers
have to say first. Your grandma is also really asking for it. What is the point of making a police report
just because of two hundred dors? If she identally reveals the fact that we secretly sold
Donald''s television, all of us might be implicated because of this matter..."
At this time, Lady Wilson was also panicking a little, i
She never expected that she would not be able to lodge a case against Hannah even though the
latter had stolen two hundred dors from her.
However, the fact that her family had sold off Donald''s television would be sufficient for them to be
sentenced to more than ten years in prison. This genuinely scared Lady Wilson.
When the police officer saw the ugly expression on Lady Wilson''s face, he thought that she was
simply too angry. So, he said, "You should try to deal with this matter within the family. To be honest,
in the current society today, two hundred dors is really not a lot of money. It is not considered a
huge sum of money no matter where it was. Therefore, there is actually no need for you to hold on
to this grudge. Since you are a family, no matter what it is, there will still be feelings and affection
between both of you. So, you don''t need t o fall out with her just because of two hundred dors.
What do you think?"
Lady Wilson was very depressed, and she could only sigh as she said, "Alright, then. I will let it go
and let that b*stard off the hook, then!"
The police officer nodded before he said, "It is good that you can let it go and stop dwelling on these
unpleasant things. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
At this time, Wendy came over with the marriage certificate in her hand as she said, "Officer, here is
the marriage certificate."
Lady Wilson replied angrily, "Why are you still giving them the marriage certificate?! Hurry up and
send the police officers off quickly!"
