Chapter 782 Police! Open The Door!
A whileter, the person on the other end of the line replied, “Sorry, Mr. Marsh. The earrings and
ne are also fake.” His voice trembled.
“It’s not your fault,” Ivan consoled him. “Keep it secret. OK?”
“Got it, Mr. Marsh.”
Ivan ended the call and said calmly, “Let’s keep this matter secret and wait till the release conference.
We’ve been gathering Leslie Eastwood’s criminal evidence in recent few days.”
Aston nodded at him and asked, “Do you need any help?”
Ivan stared at the ring and bracelet. “How much did you spend on them?”
“Not a penny,” Aston answered. “I wrote a one-million-dor check, but she cannot cash it out. My man
is watching her. What do you n to do?”
“Call the police,” answered Ivan. “If she’s not pushed this time, the rest of her life will definitely be
ruined. Catherine Collins should be the maniptor. She should have the ne and the earrings.”
Aston was confused. “That girl has reced four pieces but only gave Catherine Collins a half. How
could she agree?”
They were all puzzled about it but had several guesses.
Ivan and Jennifer didn’t stay long in Aston’s ce. After all, they needed to deal with Linda’s matter, so
they left shortly after with the ring and bracelet.
Upon their rtionship with Aston, they didn’t mention thanking him financially. Even if they suggested
it, Aston wouldn’t ept it. Instead, he would feel offended.
In the Lamborghini heading home, Ivan dialed a personal number of a policeman he knew and told him
Linda’s address after briefing him on what Linda had done.
“I see. Mr. Marsh, we’ll arrest her immediately.”
After hanging up the phone, Ivan ordered his driver, “Hank, to Olson Community, please.”
“Yes, Mr. Marsh.”
The night was out.
Linda was busy packing her suitcases in the high-end apartment. She had called a taxi driver to send
her out of town the following morning.
Then she would hail another taxi afterward. She wouldn’t go to any bus or railway stations or leave any
trace of buying tickets.
Shortly after, she heart curt knocks on the door.
Feeling guilty, Linda became tense and darted at the door gingerly. No one knew she had moved in
there.
She wondered if it was Catherine at the door.
Somehow, Linda panicked, wondering if Catherine had known she had kept the ring and bracelet
secretly.

She dared not to open the door, but the knocks continued.
“Open the door! We’re the police!” the policeman yelled, “Linda Chambers, we know you are inside. If
you refuse toe out, we’ll break in.”
‘The police?’
Linda’s heart performed a somersault. Fear filled her eyes.
“I’m counting down to three. This is yourst chance.”
“One. Two.”
Linda opened the door. Two policemen grabbed her hands. The other handcuffed her.
“Youmittedrceny with a huge amount of money involved. Admit it or not?” one policeman asked.
The other two entered her apartment and saw her packed suitcases, which were unzipped. Evidently,
she nned to run away.
Linda couldn’t deny it. Since the policemen had found her address, they should have had solid
evidence. It was toote for her to escape, and she had to admit it.
“Sir, how many years I’ll stay in jail?” she asked, which was the only thing she was concerned about.
“More than three years and less than ten years,” a policeman answered. “However, you might be
sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment. After all, the jewelry costs 12 million dors. That’s arge
amount.”
“12 million dors?” Linda was freaked out. She initially asked for 1.2 million dors and lowered it to
one millionter. Thinking about the check, she med herself for being stupid.
Mr. Jones must have guessed she had stolen the jewelry and wanted to exchange them for money with
a single nce.
‘Did Mr. Jones call the police?’ she wondered.
