Chapter 70
"Which one of you is Emma Kain? We need you toe with us for an investigation."
Philip and Sasha were stunned to see the officersing in, and when they announced Emma''s name,
Philip flew into a rage. "What is going on? What did that girl do this time?"
Sasha was scared, of course, and she quickly said, "This must be a misunderstanding, officer. Emma is
aw-abiding citizen. She would never break thew."
"That is not up to you. Either you get her here right now, or we''ll go in and arrest her ourselves." The
one in the lead was infamous for his stubborn behavior, and he would never bow down to anyone.
"Get that girl down! For the record, I me you." Philip was enraged. He thought of himself as a
famous aristocrat in Harrion, and the look of police cars in his yard would impact his reputation.
Sasha didn''t argue, of course, and she quickly went to Emma''s room.
Emma was still shopping online happily. When her mother came in, she quickly said, "Mom, look! I just
got a limited edition handbag. Nice, huh? I''ve been eyeing this lipstick for a while now, but it was just
too expensive. Now I can finally buy it."
When Sasha noticed the amount of the transaction, her heart started to race. "Where did you get this
kind of money?"
"I made it myself, of course." She lied as naturally as she breathed.
"Tell me the truth!" Sasha pped her.
Emma shot up from her seat. "What are you doing, Mom? That hurt!"
"Where did you get this kind of money?"
As Sasha was looking angry, Emma finally said, "It''s Abigail''s money. I logged into her personal
website and epted a surgery request. That guy is super generous, Mom. He paid five million in
deposit. Five million! So I changed the bank ount to mine. I did this kind of stuff before. Her stuff is
mine, right? No big deal." Emma shrugged it off.
Sasha was dumbfounded. "Are you stupid, child? That''s when you were kids! She''s not the same
person now! Did you forget how she sent you to the police station previously?"
Compared to the frustrated Sasha, Emma looked calm. "You''re too cautious, Mom. She''s rich, and
she''s my sister. It''s not like she can sue me. Besides, she doesn''t know that I have the money. By the
time she does, I would have already spent it all. What can she do then?"
Yep, this is all my fault. I''ve taught her a lot about mannerisms over the years, and yet she still grew up
to be a simpleton. "Sue you? She already called the police, and they''re downstairs now, waiting for you.
Just clear your cart and give her the money back. We can deal with this if you don''t have the money in
your ount. Don''t you see? Abigail doesn''t care about us. She doesn''t even do anything your father
says, let alone us." Sasha could feel her head exploding.
Emma couldn''t believe it. "Impossible. On what grounds did she call the cops on me?"
"Because you put your ount number on her website."
"I did it? Who saw that? She''s the one who did it, alright?"
Sasha could not believe what she was hearing. "What did you say?"
"You''re too nervous, Mom. Nobody can prove that I put my ount number on her website. We can
just say that she did it. She borrowed my card, so of course the money goes into my ount."
Sasha froze up for a moment. "Alright! That''s what we''ll say. But take those stuff out of your cart and
give her the money back. You''ll be fine if the money is still in her ount."
Emma was reluctant, but since the police were here, she took all the items out of her cart. "My bag…
My lipstick…"
"You can buy those things in the future. Handle this matter first. I''ll go ahead. Your father is angry, so
don''t cause anymore trouble, alright?" Sasha tugged on Emma and went downstairs quickly.
Emma was heartbroken. I made the money myself. Do I have to give them all back? Damn you,
Abigail. You called the cops on me? She was frustrated that she couldn''t spend the money in her
ount, but she knew what was more important. Emma was a smart woman. If she was convicted of
theft, she would be done for. Herst experience in the police station still gave her nightmares. Hence,
even though she was reluctant, she turned her PC off and went downstairs.
The officers wanted to take her away, so she started defending herself. She told them the same thing
she told her mother, and she used Abigail of nder, but the officers didn''t buy it. They told her she
could defend herself all she wanted once she was taken back to the police station, and in the end, she
was taken away.
Philip had a dark look on his face, and Sasha didn''t dare ask him for help.
"Philip, she''s your daughter, so…"
"You can help her if you want, but I won''t! This is theft! She''s an embarrassing case!" Philip was so
angry, he smashed a set of tea essories.
Sasha trembled in fear, but she kept defending her daughter. "This is not theft. Abigail''s your daughter
too. This is just a fund transfer between sisters. Besides, Abigail''s not married yet, so she should give
all the money she makes to us. Emma was just helping you. She only did this because thepany''s
cash flow is in trouble. You wanted Abigail to give you eight million, and you had to give her the ruby
ne in exchange. She still hasn''t cut ties with us, and now that thepany is in trouble, she
doesn''t want to help you. Worse, she called the cops on Emma, who only wanted to help. She''s not
married to Jonathan yet, so she can''t ask the Frasers to help." Sasha could always bullsh*t her way
through everything, and she managed to change Emma''s felony into something more benevolent. Well,
unless thew had something to say about that. Sasha thought it would soothe Philip though.
And yes, it did work, for Philip was a fool. "You''re right. Thepany is in trouble. She''s my daughter,
and I''ve raised her for many years. She should help me out."
"That''s right. I mean, she charges at least millions for every surgery, and we aren''t asking for much. All
she has to do is give us two or three surgeries'' worth of money every month, and it''ll help us out a lot.
Besides, when she gets married, we''ll be giving her all that money as her dowry. That''s what all
families from the upper society do, so why not her?" Sasha continued, trying to convince Philip.

Philip squinted, and he thought as fast as his foolish brain allowed him to. Abigail did give him eight
million, but he wouldn''tin if he had more. If she could give him ten million every month, he could
strengthen his family in no time. Philip smiled smugly. "See Abigail and talk to her about this. We''re a
family. She shouldn''t call the cops on us."
Sasha looked horrified. See Abigail? No! She''s a decent fighter. She might break my bones, and I don''t
want that. She quickly said, "I''m not suited for this, Philip."
"So, you want me to go instead?" Philip red at her majestically.
Sasha quickly answered, "That''s not what I meant. You''re her father, so it''s even more awkward if you
go."
"If neither you nor I are suited for this, who is?"
"Jonathan, of course," Sasha said. "He''s Emma''s boyfriend, so handling some problems for us is
expected, right? Besides, he used to date Abigail. She''s still single until now, so she probably still likes
him. If he talks to her, she might agree."
Philip frowned, but he nodded. "FIne. We''ll go with your n."
Sasha heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly called Jonathan and asked him out for an appointment.
Jonathan didn''t know why Sasaha wanted to see him. He didn''t want to go, but he was still Emma''s
boyfriend, so he came to the café reluctantly. "Why did you want to see me, Mrs. Kain? I have a
meeting to attendter."
"You have to save Emma, Jonathan. She''s arrested!" Sasha cried. Thest time she was taken,
Jonathan was on a trip, but this time, she would not allow her girl to suffer.
Jonathan frowned. "Arrested? Why?" He was starting to dislike Emma more and more. Before this, he
thought she was a bit daft, but he didn''t mind. After all, he didn''t need a wife who was too smart.
However, after seeing Abigail again, Emma had be an eyesore. She got arrested? For what?
Jonathan''s face fell.
Sasha could see that he was upset, so she said, "Because of Abbie. You know that she still hates
Emma because she thinks Emma took you away and caused you two to break up five years ago."
"And she''d be right. After I came back from overseas that day, I got drunk. If it weren''t for her being so
easy, I wouldn''t have slept with her, nor would I have betrayed Abbie."
Sasha never expected him to defend Abigail, and she was stunned. "That''s unfair, Jonathan. Abigail
went to sleep around for a whole night that night too, didn''t she?"
That answer pierced Jonathan where it hurt the most. He was still annoyed by that even after five
years. No man liked it if their woman cheated on them. Even though he had cheated on Abigail, he
would never allow her to do the same to him. That was his hypocrisy.
