Chapter 163 How Could You Have the Nerve to Cry
Eloise''s eyes lit up, and said, "That''s right! Didn''t Hazel say that she had never touched the
bracelet? Then, there would be no fingerprints of hers on the bracelet. If there are, it would only
mean that Maxwell did not steal the bracelet, but she stole it!"
Hazel''s expression changed instantly.
She had touched the bracelet, and her fingerprints were on it!
The policeman noticed something was wrong with her expression and then looked at the jade
bracelet that was sparkling and looked expensive. He immediately realized this woman had
probably done it, motivated by wealth. He said, "We must take Maxwell back to the police station
and discipline him. As his parent, you shoulde with us."
Hazel smiled and said, "There''s no need for that. It''s just a naughty boy making a mistake..."
The policeman smiled slightly, "If these fingerprints include yours, then it will be more than of a
naughty boy making a mistake."
The policeman decided to take Hazel back to the police station in advance because he was afraid
that she would run away. After all, the bracelet was costly. If the victim insisted, Hazel might be
imprisoned for ten years.
Beads of cold sweat fell from Hazel''s forehead. She knew that once she went to the police station,
she would not be able toe back. She decided and knelt in front of Charlotte, "Ms. Lopez, I''m
sorry... I''m sorry. I made a big stupid mistake..."
She tried to gain sympathy by telling about herck of money, but Eloise said directly, "What does
your losing money in gambling have to do with Char? The bracelet is so expensive. If you
seeded, how much loss would Char have to suffer? You should end up in jail!"
Hazel burst into tears and kept begging for mercy.
Hazel''s neighbors were all stunned.
Was it Hazel who had stolen the bracelet? She had refused to admit it at first, med it on her son,
and then even let her stepson take the me... She was so vicious!
The young man who had defended Charlotte just now said, "I knew it. These youngdies are not
liars. I have never liked Mrs. Cole. I have seen her beat Arthur many times." The young man was a
game anchor who had stayed home most of the time. He lived across the hall from Hazel''s house,
so he had caught Hazel beating Arthur up many times. He had tried to stop Hazel, but she had
never listened. Later, she just closed the door when she spanked the poor boy.
When he told his family about it, they had all said that Hazel must be teaching Arthur a lesson
because he was too naughty. After all, a gentle woman like Hazel would never do evil things.
"... She''s so hypocritical and wicked." Someone sighed.
The middle-aged woman who had been most protective of Hazel just now was so angry that she
pped Hazel in the face and shouted, "Well! You treat me like a fool, don''t you?! You stole the
bracelet but med it on someone else!"
This angry woman worked as a cleaner and had powerful hands. Hazel was pped so hard that
her mouth instantly bled, and she cried even more sadly.

The policeman quickly stopped the angry woman, "Don''t hit her. Ms., if you do it again, we will take
you to the police station!"
The woman yelled, "How could you have the nerve to cry? You shameless thing! You''re a big
disgrace to ourmunity!"
Charlotte looked at Hazel in a mess and said softly, "Mrs. Cole, if you hadn''t told your son to nder
Arthur in the end, I probably wouldn''t have wanted to send you to jail. But If I let you go now, Arthur
will suffer. So you''d better go to the police station."
Charlotte was soft-hearted, but sometimes, she knew she must make a choice. If she let Hazel go
quickly, Arthur''s life would be miserable.
Seeing that her pleas had no effect, Hazel gradually turned malicious and stared at Charlotte, "I
won''t let you go! When Ie out... I will not let you go!"
Cecilia smiled softly with undisguised malice in her cold eyes, "Well, are you sure you cane
out?"
Before Hazel could say anything else, two policemen had already taken her out.
The remaining policeman told Charlotte, "Miss, this bracelet is an exhibit. We need to take it back
for evidence collection and investigation. It will be returned to you in several days."
Charlotte nodded, "Okay."
The police took Hazel away. Her neighbors were slightly embarrassed when facing Charlotte and
others and left quickly.
Maxwell sat on the ground crying sadly, but Charlotte touched Arthur''s head, "Should I take you out
for some food?"
It was already past six o''clock.
Arthur shook his head and said, "Maxwell won''t be safe if he is alone at home, and I have to take
care of him. Miss, I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have told Hazel about you."
Charlotte shook her head and said, "It doesn''t matter. I don''t me you. You and Maxwell..." She
nced at Maxwell and sighed, "Let''s wait until your father returns. I think your father probably has
gotten off work."
Arthur''s father was an ordinary white-cor worker, working nine to five, and he should be back
soon.
Arthur nodded and said, "Miss, do you have anything to ask me about Maxwell?"
Charlotte whispered, "I think Maxwell is a little abnormal."
After crying for a while, Maxwell stood up, rummaging through the snacks that Charlotte and the
others had brought by the coffee table. He took out a bag of pastries and started eating as if he had
forgotten that his mother had been taken away.
Arthur said calmly, "Maxwell has a mental problem. That''s why Hazel resigned and stayed home to
take care of Maxwell. But she didn''t dare to take Maxwell to the doctor. She dared not tell my father
because she feared others would say she gave birth to a monster."
Although Charlotte studied medicine, she didn''t know much about psychology, so she didn''t ask
more questions.
Nics came back at half past six. When he saw the strangers at home, he was stunned. Eloise
exined it to him. Nics''s face was full of disbelief, "How is it possible?! Hazel would never do
such a thing!"
Eloise had disliked Hazel a lot, so she wasn''t lovely to Nics. She rolled her eyes and said, "She
has drained your bank ount. How much do you know about your wife? The police will call you
soon."
Nics still couldn''t believe his gentle and virtuous wife would do such a thing.
Charlotte had already changed her clothes. She stood up and said, "Mr. Cole, I hope you will pay
more attention to Arthur. He''s your child, after all."
Nics''s face turned red, "...Of course. He is my son, and I will certainly care about him."
Charlotte didn''t want to say anything more, so she picked up Magnolia, touched Arthur''s head, and
smiled, "Arthur, you need to eat well and grow up. I hope you will be taller than me in a year!"
Hearing it, Cecilia said coldly, "You little dwarf, do you think you have set a great goal for him?"
Charlotte was speechless. She was almost 5.2 feet tall! She wasn''t short at all!
