Chapter 1190: Chapter 1191: Surveillance in the Villa
Although the police officers usually do not pay attention to business tycoons, Caleb Mamet is a business emperor in Libanan. Naturally, everyone had heard of his reputation, and the woman who could marry Caleb Mamet was definitely not ordinary.
Originally, they thought it was just a simple theft case, but they didnât expect the amount involved to reach 1 million dollars, and it was related to Mr. Caleb Mamet and Mrs. Mamet. It had been a long time since their division had received such a big case.
The police officer nervously spoke, "Mr., Mr. Mamet, we would like to ask Mrs. Mamet about the situation. What do you think...?"
Caleb Mamet slightly turned his head, looking affectionately at the woman beside him, "Xaviera."
Xaviera Evans glanced at Nidya Hughes and reluctantly said, "It is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police investigation. Of course, I wonât refuse. However, itâs really surprising that Miss Hughes accused me of stealing. You had broken into private property and entered the Evans Villa. I havenât called the police to arrest you yet, but youâve reported that I stole a bracelet?"
The police officer was momentarily stunned. How did the case of breaking into private property come about?
Zora Hughes panicked and said, "Xaviera, Iâm sorry, I didnât want to report the crime either. Itâs just that Auntie was worried that you would go astray, so she wanted to teach you a lesson. Thereâs no other meaning to it. Donât blame Auntie! Letâs withdraw the case. Auntie, Xaviera wouldnât steal the bracelet!"
Seeing her so humbled, Nidya Hughes became even angrier. Zora was too naive to think that Xaviera would not steal. Xaviera might have married Caleb Mamet and is now wealthy, but she was once a village girl. The habit of stealing must have been formed then. She definitely wasnât stealing for money; it was just an unchangeable habit.
Why withdraw the case? Finally, they caught Xaviera making a mistake. She would not let go of Xaviera easily!
Nidya Hughes couldnât help her anger, "No withdrawal! She committed such a shameful act. Are we afraid of others talking about it? Mr. Mamet, I know you might be unhappy, but the bracelet was indeed stolen by Xaviera. How could you like such a wild girl? Our Zora is so much better than her, and she is more suitable..."
Caleb Mamet exuded a chilling aura. Beside him, Xaviera suddenly sobbed and threw herself into Calebâs arms, choking with emotion, "I will cooperate with the investigation! I never said I wouldnât cooperate. But even before the investigation is clear, Mrs. Hughes insists that I stole and calls me a wild girl, saying that I donât deserve Caleb. I feel so wronged!"
The soft sobbing sounded throughout the hall. Xaviera gently cried, like a pitiful little kitten, making the police officersâ hearts ache for her.
Mrs. Mamet was just too fragile. She looked like a pampered little princess who had never experienced such a grievance before. She must have been wrongly accused of theft for the first time in her life, and she couldnât help but cry.
What surprised everyone was how gentle Caleb Mamet was, holding Mrs. Mamet in his arms, comforting her in a tender voice for a long time without a hint of impatience.
Xaviera hugged Calebâs waist with both hands, her soft fingers pinching his waist. Looking up at him, she said in a delicate voice, "Caleb, Iâm so scared!"
Caleb Mamet lowered his gaze, looking at Xavieraâs reddened eyes, but her eyes were tearless. He softly stroked her head, leaning down and whispering in her ear, "Stop it."
As if she hadnât heard it, Xaviera weakly wiped the corner of her eye, her voice soft and slightly aggrieved, "Since Mrs. Hughes doesnât believe me, let the investigation proceed. In order to clear my name, I have people get the surveillance footage from the villa. There are cameras in every corner of the villa. It will be clear whether I took the bracelet or not."
"You can start the transcript." Xaviera took a deep breath, and then a female police officer led her into the interrogation room.
Everyone could not help but sigh. Real big shots were different. Mrs. Mamet was willing to cooperate with the police investigation, even if she felt wronged. Moreover, she was willing to present the surveillance as evidence, which showed that she probably didnât steal the bracelet.
And then there was Mrs. Hughes, who was making a big fuss from the moment she entered. She had no evidence but accused Miss Evans of stealing and ordered them to arrest her. How unreasonable!
At this moment, Zora Hughes broke out in cold sweat. Were there surveillance cameras in the villa?
She nervously bit her lip and quickly walked over to Nidya Hughes, lowering her voice, "Auntie, letâs forget it. Xaviera is willing to check the surveillance footage. It seems that she didnât steal the bracelet. We must have wronged her..."
