Chapter 142 What Exactly Is Milly’s Status?

“Heh, does she think this place is a palace? Even the police need to show a search warrant.”

“Yeah, like there’s anything valuable in there.”

“She kept blocking us from going in. First, she insists on calling the police, and now that they’re here, she’s making things difficult. I bet there’s something shady going on.”

“Shh… keep it down. She might hear you.

“So what if she does? If she did something, she should own up to it. Stephanie is the Burnetts‘ daughter. She’s seen plenty of valuable things and never made such a fuss.”

Milly rolled her eyes and coldly interrupted their whispering, “The law requires a search warrant to be shown before conducting a search.

“Right, Officer?”

The two young officers, who were fairly new to the job, found themselves stunned by her beauty, their faces turning bright red.

“Yes, you’re absolutely right. Police need a search warrant, which must be issued by an official from the county–level public security bureau or higher.”
