Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 612 Kenneth Bailey Made Me Do It

Elise tossed the woman’s red jade necklace onto the glass display counter with a clank. She questioned with a frosty expression, “Who sent you here?!”

“Who sent me here? What do you mean by that? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” The woman lowered her head guiltily. She muttered to herself, “I bought the necklace here. How would I know that it didn’t have any UV anti-counterfeit—”

“Is that so? This jade necklace of yours can’t be equated with our store’s red jade necklace, but it’s good stuff, and it’s made to look indistinguishable from Alexis’ ones inside out. You say you know nothing and that it’s just a coincidence, but how’s that possible?” Elise began to guide the crowd in a tone similar to the woman’s tone of voice just now. “If you insist that this necklace is yours, well, it’s fine. By extorting such a huge amount of money, you’ve at least guaranteed yourself a jail sentence of eight to ten years. Uncle, this woman here wants to go to jail, so why not do her the favor?”

“Huh? Oh, right! I just had dinner with the chief of detectives yesterday! I’ll call him over now!” Tom took out his phone and pretended to call Jackson, though he was actually calling his aged mother. She was hard of hearing, so she could hardly hear her phone ring nine times out of ten. Even if she did hear her phone ring and answer it, she would only keep repeating, “Huh? What’d you say?” so he wasn’t worried about causing any misunderstanding at all. He pretended to say, “Hello, is Captain Gleeman speaking? It’s me, Tom. I have a—”

“Wait a minute!” Frightened at last, the woman lunged at Tom in an attempt to snatch his phone.

However, Tom stepped back and dodged her.

“Fessing up at last, huh?” Elise taunted.

The woman fidgeted with her fingers, looking as though she was caught on the horns of a dilemma. After turning to look at the reporters and the video cameras at the entrance, she tried to negotiate with Elise, saying ingratiatingly, “This isn’t a good place to talk. Can we talk it over in the break room?”

“Huh? But I remember that you just turned down our staff’s invitation, and now… Your behavior keeps changing from one moment to the next. Don’t tell me you’re trying to stall for time.” Elise purposely wore an innocent look on her face. “I think we’d better call the police.”
