Chapter 2740 How Long Would Someone Be Detained For Theft?

Mrs. Jackman looked at Luca coldly, noticing how calm she was. After all, it was just an excuse to make things difficult for Luca. Mrs. Jackman could understand why Luca was so composed while facing such a situation.

"Hand it over now if you're the one who took it," urged Mrs. Malcolm. She was not particularly interested in framing someone. Still, she wanted to watch the drama unfold.

"Madam Crawford suspects that I took it just because I went into the house with the child to use the bathroom?" asked Luca.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Susan interjected.

"There are so many people here. Many of them would have gone into the house to use the bathroom. Madam Crawford, are you planning to interrogate them all? If so, I can help you pull up the surveillance footage at the garden and check who went into the house. Then, we can have them answer questions individually and figure out who took your necklace," Luca calmly suggested. If she knew that Susan was waiting for her in the backyard earlier, she would not have come.

Susan was really difficult to deal with...

"Do you have any idea who they are and who you are? Who are you to suspect the others? You'd better know your position!" Mrs. Jackman lifted a cup of tea and took a sip. Her gaze was sharp and cold.

She hated all the mistresses! That was why she had no intention of letting Luca off the hook.

"Madam, I only went to the first floor when I was in the house. Do you really think Madam Crawford would be that silly to leave her necklace in the living room and let the others take it? Even though my net worth may not be as high as yours, accusations require evidence. I was on the first floor the entire time. I didn't even head to the second floor. How could you accuse me of stealing the necklace? Let's call the police since everyone is still here. It'll be better for the police officers to investigate everyone here," replied Luca as she took her phone out from her pocket.

"You're still denying it, and now you're trying to get the police involved, huh?!" Mrs. Jackman came up with a plan. She lifted the teapot filled with the scalding tea and threw it at Luca.

Luca did not manage to dodge the teapot that was coming at her as she was looking at her phone. She had no choice but to move to the side.

The teapot shattered, and the boiling hot tea splashed on her bare ankle as well as all over the floor.

Her snow-white skin instantly turned red.
