Chapter 19: Miss Reed, Please Come with Us

Others were oblivious, but they were well aware that Miss Reed was the legitimate new owner of the property. Moreover, only someone extraordinary could purchase a house here for thrice the market value within a few hours. The property manager had explicitly instructed them to keep Miss Reed's ownership confidential. To the public, they were merely tenants.

The property manager had emphasized discretion to avoid trouble, so they kept their lips sealed tight.

Initially, they did not recognize Tina, but since she frequented the complex, the security guards came to know her. At present, Elena Heisler accused Tina of being a thief?

The security guard frowned, "You must be mistaken? Miss Reed is a tenant here." "What?" Elena's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the guard. "A tenant?" Amber, foreseeing the guard's response, simply curled her lip and remained silent. The guard nodded, "Yes."

"What kind of joke is this? Pinkwater Ally's properties are never rented out to outsiders; only people of status and stature live here. Renting a house to such a lowly person-who will be responsible if something happens?" Elena yelled, infuriated. The security guard's face soured. Working as guards here, they were often looked down upon and insulted by many residents. Only Tina's family always treated them with courtesy. Mrs. Reed had even brought them chilled mung bean soup during hot weather. Although it wasn't expensive, it was a comforting gesture.

Hearing Elena's accusation, the guard couldn't help but defend Tina, "Miss Reed's rental procedures are in order. If the owner has agreed to rent the house to them, it shows trust in their character. Miss Heisler, if there's nothing else, we have work to do."

"No way!" Elena roared, "She stole my mother's bracelet, call the police immediately!"

The guard was speechless. Would someone who could spend millions on a house stoop to stealing a bracelet?

"Do you have any evidence?" the guard asked, maintaining a professional demeanor.

"If I had evidence, would I need you?" Elena retorted angrily. "Everyone here has lived for a long time except for Tina, who just moved in. After she came, my mother's bracelet disappeared. I have every reason to suspect her."

The guard was at a loss for words. When an owner reported a missing item, indeed, they were supposed to help investigate. But Tina's status was special, and they were not permitted to disclose it, leaving them uncertain about how to proceed.
