“Let me go… This is the necklace my brother bought for me… Give it back to me!” Zara Lucas struggled with all her might, but the police officer behind her pressed even harder.
“Stop lying; we caught you red-handed! There’s no way you can talk your way out of this!”
The police officer holding the necklace scolded Zara, scaring the surrounding socialites who retreated in fear.
They had seen the police before, but they had never seen such a domineering attitude.
Actually, if it were any other time, these officers might have been more cautious once they heard of the Lucas family.
But this operation was different from any other.
Since that day when Lily Gray returned to Austin Lucas’ house to retrieve her things, she had brought Mr. Fenton to the police station.
Seeing that she got a fake citrine necklace back from Austin Lucas, she always thought of ways to get the real one back.
She knew that Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas had taken many items from her and that their greed would make them show off her belongings.
Thus, Lily Gray had been prepared and went to the police station, letting Mr. Fenton take care of registering all her valuable property, including the citrine necklace.
Since the amount of valuable items involved in this case was huge and Mr. Fenton was involved, the police station took it very seriously.
They even considered forming a special investigation team for it.
Just now, Lily Gray spotted the emerald necklace on Zara Lucas’ neck from the crowd and identified it as her own.
Immediately, she reported the theft, waiting for Zara to embarrass herself in public.
“Zara Lucas, do you remember what I told you when you and your mother stole my handbag?” Lily Gray said calmly, looking at Zara.
“I warned you at that time that it didn’t matter if you stole my things, but if you did, you better hide them well and never let me see them again. Otherwise, if 1 catch you, 1 will make sure to send you to the police station with swollen faces!”
“Lily Gray… you shameless woman; don’t think that by hooking up with the police, you can frame me! You’re lying… you’re lying… this necklace is mine…”
“This necklace is made from 180 South African 40 diamonds and a single piece of glass-type emerald. Each of these 180 diamonds has GIA laser codes at their girdles. My mother bought these diamonds overseas, and there’s a record of them being brought into the country. The emerald stone was purchased by my mother at a jade auction three years ago, and then she asked Jade carving master Mr. Yan to carve it. Tell me, where did Austin Lucas buy it from?”
Lily Gray explained the origin of the diamond emerald necklace in detail without taking a breath.
Some people originally sympathized with the disadvantaged Zara Lucas.
They thought that the police called by Lily Gray were too brutal.
And Lily Gray was also too aggressive.
But now, seeing Lily Gray’s calm demeanor and Zara’s increasingly panicky face, they couldn’t help but change their opinion of Miss Gray.
“I… I don’t know where my brother bought it from. Anyway, this necklace was given to me by my brother!”
In response, Lily couldn’t help but laugh as Zara still refused to admit the truth.
Good, it seemed that there was a way to get the citrine necklace back this time.
“Officer, there’s one more distinctive feature on this necklace. My mother asked Master James to create this necklace as an engagement gift for me. So, on the back of the emerald stone, in the upper right corner, there are two small characters engraved.”
The police officer holding the necklace immediately turned it over upon hearing Lily’s words; feeling the two engraved characters with his hand, he confirmed their presence.
“The word ‘Together’ is engraved on the back of the necklace, symbolizing eternal unity and the ‘heart’ character from my name, Lily. You can take a look, officer, to see if these are the engraved characters..”
