Chapter 269 The Orchid Worth $6 Million
In this way, Charlotte and the others sat in front of the screen and watched Patrick pour the kerosene and set the fire in a very
secret corner.
The orange–yellow flame ignited instantly, and it soon attracted the attention of the security guards in the dark night.
But no matter how fast the security guard moved, it was not as fast as the kerosene ignited.
Looking at the fire that spread immediately, Patrick smiled smugly. He quietly dealt with the things he brought and trotted. away from the scene.
What he didn’t see was that not long after he turned and left, the fire that was still burning before was extinguished in an instant, without even waiting for the security guards to make a move.
Charlotte glanced at Mr. River and saw him nodding before- dialing the police. “Hello, someone maliciously set fire to my
house.”
Patrick Pope didn’t run far before he was kicked to the ground. He turned around and saw that it was the assistant of Charlotte.
“Mr. Pope, are you ready to leave after sending us a big gift?
Isn’t it improper?” Mandy said politely, but she stepped on Patrick’s calf with her high heels.
Patrick groaned, but his heart was full of doubts. “How did you
know…”
He looked at Mandy sharply, “You guys already knew I was setting fire?”
う、
Mandy smiled and was kind enough not to tell Patrick that every move he made was under their eyes. Otherwise, she was afraid that he would die of anger on the spot.
However, Patrick also guessed a little. His face was gloomy and he reluctantly took out a stack of promissory notes from his arms. “I can give you money as long as you let me go, will a million be enough?”
Mandy’s eyes lit up immediately, and she took out her mobile phone, “I don’t accept checks, only transfers, and you must indicate that you gave it voluntarily, and you will never regret
it.”
Patrick was speechless.
Patrick had done everything she asked him to do. Mandy turned around and left very quickly as if she really planned to let him
1. go.
Patrick breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this woman was willing to accept bribes.
Patrick just got up from the ground and saw the policeman running over. His face froze. No wonder she walked so fast!
Patrick could not escape, so he could only be caught by the police.
To his relief, Charlotte’s house was not affected at all, only some flowers and plants in the garden were burned.
He smiled, “I just got confused in a moment, and nothing was burned! How much compensation do I have to pay, can I pay
it?”
He looked at Charlotte provocatively and said, “Miss Clinton, you’re not going to be so particular about this little matter, right?”
Unexpectedly, Charlotte, who was standing beside the policeman, was not angry but smiled instead.
“There are three pots of precious orchids in the place where the fire just started, and the total value should be about 6 million dollars. The malicious arson caused huge losses to others… This case should not be a simple criminal case, right?”
Hearing her talk about the loss of the three pots of orchids, the police officers who came to the scene suddenly became serious, “Are you sure the amount of loss is so large?”
Although he heard that orchids were very expensive, it would not be that far, right?
Charlotte directly took out her auction record at the auction not long ago and showed them the potted plants at the scene of the fire.
Not to mention Patrick, even the police were shocked.
Who would have thought that Patrick set fire and burned the most expensive orchids so accurately? With such a huge loss, he would have to be in prison for a few more years.
