Chapter 132
Once everyone knew that Tina was adopted by the Lynd family and wasn’t treated as an equal there, they assumed Tina stole the ring from Pearl out of jealousy.
The Lynd family even hired a lawyer and a jewelry appraiser to make their story credible. After making sure the diamond cost millions, they were determined to make Tina pay for her crimes. They wanted Tina to rot in jail for ten years! “That’s not possible!” Tina retorted immediately. “That’s a fake diamond ring! The appraiser is lying!”
Samuel did tell her that the ring was a fake!
The jewelry appraiser was indignant. He snapped, “Miss Lynd, my family has been working in this line for generations. You shouldn’t doubt my skills. Just admit it! You stole the ring, didn’t you?”
“Besides, I saw an auction on TV just a few days ago. It was an auction only the richest people in Freesia could attend. Given the short time frame, there’s not enough time for fakes to enter the market yet.” .
Pearl was elated. She wasted no time to sneer contemptuously, “Tina, you’re done for! Let’s see if men still want you after you serve jail time!”
Facing all the false accusations, Tina clenched her fists and said slowly, “You made up these stories without evidence. Just wait, I have someone to prove my innocence.”
Even though Tina didn’t want to bother Samuel with this, she was left with no choice. Otherwise, she would really be sent to jail.
Pearl was confused when she saw Tina taking out her phone. She wasn’t actually contacting John Carter, was she?
But the moment Tina called the number, a robotic sound echoed from the receiver,
“The person you dial is currently unavailable. Please call again later.” novelbin
It was obvious Samuel had denied her call.
At first, Pearl was worried. Now, she felt instant relief and began ridiculing Tina, “He didn’t even pick up the phone! Stop lying to everyone, Tina! Admit your crime and go to jail!” Tina wasn’t surprised Samuel didn’t pick up the call. She swallowed down her pride and said, “Samuel Langford was the one who gave this diamond ring to me. You can ask him for verification.” Pearl, along with the onlookers, shot her sarcastic looks that showed their obvious disbelief. How dare she mention Samuel Langford’s name just to get out of the situation? What a joke!
Tina continued , “If you don’t believe me, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check my current relationship status with Mr. Langford. We are currently registered as husband and
wife.”
Pearl interjected, “Officer! We should stop listening to her inane blabberings. She must be suffering from some mental illnesses that we don’t know about. Let’s lock her up!”
The lawyer also took the advantage to fan the flames.
“Officer, the evidence has been laid out for you very clearly. There’s no question she should be detained. Her mental state is quite questionable, though. Should we invite a psychologist to do an evaluation on her?”
When Pearl heard that, she added enthusiastically, “We should lock her up in an asylum!” At this point, they had completely disregarded Tina’s plea. Unable to do anything, she delved into hopelessness.
Right at this moment, a familiar voice sounded from afar. “Who do you plan on sending to the mental asylum?”
“Of course it’s Tina Lynd, that scoundrel…” Pearl replied proudly, before looking over her back.
When she saw the owner of the voice, her eyes widened in disbelief.
