Chapter 35 Rejoyla's Counterattack
Rejoyla looked around and ran out.
"Hey, Joy!" Jacquelyn glanced at Burton, stamped her foot, and then chased after her.
"Joy, wait for me! Wait for your mother!"
"You're not my mother! Since you are my mom, why didn't you speak up for me but to watch me being wronged? Since you are my mom, why did you stay silent when I was being treated unfairly and was so afraid of offending the Sterlings?"
Jacquelyn knew she was not having a justified reason. She went forward to pull Rejoyla's arm but was pushed away by Rejoyla.
"Joy, listen to me. I'm sorry. But please consider my situation. I just married Burton. If I offend the family of his third son now, how can I stay in the Sterling family in the future? This time, let's endure it. After I have a position in the Sterling family, I will definitely help you get revenge. Joy, listen to me..."
"Shut up. You will help me get revenge? By the time you help me get revenge, everyone will have already thought of me as a thief. I am a nobody, and I do not have the Sterling family's prestigious reputation and wealth. But they cannot just bully others because of their power and wealth. It's best not to delay revenge. Mrs. Sterling, you should go back now. Don't stay with me, a thief they identified, so as not to damage your reputation. If you can't have a place in the Sterling family because of me, then it will be my fault again!" Rejoyla rubbed her sore eyes and did not look at Jacquelyn's embarrassed face.
Rejoyla thought that Jacquelyn was asking for embarrassment, and she didn't need to endure the unfair treatment because of Jacquelyn's thoughts. She took out her phone and called the police, "Hello, 911? I want to report a crime..."
At this time, Jacquelyn stared at Rejoyla with widened eyes, unbelievably asking, "What are you doing?"
Afraid that Jacquelyn would take her phone, Rejoyla looked at her guardedly and quickly reported the address of Sterling Manor to the police before hanging up the phone.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Of course, I'm going to take revenge for myself. Since my mother won't help me, I can only take revenge MYSELF!"
"You! You..." Jacquelyn didn't expect Rejoyla to come up with such a plan. After a while, she finally blurted out, "Nonsense!"
"Ha!" Rejoyla didn't even want to talk to Jacquelyn.
Jacquelyn took a deep breath and frowned, persuading, "Call the police to cancel the report. Just tell them that you made a mistake!"
"Why should I? You won't help me, and you want to stop me from helping myself!"
"You don't know anything! The Sterling family is a wealthy and prestigious clan. Even if you report the Sterlings to the police, they will definitely inform the Sterlings before coming here. By then, all members of the Sterling family will know what you have done. The police won't even come. You will only offend the Sterlings and not get your justice. Since you have to be the scapegoat, you might as well make Burton feel guilty. Then he will think of you when he has some benefits to give to his children. What you're doing now will not only confirm your guilt, but also get you no good. Isn't this a waste of effort? How can I have such a stupid daughter?"
Rejoyla gently bit her lip. Indeed, she forgot about the background of the Sterling family. What could she do if reporting to the police wouldn't even work?
Should she just listen to Jacquelyn and endure this accusation, and then be kicked out of this place?
No, she wouldn't take this!
Burton was such a bully! Did he really think he could make her take the blame for the thief by giving her money? She would never accept such a deal! Otherwise, she would become like Jacquelyn! Rejoyla bit her lip and tightly held her phone. Her eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly.
If there was no other way, she decided to take the risk with the Sterling family. But if she did, wouldn't it be very difficult for Jacquelyn later? Until the very end, Rejoyla did not want to completely offend Burton and all his family. Hopefully, the consequences of her actions would not be as bad as Jacquelyn imagined.
At the moment, the Sterlings did not think that Rejoyla would actually dare to call the police. They thought she had just run away. Ingrid pouted and complained, "We just criticized her a little bit. Since she dared to steal, why can't we express our opinions about it? Why is she getting angry? She is indeed a low life without a tiny bit of courtesy!"
"Ingrid, don't be angry. I guess Rejoyla left because her true colors were exposed and she didn't want to stay here anymore. It's good. We recognized her true nature early on, so we won't be fooled by her in the future. We just don't know what kind of person her mother is. Oh well, let's remember to lock the door from now on!"
After successfully driving away Rejoyla, Hillary breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Heidi would surely approve of her decision when she revealed a part of the truth to Heidi after flattering and pleasing her. Thinking of that man, Hillary felt her heart was pounding wildly.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had met many outstanding men. Not to mention other men, both Jason and Brady Nelson were already the most eligible and handsome bachelors in the city. Jason was aloof and domineering, in an attractive way, while Brady was so warm and nice. But when Hillary saw Elvis LimBurton, she always lost all her mind and was completely attracted to him.
But how could Rejoyla Lynn have the right to date Elvis? Who did she think she was?!
"But I haven't found my contraceptive pill yet!" Ingrid was a bit annoyed. Her intention was not to drive Rejoyla away. She just wanted to see if Rejoyla had taken her birth control pills. She never expected that she wouldn't even have a chance to enter Rejoyla's room.
"It's not a big deal," Hillary casually flipped her hair. "There's no one here now. You can go to her room and look for them!"
Hillary had someone put a few bottles of contraceptive pills in Rejoyla's room. She could use Ingrid, who was a fool, to find those birth control pills in Rejoyla's room. This way, she could completely cut off Rejoyla's hope of returning to the Sterling family. Even if Jacquelyn established a stable position in the Sterling family in the future, she would be too embarrassed to let Rejoyla come back.
"Yes, Hillary, you are so smart. Let's go together!" Ingrid took Hillary's arm and headed towards Rejoyla's room. Hillary frowned, she didn't want to be directly involved in this plan. "You should go by yourself. I feel a little dizzy. I'm sure I have low blood sugar again!"
"Oh, then I'll go by myself!"
Ingrid knew that Hillary had low blood sugar, so she didn't suspect anything. She went to Rejoyla's room with great enthusiasm. Hillary watched Ingrid's back with a faint smile on her face. Next, she waited for the shocking revelations that Ingrid would bring after searching Rejoyla's room.
However, unexpectedly, Hillary was greeted by an unexpected guest before Ingrid's big reveal. Looking at the maid in front of her, Hillary asked incredulously, "What did you say? Who came?"
The maid glanced at Hillary and nervously replied, "The police. They said someone reported a crime and they came to investigate and collect evidence!"
"Nonsense. Who would dare to come here and cause trouble? A crime? What crime?"
Hillary didn't even think of Rejoyla because she didn't think Rejoyla would dare to call the cops.
The maid swallowed and replied, "Miss Hillary, it was Rejoyla. She brought the police here. Will the police know what we did?"
She had put the birth control pills in Rejoyla's room as requested by Miss Hillary. Although Madam Heidi didn't find the birth control pills when searching Rejoyla's room earlier, she and Madam Jacquelyn found Miss Ingrid's necklace, which proved that Rejoyla had stolen it.
However, the maid was still afraid. After all, she did something wrong.
With a gloomy expression, Hillary twisted the corner of her mouth, "What did we do? We didn't do anything. Rejoyla got caught stealing Ingrid's necklace. She got angry and called the police, and then the police will find a lot of contraceptives in her room. This will show that she is a girl with a slutty life. What does this have to do with us? Shut up. If you dare to betray me, I will never let you go!"
Scared by Hillary's fierce gaze, the maid quickly expressed her loyalty, "Miss Hillary, you're right. We didn't do anything. This has nothing to do with us!"
"Let's go. Let's go downstairs and see what's going on. Can you believe someone is investigating Sterling Manor?"
"Hillary went downstairs and saw Rejoyla standing in the hall with Jacquelyn, who had a sullen expression. Burton did not show up. Now, Heidi was negotiating with the police. Ingrid lowered her head on the side and occasionally glanced at Rejoyla with a gloomy look.
Rejoyla stared back at Ingrid without hesitation. Anyway, things were already here. Even if she decided to take this dumb loss now, she had already offended all the Sterlings. Since her decision to become a scapegoat wouldn't change anything now, why should she be aggrieved and humble herself to accommodate these people who would never think highly of her!"
However, Rejoyla did not expect the police to come so quickly. 'Well, they are good civil servants.' She secretly admired the police in her heart!
"Excuse me, Sir, is there any misunderstanding? We didn't report any cases!" Heidi said with a polite and elegant smile. Her manners were very thoughtful, neither making others feel that she was superior, nor letting them disregard her identity and status.
The leading police officer was a man in his thirties, of average build and appeared to be very righteous. Facing Heidi, he did not change his expression and nodded slightly in response, "Hello, my name is Sergio Jackson. I am a police officer. We received a call from this young lady, saying that the Sterling family had lost something..."
"There is no such thing. Nothing has been lost in our house. Joy," Heidi interrupted Officer Jackson's words, looking at Rejoyla with a helpless expression, as if she was looking at a youngster who did not obey her discipline, "Joy, you naughty kid. It's okay to joke with us normally, but how can you joke with the police? Do you know that making a false report is illegal? Officer Jackson, she is still a child. She is a bit mischievous and was just fooling around. Sorry for wasting your time. I will definitely apologize to Chief Rechardson for making so much trouble for you another day. I'm really sorry!"
Jackson frowned. He was not a newcomer without social experience. He certainly understood Heidi's implication, which was pressuring him with Chief Rechardson!
Rejoyla sneered. Heidi put all the blame on her, accusing her of making a false report to the police. She was the one to be blamed for all the trouble, while the Sterling family was so noble and innocent!
She was a little uneasy about making a big deal out of it. But now, Rejoyla had no regrets. According to the Sterlings' usual style, if they were not aware of the severity, they really thought they were the center of the universe, even if the sun had to revolve around them. Does she deserve to be their scapegoat?!
"Madam Heidi, don't worry. Officer Jackson hasn't finished yet. Let me complete what he has to say. I made the call. Because I was framed. I hope the police can help me clear my name, find the real thief, and prevent such theft incidents from happening at Sterling Manor in the future!"
Heidi took a deep breath and looked at Rejoyla with a fake smile, "Joy, are you mistaken? This estate belongs to the Sterling family, not the Lynn family!"
'How annoying!' Heidi thought to herself.
She looked at Jackson and continued, "Moreover, my daughter's necklace was stolen. My daughter doesn't want to pursue this matter anymore. Even if we have to call the police, shouldn't the owner, my daughter, call the police?"
At this point, Jackson looked apologetically at Rejoyla. Heidi made a valid point. If they were to call the police, it should be the owner who makes the call, not Rejoyla, the "thief". If Rejoyla felt that she was being framed, as the police, they could help investigate. However, Heidi mentioned Chief Rechardson earlier, which made the situation more complicated.
