Chapter 48 Ava, You’re Too Kind
Fairness existed in the world, and after the police officers conducted a thorough investigation, Chloe knew she would be released.
Jake felt disappointed that Chloe remained obstinate and uncooperative, so he swiftly departed with Ava.
In the end, it turned out that Chloe was too naive. After spending several hours at the “station, she was physically and mentally devastated, and her temper had been
completely worn down. She tried her best to explain herself to the police, but her explanations fell flat in the face of the “sufficient” evidence.
After Ava and Jake left, the latter could not stop complaining about Chloe.
“Why would she use such underhanded tactics to cheat me of my money? If she really needs it, she could’ve just asked me. Those bracelets are my family heirloom that has been passed down for generations. How could she sell it so brazenly? I was blind to fall for her in the first place!”
“Maybe Coco has been going through a tough time,” Ava said in a soothing voice, “But Jake, whatever the result may be, I hope you won’t bear any ill will toward her. Consider it as a favor to me. I’ll make sure that you get your bracelets back.”
Jake embraced her tightly and said, “Ava, you’re too kind. Chloe doesn’t deserve your kindness.”
“We’re family. She’s my sister, so it’s only natural that I treat her well.”
When Ava got home, the woman who gave her statement at the station was already waiting for her.
“I’ve done my part. Please give me the money quickly. My child is still in the hospital waiting for surgery…” the woman begged.
Her son’s condition worsened all of a sudden. She was already struggling to pay her rent, and now she had to give false testimony….
As for Chloe, the woman had no other choice but to do this and just feel sorry for her.
Ava looked at the woman and threw a card on the floor, saying, “It’s only 150,000

dollars. Did you think I was going to run away? Take the money and get out of here.”
At three in the afternoon, Ginny bounced out of her father’s office, clutching a cone of ice cream in her hand. Suddenly, something caught her eye and she came to an abrupt halt. She stared at Chloe in amazement and asked, “Aunt Coco, what are you doing in this room?”
Her father had told her that the person inside might be a bad person, but she knew Chloe could not be a bad person because bad people would not help her braid her hair.
Chloe was taken aback at first, but then her eyes lit up when she saw the little girl. ” Ginny, what are you doing here?”
“My daddy works here.”
“Your daddy is here? Who’s your dad?” Chloe was shocked.
“My daddy is a police officer here. He’s the best one,” Ginny said, her braids almost standing on end from the pride she exuded.
Chloe felt like she had caught a lifeline and said with great enthusiasm, “Ginny, I really need to see your daddy right now. Can you please call him over for me?”
Ginny was startled by Chloe’s words, but she nodded obediently and ran back to her father’s office.
Tyson Reyes was a detective and had just returned from his morning rounds.
When he learned that Joseph’s wife was being detained in the station, his hands trembled. He hastily set down his cup and immediately went to inquire about the situation. As he approached the interrogation room, he hesitated for a few seconds. Realizing that Joseph was likely unaware of the situation, he pulled out his phone to give him a call.
