The security guard's demeanor was somewhat reasonable, yet his piercing gaze made Rowan uneasy. He addressed her with a stern tone, saying, "Miss, please cooperate." Rowan was taken aback, her thoughts racing back to the young man who had bumped into her earlier without apparent cause. She couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection. She quickly dismissed the idea. Such improbable events hardly ever occur to ordinary people, let alone happening to her out of the blue. Confusion gripped her, and she felt the urge to inspect the bags she held, hoping to uncover any suspicious items. However, the security guard remained at her side, his eyes unwavering and intense. If she were to start rummaging through her bags now, she knew she'd be instantly labeled a thief rather than a mere suspect. Rowan kept silent, and the security guard's patience wore thin. "Miss, all we need is for you to open your bag and allow us to take a look. We won't resort to violence. Please cooperate." The
Rowan couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen that necklace?"The man's smile remained, but there was a hint of bitterness tugging at the corners of his mouth.Without attempting to offer an explanation, he reassured Rowan, "I'll clarify things with them later and request that they release you first. I truly apologize for getting you involved in this today."His sincerity in those words stood in stark contrast to the cynicism he had displayed earlier when the man in the suit was present.Rowan found herself puzzled, unsure which version of the man was the real one."You..." Originally, Rowan had intended to question him about why he had attempted to steal the necklace. However, she changed her inquiry on the spot, saying, "How did you manage to take it? Such a valuable item wouldn't be left casually out in the open for anyone to touch."The young man lowered his gaze, and his tone grew more solemn. "It's nothing extraordinary. I didn't even succeed in getting away with it, so it can't b
Miss Kate, who appeared to be around thirty years old, was impeccably dressed in a well-tailored light blue suit. Her delicate light makeup accentuated her features, and her long black hair cascaded casually over her shoulders. She exuded an air of intellectual beauty that was hard to ignore.However, despite her outward appearance, the conversation she was currently engaged in with the young man lacked any trace of intelligence. Instead, it was rife with ridicule and eccentricity, casting a peculiar light on her character.The sarcastic remarks made by the young man had seemingly struck a nerve with Miss Kate. Her smile waned slightly, and her eyes betrayed a hint of displeasure."Victor, don't push it too far! If you continue to disrespect me in this manner, I won't hesitate to report your words to your father. Let's see if he scolds you again," she warned sternly.The young man, now identified as Victor, appeared entirely unconcerned by her threat. He let out two insincere laughs t
Rowan had never been to a police station in her life. Unexpectedly, today because of an unintentional act of a 17-year-old boy, he was forced to follow him to the police station for tea.Although facing the two suspects, the policemen in blue uniforms actually had a good attitude and were not as arrogant as often reported in the news on the Internet.After arranging for Rowan and Kate to record confessions respectively, he took them to the police office and talked to them about the current situation."The witnesses and physical evidence are relatively complete, and you have admitted the theft. The owner now wants to deal with it strictly. If this is the case, we can only detain you first. Later, we will arrange for an appraisal center to conduct a price appraisal on the necklace. If the amount is huge, you may also be sued.”The policeman explained in a business-like tone. Hearing this, Kate was not surprised.Pointing at Rowan, Victor asked, "What about her? Can you let her go firs
David stood at the office door, his usual black suit enhancing his broad shoulders and elongating his legs. His impeccable attire made him stand out like a dazzling star amidst the police station's simple decor. His deep, penetrating gaze scanned the room until it landed on Rowan's face.In a composed tone, he inquired, "What are you waiting for? Why haven't you left yet?"Rowan hesitated for a moment, biting her lip and remaining silent.A faint frown crossed David's face, and an unsettling silence filled the room, both inside and out.Victor nudged Rowan from behind, leaning down to whisper in her ear, "Sister, please leave quickly! I'll make it up to you another day with a meal as an apology."Though Rowan wanted to depart, she hesitated. It was evident that the reason she was being allowed to leave by the police was David's influence. She had resolved never to get involved with him again, but memories of her silent interaction with the mysterious boy flooded her mind. In David's d
Ascending the stairs from the elevator, Rowan reached his front door, contemplating David's unusual behavior throughout the day. The memory of David's cryptic parting words lingered in his mind.Rowan wondered aloud, "Should I explain it to her?"His mind raced as he tried to make sense of what he might have misunderstood. After several moments of deliberation, he turned the key in the door lock, still without a clue."I guess I'll have to put it on hold for now," Rowan thought to himself.As he entered his home, he made his way to the entrance and stood before the shoe cabinet, calling out, "I'm back."In response, a flurry of hurried footsteps echoed from a distance. Jessica appeared, wearing a slightly anxious expression. She scanned Rowan from head to toe before letting out a relieved sigh."Are you okay? Why are you back so late?" she asked with genuine concern.Rowan, hesitant to reveal the truth about his visit to the police station, offered a reassuring smile in response. I w
Chapter 148 Abnormality Originally, Rowan thought that what happened today was over. Not only her, but even David thought so. So the next day, when Richard rushed into the office, opened the mobile link in front of him, and clicked on today's hot search posts for him to see, he was stunned for a second before he realized what he had seen. What. The post opened Richard was a bit sensational starting from the title. "The wife of the president of the Oregon Group of company stole on the street. The habits of rich people are really unique." Below are some photos of Rowan talking to the security guard in the mall yesterday and going to the duty room with the security guard. The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened. "Who issued this?" He raised his head and asked Richard. Richard was already roaring in his heart. He wanted to catch all those who dared to touch the tiger's beards and beat them up. Don’t you know that your temporary happiness will put someone else in the worl
On one hand, Rowan's curiosity was piqued, but on the other hand, a vague unease lingered within her.Among her colleagues at the clinic, Rowan and James had always been classified as a couple. Yet, today marked the first instance someone had directly asked her about her relationship with the president of the Oregon Group.Rowan wondered where this news had originated.The short-haired woman appeared to sense something in Rowan's eyes and tone, and suddenly, her excitement bubbled forth."So, you're truly the wife of the CEO of the Thompson family? Wow, I never imagined I'd have the chance to work with someone from the Thompson family in my lifetime!"She prattled on about her excitement, but Rowan only felt increasingly embarrassed.Seeking an opportune moment, she couldn't help but interject."Who did you hear this news from?" Rowan inquired.The woman finally regained her composure.Narrowing her eyes, she responded, "Uh... well... it's been circulating on the Internet, and we happ
