Chapter 580: 580: Self-Directed and Self-Acted



However, Anna didn’t want to call the police. If the incident became public after involving the police, even if Xaviera Evans was the one who had stolen the item, she herself would be embarrassed by this association.

After a while, a police officer walked up to the group.

An idea flashed across Anna’s mind, this must be the officer her mother had arranged. Thus, without a doubt, he would side with her.

The police officer hesitated to speak, “Mrs. Russell, your granddaughter… this…”

Caleb Mamet was indifferent.

Seeing the situation, Anna knew the officer was about to accuse Xaviera of theft so she immediately bit her lip and feigned distress, “Grandmother, this is our family matter. It would be better if we don’t let everyone know. If Xaviera’s reputation is ruined, how will I explain it to my parents? This is just a misunderstanding, so…”

Mrs. Russell was not fooled. Xaviera was Nina’s child; she would certainly not steal. The hesitant attitude of the police officer hinted that Nidya Hughes was involved in this.

Nidya was such a fool. She was constantly standing by her adopted daughter and belittling her biological daughter. What kind of mother was she?

Before Mrs. Russell could open her mouth, the officer awkwardly said, “Mrs. Russell, your granddaughter, she, she didn’t steal anything!”

Everyone was taken aback.

The police officer said, “It’s true, she didn’t steal anything.”

Xaviera Evans: “…why are you making things so difficult? It’s as if I did steal something.”

Anna was stunned and her face grew stiff. Her mind went blank. Her mother had said that everything was arranged, so why wasn’t this officer siding with her?

Sara Wendleton thought the case was already settled. Upon hearing the officer’s words, she sneered, “If you say she didn’t steal, what are you conflicted about?”

The policeman looked innocent, “I am not conflicted! I just feel that Mrs. Mamet, who clearly didn’t steal, was falsely accused. That’s why I didn’t disclose it immediately.”

Sara was left speechless.

“Miss Wendleton, did you think I would say that Mrs. Mamet stole the item? Why would you think so?” the officer appeared puzzled.

Sara Wendleton was embarrassed, “That’s not what I meant! It’s just that we found the ring in Xaviera Evan’s bag, so it was an open-and-shut case!”

Looking thoughtful, the officer nodded, “Miss Wendleton makes a valid point, so we checked the store’s surveillance footage from a different angle and slowed it down. It showed that Miss Evans did not steal the ring. Instead, it was Miss Campbell who tossed the ring into Miss Evan’s bag.”

“I would like to ask Miss Drew whether it was an accident or an intentional act? This case involves 10 million dollars after all. I hope you answer honestly,” the officer added.

Anna trembled all over.

Everyone gasped. Did Anna throw the ring into the bag herself? If so, it was a deliberate set up!

“No way! I didn’t expect that Anna Campbell was the actual thief, trying to cast blame on another. I always thought she was innocent and kind. I didn’t expect her to be so cunning!”

“Making a scene about this matter and blackmailing someone else! If she had succeeded in this, Mrs. Mamet’s reputation would be destroyed!”

“Thankfully Mr. Caleb Mamet was present. No one would dare to deceive in front of him. This proved Mrs. Mamet’s innocence! Some people always pretend to be generous, and put on a show to stand up for Mrs. Mamet. It was all for show!”

“Disgusting!”

Listening to everyone’s ridicule, Anna’s face turned pale. She hung her head, not daring to meet the various looks of suspicion directed at her.

What was going on? Her mother had said everything was set, right?

Anna nervously defended herself, “Grandmother, I…I did not do that. Xaviera is my little sister, how could I frame her? It must have accidentally fallen into the bag. This is all a misunderstanding.”

Sara also spoke up, “Mrs. Russell, you can’t believe this small-time officer’s words. He might have been bribed by Xaviera, which is why he is speaking for her. I think this is a staged act from Xaviera from the start in order to smear Anna!”

Mrs. Russell slowly lifted her eyes, “Anna, can you explain why Xaviera would set you up?”

Anna was lost for words.
