Chapter 2213
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
When Fiona saw the two police officers walking through the door, her face turned pale with fright.
Raegan really called the police!
The employees in the office who did not know the situation were all watching curiously, but they could all tell that the police officers were here for Fiona.
âWhich one of you is Fiona Channing?â
A policeman asked, scanning the people in front of him with sharp eyes. Soon, he spotted Fionaâs panicked face.
âAre you Fiona Channing?â
How would Fiona dare to lie to the police? She nodded silently.
When they saw Fiona admitting it, the police officers went straight to her.
âFiona Channing, someone reported you of stealing another personâs property. Please return to the police station with us to help with the investigation.â
âWhat? Fiona stole something? Could it be that bag?â
âI donât mind her being nosey but sheâs a thief too?â
âJudging from how vain she usually is, it really is possible for her to do such a thing.â
âNo wonder she talked to Ava like that just now. It turns out that the bag belongs to Ava. Did she steal Ava's bag?â
Several female colleagues were discussing among themselves at one side, and Fiona's face became even more embarrassed when she heard them.
âI didn't steal it! Sir, it's just a misunderstanding!â
Fiona tried her best to quibble. She turned her head to look at Ava to try to appear pitiful.
âAva, are you really not going to help me? I just wanted to help you and your mother ease your relationship. What did I do wrong? Your mom insisted on giving me this bag, but I don't care for it at all.
I'll give it back to you!â
Seeing Fiona twisting the facts, Ava looked back at her unhurriedly.
âJust explain it to the officers. They'll investigate it clearly to verify whether youâ re being wrongly accused.â
âYou...â She did not expect Ava's attitude to be so firm. Fiona was angry and anxious, but there was no other way. In the end, she was taken away by the police in front of everyone.
Kendra, who was on the side, watched this scene and could only hide in the corner as she shivered.
She had also received a lot of benefits from Raegan lately, but those benefits were all given to her by Raegan. She should be fine, right?
As she thought about it, Kendra suddenly met Ava's meaningful smiling eyes.
She could not help but cower and hurried back to her seat, not daring to say a word.
During lunch break, Ava was about to go out to lunch with Maisie. However, when they walked out of the office, they saw Raegan waiting there.
âAva, your mother is here so I won't disturb you guys. I'll go find my brother.â Maisie was very tactful and quickly fled the scene.
Ava did not want to make her relationship with Raegan even tenser in front of her colleagues, so she took the same elevator with Raegan to go downstairs.
After they left the elevator, Ava walked to the entrance herself while Raegan chased after her.
âAva, don't walk so fast. Itâs snowing today. Be careful of the slippery ground.â Raegan reminded her, her tone filled with concern.
However, Ava did not slow down. She only stopped walking when she got to the side of the road and was some distance away from the entrance of the company.
Raegan quickly went to Avaâs side too.
âAva,â Raegan carefully called out Avaâs name. Ava lifted her eyes to look into Raeganâs expecting and anxious ones. Then, she took a deep breath before saying.
âI've already...â
