Chapter 243
"W—Wait, this is unfair!" Mary yelled. She took a step back as she wanted to avoid the handcuff. "K—Kate told me to sell everything! I’m just doing what she wants me to do!"
"You keep changing your alibi. You said everything is yours, then it’s Hilda who told you to sell these, and now it’s Kate’s order? It would be best to keep a linear alibi in the police station later," Bernard said while unlocking the handcuff.
Mary was so scared. She was an old woman with a clean record. She had a few offenses, but never enough to warrant her arrest.
If she got arrested and jailed, what would the neighbors say about her?! They would be gossiping about the old lady who was a thief!
Bernard was about to grab her hand, and she pulled it immediately. She then turned around and ran as fast as she could.
Unfortunately, she was old and somewhat overweight, making it hard for her to run. Bernard clicked his tongue in annoyance and grabbed her by her arm. Though he was annoyed by this old woman, just like the rest of the community, he still had to use less force because she was an old lady.
He quickly handcuffed her hands and pulled her by her arm to sit on the Italian Made sofa she was about to sell.
"AHHH! WAIT! THIS IS UNFAIR! YOU CAN’T ARREST ME LIKE THIS!" Mary yelled as she struggled to break free. She didn’t care if her wrists would be bruised because of the friction with the steel handcuff. Her mind was now preoccupied with the idea of escaping jail time!!
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO, OR I WILL SCREAM HARDER!" Mary threatened, but Bernard ignored her.
