Right then, Ingrid suddenly stood up and said, “How is that not possible? Jared's girlfriend is the daughter of Horington's richest man! He's rich.”
“Richest man in Horington?” Steve smirked mockingly and added, “Even the richest man in Horington is nothing compared to the Bailey family! What more to say when he's just a son-in-law?”
Despite what he heard, Jared just kept mum as he watched how Steve and Herman embarrassed themselves.
Hannah, however, was extremely anxious. She slapped Gary across the face and scolded, “Hey, you old thing! Why are you not saying something?”
In response, Gary slowly turned his head toward Jared and asked, “Jared, I'm just going to ask you one question. Did you borrow that car?”
Seeing that Jared had nodded in response, Gary lowered his head in satisfaction and kept quiet.
Soon, a few men in uniforms arrived in the room. Herman immediately pointed at Jared and ordered, “That's him! He's the car thief. Arrest him!”
When the men wanted to apprehend
Jared, Hanah, Ingrid, and the rest stopped them.
Hannah shouted anxiously at them, “You're not allowed to arrest someone without any proof!”
At the same time, Ingrid whipped out her phone and recorded the whole incident. “You guys are abusing your power! I'm going to record you guys arresting someone without evidence!”
Although Hannah and the rest were worried sick, Jared remained calm and collected as he stared at Steve and
Herman.
Steve, you need evidence to make an arrest! How can you be so sure that Jared is a car thief?” Sarah got up and questioned.
