Aleigha paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant. She got in the car but did not intend to take them with her.
"I'll meet you at the bank two blocks ahead."
After that, the driver started the car and drove away, leaving Perla cursing behind her in a fit of anger.
When Aleigha got to the bank, someone took her to the VIP lounge.
The clerk told her that she could make the transfer now, as long as Perla was here.
Perla and Sean ran over almost without stopping. They looked around, trying to find Aleigha.
Someone walked up to them and brought them into the VIP lounge. At the same time, someone secretly followed them in.
As soon as Perla came in, she gasped and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"Check it out. I can transfer it to you now." Aleigha gave Perla a hint with her eyes.
Perla quickly gave her her bank card and did not care about what happened behind her.
Aleigha handed the card to the clerk. After a while, the transfer was done.
"You can check your balance now."
Aleigha passed the card to Perla, and a trace of a smile flashed in her eyes.
Perla took her card with a trembling hand. She wondered if she was dreaming.
"Well, thank you. But I can't give you the bracelet now. I need to make sure that I get the money."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Perla took the card and flied to the counter. Soon, she saw the number she wanted.
Both she and Sean danced with excitement.
"Perla Mccall, Sean Mccall, you're under suspicion of racketeering. Come with us to the police station."
Just as Perla and Sean were happy, two cops handcuffed them.
Perla was sent to the police station before she knew what had happened.
"Miss Gardner, you should come with us, too." Arthur said.
Originally, this wasn't his case. But Aleigha asked him for help and he said yes.
That was why he came here.
"Mr. Maddox, the jade bracelet on Perla is a relic of my mother.
"She took it. Can I have it back?"
Arthur was a little surprised, but then he nodded. As long as you have proof that it belongs to your motherâ‚’ "
Proof?
Aleigha smiled and said nothing, and then went to the police station.
It was already evening when she came out of the police station. She had turned off her cell phone.
When she turned it on, she was almost home.
A figure darted out and rushed to her car.
Aleigha looked over, only to see Samantha lying on the ground in a sorry state and glaring at her.
'Aleigha, where is my mother?"
"Keep driving. Ignore her."
Aleigha closed her eyes. The driver did as she said. Samantha was really freaked out. She thought she could stop Aelgiha, but she was wrong.
The car did not stop but went faster and faster. Samantha had no choice but to get out of the way.
Aleigha could hear Samantha cursing as she walked into the house.
It was already late but Adrian hadn't come back yet. After taking a bath, Aleigha sat at her desk and read papers.
From time to time Samantha's cries would come from downstairs, but she pretended not to hear them.
