Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 How Could You Have the Nerve to Cry

Eloise's eyes lit up, and said, "That's right! Didn't Hazel say that she had never touched the bracelet? Then, there would be no fingerprints of hers on the bracelet. If there are, it would only mean that Maxwell did not steal the bracelet, but she stole it!"

Hazel's expression changed instantly.

She had touched the bracelet, and her fingerprints were on it!

The policeman noticed something was wrong with her expression and then looked at the jade bracelet that was sparkling and looked expensive. He immediately realized this woman had probably done it, motivated by wealth. He said, "We must take Maxwell back to the police station and discipline him. As his parent, you should come with us."

Hazel smiled and said, "There's no need for that. It's just a naughty boy making a mistake..."

The policeman smiled slightly, "If these fingerprints include yours, then it will be more than of a naughty boy making a mistake."

The policeman decided to take Hazel back to the police station in advance because he was afraid that she would run away. After all, the bracelet was costly. If the victim insisted, Hazel might be imprisoned for ten years.

Beads of cold sweat fell from Hazel's forehead. She knew that once she went to the police station, she would not be able to come back. She decided and knelt in front of Charlotte, "Ms. Lopez, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I made a big stupid mistake..."

She tried to gain sympathy by telling about her lack of money, but Eloise said directly, "What does your losing money in gambling have to do with Char? The bracelet is so expensive. If you succeeded, how much loss would Char have to suffer? You should end up in jail!"

Hazel burst into tears and kept begging for mercy.

Hazel's neighbors were all stunned.

Was it Hazel who had stolen the bracelet? She had refused to admit it at first, blamed it on her son, and then even let her stepson take the blame... She was so vicious!

The young man who had defended Charlotte just now said, "I knew it. These young ladies are not liars. I have never liked Mrs. Cole. I have seen her beat Arthur many times." The young man was a game anchor who had stayed home most of the time. He lived across the hall from Hazel's house, so he had caught Hazel beating Arthur up many times. He had tried to stop Hazel, but she had never listened. Later, she just closed the door when she spanked the poor boy.

When he told his family about it, they had all said that Hazel must be teaching Arthur a lesson because he was too naughty. After all, a gentle woman like Hazel would never do evil things.

"... She's so hypocritical and wicked." Someone sighed.

The middle-aged woman who had been most protective of Hazel just now was so angry that she slapped Hazel in the face and shouted, "Well! You treat me like a fool, don't you?! You stole the bracelet but blamed it on someone else!"

This angry woman worked as a cleaner and had powerful hands. Hazel was slapped so hard that her mouth instantly bled, and she cried even more sadly.

The policeman quickly stopped the angry woman, "Don't hit her. Ms., if you do it again, we will take you to the police station!"

The woman yelled, "How could you have the nerve to cry? You shameless thing! You're a big disgrace to our community!"

Charlotte looked at Hazel in a mess and said softly, "Mrs. Cole, if you hadn't told your son to slander Arthur in the end, I probably wouldn't have wanted to send you to jail. But If I let you go now, Arthur will suffer. So you'd better go to the police station."

Charlotte was soft-hearted, but sometimes, she knew she must make a choice. If she let Hazel go quickly, Arthur's life would be miserable.

Seeing that her pleas had no effect, Hazel gradually turned malicious and stared at Charlotte, "I won't let you go! When I come out... I will not let you go!"
