The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2016

After that, the police officer said again, "Madam, if your daughter-in-law only stole two hundred dollars from you, we really cannot file a case on this matter. You can only blame her for stealing too little. If she secretly stole your television to sell it off, based on the price of the television at the time the television was purchased, that would be sufficient for us to file a theft case against her. However, she did not steal your television at all!" 1

The police officer was simply using a television as an analogy. However, at this time, Lady Wilson suddenly thought of the television set in Donald’s villa that she had sold together with Harold and Christopher. She was shocked, and she suddenly asked nervously, " Officer, if someone stole a television that is worth one hundred thousand dollars, what kind of sentence would that person receive?" 2

The police officer replied seriously, "If the television was really worth one hundred thousand dollars, that would already be an extremely big amount. As long as the value of the theft reaches sixty thousand dollars, the basic penalty for the crime would be ten years. On this basis, for every additional four thousand and two hundred dollars, the sentence would be increased by one month. If the television is worth one hundred thousand dollars, that person would probably be sentenced to eleven years in prison."

"What?!" Lady Wilson was shocked!

'I could have been sentenced to eleven years in prison just for stealing a television?! That is simply too terrible, right?’

'Fortunately, Donald did not call the police at that time! Otherwise, since I am already so old, I would probably have to die in prison, then...'

At this time, Christopher and Harold, who were lying i n bed, were also frightened when they heard these words. 1

Harold was trembling in fright at this time. After that, Christopher immediately felt a damp heat coming from the sheets, and he blurted out, "Harold... you... why did you wet the bed?!" 3

Harold had a bitter expression on his face as he replied in a low voice, "Dad, I am scared... We could get sentenced to eleven years in prison just for stealing a television. That is simply too frightening..."

Christopher felt particularly helpless at this time, and he sighed as he said, “Sigh! Even if it is frightening, you don't have to wet the bed! Look what you've done! My pants are all wet because of you...."
