Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Refusing to Settle, Determined to Investigate to the End

Adeline calmly watched as Rosa and the female police officer argued. She said firmly, "I will not agree to settle. Even if you withdraw the report, you still won't be able to get your hands on this diamond necklace."

Rosa raised her voice in protest, "Why not? I am the rightful owner of this necklace, so why am I not allowed to touch it? I reported the case! And if I decide not to press charges, I'll drop the case!"

"That's because this necklace is important evidence that you're slandering me! Do you want to stop suing me? Fine, I'll sue you now!" Adeline's eyes narrowed, her powerful aura coming through in every word.

"That's right! We don't agree to settle!" A man's stern voice came in from outside the office.

All eyes turned to the source of the voice and saw a male lawyer wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a sleek black-gray suit enter the office alongside Sara.

Sara, dressed in a black tracksuit, tucked a notebook under her arm and greeted Adeline with a polite nod. "Hello, Madame."

The lawyer also nodded in acknowledgment and gracefully presented his business card to Adeline. "Hello, I am your attorney, Mason Taylor."

Mason fixed a sharp gaze upon Rosa. "While a theft case can be dismissed after it has been filed, this must meet specific conditions. These include minimal significance, no substantial harm or criminal offense, or the expiration of the statute of limitations for prosecution, among other factors. However, in your case, this necklace is valued in the millions, making it no longer meet the criteria for being significantly minor. Its recovery serves as evidence of a criminal act. Therefore, we will not agree to settle, and we demand that the police conduct a thorough investigation to restore my client's innocence!"

Confidently citing legal provisions, Mason delivered his words with unwavering resolve, instantly captivating the entire room.

The teachers present exchanged whispers among themselves.

"It seems Miss Burton's husband is really rich. The attorney showed up at lightning speed. "

"Oh my goodness! I know him! I've seen him on TV before. He's a very famous and impressive lawyer."

"Yes, I remember now that you mention it. He is said to charge a fortune even to appear in court. Even the wealthy elites have to wait in line if they want to hire him!"

There was a lot of whispering going on.

After Rosa overheard these conversations, her face changed drastically. She stammered, "I... I also want to hire a lawyer."
