Chapter 233: Called the Police? Where Are Your Receipts?

Translator: 549690339

[Kylin: Reporting to the Superior, the Jones Family has contacted The Patrol to report a crime.]

Upon seeing the message sent from Kylin, White Mitchell smirked coldly, promptly replying, “Have The Patrol proceed according to plan!”

After giving instructions to Kylin, White Mitchell quietly set down his cell phone, his gaze falling onto the door of Sherry Jones’ room.

Unable to resist White and Mori Jones’ persuasive efforts, Sherry donned the exorbitantly priced diamond wedding dress.

At this moment, she held the hem of her wedding dress nervously in her hands and walked out in a pair of silver high heels as if she were a princess on the run in a fairy tale appearing before everyone.

Upon seeing her, White could not remove his gaze from her.

This was the diamond wedding dress that he had secretly commissioned for her. Although he had imagined it countless times in his mind, the moment Sherry appeared in front of him in the dress…

White Mitchell could not contain his feelings.

Not just him, but even Zhihui and Mori in the living room couldn’t help but marvel at how the diamond wedding dress seemed tailor-made for Sherry.

Nature made her perfect without any need for embellishment. Every detail, every diamond seemed to highlight Sherry’s charm.

Sherry, who had a figure that even girls were envious of, along with that coveted diamond wedding dress, was fulfilling everyone’s fantasy of a bride.

“Is it… pretty?”

A shy Sherry, with her head down and her eyes glancing towards White who was spellbound, asked.

At this moment, in her fluttering heart, anyone else’s opinion was not as important as White’s.

She was willing to wear the wedding dress and walk down the aisle, making that solemn vow, for White Mitchell and White Mitchell only.

As for White Mitchell, who was already entranced, he came back to his senses after hearing Sherry’s words, looked at her with intense affection and said: “You look stunningly beautiful. My bride, you are the most beautiful bride in the world.”

At these words, a blush spread across Sherry’s face. She turned around, blushing, and went back to her room.

The moment the door closed behind her, she felt as if she was burning up. The warm feeling pervaded her entire body, putting a delightful smile on her face.

Elsewhere, after deciding to report the theft, the Jones Family, accompanied by Jacob Bright, arrived at a branch of The Patrol.

As soon as they arrived, Snowden Jones impatiently said: “Sir, I want to report a theft, I’ve lost a wedding dress worth tens of millions. I want to report a theft!!!”

The officer on duty, hearing this, held a look of puzzlement on his face.

Just minutes ago, he received a directive understanding that this was nothing but the Jones Family being greedy and unreasonable.

The diamond wedding dress was never theirs to begin with. It was mistakenly given to them, but now that the dress has been returned to its rightful owner, they still had the audacity to report a theft?

With that thought, the officer in charge sneered internally, looked at the Jones Family with contempt, then absentmindedly asked, “Fine, tell me. What did the gown look like? Where did you purchase it? How much did you pay? Do you have the receipts?”

“Yes, yes, sir, just a moment…” Jacob quickly pulled out the transfer records from the bridal shop and handed them to the officer.

The officer glanced at it and scoffed, “Say that again, how much was the gown you lost?”

“Tens of millions!” The Jones Family responded in unison.

They didn’t know the actual value of the diamond wedding dress, but knowing that just the diamonds alone were worth tens of millions, and factoring in the other craftsmanship, they figured an estimate of tens of millions would not be far off.

Stealing tens of millions, this time, wouldn’t it be quite a punishment for White Mitchell?

I’m afraid he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison!

Still want to get married? Still want to marry Sherry Jones? Go to hell!

At this thought, a malicious smile broke out on the faces of the Jones family as if they could already see White Mitchell in jail eating prison food.

But just when they were in high spirits, the duty patrol officer walked in with Jacob Bright’s cell phone and slammed it on the table.

The sudden development startled the Jones family, dragging their minds back to reality.

What…

The Jones family gawked at the clearly unhappy officer in front of them, clueless about what they had done to upset him.

The moment they opened their mouths to inquire, the officer interrupted them, sternly scolding, “What nonsense! Are you playing us for fools?

Do you realize that you’re making a false report, wasting our resources? I have the right to charge you with obstruction of public safety!

Look at your transaction history, then at your reason for the report. Do you really think that I can’t tell the difference between ten thousand and several millions?”

This…

The Jones family shivered, realizing belatedly that Snowden and Jacob had only spent ten thousand at the bridal shop that day.

Who would believe that they bought a wedding dress worth millions for just ten thousand?

They had no way to prove that the diamond wedding dress was theirs.

Whoosh!

At this thought, the Jones family, including Jacob himself, stood there dumbfounded, their faces a picture of cluelessness.

Undeterred, Snowden hurriedly continued, “No officer, you got it wrong. The bridal shop gave us a symbolic charge for the dress because of my fiance’s stature.

The real value of the dress is indeed several million. Please, believe me, I’m not lying. You can even go ask the bridal shop.”

The on-duty officer looked at Snowden with irritation, then picked up his walkie-talkie and asked the officer patrolling near the supposed bridal shop to check it out.

Of course, he knew that the bridal shop no longer existed. He was merely going through the motions.

After a short while, the on-duty officer pretended to be angrily said, “Fuck! Trying to fool me? The bridal shop you mentioned doesn’t exist at all!

What do you think of me, a fool, or you’re just too smart? Trying to casually trick me?

Someone, get these idiots out of here! If they dare to bother us again, arrest them, and detain them for forty-eight hours!”

This…

Upon hearing all this, the members of the Jones family went pale. They hadn’t expected their trip to the police station to end this way.

After being chased out of the station, the Jones family looked gloomy while Snowden gritted her teeth.

That wedding dress had rightfully been hers and now it had been stolen by that bitch, Sherry. How could she possibly swallow such an insult!?

She stamped her foot on the ground and said resentfully, “Grandma, even if we can’t report it to the police, I can’t allow that wedding dress to fall into Sherry’s hands!”

“That is my wedding dress, it belongs to me! Jacob bought it for me! No matter what, I need to get it back!”

“Grandma, tell Sherry. She must return the wedding dress to me tomorrow morning! Otherwise, she can forget about Jacob getting the invitation to the aristocrat’s wedding for her!”
