Filthy rich werewolves by Taylor Caine

Chapter 54

Lily and Annabelle remained in their car by the roadside.

Annabelle asks, "How long are you going to let her look for it?"

Lily shrugs. "Let her look for it till late at night, just before I go to bed. Then, I'll call the director and tell

them that it's fine if they can't find the ring. I'll just acknowledge my misfortunes."

"Heh, you let her off easily," Annabelle says. "If Sean saw her now, I'm afraid he'd vomit. Grace is not

worthy of people like Sean. Only a socialite such as you can match him."

Just as the red Maserati started its engine, several police cars suddenly drive toward them. In the blink

of an eye, the Maserati is surrounded by the police.

A policeman steps out of one of the cars and knocks on Maserati's glass window.

Lily lowers the window. The policeman says, "We received a report that a ring worth hundreds of

thousands was lost here. We're going to lodge a report now to investigate if the ring was lost or stolen."

"Lodge a report?" Lily is stunned.

"But we didn't call the police!" Annabelle says.

However, the policeman pays them no mind and continues, "Anything worth over a hundred thousand

dollars is considered a major case. We would appreciate your cooperation and we also hope to help

the two of you recover the ring."

But the problem is... no ring is lost! The two of them exchange looks. Lily speaks through clenched

teeth, "I don't want to investigate the missing ring further. It's fine if it can't be found."

"If this is a theft, then the value of the item qualifies it as a criminal case and we have to lodge a report

to conduct an investigation. If you could please get out of the car and confirm the general area where

you realized the ring was lost." The officer handling this case isn’t taking any chances.

“We’re going to do this by the book, ma’am.” He opens the car door for Lily. “Now, if you’d please step

out of the car. We’ll take a statement from each of you, separately…”

Lily and Annabelle exit the warm car and are welcomed by a cold blast of air. They walk to the spot

where they had been speaking to Grace. However, the place is now covered with piles of rubbish.

A large mass of rubbish that had originally been in the bin has been poured out. The piles are neatly

grouped to facilitate the search for the ring. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The stench of the garbage assails them, and, with their heightened senses, it is almost unbearable.

Annabelle gags.

Lily and Annabelle are both dressed flashily and standout even more in the midst of the piles of trash.

And yet, the personnel handling the case is not willing to let them leave, insisting that they stand still as

they recount their experience.

This is turning into an ordeal and despite how Lily protests about leaving, the officer in charge refuses.

"Since we're already looking for the ring, then would the two of you just stand here and wait a moment?

If the ring is found, you'll be able to immediately confirm if it's yours."

"Stand here?" Annabelle asks with surprise.

"Yes."

"But it's so dirty and smelly here..."

Just then, an alarming voice suddenly rings out nearby, "Oh my god, is that Lily Atkinson!?! I'm actually

getting to see a huge celebrity!"

Immediately after, a large crowd of people gather around them.

"Why is she standing in the middle of a rubbish pile?"

"Are those police standing next to them? Are they filming a movie now?"

The surrounding crowd erupts in wild discussions.

"I think it's best if I leave now. I will let my assistant and lawyer assist the police regarding this matter,"

Lily says.

"Miss Atkinson, I know you're a celebrity, but the sanitation workers are currently working hard to find

the ring for you. You're the party concerned and your role is to just stand aside and wait, can't you even

do that? Or do you think you're better than everyone else here?" the policeman retorts righteously.
