Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 19 Ms. Geller, Please Cooperate

Chapter 19 Ms. Geller, Please Cooperate

Others might not know the truth, but the security guards were aware that Ms. Geller was the new owner of Apartment 1601 in Fallingwater Community.

Moreover, she had managed to buy the property at a price three times higher than its market value within a few hours, which meant she must be someone extraordinary.

Also, the property manager asked them to keep Ms. Geller's ownership of the house a secret and tell others she and her family were only tenants.

The property manager warned them that they should keep their mouth shut if they wanted to stay out of trouble.

At first, the security guards didn't know who Gianna was. Now they saw her at the entrance nearly every day and became familiar with her.

And now, Amari accused Gianna of theft?

Furrowing their brows, the security guards said, "Is there a misunderstanding? Ms. Geller is a tenant here."

"What?" Amari's eyes widened as she looked at the security guards in surprise, asking, "A tenant?"

Alisa had expected that the guards would say that, so she just smiled and kept silent.

The security guards nodded and said, "That's correct."

"Are you kidding? There have been no houses for rent in Fallingwater Community. Only wealthy people or those who have a high social status live here. If the house is rented to someone

underprivileged and anything goes wrong, who will be held accountable?" Amari shouted angrily.

Only Gianna and her family were different. Every time they passed through the gates, they greeted the guards politely. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

On scorching days, Mrs. Geller even brought them ice-cold soda water several times. Though it was nothing expensive, it made them feel appreciated.

Hearing Amari's words, the security guards couldn't help but defend Gianna, "Ms. Geller has completed all the necessary leasing procedures, and since the owner was willing to rent the house to them, it means they are upright. If you don't need anything else, we have to go back to work, Ms. Harper."

"No, wait!" Amari yelled, "She stole my mom's bracelet! Call the police right now!"

The security guards were a little speechless.

Would someone who could afford to buy a house worth millions of dollars really stoop to stealing a bracelet?

"Do you have any proof?" One of the security guards asked and observed the procedures.

"If I had proof, why would I bother coming to you?" Amari replied angrily, "Everyone else in this community has been living here for many years, except for Gianna, who just moved in. When she arrived, my mom's bracelet went missing. I have every reason to suspect her."

The security guards were unsure how to respond.

They were supposed to assist with investigations when an owner loses something.

Gianna was no ordinary, but they couldn't tell others. They were at a loss about what to do.

So the security guards looked at Gianna.

Gianna smiled and was about to say something.

Suddenly, they heard another voice, "Amari, why aren't you at home? What are you doing here?"

Seeing who that was, Amari's face lit up, and she ran over there. Pointing at Gianna, she said, "Brother, she stole Mom's bracelet. I was about to ask the security guards to call the police, but it seems like they are not going to do anything about it."

"Oh, really?" Dillan glanced at the security guards with a stern face.

The security guards froze.

Dillan was the captain of a bureau in Rheinsville City.

He was known for his swift and decisive actions.

Crossing him would have serious consequences.

As the security guards stood there and didn't know what to do next, Dillan added in a stern voice, "If she has stolen things, she must face the legal consequences."

With these words, he turned to the two men behind him and ordered, "Take her into custody for further investigation."

Upon hearing this, Alisa couldn't help but revel secretly.

Ms. Geller being caught stealing would undoubtedly hit the headlines.

From now on, she would never be bothered by her, Ms. Geller again.

Two uniformed men standing beside Dillan approached Gianna and said with stern faces, "Please come with us."

Gianna looked up at them and asked with a half smile, "Are you sure you want to arrest me before figuring out what happened?"

"We're only taking you back to the police station for further investigation."

Gianna remained composed and said patiently, "Have you made up your mind? Once I step inside, I may not want to come out."

Amari couldn't help but laugh, asking, "Are you serious? What kind of place do you think the police station is? Do you think you can enter and leave as you please? Stealing items worth over 850 thousand dollars, you will spend the rest of your days behind bars."

Gianna raised her eyebrow and said, "Very well. Let's go."

As soon as they walked out of the community, Gianna's phone rang.

Just as she reached for her phone, one of the police officers commanded, "Please hand over your phone. Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, you are not allowed to make any contact with others."

Gianna glanced at him and retorted coldly, "Am I guilty of murder?"

"This is the standard procedure. Please cooperate." The officer spoke in an official tone, "We will handle your calls for you and notify your family."

With a smile, Gianna directly her phone to the officer and said, "Catch it."

With that, she gave them a meaningful look and turned around.

Gianna's cell phone kept ringing. The police officer answered the call with a serious tone, "This is Rheinsville City Criminal Police Unit speaking. Gianna is suspected of theft and has been detained for further investigation."

Esteban stared at his phone after the call was ended and couldn't believe what he just heard.

Theft?

investigation?

Had they lost their minds?

Immediately, Esteban hurriedly opened the contacts and dialed several numbers.

He got the same message from each call, and they told him, "Gianna has been detained by the Rheinsville City Criminal Police Unit for theft."

On the other side, Dillan, who ordered to arrest Gianna, had no idea that his move had caused a stir in Rheinsville City.

In the Geller's villa...

After Gianna was taken by the police, Alisa went back and immediately told Old Mrs. Geller, "Grandma, Gianna stole a bracelet from Ms. Harper's mother and got caught. Likely, the engagement party with the Finley family won't be held as scheduled. Should we let Mr. Finley know?"

If the Finley family found out that Gianna was a thief, they would certainly call off the engagement.

She also didn't have to worry that they would force her to marry Mr. Finley instead if Gianna bailed on the engagement party.

"What? She is detained for burglary?" Enrique said angrily, "I always knew Gianna was up to no good. Now she's got the Geller family into trouble. I'm afraid the Finley family will cancel the engagement."

Brenna took a sip of the coffee and said calmly, "That may actually be a blessing in disguise."

Chace was confused and asked, "Mom, how can this be a good thing? If the engagement with the Finley family falls through, we'll lose the investments. It's a great blow to the Geller family."

"What do you know?" Brenna glared at him and said coldly, "As long as Gianna is around, the Finley family won't invest in our company. That wretched girl is deliberately going against me. Rather than that, it's better to ruin the engagement between the Finley and Geller families. That way, even if things have changed, Alisa won't have to marry Mr. Finley."

Chace still failed to get the point and said, "Anyway, the alliance would at least bring us investments. Now the Geller family can't hold on for much longer, and no one is willing to invest in us."
