Chapter 49 Shouldn’t You Be Thanking Me?
After briefly explaining the whole situation to Joseph, Tyson went to the interrogation
room to see Chloe.
Although they did not cross paths when they attended the party at the Whitmans’ not long ago, Tyson
knew about Chloe. In light of their relationship, she should call him ” Uncle Tyson.” However, Chloe was
aware that the current moment was unsuitable for introductions.
“About a month back, I gave the bracelets to Jake at a coffee shop on Dixie Street. You can check the
surveillance footage there. It’s been quite some time since then, so I wonder why he reported it only
now if what he said is true. There must be something going on.
“Moreover, the store owner who gave her testimony must also be involved in this. Today was my first
time ever seeing her! You can start investigating her to gather more information,” Chloe said, listing all
the suspicious details she could think of.
However, she felt disheartened when the person across from her remained silent. The man in front of
her was Joseph’s uncle, and although they were only related by marriage, there was a slim chance
Tyson knew Jake.
“Chloe, I’ll consider investigating the details you have provided. Don’t worry,” Tyson said. When he felt

Tyson walked out and answered the phone. A magnetic, icy voice spoke on the other end.
“I’m at the station.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll be right there,” Tyson replied.
The station spent the entire afternoon investigating the cause and consequences of the case. Jake had
only reported the incident this morning and it had yet to be officially registered, so Tyson took charge
and handled the case himself.
With narrowed eyes, he examined the picture of the jewelry maintenance store owner
on the blackboard.
“Since she claimed the store’s camera was out of order, we can obtain footage from the
vicinity of the store,” he asserted and promptly sent someone to retrieve it.
After a while, the officer responsible for retrieving the surveillance footage sent over a video. The time
stamp on the video indicated that it was from three days ago. In the footage, Ava visited the woman’s
store with the bracelets, looking to get them polished. She stayed there for fifteen minutes before
leaving, and an hour later, the woman closed the store and left, carrying a beautifully wrapped box with
her. Upon closer inspection, the box in her arms was the same one that Ava had brought the bracelets
in.
The woman was swiftly apprehended and taken to the station. Upon being questioned, she readily
admitted, “I coveted the bracelets, so I swapped them out with counterfeit ones I made at home.”
Tyson sensed that there was something wrong and turned his gaze toward Joseph, who was sitting in
the adjacent restroom. Upon seeing the gloomy expression on Joseph’s face, Tyson started to sweat
profusely.
In any case, he decided to temporarily notify the owner of the bracelet to come over.
The woman was relieved when she saw that Tyson was not going to press her further, and tears welled
up in her eyes. Just an hour ago, her son had experienced a major blood loss during surgery and the
150,000 dollars she had was not enough to cover the costs.
She had to return to Ava and ask for more money, and just at that moment, she received a call from the
station. Ava had offered to provide an additional 300,000 dollars and a letter of forgiveness if she took
responsibility.
Chloe was greatly taken aback when she saw Joseph. She thought she was hallucinating and rubbed
her eyes several times before confirming that it was really Joseph standing in front of her. She frowned
slightly and asked, “How… How did you get here?”

“I…I didn’t know how to tell you about it. You already know?”
“Of course,” Joseph urged impatiently, “Why are you still standing there?”
Nervously, Chloe trailed behind him with a perplexed expression on her face. Once they were out of the
station, Joseph gave her an exasperated look and said, “I got you out. Sxo.com fast
updatehouldn’t you be thanking me?”
Did she really not trust him? If it were not for Tyson, he would probably still be in the
dark.
Chloe lowered her head and said, “Thank you.”
Noticing Chloe’s exhausted expression, Joseph inferred that she had had a rough day. Despite his
lingering discontent, he refrained from reprimanding her any further.
“There are several inconsistencies in this case, and considering the victim’s forgiveness letter, the
defendant is likely to receive a lenient punishment.”
“Victim?” Chloe was stunned and she looked at him. “You didn’t see… I mean, you – didn’t meet the
victim?”
“Why should I meet the victim?” Joseph asked, “That’s the police’s job. I’m not at policeman.”
Though he could have gotten Chloe out on his own, since Tyson was family and worked at the station,
he decided to trust Tyson to handle the cas
