The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

As she was faced with the police officer's confirmation, Lady Wilson nodded as she gritted her teeth and said, "That's right. It's two hundred dollars!" The police officer thought that there was a problem with his ears. 2 "An old lady who is living in the most luxurious villa a t Thompson First would actually call the police and file a police report for two hundred dollars? That cannot be right..." 4 As he thought about this, he secretly thought, Could it be that all rich people talk like this and simply refer to two million dollars as two hundred? During my last class reunion, the rich heir in my class was also the swhen he talked about his luxury car. It was obviously a Rolls-Royce that had cost more than five million dollars. However, when anyone asked him about the price, he would simply say that it was a little more than five hundred. Is this a common problem that the wealthy people have? As he thought about this, the police officer could not help but feel a little puzzled. It stands to reason that this old lady has aworth of over one hundred million dollars. So, she shouldn't be so agitated even i she were to lose two million dollars, right? So, he looked at Lady Wilson again before he said," Hello, madam. I would like to confirm this with you again. You said that your daughter-in-law, Hannah, stole two hundred from you. The two hundred that you are referring to is two million dollars, right?" "No." Lady Wilson replied, "I'm talking about two hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars in cash. Two pieces of one hundred dollar notes." "Ahhh?!" The police officers were all in shock and their jaws were about to fall to the ground.

The chief of the police officer replied embarrassedly," Madam, your eldest daughter-in-law took two hundred dollars from you and you made a police report to arrest her over that sum of money?" 4 Lady Wilson raised her brows as she asked, "What's wrong with that? Am I not allowed to make a police report? She stole my hard- earned money, so can't I make a police report then?" The chief police officer replied embarrassedly, "Of course you can make a police report. However, I have to tell you about sbasic legal knowledge. According to the definition of theft in our country's law, the penalty for theft is that the amount involved would have to be a large and sufficient amount." After he was done speaking, the officer continued explaining, "The threshold to determine the relatively large amount is between one thousand dollars and above three thousand dollars. If the standard is not met, then there is no way for you to pursue a criminal case for the theft." 5 Lady Wilson frowned as she said, "What the hell?! She stole my hard-earned money! Do you know that I only earned one hundred dollars of salary after working hard the whole day yesterday? After that, I only received another one hundred dollars after getting slapped in the face! The two hundred dollars is money that I was going to use so that our family could eat dumplings to celebrate the new year!" The police officers were all dumbfounded and they thought to themselves, This old lady is just joking around with us, right? She's living in such a big and luxurious villa but she actually made a police report because of two hundred dollars? Furthermore, she said that she made these two hundred dollars by working hard for it to earn one hundred dollars, before getting slapped in the face to get another one hundred dollars? Even if an ordinary person were poor, they would not be reduced to this state. Besides that, this old lady is living in such a big and luxurious villa. This is simply too amazing! However, the police officer could only patiently explain, "There is no other way around it since this is clearly stipulated by the law, madam. If the other party only stole two hundred dollars from you, then there is really no way for us to file the case at all. We can only register a record of this incident for you first. In the future, if she meets the criteria for us to file a case because of anything else, we can try to help you to recover the losses then." Lady Wilson hurriedly said, "Then I must have remembered wrongly! She did not steal two hundred dollars from me, but she actually stole two thousand dollars from me!" 2

The police officer replied embarrassedly, "The amount of money that she has stolen from you depends entirely on the facts of the case. Even if you say that she has stolen two thousand dollars from you and even if we arrest her after filing the case, in the end, if we find out Wer that you were lying, then the standard for filing the case will not be met. Moreover, you will even be held legally responsible for your lies." After that, the police officer reminded her, "Besides that, madam, I would like to explain to you that even if she really did steal two thousand dollars from you, she will only be under supervision order and she will not be detained. Do you understand the meaning of supervision order? We will not arrest or detain her, but her personal freedom will be restricted to a certain extent and community corrections would be carried out on a regular basis. At that time, she might be asked not to leave Aurous Hill or the street where your villa is located. She will basically be off her supervision order after doing scommunity corrections work." 2

"What?!" Lady Wilson blurted out, "Don't you think that yourmanagement is a little too lax and lenient then? This is theft!"

The police officer sighed helplessly as he said, "Let's put it this way instead, madam. Yes, committing theft is indeed a crlowever, ve there has to be a proper degree of accountability. If a student comes and reports that his classmate has stolen his eraser that is worth a dollar, should we go and arrest the other party too? That would not be appropriate at all!" X
