Chapter 2517
Norman wondered. “Why so?”
“I once heard a story about a man who married a young and beautiful wife. The man was
obsessed with keeping up an appearance, so he often brought his wife out to social events
in order to get showered with the public’s praises. Thus, wherever he went, his wife would
also be there. However, as time passed, his wife met a man who treated her more gently
and looked more handsome than her husband, so she betrayed her and cheated on him
with that man in the end.”
Norman spurted out the wine that he had just drunk when he heard the plot twist and got
caught off guard.
Colton quickly picked up the napkin and blocked the wine stream.
Norman’s eyes widened as if he was extremely taken aback.
Leia and Freyja could not help but laugh out loud.
After that, Norman did not dare to cause any more trouble, and he stayed very absent–
minded throughout the whole meal as if the story that Colton had told would happen to his
parents.
‘I must preach this to my father when I get back home.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFreyja approached Colton and whispered in his ear, “You really know how to make up
stories.”
He looked over and raised his brows. “My wife has the talent for creating stories, so why
can’t I have the same talent too?”
While they were eating, Colton got up and went to the restroom. When he came to the
corner of the corridor, a red–haired woman bumped into him, and his phone dropped to the
ground.
The red–haired woman instantly picked it up for him and returned it to him with a pitiful
expression. “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean it.”
“It’s okay.” Colton was in a good mood today, so he did not make things difficult for her. He
took his phone back from her and went straight to the bathroom.
Looking at Colton, who was leaving her immediately, the corners of the red–haired woman’s
lips curled slightly upward. She grabbed the wallet that she picked out from his pocket
triumphantly and hurried away.
Colton came out of the bathroom and returned to the table. After the four of them had
finished eating, he wanted to pay the bill and reached for his pocket–that was when he
realized that it was empty.
Freyja felt helpless. “I told you that the meal is on me. You don’t have to pay.”
“No.” Colton stood up abruptly. “My wallet is gone.”
Leia was stunned for a moment. “Your wallet went missing?”
Freyja asked, “How did you lose it? Are you sure that you brought it out in the first place?”
“I’m sure, my passport and ID card are inside.” After saying that, something suddenly
flashed across his mind, and his expression dimmed in an instant
‘It happened a while ago…
“Have you brought your laptop along?” he asked Norman.
Norman paused for a split second and then nodded. “Yes.”
“Lend it to me.”
Norman did not know why, but he naturally handed him his laptop.
After Colton sat down, he quickly operated the laptop and hacked into the restaurant’s
surveillance system. The surveillance footage was paused at the moment when the red–
haired woman hit him at the corner of the corridor, and it could be seen that the red–haired
woman was holding his wallet.
He closed the lid of the laptop. “Damn it! That woman actually has the guts to steal my
wallet!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed that the woman was a habitual offender. After all, he did not even notice when
she snatched his wallet.
Freyja frowned. “If you lose your ID card in Zlokova, you can get it reissued, but if you lose
your passport and ID card abroad, it’ll be very troublesome.”
Leia comforted the couple. “Do you want to call the police? We have surveillance footage to
prove it, so the police should be able to locate the woman very quickly.”
Freyja immediately took her cell phone out and called the police.
At the precinct, a police officer went through the surveillance footage and frowned as if he
had a headache.
Freyja noticed something and asked, “Is there any problem?”
The police officer was a little embarrassed. “It’s not a problem… It’s just that we know this
lady very well.”
Leia was astonished for a moment. “What do you mean by that?”
“It’s not her first time stealing. We’ve been receiving many cases of theft since some time
ago, and they’re all her doing. She’s been sent here many times, and we’ve taught her
many lessons. We tried locking her up for one night, three days, or even seven days.” The
police officer explained and then shrugged. “She’ll commit another crime as soon as she’s
released. However, the amount that she stole has always been very small, so the owner of
the wallets and purses can’t build a case on her as the court won’t take the case in at all.”
