NovelEnglishChapter 166
There wasn't much the cops could do about Simon's attempted theft. At most,
they could detain him for a few days; at worst, he'd get off with a verbal warning. After all, he hadn't stolen
anything.
Janice had always known this.
She never expected Simon to face real consequences; she just wanted to establish that he had tried to steal her
crochet piece and let the news spread. Simon valued his reputation more than anything.
Getting caught sneaking in to steal his ex-girlfriend's crochet piece and being caught in the act? That was a
complete disaster.
"Ms. Smith."
Edward had spoken to the officers in advance, so Janice was granted permission to see Simon.
The door opened, and she stepped inside. Simon wasn't in handcuffs and was just sitting there freely. An officer
was standing nearby.
Once she took a seat, only three remained in the room.
Simon glared at her coldly as if he could kill her with his eyes.
Janice struck first. "I hear you're denying the theft. Then why have you been yelling to see me?"
"| didn't steal anything. You gavethe passcode! You toldto go get it."
Before Janice arrived, Simon had already contacted his lawyer. The lawyer's advice was simple-cling to one thing.

And Heidi, despite running off, hadn't thrown Simon under the bus. She had made sure the security guard kept
quiet.
Without solid proof, charging Simon with theft was tricky. He insisted that he and Janice were still a couple and
that she had given him the passcode.
He claimed he had just been drunk and wanted to take a look. It wasn't like the National Crochet Union had a
rule against viewing competition entries.
After an entire night of strategizing with his lawyer, Simon had braced himself for a battle over the theft
accusation.
What he never expected was that Janice didn't even plan to make a big deal out of it. Her goal had always been
the same-to ruin him completely and reclaim everything that was hers.
"Whether you stole it or not, the police will figure that out," Janice said, leaning back in her chair.
"| cto see you because I'm pulling out my shares. Once you're out, | expect you to cash them out and
transfer the money toimmediately."
"Pulling out?" Simon's eyes narrowed in disbelief. "You never invested a dime! Why the hell should I give you a
payout?"
"Ownership isn't about whether | put in money or not. I've signed a contract proving | own shares in
Refined Threads Co. By procedureet
you have to cashout. Of course, | know you're short on funds right now. If you can't pay me, I'll accept an

Simon's expression shifted from shock to fury. "You want my shares? Janice, do you think you can take over

is mine! It has nothing to do

His reaction was exactly as she had anticipated.
Janice chuckled. "Alright then. If you

He refused to let her sit there, all smug and superior.
Simon turned to the officer beside him. "Leave us for a moment."
