Chapter 469 The Missing Earrings

Ronian looked at Ormand's back and frowned. Ronian felt that something was strange and did not follow him immediately.

Ormand took a few steps before turning back. "This is an order from the higher-ups. You want to disobey the order?"

"No."

There was no time for Ormand to think too much, so he could only quickly catch up with Ormand and go to Ormand's office for a small meeting.

It was 7:00 in the evening.

Viola and Todd led the soldiers of the fourth team and surrounded the Felton's house.

A group of big and tall soldiers surrounded the inner wall of the villa, and it felt a bit scary.

When Dewey came out and saw this, he was shocked.

"What... What is going on?"

Viola was the first to step forward to explain, "Dewey, my crystal earrings disappeared at the party in the afternoon. I checked all the socialites who attended, and Jennifer was the only one left."

With a serious face, Todd showed his certificate to Dewey and said, "Please cooperate with the National Bureau of Investigation.”

Dewey was stunned.

Were they suspecting that Jennifer had stolen the crystal earrings?

"It is impossible. Mrs. Hobson, Ms. Felton grew up with you. You know her best. As the Felton family’s young lady, she's taken great care of by her family. She doesn't lack anything at all. It is impossible for her to steal your things!"

Viola's attitude was firm. "Perhaps it was before, but Jennifer has a strong desire for revenge. You know this. At today's party, I quarreled with her. I can't rule out the possibility of her maliciously stealing the crystal earrings and taking revenge on me."

Dewey still couldn't believe it. "How could it be... Ms. Felton has been brought up very strictly since she was a kid. She can't do such a thing!"

Looking at his watch, Todd didn't want to waste time with Dewey. "Whether Jennifer is innocent or not, we'll find out soon. Please get out of the way."

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him quickly rushed into the villa.

Because they had the warrant to search the house, the bodyguards of the Felton family did not dare to stop them. In addition, Ronian was not at home, so Dewey did not know what to do.

A bodyguard secretly called Ronian.

When the bodyguard called him, Ronian was in Ormand's office, listening to the lecture.

Ormand's face quickly turned cold. "Have you learned all your rules? Don't you know that you have to switch off your phone before coming in or at least turn it on silent?"

"It was my mistake. I'll turn it off now."

Ronian took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the phone.

It was the bodyguard of the Felton family.

Ronian frowned suspiciously and looked at the time on his phone. Ormand had already lectured him for an hour.

At first, he felt that it was Ormand who deliberately lectured him. Ormand wanted to use Ronian to establish his prestige.

However, now that the bodyguard of the Felton family was calling, it was obvious that something urgent had happened at the house.

Could it be that Ormand was deliberately stalling for time?

There came a knocking sound.

As Ronian stared at the phone screen in deep thought, Ormand tapped his knuckles on the table and silently reminded him.

Ronian came to his senses and quickly muted his phone.

"Mr. Hobson, something seems to have happened to my family. Can you let me go back?" Ormand asked anxiously.

Ormand's expression was cold, and his displeasure filled the air.

He didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he was refusing.

The phone in Ronian's hand was still on. Because the phone was not switched off, the bodyguard called again in a few seconds.

Thinking about the bodyguard's call, Ronian was restless and decided to disobey the order.

"Mr. Hobson, Sherlyn was seriously sick some time ago. I asked someone to take care of her. Something must have happened to her. I have to go back and take a look.

"If Mr. Hobson is unhappy and believes that I am disobeying orders and breaking the rules, I am willing to come to the bureau tomorrow to receive the inquest."

After saying the last sentence, Ronian turned and left, quickly opening the door.

“Ronian!"

Ormand shouted, but Ronian did not respond at all. He was determined to rush back to the Felton’s house.

Ormand looked at his watch.

At this time, Viola and Todd were probably not done with their investigation.

With a cold face, Ormand quickly got up and left the National Bureau of Investigation, taking a car to the Felton's house.

At the same time, the soldiers of the fourth team were pretending to search without destroying any furniture in the old house.

“Sirl"

Asoldier ran out of the villa and bowed in a well-behaved manner.

Todd said, "Speak."

"The top floor is locked. We can't go in."

"You can't search there! The top floor is where Mrs. Felton is living. She is resting right now. You can't go up and disturb her!

Besides, there is no way the earrings are hidden on the top floor!" Dewey said, who was panicking.

He was determined. "The top floor is a restricted area set up by Mr. Felton. Normally, Ms. Felton can't even go up. So she can't hide things inside. If Mr. Felton comes back and knows that the top floor has been searched, he will definitely be angry!

"Mr. Felton is the deputy director of the National Bureau of Investigation. Aren't you afraid that he gets even with you after the fourth team does this to his house?"

It seemed Todd was in a bit of a dilemma as he secretly glanced at Viola.

Viola didn't expect Dewey to be so stubborn. She didn't know what to say.

Then another soldier jogged over to Viola and whispered into her ear, "Mrs. Hobson, Sherlyn is indeed not in the room."

Not in her room meant that she was really on the top floor!

Viola stared coldly at Dewey. She said decisively, "My pair of earrings is the only one left in the market, and it's worth tens of millions of dollars. If Jennifer really stole it, she must take responsibility. If you want to prove her innocent, you should obediently let us go to the top floor."

Todd immediately followed up, "If you insist on stopping us, I can only get people to arrest you for obstructing official duties."

Why did they suddenly want to catch Dewey?

Dewey was stunned.

The bodyguard called Ronian but it did not get through. Dewey did not know when Ronian would come back or whether he would come back.

Dewey didn't want to stay in the National Bureau of Investigation for a few nights...

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Dewey could only compromise and said, "Alright, I will open the door. I will take you up."

Viola and Todd glanced at each other and immediately followed him.

When they arrived at the top floor, Dewey took out the key and thought about the secret inside. His hands trembled, and he hesitated.

When Todd saw him dawdling, she decisively took the key from his hand and opened the door herself.

It was late at night. The sky outside was dark, and the corridor on the top floor was dark. Even the lights were not turned on.

From time to time, there would be gusts of cold wind. It was very strange.

The iron lock opened, and the heavy iron door was pushed open.

Todd went in first, and he protected Viola vigilantly.

It was too dark inside. Viola looked at Dewey and said, "Turn on the lights in the corridor."

"Mrs. Hobson, the lights on the top floor are broken. So we can't turn them on." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Viola felt strange. "Ronian is never stingy. He will definitely let people fix the lights when they are broken!"

Dewey stammered and explained, “It's because of Mrs. Felton. Right! Mrs. Felton is in poor health and afraid of strong light. She doesn't like to go out during the day. So Mr. Felton didn't fix the lights."

"It's alright, Mrs. Hobson."

Todd turned on his small flashlight and led her inside.
