Sophia saw Alexander as well. She thought he had left, but when she turned her head sideways, she saw him standing on the other side of the glass windows.

He appeared to be pitiful, standing there amidst the chilly weather as cars and passers-by moved past him on the street.

However, Sophia had never been one to be affected by others' piteous states. She averted her gaze, stood up, and walked out before Yvonne entered the place.

Yvonne, contemplating whether she should inform Sophia about Alexander's presence, finally decided to remind Sophia after a few moments of internal struggle. When she opened her mouth to speak, she saw Sophia had stepped out of the cafe, the latter's eyes looking straight ahead. When Sophia strode past Yvonne, she said with a smile, “Let's go to the police station.”

Sophia reckoned it was almost time, and her estimation was accurate.

Before she crossed the road to the police station's entrance, the police officer responsible for handling her case had called her.

She glanced at the red light opposite her. “Hello, Mr. Wright.”

“Ms. Yarrow, we have retrieved your missing bag. The two suspects who stole your bag are here at the police station now. Do you mind coming over?”

“Okay. Give me a moment. I'll be there in two minutes.”

After hanging up the call, Sophia arched a brow while wearing a faint smile.

At that moment, the traffic light before her had turned green. She crossed the street and headed toward the police station.

She arrived almost immediately after hanging up the call despite telling the police officer to wait for another two minutes.

The atmosphere inside the police station was very lively as Delilah was cursing angrily, “Oh, my God! She's my granddaughter, so how am I a robber? I thought my granddaughter's bag was nice, so I took it for my own use. How is that considered robbery?”


Sophia did not immediately go into the interrogation room after being led there. Instead, she stood outside the door and watched Delilah's animated performance for some time before knocking.

The knocks on the door interrupted Delilah's complaints as everyone inside the room instinctively turned to look in the door's direction.

Sophia grinned. “May I come in, Mr. Wright?”

Harry Wright nodded. “Of course.”

Delilah's eyes gleamed when she saw Sophia.

Sophia sat down aside and gazed at Harry. “My bag costs over eight hundred thousand containing over three thousand worth of cash and a limited edition bracelet from Dazzle, which is priced at two hundred and eighty thousand. Besides, there is also a BB cream worth over six hundred and three lipsticks worth three hundred each. The stolen goods are worth over a million in total. I consulted my lawyer earlier, and since the whole incident happened during a live broadcast, the consequences of this issue are severe. Therefore, I am entitled to pursue this matter further for them to bear the responsibilities of their actions.”

She shot a glance at Delilah and said, “A robbery involving over a million. I suppose facing a minimum jail time of fifteen years could be expected for these people.”

Delilah exploded with rage upon hearing her words. “You ungrateful brat! Who took care of you when you were little? All I did was ask you for some money, but you're saying I stole your things now, and you're even trying to sue me? Where is your conscience, you thankless girl!”

Sophia pretended not to hear a word. Just as Harry was caught in an awkward position, she said, “Mr. Wright, I will never accept reconciliation through compounding for this matter.”

Harry was in a dilemma. He stared at the gorgeous woman before him. Her clear and pretty eyes, which should be alluring, were presently glinting with determination and hostility.

He merely kept quiet, for he knew that he wouldn't understand her feelings without standing in her shoes.

Sophia is right. This matter had indeed created a terrible impact on society. Old Mrs. Sharp failed to get the money she wanted, so she resorted to stealing. Over ten million netizens witnessed her actions during the live broadcast. Regardless of her denials, there is already evidence of her wrongdoings over the Internet. She cannot weasel her way out of this.

“I'm here to take back my bag, Mr. Wright.”

Sophia asserted her dominance by taking the initiative to express her mind. She had not met Delilah's gaze since she entered the interrogation room.

Harry returned Sophia the bag the police had successfully intercepted before it was sold. She took out every item inside the bag in front of everyone.

The cash and the bracelet inside the bag, which she planned to gift Katherine, were missing as she expected.

Sophia had to compliment Delilah for her efficiency.

She glanced at Delilah before replacing all the items in her bag. “Mr. Wright, I have already described the items inside my bag when I lodged the report. I believe you all have put everything down in detailed writing as well. Therefore, you all should know better than me about the things missing from this bag.”

For that reason, Harry, who had initially wanted to persuade Sophia to settle that matter in private, felt extremely embarrassed and was at a loss for words. “Ms. Yarrow, when we found your grand- the suspects, they had already sold your bracelet away.”

Sophia tidied the content in her bag and beamed. “That's all right. My lawyer will be here soon. You can deal with my lawyer after this. Thank you for retrieving my bag.”

Sophia did not seem like someone who just had their bag stolen because the graceful smile on her face never wavered throughout the conversation.
