The people in the room looked at each other while Mrs Clark even forgot about her daughter and what was only on her mind was what she was going to do or say to the police.
The police glanced at Mr and Mrs Clark.
“Handcuff the young lady as we go to the master room to confirm,” the head of the police said making the policewoman nod her head.
She took out the cuffs and put them on Kyalee’s hands by force.
“What are you doing? What’s going on?” Kaylee asked as she shouted as she couldn’t understand what was happening.
“Mrs Rodriguez came for her things but discovered that some of hers and her mother’s jewels were missing. Your parents refused to hand them over to her thus we came here. After searching the house, we found Mrs Rodriguez’s jewels in your room. Do you have anything to say to that?” the policewoman asked coldly as she stared at Kaylee who was confused as she didn’t remember any Mrs Rodriguez in her life.
“Excuse me, who is this Mrs Rodriguez as I can’t recognize one by that name?” Kaylee asked as she felt that the police were just looking for reasons to arrest her.
The policewoman saw the arrogant look and rolled her eyes.
“I am talking about your sister, Rhiannon. Oh no, she isn’t your sister as I heard that your mother is a mistress,” the policewoman said with a smirk.
She had a conflict with Kaylee for a long time and they never got along thus knowing that her background was much better than Kaylee’s although she was from a humble background.
Kaylee glared at the latter.
“You! Do you think that I will be detained? You are wrong! Dad will tell Rhiannon to hand over her jewels just like always! At the same time, she would be told to drop the charges” Kaylee said arrogantly.
“Well, sorry but you are wrong. The person who pressed the charges is her husband, not Rhiannon. Also, If it were her jewels, she wouldn’t have made a big deal out of everything but your mother took Rhiannon's mom’s jewels and clothes. How can Rhiannon tolerate a mistress taking her mother’s belongings?” The policewoman asked causing Kaylee to understand everything.
She blamed her mother for being so greedy for taking all the jewels instead of taking a few things just as she had taken Rhiannon’s jewels.
“Her mother was my father’s wife before she died. As the law claims, her husband has all right to inherit everything she has thus what’s the issue if my mother gets her hands on them? What’s the problem is they become my mother’s?” she asked arrogantly.
The policewoman and the bodyguards who had been left behind by Octavius and Rhiannon shook their heads in disbelief ad because of her shamelessness.
The bodyguards felt that she was stupid and at the same time unlucky cause if they refused to hand Rhiannon her things, they would be ruined.
‘How could Octavius let her be?’ Although both Rhiannon and Octavius had just gotten married and they didn’t love each other, the bodyguards had seen how they cared and respected each other thus they felt that Octavius would surely make sure that their madam would get her belongings one way or another.
“Well, Sabrina’s jewels and clothes should be inherited by her daughter. Can you and your mother stop being so shameless? Also, you guys are living under Rhiannon’s house that if you keep getting on her nerves and refuse to give her what she wants, she might ask you to leave her house instead of her being the one leaving,” the policewoman told Kaylee shocking the latter.
She remained silent as she knew what she had been told was just facts as she understood that Rhiannon had changed and couldn’t wait to see her suffer.
She could only pray that her mother would do the right thing as she didn’t want to leave the mansion as she had already been used to having a big room and living in a huge house.
“Can we go to the master room to see what’s happening?” she asked worriedly.
She knew that her father only could not make her mother make the right decision.
“Okay,” the policewoman said as she was also curious about what was going on the other side.
In the master room, the boxes and sofas were placed on the table as there were so many.
Looking at them, Rhiannon found herself crying as she remembered how her mother looked like when she wore the jewels when going to fashion shows, banquets, and parties.
Octavius saw this and frowned before patting her back soothing her.
After some minutes, Rhiannon recovered and glanced at Mrs Clark coldly.
“You said that my nanny is the one who took the jewels but they have been found in your room. Do you know that we can sue you for defamation?” Rhiannon asked coldly.
“You! Are you going to let this bastard to send me to prison?” Mrs. Clark asked Mr. Clark coldly.
Mr Clark glared at his wife coldly and with a displeased look.
“What do you want me to do? You are the one who took the jewels thus you are guilty,” he said, angrily and without thinking but his words had already hurt his wife.
“How can you say that? I just took them cause you said that you don’t have enough money to buy me similar jewels. She is dead what use was the jewels staying in the boxes?” Mrs Clark asked coldly making Rhiannon angry and her eyes turned colder than they were previously.
“Yes, my mother is dead but both of you have no right to covet on my mom’s properties. Dad, if you were a good husband and never cheated on Mom or had a mistress, I would have been willing to share her properties with you. If you had married a woman after her death who wasn’t your mistress, I would have shared everything I had with her but how can I share my mom’s properties with a mistress and her daughter and at the same time, the man who broke her trust?”
Hearing her daughter’s words, Mr Clark was embarrassed. Although he was mad at Rhiannon for embarrassing her in front of people, he knew that she was angry and couldn’t blame her as he knew that he was also at fault.
“Sir, as you have seen, we have got my mother’s and my jewels in the mother-daughter duo. I will be reporting both of them for theft and also Mrs Clark for defamation,” Rhiannon said shocking everyone even Kaylee who was eavesdropping at the door.
She was so mad and barged into the room taking everyone in the room by surprise.
“You! How can you ask them to arrest me? Your jewels are also mine! Who gave you the right to charge me with theft?” she asked angrily as she pointed at Rhiannon.
Her two hands were cuffed thus when she pointed at Rhiannon, she had to raise her two hands. The scene made Rhiannon chuckle and it angered the family of three.
“Yours? Which jewel that belongs to me has ever been bought by your mother? Even Dad has never bought me any jewels. All of the jewels that I have are from my mom before she left me while the others are from Aunty. Who the hell told you that my things are yours? Are you my sister so that we can share? After all, I remember that my mm only gave birth to me and that you are a mere bastard,” Rhiannon said coldly and with disgust when she said the last words.
“You are just used to taking my things and because I couldn’t protect myself from you and you were always backed by Dad, I let you be but not anymore. You should just rot in jail,” Rhiannon added with a smirk as she loved seeing Kaylee angry and hopeless.
“Rhiannon, you can’t do that! They are still family! What will people say when they discover that you are the one who caused them to be arrested?” Mr Clark asked causing Rhiannon to roll her eyes.
‘Here we go again! Is he trying to guilt-trip me? Is he using what people will say to intimidate me? Hell no!’ Rhiannon said in her head as she had promised herself to not give the family of three any chance.
“You want me to stop charging them for what happened? Do you think that I care about what people are saying? I don’t! Let them see how shameless the mistress and her daughter are!” Rhiannon answered him in a cold tone.
“You! You are making me angry!” Mr Clark said angrily.
He glared at Rhiannon coldly as he wanted to intimidate her till she stopped what she was up to.
“Dad please stop glaring at me! If you want to glare at someone glare at that wife of yours and her daughter! How do they think they are? Also, don’t forget that I can sue you as you stood with Mrs Clark even when you knew that she was hiding jewels, You are her acquittance. You should be feeling lucky that I am not planning on asking them to arrest you cause you are my father!” Rhiannon said coldly causing the man to feel chills running down his spine.
At the same time, he recalled what he had done when they were downstairs and was filled with gratitude.
“But if you keep insisting, there are ways for them not to go to prison and I will drop the charges.”
