Chapter 83 Humble in Love
The two policemen listened to Shirley’s statement and looked at Amelie with serious expressions. They
asked, “Is what she said true?”
Amelie’s face turned pale, and she waved her hand in panic. “I didn’t do that. She slandered me and
threw my things out. She is a criminal. You should arrest her!”
“You know best whether I have slandered you or not.”
Shirley’s beautiful face was cold and expressionless. She said with clear logic, “As the owner of this villa,
I have the right to deal with any items in the house. Your words just happen to confirm your
trespassing.
“What’s more, the things in the suitcase you stole are priceless. Based on that alone, you will spend at
least three years in jail”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Amelie was in a hurry to defend herself. She said angrily, “There are only a few old clothes in the
suitcase. They have no branded clothes. They are worth less than 16 thousand dollars. How can they be
priceless?”
After saying that, Amelie regretted it.
Shirley curled her lips in satisfaction and looked at the police officers. “Sirs, you heard what she
said just now. She confessed everything. There is no need to talk nonsense with her. Just take her
away.”
One of the police officers nodded and took out the handcuffs. He said to Amelie, “Madam, please
cooperate with us. You have to go to the police station with us to help with the investigation.”
Amelie was so scared that her face turned even paler. She retreated and hid behind Braden. “Don’t
come over. I’m innocent. Braden, save me!”
At this time, Aspen, who had long been dissatisfied with Amelie, took advantage of the situation,
and said directly, “I can testify that Ms. Wilson’s things were indeed taken by Ms. Nelson‘

has done in the villa these days.”
Aspen carefully recounted Amelie’s strange and vicious behaviors. What Amelie did sounded like a
crime. The two police officers expressions became more and more serious.
“You are lying. Shut up!”
Amelie was like a monster that had revealed its true form. She rushed to Aspen, trying to stop her from
continuing
Indeed, she treated these servants badly and usually tortured them a lot.
She thought that they had no souls, no dignity, and no matter what she did to them, they would not
dare to resist.
She did not expect that she would be wrong this time.
“That’s enough!”
Braden’s handsome face darkened.
The chaotic scene immediately quieted down. Aspen did not dare to say anything more, and Amelie did
not dare to make any more noise. The two policemen looked at each other, not knowing how to
solve it.
Even if what Amelie did was already a crime, they did not have the courage to capture someone from the
hands of the president of the Stewart Group.
Shirley was a little tired.
She wasn’t surprised or concerned about what a weirdo Amelie was. Right now, all she wanted was
to take back her suitcase.
“Amelie, I’ll say it one last time. Give me the thing, or else no one will be able to save you, not even
Braden!”
These words were domineering, but they were more or less challenging Braden’s authority Shirley
seemed to have overestimated herself.
Amelie quickly said, “Braden, listen. Ms. Wilson is trying to kill me. You must save me‘
Everyone thought that Braden, as the father of the baby in Amelie’s belly, would protect Amelie to
the end.
However, Braden was expressionless and he said calmly, “In that case, you should cooperate with
them and go to the police station.”
Shirley was stunned.
She didn’t expect Braden to be willing to let Amelie suffer
If she remembered correctly, he had been very protective of Amelte before Amelie was like any
appie in his eyes, and he freavored her very much. Shirley wondered, could it be that he’s tires ot her so
quickly?
Tsk, tsk tsk. Men are B–kle creatures
Shirley couldn t help but feel g’ad that she had diyoped hum
The two police officers saw that Braden had already expressed his opinion, so they naturally didn’t need
to be polite to Amelie anymore. They directly handcuffed her.
“Let go of me. Don’t touch me!”
Amelie was very emotional. She cried and begged Braden, “Braden, I’m really innocent. Trust me!
“Ask them to let me go. The baby will be afraid. You can ignore me, but think of the child!”
Braden frowned, his cold face expressionless. “Take her away!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Stewart. We will just take dictations. We won’t make things difficult for Ms.
Nelson.”
After the two police officers finished speaking, they escorted Amelie into the police car.
The car drove far away and they could still hear Amelie’s wails.
Shirley looked at the police car that gradually disappeared from her sight and let out a long sigh.
She never expected that things would turn out this way.
She just wanted to take back her things. She didn’t intend to send Amelie to the police station.
Shirley thought, Amelie is pregnant. If something happened to her, wouldn’t I take the blame?
“Braden, are you okay? Can’t you see that I’m just putting on a show? Why did you really let the police
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtake her away?”
Shirley held her forehead, looking troubled. She said seriously, “Even if you really have a crush on me,
you don’t have to sacrifice so much. Amelie is pregnant with your child after all. If something happens,
don’t come to me or blame me.”
Braden was speechless.
Why hadn’t he noticed before that this woman was so thick–skinned and so mischievous?
In his impression, Shirley was like a little white flower that was about to bloom. When she looked at him,
she would blush. She always looked shy, humble, and delicate.
Now, she was full of confidence, like a proud queen. She had changed into someone he could not
control at all.
For some reason, he thought of a sentence, a person will become humble after falling in love
Braden wondered, does she really no longer love me anymore?
Is it because of this that she feels free to be herself?
As he thought about this, Braden suddenly felt a little stuffy and uncomfortabie
Shirley looked around and couldn’t help but complain, “I couldn’t find my thing and you took the person
who knew about it away. Wouldn’t it be more difficult to find it?”
Braden collected his thoughts and asked coldly, “What do you want to find?”
“I am looking for my suitcase. There is something very important to me in the suitcase.”
Shirley sighed and decided to look for it herself.
The villa had a space of thousands of square feet. It was not easy to find a small suitcase.
Braden crossed his arms and looked at Shirley, who was busy searching without saying a word. He
shook his head.
He thought, what a stubborn woman! What is so important in the suitcase? Is it worth her so much effort?
Braden really couldn’t bear to see her searching blindly like an aimless fly, so he gathered all the staff in
the villa and asked them to help her.
The four–story villa and the surrounding garden were searched thoroughly, but they still didn’t
find it.
“Could it be that the suitcase has been thrown to other places outside the villa by Amelie?”
Shirley rubbed her chin, thinking about this possibility.
Suddenly, a young servant gasped, “I found it. I found the suitcase. It’s just… The place is a bit scary!”
