CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1124: A Blessing in Disguise

”This scarf was taken off the thief’s grandson, this lipstick was retrieved from the little miss next door, a neighbor of the thief, and the one with diamonds was found in the thief’s daughter-in-law’s room. When we got there, all the women in their family had put on lipstick.”

The police officer sighed, ”After stealing the stuff, they even called back family members who were working away from home, saying they would get work at a hotel, potentially to snatch some more valuables.”

A comrade at his side said with equal helplessness, ”Those who acted quickly have already taken the items to the second-hand market in the city district. The jewelry set was sent to a gold shop in the city district last evening. Unfortunately, the shop boss had no idea what it was worth and offered the thief only 200 bucks for it. The thief actually sold it. If we had arrived any later, that jewelry set would likely have been dismantled and melted down for the gold.”

After stealing antique jewelry worth tens of millions, in the end, they only sold it for 200 bucks. Before they even had the chance to spend the money, they were caught and faced sentencing.

Such a high-value item, worth tens of millions—this was really a case of severe circumstances. Even having enough money for a lawyer wouldn’t save that thief.

After retrieving her lost items, Jane Sampson’s mood was somber. She followed Coco Edwards, who was even more downcast than she was, back to the hotel.

The underwear that Coco had stolen was also found being worn by someone. The police later had to order the person to strip it off right there, and with the smell of sweat lingering, Coco threw it away.

Back at the hotel, Jane Sampson took a photo of the lipstick and sent it to James Black.

The lipstick was found, but it looked like this.—James Black’s wife.

[Upset][Upset][Upset]—James Black’s wife.

James didn’t reply on WhatsAPP but instead made a video call directly to Jane Sampson.

As soon as Jane answered, James said straight away, ”It’s been used by someone; just throw it away.”

Jane, twirling the remnants of the lipstick in her hand, turned to look at the trash can next to her, shook her head, and said, ”I can’t bear to do it.”

Jane, sitting cross-legged, thought for a moment and then said, ”I’ll scrape out the rest of the lipstick, send the lipstick case back to the company, and ask them to disinfect it and make a new lipstick core. After all, this lipstick comes with a lifetime free replacement of the core, right?”

James raised his eyebrows, hummed in agreement, and said, ”That works too.”

With the issue resolved, Jane’s mood became suddenly uplifted. She grinned at James through the lens, showing her small white teeth in self-satisfied delight, ”Does this count as a blessing in disguise? It seems like I’ve gained another lipstick from you.”

”As long as you’re happy.” James preferred to see her laughing carefreely, as she was doing now, as though nothing could truly get her down.

She was very skilled at adjusting her mood.

No matter how big the problem, she always managed to regulate it herself, not letting her emotions affect others.

Since the majority of the film crew had to visit the police station this morning, James Chip had suddenly announced no filming for the morning. Jane Sampson and Coco Edwards stayed in their respective rooms, with Coco sleeping in, and Jane taking the rare opportunity to log into the game.

When she logged in, she saw people in her small group discussing the end of that year.

Jane browsed through everyone’s chat history and was pleasantly surprised for a moment.
