Chapter 142 What Exactly Is Milly’s Status?
“Heh, does she think this place is a palace? Even the police need to show a search warrant.”
“Yeah, like there’s anything valuable in there.”
“She kept blocking us from going in. First, she insists on calling the police, and now that they’re here, she’s making things difficult. I bet there’s something shady going on.”
“Shh… keep it down. She might hear you.
“So what if she does? If she did something, she should own up to it. Stephanie is the Burnetts‘ daughter. She’s seen plenty of valuable things and never made such a fuss.”
Milly rolled her eyes and coldly interrupted their whispering, “The law requires a search warrant to be shown before conducting a search.
“Right, Officer?”
She then turned to the police, her smile bright and radiant.
The two young officers, who were fairly new to the job, found themselves stunned by her beauty, their faces turning bright red.
“Yes, you’re absolutely right. Police need a search warrant, which must be issued by an official from the county–level public security bureau or higher.”
Hearing this, Stephanie frowned.
Did it really have to be this complicated?
Following the proper procedure to get a search warrant would take time, and who knew how long that might be?
They had already alerted Milly.
If they didn’t search now, she would definitely prepare, and they would find nothing incriminating later.
“Officer, this is an urgent situation, and the item I lost is extremely valuable. Can’t we make an exception and search now?” Stephanie asked, unwilling to give up.
“Besides, we’re just looking for something, not conducting a formal search.”
“This… The officer frowned.
According to regulations, in urgent situations, a search can be conducted without a warrant to gather criminal evidence.
Milly raised an eyebrow, reluctantly admitting that Stephanie had a bit of a brain, finding a loophole in the
law.
At this point, Stephanie who desperate to find the stolen item in Milly’s room, looked at her with a pitiful expression. “Milly, I’m really anxious. Please just let us take a quick look. It won’t take much of your time.”

As he spoke, he was already forcing his way inside.
Seeing this, Joy was about to push them out in anger, but Milly stopped her and shook her head.
“Milly, are you really going to let them in?” Joy was furious. “They’re clearly bullying you.”
Milly calmly watched the crowd already pouring into the room, her face expressionless. “It’s fine. Just
watch.”
Stephanie had gone to great lengths, rallying everyone and making such a big scene, all to make sure she could find something incriminating. Even if Milly refused to let them in, Stephanie wouldn’t have given up.
Milly had anticipated this outcome. If Stephanie had given up, it would have been a miracle.
Milly called the police partly to scare Stephanie and partly to have the police as witnesses. That way, even if Stephanie tried to twist the truth later, it wouldn’t work. In the face of absolute justice, no amount of human deceit could prevail.
The crowd began wandering around Milly’s lounge, looking around as if they were touring a museum.
On the other hand. Stephanie pretended to search a few obvious places before finally heading straight for a backpack in the corner. With apparent certainty, she unzipped the backpack…
Half a minúte later, her face paled. She couldn’t believe it. She dumped the contents of the backpack onto
the floor.
How could it be empty?
Michelle said she had already placed it in this backpack.
Joy saw Stephanie messing up the items and angrily grabbed the backpack back. “What are you doing? We let you in to search, and now you’re making a mess of our stuff! Don’t push it too far.”
Stephanie bit her lip, her breath quickening. “Impossible, it should be…”
Thankfully, she stopped herself from finishing the sentence.
Milly calmly stepped forward, her tone mocking as she looked at Stephanie’s panicked face. “Oh? Should be what? Why don’t you finish your sentence?”
Stephanie pursed her lips and looked up at Milly, who was leaning lazily against the doorframe with her arms crossed. For some reason, she felt like Milly knew something.
Could Michelle have told Milly about the plant
No, that couldn’t be
Milly had stolen Michelle’s role. Michelle hated her, so there was no way she’d help her.
“Ah! Oh my god, look at this…”
At that moment, a gasp interrupted Stephanie’s thoughts.
Hearing the commotion, she instinctively thought they had found the bracelet and her face lir un with inv.

Finally, she had Milly cornered.
She pushed through the crowd, ready to gloat, but was stunned by what she saw.
Even the seasoned entertainment industry professionals around her couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Two large suitcases filled with jewellery and luxury items, gleaming so brightly they almost blinded
everyone.
The shock left everyone standing there dumbfounded for a moment.
When they finally snapped out of it, they started talking.
“Are these real jewels? These are so extravagant.”
“They must be real. Fakes don’t shine like this…”
“Wow, using suitcases to store jewellery without even setting a password. How loaded is Milly?”
“We were just marvelling at how expensive Stephanie’s bracelet was, but now Milly’s collection makes it look like nothing.”
Stephanie stood in the middle of the crowd, hearing their praises and feeling her face burn with embarrassment like she had been publicly humiliated.
How did Milly, that witch, get so many jewels?
Even Milly was shocked by the discovery of the precious jewellery in her own suitcases, having had no idea they were there.
