Willow planned to go to the jewelry store and ask them about the jade pendant. Maybe they could trace the owner.

Willow woke up and dressed up at 8 AM the next morning.

Although the villa was new, it was furnished. Some of their old furniture was there, still playing their role. Willow still had her old bed and quilt, but her room was new and cozy now.

She felt familiar and odd at the same time.

Overall, she had a good night's sleep.

Last night, Lara slept in one bed with Tristan and Julian, and Helen slept in the other room with Hailey and Lilith.

There were only two rooms in the old house. Whenever Willow and the kids came home, Lara and Helen had to sleep in one room and Willow would have to cram with the kids. They could barely move in the bed.

Everyone could sleep better as there were more rooms now.

It was so comfortable that Lara, Helen, and the kids weren't awake yet.

Willow went to their rooms and saw that they were still sleeping soundly. She smiled and closed the door gently.

She took the jade pendant and was ready to go to the jewelry store in the city. She wanted to find out about the owner.

She bumped into two strong men when she stepped out of the gate.

The men were police officers.

Willow was confused. She blinked and asked, "Good morning. May I know who you are looking for?"

"I believe that Willow lives here," one of the police asked.

Willow nodded.

"We're looking for Willow," another police officer said.

Willow was puzzled. "I'm Willow. What do you guys want with me?"

The men looked at each other and took out their IDs for Willow to see. "We're from Nason Town, someone reported you for stealing, come with us.

"Stealing? Are you kidding me?" Willow's eyes widened in shock. The police saw the jade pendant in Willow's hand. "Give it to me."

Willow cooperated and gave him the jade pendant.

The policeman took it and said, "This is the jade pendant you stole."

Willow was caught red-handed. Another police officer cuffed Willow's hands and moved her into the police

Willow knew she was being accused and she panicked.

The police car took her away.

The villagers who got up early saw the scene and they were surprised.

"No wonder Willow could own a villa. Turns out she got rich so quickly by stealing."

"She also lied that it was a trial residence built by the developer for their family." "What a liar."

Florence watched the police take Willow away and gossip with the others. Willow was taken to the police station to give a statement.

She tried her best to explain, "I didn't steal this jade pendant. I bought it for three thousand dollars. I still

have the transfer record still

you guys

can take a look."

Willow showed the police the transfer record to Florence.

The policeman said, "This jade pendant had a market price of twelve thousand dollars. It's impossible to buy it for three thousand dollars. Besides, every piece of jade has its certificate. Where's yours?"
