Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 20 I'll Stay Here

Chapter 20 I'll Stay Here

"It's just an investment, as long as we don't marry Alisa to Mr. Lloyd, there are plenty of ways to attract investments," Brenna said, her eyes filled with calculations.

She forced Gianna to marry Mr. Finley not only for the investment from the Finley family but also to protect Alisa.

Alisa was carefully cultivated by Brenna with a substantial investment of manpower and financial resources, and has become a great female talent renowned in Rheinsville City.

In the future, Alisa's benefits for the Geller family will be considerable. Brenna would never allow Alisa to marry Mr. Finley no matter what.

Although Damian dotes on Lloyd, the young man is disabled. He also has three uncles, three elder brothers, many cousins, and other family members. When the family property is divided in the future, what can a disabled person like him get?

Therefore, even if the two families are united through marriage, the benefits that the Finley family can bring to the Geller family are limited, while Alisa is a stable investment.

Brenna was afraid that the engagement with the Finley family might have any mishap, so she forced Gianna to engage with Lloyd.

Gianna's theft was a disgrace for the prominent families like them, and the Finley family naturally wouldn't want her anymore. The engagement will be cancelled accordingly, saving them from the trouble of having her coming back to cause distress.

That's why Brenna agreed with Alisa's plan.

Brenna pondered for a moment and said to Alisa, "Go find the media and expose Gianna's theft."

Alisa was taken aback, "But this will have a big impact on our family."

What would people think of the Geller family when they found out that their young miss was a thief?

This would be harmful to everyone involved.

"No worries. Her mother eloped with someone else and took her away. The Geller family is the victim," Brenna said, sitting in her expensive custom chair, her aged and murky eyes showing a hint of coldness.

Alisa was startled, then smiled, "I see, grandma."

Criminal Police Unit of Rheinsville City.

Gianna was leaning on the interrogation chair, with her slender legs crossed. On the table in front of her was a mobile phone that law enforcement officers tried to force on her but was rejected.

The interrogation room was quiet, but the constant ringing of the phone did not stop for a moment. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The two law enforcement officers who brought her here were sweating profusely and extremely nervous.

Seeing that she still didn't answer the phone, one of them kindly suggested, "Ms. Geller, the phone has been ringing for so long. Why don't you answer it?"

Gianna lifted her eyes slightly, revealing a faint smile on her crimson lips. "Sorry, I'm a law-abiding citizen and I remember what the police officer said. Hand over the phone and cooperate for the investigation."

The law enforcement officer, "..."

He felt like crying.

Normally, there was nothing wrong with what he had done.

Someone reported that the girl had stolen something worth 850 thousand dollars, so they brought her back for interrogation and confiscated her mobile phone, which was well within the normal range of procedures. They weren't making things difficult for her.

But who would have known that as soon as they brought her back to the Criminal Police Unit, the telephone in the captain's office started ringing.

Captain Dillan wasn't there. Therefore, he answered it.

The result - scared them to death!

They received numerous calls, all from higher-ups, and all asking if they had caught someone named Gianna Geller.

After telling the higher-ups the truth, he was scolded severely and asked to release her.

But when he tried to let her go, she refused to leave.

Her butt was like nailed to the chair, and several people couldn't lift her up.

Helplessly, he had to call his superior and explain the situation.

His superior asked to speak to the girl on the phone, but she stubbornly refused to answer.

The law enforcement officers smiled awkwardly. "Um... we have investigated and found out that you did not steal Ms. Harper's mother's bracelet. You can go back now. We are all busy here, and it's not good for you to stay here."

"I think it's pretty nice here, quiet," Gianna leaned back in the chair, unimpressed. "I did steal Ms. Harper's mother's bracelet. Can you please check again? What if there is missing evidence?

The law enforcement officers, "..."

Who'd like to stay in the interrogation room and refuse to leave?

If she doesn't leave, they can't explain to the higher-ups.

Hospital.

Lloyd accompanied Taryn for dinner, and Murray hurriedly walked in.

After glancing at Erica and Taryn, he whispered to Lloyd, "Ms. Geller has been arrested."

Lloyd suddenly looked up, his deep eyes narrowing. "What happened?

"Half an hour ago, the media reported that Ms. Geller was taken away by the Criminal Police Unit for stealing a bracelet worth 850 thousand dollars..." Murray briefed Lloyd on the investigation process.

Lloyd looked sinister, emitting a cold aura all over his body. He pushed his wheelchair and headed out. "Let's go to the Criminal Police Unit."

The Harper family, Fallingwater Community.

Alisa held the water poured over by Amari and took a sip. Her eyes dimmed as she asked, "Amari, did Gianna really steal your mother's bracelet?"

"My mom's bracelet wasn't even lost. I did it on purpose," Amari laughed.

"What...why did you do that?" Alisa looked incredulous.

"Isn't it for you?" Amari said, "I've noticed that you've been feeling down lately. Is it because of this Gianna who came back from the countryside?"

Alisa pursed her lips and remained silent.

"I knew she was bullying you, so I wanted to teach her a lesson."

Alisa held Amari's hand, with tears in her eyes. "Amari, I am very touched that you would do this for me. But I still want to ask for mercy for Gianna. Can you ask your brother to release her? After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Geller family, and the Geller family has been kind to me."

"You are just too kind," Amari said indignantly. "People like her need to be taught a lesson. She thinks she can ride on your back just because she is the eldest daughter of the Geller family."

Pausing for a moment, Amari said, "But don't worry, originally there was no evidence. I'll tell my brother in a few days that the bracelet has been found, and she will be released."

Deep in the heart, Alisa felt disappointed.

She had wanted Gianna to stay in prison forever.

But it's okay. At least with this disturbance, the engagement between the Finley family and the Geller family would be ruined.

Dillan, who was handling things in the study room, received a phone call. He glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone respectfully, "Danny."

"Do you have a brain problem?"

As soon as the phone was answered, a furious voice came from the other end.

Dillan was stunned and asked, "What's wrong, Danny? Why are you so angry?"

"How dare you ask me what's wrong?" yelled Danny. "Is this how you handle cases? You arrested someone without evidence? Are you stupid?"

"Come and solve this matter immediately, or else you can pack up and leave immediately!" Danny shouted angrily before hanging up the phone.
