Chapter 47 If You Apologize, You Won’t End up in Jail
Chloe’s face turned pale as she clenched her fists, knowing that Ava must be behind all of this.
If she followed the police back to the station today, her reputation in the company would be ruined. However, she had no choice but to go.
Chloe took a deep breath and said, “I’ll go, but I want to make it clear that if the investigation proves that I’m innocent and have nothing to do with the case, Jake must apologize to me.”
The police could not control these matters and replied, “Once the results of the investigation come out, you can negotiate privately.”

At the police station, Ava sat in front of Chloe and said in a low voice, “Why do insist on working at a big company? Now, you’re back to square one. No big company will hire a criminal.”
Chloe smirked and retorted without hesitation, “I got into a big company solely based on my abilities. And what about you? Apart from framing others, what skills do you possess? You aspire to work in a big company but evidently lack the ability to secure a position in one.”
Ava dropped out of high school due to falling in love at an early age, and even with the family’s help, she barely made it to a third-rate university. Otherwise, maybe she would have managed to seduce that scumbag Jake during his college years.
The things Chloe said struck Ava’s nerves, but instead of getting angry, she boasted, You better think about how to get out of here. No matter what I did, I won’t have to spend my remaining years in prison!”
As soon as she had finished speaking, Jake and the officer walked in.
Ava pretended to fall to the ground and cried out in despair, “Why did you push me, Coco?”
Fed up with Ava’s antics, Chloe exclaimed in anger, “No one pushed you, so stop playing the victim! Show some dignity, will you?!”
Jake helped Ava up and then looked at Chloe in disgust. “You’re not fooling anyone by playing innocent. My advice to you is to hand over the bracelets right now. I might be

willing to overlook our past relationship, but if you continue to exploit us and treat everyone like fools, I’ll make sure you face legal consequences.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Are you nuts? I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m innocent and have nothing to fear. Why should I be afraid?” Chloe retorted.
If she had wanted those bracelets so badly, she would have taken them long ago.
“Quiet!” the police officer shouted. After that, he presented a pair of bracelets to Chloe. “Do you recognize these?”
-She inspected the bracelets that looked almost identical to Jake’s family heirloom.
Although they appeared no different on the surface, she could tell by touching them that they were not the same ones.
“I haven’t seen these bracelets,” Chloe said, quickly explaining to the police, “This pair isn’t the one I returned to them!”
The police officer frowned and said, “We know that these bracelets are not Mr. Jake’s family heirloom. Can you provide evidence to prove that you’re not involved with these bracelets?”
“I don’t have them. I haven’t been in possession of these bracelets recently, so how could I provide any evidence?” Chloe said.
“You don’t, but I do.” Jake sneered as a woman walked in.
The woman could not look Chloe in the eye as she spoke, “Ms. Chloe, do you remember buying these bracelets from my store a few days ago?”
Chloe’s brain froze for a moment, and she gritted her teeth, realizing she had fallen into their trap. But she had not done anything wrong. Ava had taken everything from her. Her father, her boyfriend… Why did she still have to go to such lengths to frame her?
She looked at the woman and asked, “If I went to your store, do you have the receipt or surveillance footage?”
“You paid with cash, and the surveillance camera in our store isn’t working,” the woman replied.
Ava approached Chloe and spoke timidly, “Jake is just very angry right now. Apologize and let me handle the rest. I assure you that you won’t end up in jail.”
