Chapter 96 He Struck My Wife
The sudden arrival of the police took Rose completely by surprise. The police had surrounded the woman. and her group.
The head officer, Connie Lenzier, approached Rose and asked, âMr. Finch, are you okay?â
Jonathanâs face darkened. If he hadnât acted quickly, Rose would have been hurt.
He glanced at the bodyguard he had kicked away and said, âHe struck my wife.â
Connieâs forehead was covered in sweat. An hour ago, they received a report of a fight and brawl at Aquastead Hotel.
Initially, they didnât pay much attention to it, but someone noticed that the person reporting the incident was referred to as âMr. Finchâ. Nobody was ignorant of this nameâhe was the head of Finch Group.
Connie didnât waste any time and personally led his team to the scene. He glanced at the person writhing on the floor. This person was the one who had been beaten up.
âMr. Finchâ¦â
âI acted in selfâdefense.â
Jonathan didnât allow him any room to speak. If it werenât for the concern of revealing his identity, he wouldnât have involved the police. Finley was no match for them.
Jonathan tightened his grip on Roseâs head with his left hand. Then, he huddled her shoulder tightly, glancing at the woman and her bodyguards.
âThey attempted a robbery. Will you handle it?â he asked Connie.
âWe will handle it, of course,â Connie responded.
âAs long as a criminal incident occurs within Aquastead, we will take strict measures to protect the lives and property of our citizens.â
He didnât dare to be negligent. Although Jonathan was a business tycoon, the influence of the Finches was intricate and complex.
âVery well, then,â Jonathan said, tossing a video recording to him.
The video captured the moment when the woman slapped the appraisal expert and made her demands. It also showed the bodyguardâs fist approaching Rose.
Unfortunately, it didnât capture the scene of Jonathan kicking the bodyguard away. The woman panicked upon hearing the audio.
âSir, itâs not like that. They tried to deceive me with fake jewelry. I spent a lot of money on these pieces, and Iâm just asking for compensation according to the agreement. Is that illegal?â
She hastily pulled out a customized contract, which made Jonathan sneer. Halney didnât wait for Jonathan to speak and immediately stepped forward.
âThese are not fake jewelry, Sir, Iâm Halney Yogesh, and Iâve appraised all these pieces. Based on my professional experience, I guarantee that these jewelry items are genuine.â

Even people outside the industry had heard of Halneyâs name. He was known a Appraiserâ,
the âGoldenâEyed
âNot only me, but anyone with a discerning eye in this field can confirm that these jewels are authentic,â he declared and glanced at the appraisal expert brought by the woman.
The other expertâs heart trembled as he quickly said, âYes, Iâve examined these jewels as well, and they are all real.â
âSo, it seems that someone is distorting the truth and trying to extort money,â Connie stated with a stern expression.
After taking another glance at the video, he added, âFurthermore, there is a suspicion of violent robbery. Weâll take everyone back to the station for further investigation of the specific details.â
With a single glance, he signaled his officers. They immediately began handcuffing the bodyguards and the woman. She was at a loss for words, wondering how this could be happening.
âItâs not like that. Please listen to meâ¦â
She wanted to explain, but Connie waved his hand and said, âTake them away.â
He didnât give her a chance. As the police officers were leaving the meeting room, Jonathan suddenly remembered something.
Taking a glance at Rose, he said, âWait one more person is missing.â
Su Ranâs eyes flashed with understanding. She knew exactly who he meant. It was Jamie.
