Chapter 987

Chapter 987:

These people moved through the living room and other areas.

The surveillance footage only covered the main living room, but when the group emerged from other rooms, they were seen carrying Lila’s personal belongings, with some items requiring two people to lift. What was Evita doing?

Lila quickly fast-forwarded through the footage, and by the end, she saw them talking to Evita about the valuation, mentioning that it wasn’t enough.

Then, Evita gestured toward her favorite single sofa in the living room, directing two men to inspect it.

One woman took out her phone, tapped a few buttons, and said, “The money’s been transferred. We’ll take the items.”

If Lila couldn’t figure out what was going on now, she’d have to be blind. But could anything possibly be more shocking or unbelievable than this?

She had opened her home to Evita, and in return, Evita had stripped it bare, selling everything for cash!

Lila was even more enraged by what unfolded next.

Through the video call, she overheard the police searching Rosalyn’s belongings and uncovering evidence.

“Mrs. Gordon, could you explain why this ring and these blank checks are in your possession?”

An officer held up the items, his tone firm. Rosalyn’s eyes flickered with uncertainty as she took in the sight of what the police had found.

Anything prompting such direct questioning from the investigation team was unlikely to be trivial.

But these items were things her daughter had only brought over that day.

Rosalyn’s heart sank—she didn’t want her daughter entangled in this dangerous situation.

“I must have accidentally taken these when I moved,” Rosalyn said, trying to maintain her composure. “I don’t recall much about them. Since they’re valuable, I just kept them here. Officer, is there a problem?”

The officer remained skeptical of her explanation. At that moment, Evita entered the hospital ward.

Her gaze immediately fell on the ring and the blank checks in the officer’s hand.

Ignoring Rosalyn’s subtle warning glance, Evita blurted, “Officer, why are you holding my mom’s ring? It’s her favorite!”

With that single statement, the atmosphere in the ward shifted dramatically.

The officer’s gaze sharpened, his expression growing stern as he turned to Rosalyn.
