The Amazing son in law Chapter 2015

In response to the police officer’s inquiry, Old Lady Wilson nodded firmly and gritted her teeth, “Yes, it’s two hundred!”

The constable could hardly believe his ears at that moment.

“A woman residing in one of Thompson First’s prestigious villas is calling the police over two hundred dollars? Something doesn’t add up…”

Reflecting on this, he wondered, “Could it be that wealthy individuals perceive money differently, equating two million to just two hundred? At the last class reunion, a classmate who had become quite rich did something similar when discussing his luxury car; he claimed it was just over five hundred when it was clearly a Rolls Royce worth more than five million. Is this a common trait among the affluent?”

However, as he pondered further, he found himself puzzled. “This Lady is worth over a hundred million. Even if she lost two million, would she really be this distressed?”

He then looked at Lady Wilson again and asked, “Excuse me, ma’am, to clarify, you’re saying your daughter-in-law, Hannah, took two hundred from you. This two hundred refers to two million, correct?”

“No,” Lady Wilson insisted. “It’s two hundred, cash—just two hundred!”

“Huh?!” The jaws of several police officers dropped in disbelief.

The officer in charge stammered, “Ma’am, your eldest daughter-in-law took two hundred dollars from you, and you’re calling the police to arrest her for that?”

Lady Wilson’s eyebrows shot up in disbelief. “What? No! She stole my hard-earned money, and I can’t call the police?”

The lead officer replied awkwardly, “Well, technically, yes, but I must inform you about a basic legal principle. According to our country’s laws, theft is defined by the amount involved. To be considered theft, the amount must reach a certain threshold.” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ FіndNovel.net

He continued to explain, “This threshold for what is categorized as a large amount lies between one thousand and three thousand dollars. If it doesn’t meet this standard, we can’t pursue criminal charges.”

Lady Wilson frowned in frustration. “What on earth! She’s stealing my hard-earned money! Do you realize I worked all day yesterday to earn a hundred dollars? I got slapped in the face and someone else paid me another hundred! This two hundred is meant for our family’s dumplings on New Year’s Eve!”

The police officer was taken aback, thinking, “Is this Lady serious? She lives in a lavish house and is calling the police over $200? And this $200 is from a part-time job and a slap? No ordinary person would be this desperate, especially not someone in her position. It’s baffling!”

Despite his confusion, he patiently explained, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but the law explicitly states that if the amount stolen is just two hundred dollars, we can’t file a case. We can only document it for you. If later on, there are more developments that meet the filing criteria, we can assist you in recovering your losses.”

Lady Wilson quickly replied, “Oh, wait! I must have remembered incorrectly! She didn’t steal two hundred from me; she actually stole two thousand!”

The officer replied awkwardly, “The amount she allegedly stole will determine how we proceed. Even if you now claim it’s two thousand, if we file a case and later discover you were lying, you could be held legally responsible.”

He added, “And just to clarify, even if it reaches two thousand dollars, it would result in control, not detention. Do you understand what that means? Control involves limitations on personal freedom, like community service, and you may be required to stay within Aurous Hill or your villa’s street.”

“What?!” Lady Wilson exclaimed incredulously. “You’re far too lenient! This is theft!”

The officer sighed, feeling helpless. “Listen, ma’am, theft is indeed a crime, but whether it warrants pursuit is another matter. If a student reported that their classmate stole an eraser worth a dollar, would we really go out and arrest someone? It just wouldn’t make sense.”
