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, “Mr. Finch, are you okay?”
Jonathan’s face darkened. If he hadn’t acted quickly, Rose would have been hurt.
He glanced at the bodyguard he had kicked away and said, “He struck my wife.”
Connie’s forehead was covered in sweat. An hour ago, they received a report of a fight and brawl at Aquastead Hotel.
Initially, they didn’t pay much attention to it, but someone noticed that the person reporting the incident was referred to as “Mr. Finch“. Nobody was ignorant of this name–he was the head of Finch Group.
Connie didn’t 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.
“Mr. Finch…”
“I acted in self–defense.”
Jonathan didn’t allow him any room to speak. If it weren’t for the concern of revealing his identity, he wouldn’t have involved the police. Finley was no match for them.
Jonathan tightened his grip on Rose’s head with his left hand. Then, he huddled her shoulder tightly, glancing at the woman and her bodyguards.
“They attempted a robbery. Will you handle it?” he asked Connie.
“We will handle it, of course,” Connie responded.
“As long as a criminal incident occurs within Aquastead, we will take strict measures to protect the lives and property of our citizens.”
He didn’t dare to be negligent. Although Jonathan was a business tycoon, the influence of the Finches was intricate and complex.
“Very well, then,” 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 bodyguard’s fist approaching Rose.
Unfortunately, it didn’t capture the scene of Jonathan kicking the bodyguard away. The woman panicked upon hearing the audio.
“Sir, it’s not like that. They tried to deceive me with fake jewelry. I spent a lot of money on these pieces, and I’m just asking for compensation according to the agreement. Is that illegal?”
She hastily pulled out a customized contract, which made Jonathan sneer. Halney didn’t wait for Jonathan to speak and immediately stepped forward.
‘These are not fake jewelry, Sir, I’m Halney Yogesh, and I’ve appraised all these pieces. Based on my professional experience, I guarantee that these jewelry items are genuine.”

Even people outside the industry had heard of Halney’s name. He was known a Appraiser“,
the “Golden–Eyed
“Not only me, but anyone with a discerning eye in this field can confirm that these jewels are authentic,” he declared and glanced at the appraisal expert brought by the woman.
The other expert’s heart trembled as he quickly said, “Yes, I’ve examined these jewels as well, and they are all real.”
“So, it seems that someone is distorting the truth and trying to extort money,” Connie stated with a stern expression.
After taking another glance at the video, he added, “Furthermore, there is a suspicion of violent robbery. We’ll take everyone back to the station for further investigation of the specific details.”
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.
“It’s not like that. Please listen to me…”
She wanted to explain, but Connie waved his hand and said, ‘Take them away.”
He didn’t give her a chance. As the police officers were leaving the meeting room, Jonathan suddenly remembered something.
Taking a glance at Rose, he said, “Wait one more person is missing.”
Su Ran’s eyes flashed with understanding. She knew exactly who he meant. It was Jamie.
