“Keep an eye on this conman and call the police. They'll handle things from here."

Haley was about to confess that it was someone from the Jenkins family who instigated him to frame Maria. That was the real reason why he reported Maria for theft seemingly out of nowhere.

Unfortunately, from the moment he was seized by those men, there was no chance for him to speak.

"You two, take this man away immediately. His mere presence is offensive," Reuben ordered the two men briskly.

"Yes, sir!"

The two men were cultivators of the ancient martial arts, so it wasn't difficult for them to drag Haley away.

Before the crowd could react, Haley was dragged out of sight.

“So... Is that all you needed from me?"

On the other end of the line, Reece was a bit confused with what was going on.

“Reece, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I have something else to do now, so let's catch up another time," Maria said expressionlessly.

Mrs. Jenkins, sitting in the center of the room, smiled at Maria when the latter ended the phone call.

Mrs. Jenkins adjusted her tone and said kindly, “Maria, fortunately, it was just a false accusation. You are indeed a good child of the Jenkins family. I knew you were innocent."

She knew Maria was innocent? What a hypocrite!

This was what most of the people present, including Canaan, thought. Mrs. Jenkins' attitude to Maria changed in the blink of an eye.

Just now, she looked like she was going to eat Maria alive, but now, she spoke highly of the girl.

“Humph!

Maria unabashedly sneered at this old woman.

Mrs. Jenkins' expression darkened at Maria‘s impertinence.

Before she could say anything, Barbara stole the spotlight.

“Maria, Mrs. Jenkins just proved your innocence and sent the bad guy to jail. Shouldn't you be thankful?"

Hearing this, Canaan rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Bravo!

Barbara really was Mrs. Jenkins' dearest granddaughter!

How could anyone in this world be shameless enough to distort right from wrong Like this?
