Chapter 239 Chapter 239 A Devious Plot The living room had clearly been ransacked. All the drawers were pulled out. Whoever broke in must have been in a hurry that they had no tto put things back. Vases and bolsters strewn across the floor.

I stumbled into the bedroom, where I found all the drawers being forcefully opened. My belongings were all over the place.

The handover-related documents and my patent certificates were nowhere to be found.

I felt my head spinning. Jill quickly heldwhen she saw I was about to pass out.

She advised, "Hey, stop searching. We should stay away from the crscene. Don't worry. Let's call the police for now." She helpedonto the bed while calling the police. "Hi, is this the police? There was a break-in. Here's the address..." Leonard and Amelia arrived almost at the stas the police. He retreated in guilt when he sawand Jill at home, but he never let go of Amelia's hand.

He faced the police with indifference. "Sir, I think we have a misunderstanding here. This is my home. I'm the owner." The property manager entered the place with the police and quickly verified Leonard's identity.

Jill glared at him and raised her hand. "Sir, I'm the one who called the police. My friend is the homeowner too. She's the wife.

"We chto the mess. Even the security cameras were damaged. We suspect it was a break-in. My friend's important documents and patent certificates were stolen. The projects in question are billion-dollar projects!" While speaking, Jill seethed at Leonard. She highlighted the details in hope that the police would take the case seriously. I believed they would not brush off such a major case.

Anyone in the know surely understood the motive behind the break-in. Leonard was dead set on defending his first love.

"Sir, it's a misunderstanding. I'll explain everything to the ladies. Sorry for the trouble.

"I forgot the passcode, and I acted rashly because the company has run into sproblems.

"Amelia here is my secretary. She cwith a group to look for what I needed, and it was a great help to me." Leonard turned toand dropped shints. He said to the police, "I didn't communicate well with my wife. The team failed to clean up the mess after they left. That's it." He shouldered all the bland painted Amelia as an innocent secretary who was taking orders. Despite my anger, I had no way of proving that I lost the important documents.

In the end, the police made squick notes and toldto report my losses. But I had no idea how to even describe my loss and estimate the magnitude of it.

Amelia was close to tears after the police left. Leonard, feeling sorry, pulled her into a hug. It's fine now. That was no big deal. You must have been scared." "No. I'm sorry for acting rashly," she said between sobs while shootinga smug look

I coldly glanced at Amelia before turning to Leonard. "You orderedn Amelia to steal the handover documents from my home, didn't you?

Leonard paused. Amelia quickly tugged at his sleeve, an action I found repulsive. I used to do them sto Legnard, thinking it was a sweet and romantic gesture. In the end, I realized I was a joke-useless and reliant on my CEO husband. I stared at Leonard without any expression. "Speak." "You know very well whoever is in charge will be put in jail when her identity is exposed.

That's why you wantto serve the sentence on Amelia's behalf. Is that right? Wow, Leonard Harmon, you're a slick one!"
