Chapter 36 It''s Not Your Call


    Chapter 36 It''s Not Your Call


    As a police officer, Jackson could take this case or leave it. So, for a while, he was a little hesitant.


    He knew very well that the Sterling family was a rich and powerful family. He didn''t know what the


    girl''s rtionship with the Sterling family was, but they didn''t look like a friendly rtionship. If he


    offended the Sterling family and Chief Rechardson for a person he didn''t know at all, it was not


    worth it!


    Seeing that Officer Jackson had the intention of trying to stay out of it, Rejo bit her lip then said,


    "I''m being framed, and as a police officer, you don''t even look it up?"


    "Youngdy, you can take your case to court!" Jackson replied. He thought it would be better to


    leave it and push it to somebody else. He did not want to be implicated.


    Rejo pursed her lips and looked at Jackson with disappointment. She knew he was shirking his


    responsibility and she was very frustrated. She stood in front of Jackson with her head down,


    feeling very powerless. Maybe no one really dared to offend the Sterling family. This police was


    stilling having a job now. If this officer offended the Sterling family and lost her job because of her,


    she couldn''t give a job back to him. But would she have to be thrown out in disgrace?


    "Well, a thief is crying ''a thief.'' This is a real eye opener for me! It turns out that there are all kinds of


    people in this world!" Ingrid pouted and squinted disdainfully at Rejo, who she thought had


    completely failed to recognize herself!


    "You..."


    "We won''t know who the thief is after we find out the truth. It''s not your call!"


    At this moment, a deep voice overwhelmed Rejo''s angry growl. Rejo turned her head in


    confusion and looked at Jason standing at the door, who was framed by the sunlight with ayer of


    gold. She watched him take steps towards her and finally reach her side...


    Well, Jason didn''t even nce at her. He walked past her, stopped in front of Jackson, and


    examined him.


    Jason said lightly, "I''m Jason Sterling, and since there''s a thief in the Sterling family, then Officer


    Jackson, please find out who the real thief is. I''ve heard about you from Director Levis. He said you


    are a very professional police officer. Today, let me see your detective skills!"


    Officer Jackson was surprised. If he understood correctly, the Director Levis mentioned by Jason


    was Chief Rechardson''s boss, right? He knew who Jason Sterling was. Since a member of the


    Sterling family had offered to find out the truth, it was all okay for him to go further.


    "Mr. Sterling, please don''t worry. We will definitely catch the thief!"


    Jason nodded slightly in a careless manner. But Heidi, who was on the side, couldn''t help but


    exim, "Jason!"


    Jason didn''t look at Heidi. He lowered his rolled-up sleeve and said lightly, "I''ll go find Grandpa!"


    Rejo stared at Jason''s back, and she had a strange feeling. Yesterday, she had called him a


    bastard. But today, she felt that he was actually quite nice. Never mind, she didn''t have time to think


    about that now. Her top priority was to clear her name.


    "Why are you back? You just care so much about Rejo?"


    Burton was ufortable as he watched Jason enter the room he was in. Jason seemed to care


    too much about Rejo. The most important reason he did this was because he didn''t want his


    grandson to get involved with his stepdaughter again, in case a scandal arose.


    Jason sat across from Burton, picked up the French press pot on the table and poured himself a


    cup of coffee. Burton liked Sumatra coffee, but Jason didn''t really like it much. However, he was


    thirsty from the rush and didn''t mind the taste. He gulped a whole cup.


    "You are wasting it! The beans for this coffee are aged Sumatran coffee beans that someone gave


    me as a special gift, which was transported from the source. You just gulped it! I can''t even afford to


    drink this coffee like this!"


    "It''s just a cup of coffee. Why are you so stingy!" Jason muttered.


    Jason knew his grandfather wasn''t really saying this for a good cup of coffee. He knew that his


    grandfather was just unhappy with him. But even if his grandfather was upset with him, he still had


    to say.


    "Grandpa, I''ve asked Officer Jackson to investigate that case thoroughly!"


    "Nonsense!" Burton frowned tightly, "They are your sisters. Can you stand to see them being talked


    about?"


    "So, Ingrid and Hiry really did this? Let me guess. I don''t think Hiry would have taken the


    initiative herself ording to her character. She must have encouraged Ingrid to do it, but why


    would Ingrid listen to Hiry? She didn''t have to go against Rejo..."


    "What are you talking about? They''re both your sisters!" Burton countered quickly, but he didn''t look


    mad at all. He smiled and looked at Jason with great satisfaction. His grandson was so smart. The


    kid hadn''t been there, but it was amazing that he could decipher what Ingrid and Hiry were


    thinking.


    "But the things they have done just make me unable to see them as my sisters. Grandpa, you stay


    out of it. I''m going to educate the two of them today. What is the point of Uncle Nick having so many


    children? He was only responsible for getting those women pregnant, but he never educated his


    illegitimate daughters himself. Now when our family is mentioned, there are little goodments.


    Grandpa, if you keep meddling in this case, our reputation will be really ruined by these illegitimate


    girls!"


    "Is the situation as serious as you say? I know Georgina is not very good-tempered. But Ingrid and


    Hiry are good girls. Although they both have their own little thoughts, they have always defended


    the image of our family outside. You can''t have a problem with your sisters just because Rejo is


    your ex-girlfriend. That''s not fair!"


    Speaking of Rejo, Burton had a disgruntled tone. This situation now was all because of this girl.


    How dared she call the police because of her insignificant loss?


    Jason lowered his eyes, hiding the glitter in his eyes, and said lightly, "This has nothing to do with


    Rejo. Grandpa, a family''s legacy, does not only depend on its ability, but also on its moral values,


    which from my point of view is the most important factor. Big mistakes always start with a small w.


    You may think that their behavior is just a little fuss and ying some small tricks to get their own


    way, so you don''t discipline them. But the final failure of many important things is the small,


    inadvertent mistakes at the beginning. Since I am to inherit the Sterling family in the future, I have to


    pay attention to the upbringing of all my family members. Grandpa, if you don''t agree with my


    approach, then you''d better find someone else to be your heir!"


    Jason crossed his legs carelessly, put his feet on the coffee table and spread his hands.


    Burton''s breathing became ragged at his attitude, but there was nothing he could do about his only


    grandson.


    "You''ve made up your mind?"


    "Yes!"


    Jason replied firmly.


    Burton tapped the arm of the chair he was sitting on with his index finger, not objecting to Jason. He


    could certainly guess Ingrid and Hiry''s tricks, which were so childish that they made him want to


    laugh. However, because Ingrid and Hiry were his granddaughters, he turned a blind eye and


    allowed his two granddaughters to drive Rejo out of the Sterling family.


    But that didn''t mean he approved of what the two girls were doing. Since Jason was determined to


    teach Ingrid and Hiry a lesson, he had no problem with it. But he said to Jason meaningfully,


    "Have you talked to Nick about this?"


    Georgina was the first, then Ingrid and Hiry, Nick''s daughters, were cleaned up by Jason one


    after another, and Burton was afraid that his youngest son would be resentful.


    "Well, Uncle Nick has already boarded a ne overseas at noon. At this moment, he is probably


    still on the flight and has no signal. I''ll tell him when hees back!"


    "You brat, just wait for Nick to clean you up!" Seeing that Jason had done enough to get ready,


    Burtonughed and warned him. And then he was not going to interfere in this case anymore. He


    was no longer young. The future world was for the young. Since Jason knew what to do, he could


    not restrict his only grandson too much, lest he get resentful.


    At his current age, Burton thought he just needed to take the final charge and let his sons and


    grandchildren worry about the rest. He should take time to enjoy his retirement.


    However, Burton was curious and asked, "How are you going to get Ingrid and Hiry to admit what


    they did? Ingrid might be fooled by you and admit it, but I don''t think Hiry will admit it easily."


    "I''ve got a little gift for them!" Jason smiled mysteriously, and his smile was very tempting. Well, all


    those things he just said to his grandfather were lies. He hadn''t even bullied Rejo enough yet,


    and Ingrid and Hiry had stolen the benefits that were reserved for him. Well, he wouldn''t be Jason


    Sterling if he didn''t give these two so-called sisters a good lesson.


    Thinking about Rejo''s beautiful, but red eyes, Jason felt a moment of agitation. He tugged on his


    tie and drank up Burton''s Sumatra coffee in the French at once, which made Burton scold him. Now,


    the investigation downstairs should have been carried out now!


    Officer Jackson was good at detective work. After questioning a few people rted to the case, he


    knew roughly what had happened. However, he still needed to be sure, as well as to ask Jason''s


    opinion. For now, he''d better go to the scene to check it out. He turned his head to look at Rejo


    and asked, "Miss Lynn, could you allow me to go to your room for a moment?"


    He knew that the daughters of these prominent families were not easy to get along with, so he


    deliberately and openly asked Rejo''s permission so that others would not misunderstand.


    He didn''t know that Rejo was actually Burton''s new stepdaughter. No wonder she was being


    bullied in such a way. He nced at Rejo''s red eyes without a trace and sighed secretly.


    "Of course. Pleasee with me!" Rejo ignored Ingrid''s grim gaze and led Officer Jackson and


    the rest of them to her room.


    Ingrid frowned as she stared at Rejo and Officer Jackson''s backs, unable to figure out how the


    situation had turned out this way. She was under the impression that people like Rejo would


    definitely put up with it as long as they had money to take. But why was Rejo so nosy? What a


    nuisance. Now, Jason also intervened.

    "Hiry, what should we do?" Ingrid asked Hiry nervously.


    If the truth was found out, she would be humiliated! However, Hiry was not nervous at all. She


    nced at Ingrid, slightly frowning, "Well, Ingrid, you should stop thinking too much. Yes, the police


    are here. But so what? As long as he has no evidence, you''re okay!"


    There was no surveince in the Sterling Manor. Officer Jackson looked at the open drawer where


    Jacquelyn and Heidi had testified that they had found the ne on the bedside table. And then,


    Jackson almost knew for sure that it was a setup. Who would leave something stolen in such an


    obvious ce? The thief would have hidden the stolen items in a ce where they would not be


    easily found, except for criminals with special fetishes.


    Officer Jackson nodded toward Rejo, "I... Wait, what''s this?"


    Touching the handle of the drawer, Officer Jackson crouched down to take a look at the handle,


    which was carved in the style of a rose. He just pulled it gently, but surprisingly, this very fine looking


    handle was pulled off.


    Officer Jackson''s expression was a little twitchy. Was this a destruction of personal property? Would


    the Sterling family let him pay for it? By the way, anything in the Sterling Manor couldn''t be cheap!


    While Officer Jackson was still worried about thepensation he might have to pay, Rejo was


    already eximing, "What''s going on?"


    Who could tell her why something like this was in her room?
