Chapter 37 What? Why?!
Chapter 37 What? Why?!
Rejo stared at the thing with wide eyes in Officer Jackson''s hand. Why was there a security
camera in her room? Moreover, the camera was made in the style of a drawer handle. Someone
must have nned for a long time to put such a surveince camera in her room. Who could have
the ability to do such a thing?
Rejo trembled at the thought that Jason had slept in her roomst night. She dreaded to think
about what would happen after the others saw what the surveince captured. She could never let
anyone see the surveince. As Rejo thought about how she could take the camera out of Officer
Jackson''s hands, one of them beat her to it!
Jackson probably didn''t think that the seemingly soft and delicate Ingrid would dare to take the
evidence from him. By the time he realized what had just happened, Ingrid had stomped on the
security camera and crushed it with the heel of her 5-inch heels!
Rejo sighed with relief, and then squinted at Ingrid, who was afraid that her little affair with Jason
woulde out and make it difficult for Jacquelyn in the Sterling family. But why would Ingrid want
to destroy the surveince?
Officer Jackson frowned. He felt that there was no need to continue the investigation. Because
ording to Ingrid''s behavior just now, he could be sure that this girl definitely was guilty.
Jason just leaned on the door and witnessed the whole process. At this point, he asked, "Officer
Jackson, have you checked it out?"
Hearing Jason''s voice, Ingrid shivered. It was then that she realized what she had just done on
impulse. Looking around at the suspicious eyes of people looking at her, she felt overwhelmed at
once. So, she violently pulled open the second drawer of the bedside table and disyed the
contents to everyone.
"Rejo, tell us, what were you thinking when you hid a cab full of birth control pills in the
cab? Our family''s rules and education have always been strict and decent. You are shameless
but don''t bring the Sterling family''s name into disrepute!"
Now, she couldn''t care about anything else. She had just acted suspiciously anyway, and even if
what she had done was discovered, she would definitely bring Rejo down. If it wasn''t Rejo,
why would she have bribed the maid to testify against Rejo? Why would she sneak into Rejo''s
room and be caught on surveince! And why would she be suspected by the police who came to
the door, which would make her be looked down upon by others for sure!

room and be caught on surveince! And why would she be suspected by the police who came to
the door, which would make her be looked down upon by others for sure!
She had to get Rejo out of the Sterling family!
Rejo was secretly rmed. She did have the pill in the second drawer of her bedside table. But
she only had one bottle. Why was the second drawer now filled with birth control pills? However, if
the person who set her up could put Ingrid''s ne here, it was not an impossible mission to put
a cab full of birth control pills here.
Rejo couldn''t figure it out. She didn''t know what she had done to offend Miss Ingrid, and why
Ingrid had to try to bring her into disrepute!
Well, society nowadays was very open. It wasmon for couples to live together before they got
married. And it wasn''t a big deal as long as they were brave enough to deal with the criticism. But a
whole drawer of birth control pills would be enough for a woman to take for years. This scene would
suggest that she had a questionable lifestyle.
Besides, she was now living in the Sterling family, and she would probably be seen as a bad woman
with a slutty lifestyle in the future. But these birth control pills were not hers. Rejo didn''t want to
concede, and she would never admit the things she didn''t do!
Ingrid remembered clearly and was so shocked when she saw a drawer full of birth control pills that
she forgot her original intention. ''Ha! Rejo, let''s see how you''re going to defend yourself this
time!'' Ingrid thought to herself as she looked at Rejo with glee.
"Ahem, Miss Sterling, where are the pills you mentioned?"
"Just in... Wait... Rejo, where did you hide those pills?" Ingrid screamed as she looked at the
empty drawer. She had seen the drawer full of birth control pills when she came in just now!
Rejo was dumbfounded. She was too confused. Where were the birth control pills in the drawer?
She had clearly put the bottle of pills Jason gave her in there.
Hiry took a quick, quiet look at Rejo and frowned slightly when she saw Rejo''s surprised
expression. What the h*ll was going on here? Why did she feel like things werepletely out of
her control? She should have been able to get Rejo out of the Sterling family perfectly, but why
was every single situation now different from what she had nned?
Jason walked to Ingrid, slowly squatting down to pick up the security camera that Ingrid had
stepped on, and held it in his hands to fiddle with it. His voice was cold, not loud, but made
everyone present feel the irresistible pressure.
"Now is not the time to focus on those trivial matters. Officer Jackson, you have not answered my
question. How''s the case going? Don''t tell me you don''t have a clue about such a simple case.
Then I should ask Chief Rechardson how he manages his staff!"
Officer Jackson felt his scalp tingling. He regretteding to Sterling Manor today. He knew there
was a lot of trouble within a wealthy and powerful family like the Sterling family.
By now, the case was clear. Miss Ingrid was a member of the Sterling family, but she for some
reason didn''t like her grandfather''s new stepdaughter, Rejo, so she tried to frame her.
"Mr. Sterling, I have almost found out the truth. The security camera you are holding is the best
evidence. You should be able to know the truth after you have seen the surveince!"
Jackson replied. He should not get involved in this kind of situation, or he would be unlucky. He
couldn''t afford to offend either Miss Ingrid or Rejo. Since there was surveince here, he would
just leave it all to Jason and let him decide who he wanted to sacrifice.
"No way! This security camera has been destroyed. It can''t tell you anything!" Ingrid was shocked
when she heard Officer Jackson mention that the security camera was still working, so she shouted
eagerly.
Officer Jackson gave a cryptic look at Ingrid, whose face was contorted, and exined, "The
security camera Mr. Sterling is holding is thetest model. As long as there is a tech guy, it can be
repaired even if it is trampled. Mr. Sterling, if there''s nothing else, we should leave now!"
Jason turned to look at Officer Jackson and nodded, "Officer Jackson, thank you!"
"You''re wee. We are just doing our job!"
Officer Jackson had a cold sweat on his forehead. Then, before Jason could say anything, he
nimbly left with a few of his subordinates behind him.
''Oh!!! I''ll never meddle in these rich people''s crap for the sake of credit again!'' Jackson thought in
his mind.
Seeing that the outsiders had left, Jason stared at Ingrid with a dark gaze and said, "Do you want to
confess voluntarily, or are you going to tell the truth until I get someone to fix the surveince and
get you to confess with evidence!"
"I..." Ingrid bit her lip with tears, looking so pitiful, "Jason, I''m your sister. We are family! How can
you do this to me?"
Seeing this, Rejo beamed. She knew Ingrid was trying to use family connections to change
Jason''s mind. Rejo thought it was better for her not to say anything at such a time. Because she
knew Jason too well. Once he made a decision, even his own father couldn''t make him change his
mind, not to mention Ingrid, who imed to be his sister but was just his cousin.
The final verdict was entirely up to Jason''s mind. As much as Rejo didn''t want to admit it, she
couldn''t help but expect Jason to help her.
Jason told her yesterday that she was nothing to him, but today he specifically asked Officer
Jackson to investigate the case. Did that mean he was hoping to find out the truth too? Did that
show that she actually meant something to him?
Looking at Jason expectantly, Rejo unconsciously folded her arms tightly at her side, not daring
to breathe.

Jason didn''t look at Rejo, but just stared at Ingrid, "Huh... ording to your theory, if my sisters
hadmitted a crime, even a murder, I would have had to bail them out?!"
"Jason, how can you say that! How could I be such a person?"
"Come on, cut the crap. Fine, I''ll get someone to fix the surveince right away. When Uncle Nick
gets back, I''ll personally give the surveince to him and Grandpa."
Jason couldn''t stand to see Ingrid pouting. He was her brother, not her lover. Why would he be
charmed just because she was crying pathetically?
Seeing that Jason was leaving, Ingrid, who knew Jason''s temper well, was scared. Her father, Nick,
was not so good-tempered with her. He had a lot of daughters anyway. He wouldn''t have cared less
about one or two. Even at his current age, he was still out there trying to get more women pregnant
for a chance to have a son.
If her father had known she had done such a disgraceful thing, she would have been thrown out of
the Sterling family, just like Georgina.
Thinking about it, Ingrid just felt her mind confused. She didn''t know what to do. Seeing Jason about
to leave, she shouted out of anxiety, "Fine! I''m telling you! It was me! I made Pa put the ne
in Rejo''s room and farmed her on purpose. Are you satisfied?"
''What an idiot!'' Hiry thought secretly while pinching her forehead.
Ingrid just let Pa put the stuff in. She could have denied it, as long as she could get Pa to
confirm her testimony. Even if sheter sneaked into Rejo''s room for a search, she could have
made up a reason. But she was scared by Jason and confessed everything.
Hiry thought to herself, ''I hope you won''t rat me out. Otherwise, don''t me me for not thinking of
you as my sister. I can''t have any stains.''
Hiry was thinking about how to get Ingrid to shut up, when Jason turned his head and stared at
Ingrid, who was breaking down and crying with a faint smile on his face, "Alright, now that you''ve
admitted it, I won''t make it hard for you. Now tell me everything."
Ingrid had lost all her sense of reason by now, and answered whatever Jason asked, leaving Hiry
in a cold sweat. Good for her that Ingrid didn''t realize that she had been used by Hiry. So, her
confession didn''t mention that Hiry suggested to her that she should frame Rejo.
Hiry was relieved, but Rejo was very upset.
When she heard that the whole thing started because Ingrid suspected her of stealing her birth
control pills, she couldn''t help but look at Jason, who said he went to steal the pills for himst night
was the real thing!
What was this? A bloody case caused by a bottle of birth control pills?
Rejo was a little vain because it seemed that this case was caused by her. Jason didn''t think
Ingrid would be so stupid as to frame Rejo for a missing bottle of birth control pills, and he didn''t
even want to acknowledge her as his sister. Why would she do that when there were so many other
options?
The veins on Jason''s forehead popped. He interrupted Ingrid''s cries and said, "Alright. Now that
you''ve admitted that you did this, apologize to Rejo and ask for her forgiveness. If she forgives
you, I''ll let this go!"
"What? Why?!" Ingrid stared at Jason with wide eyes incredulously. She admitted that she had done
it because she had sumbed to Jason''s intimidation, not because she felt guilty about Rejo.
Now she had to apologize to Rejo? That was impossible!
Rejo was just a stepdaughter who might be kicked out of this family at any minute! How could
she apologize to Rejo?
Ingrid stretched her neck and shouted, "I will never apologize to her!"
