Chapter 228

Celine was a formidable secretary, and being by Katherine's side over the years, she naturally knew
about this incident.

Celine instinctively called Katherine to ask her how she would like the matter handled.

"Miss Wilson, do you need our PR team to deal with the trending topic?" she asked.

Katherine glanced at the car in front of her.

"No need.Help me contact Atty.Parson.I'm on my way to the police station to file a formal complaint"

Celine was taken aback for a moment.

This time, things were different.

After all, the people involved were Katherine's biological grandmother and uncle.

Celine had thought that this matter was indeed tricky.

She had always thought highly of Katherine and found her beautiful and kind-hearted.

Celine was afraid that a few sweet words from Amelia were enough to coax Katherine and make her
give in to their demands.

Now, she felt that she seemed to have underestimated her idol! Katherine could be ruthless when
necessary.

"Okay, I got it, Miss Wilson."

"All right."

Katherine acknowledged Celine's response and ended the call.



Amelia had taken her bag, leaving Katherine with only the phone in her hand.

There was a police station not far from the company.

In less than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of the precinct.

Katherine saw Zack getting out of the car just as she was alighting from the vehicle.

She was surprised by his actions and couldn't help looking at him for a second.

She decided against saying anything and calmly walked into the police station.

Zack was right.

It was a fact that Amelia was Katherine's grandmother.

As soon as Katherine explained the situation, the police advised her to settle the dispute directly with
the old lady.

Katherine's smile faded, and her face turned serious.

"Officer, I came here to report a case, not to make a joke.Although she is my biological grandmother, I
haven't seen her since my parents passed away ten years ago.I have no obligation to support her.Do
you know why I'm certain that she was not angry at me for not being an obedient granddaughter? And
the fact that she stole my bag to earn money?"

She paused before adding, "Twenty years ago, she tried to sell me to someone else."

The police officer, who was taking her statement, was somewhat flustered due to this revelation.

Zack did not expect Katherine to openly mention such an embarrassing past.



He subconsciously looked at Katherine to gauge her emotions.

She calmly remained in her seat with a smile on her face, although he noticed a slight change in her
smile.

However, Zack felt uneasy.

It was as if something had pierced through his heart.

Zack's face darkened, and in all seriousness stated, "The bag, along with some cash and accessories,
is worth over one hundred thousand dollars.My friend's personal possession was forcibly taken from
her in front of many witnesses.I believe this is no longer an ordinary civil case.Or are you saying that an
item valued over one hundred dollars is not enough to pursue a criminal case?"

Just as Zack was voicing his stand, another policeman came in.

The police officer who had taken Katherine's statement excused himself, "Miss Wilson, please wait for
a moment"

The policeman ran out in a hurry.

He returned shortly after and announced, "Miss Wilson, our department has already set up a special
team to handle this case.Rest assured, we will pursue all that is necessary to retrieve the stolen items."

"Thank you.I look forward to hearing from you" she replied.

Katherine took a sip of water, stood up, and looked at Zack.

"I think we're done here.Aren't you hungry?" She asked that because she was famished.

"What do you want to eat?" she further asked.



Zack acted as if he didn’t understand what she meant.

Katherine was annoyed that he was feigning ignorance, so she let out a chuckle.

"l want to have an exotic food platter.Would you like that, Mr.Colburn?"

‘Why didn't I realize that he’s so thick-skinned?' Katherine wondered.

"Yes," he hesitantly agreed.

Zack was a clean-freak.He never ate these things.He even found them disgusting! Actually, he was
quite germaphobic! Katherine deliberately made things difficult for him, but he still agreed.

For a moment, Katherine felt that she had shot herself in the foot.

"Then, let's go."

Since Zack was willing to "suffer", then Katherine wouldn't hold back.
