Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love by Aurora Summers - Season 1 Episode 49

After briefly explaining the whole situation to Joseph, Tyson went to the interrogation

room to see Chloe.

Although they did not cross paths when they attended the party at the Whitmans’ not long ago, Tyson knew about Chloe. In light of their relationship, she should call him ” Uncle Tyson.” However, Chloe was aware that the current moment was unsuitable for introductions.

“About a month back, I gave the bracelets to Jake at a coffee shop on Dixie Street. You can check the surveillance footage there. It’s been quite some time since then, so I wonder why he reported it only now if what he said is true. There must be something going on.

“Moreover, the store owner who gave her testimony must also be involved in this. Today was my first time ever seeing her! You can start investigating her to gather more information,” Chloe said, listing all the suspicious details she could think of.

However, she felt disheartened when the person across from her remained silent. The man in front of her was Joseph’s uncle, and although they were only related by marriage, there was a slim chance Tyson knew Jake.

“Chloe, I’ll consider investigating the details you have provided. Don’t worry,” Tyson said. When he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, he continued, “I have to step out for a moment.”

Tyson walked out and answered the phone. A magnetic, icy voice spoke on the other end.

“I’m at the station.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll be right there,” Tyson replied.

The station spent the entire afternoon investigating the cause and consequences of the case. Jake had only reported the incident this morning and it had yet to be officially registered, so Tyson took charge and handled the case himself.

With narrowed eyes, he examined the picture of the jewelry maintenance store owner

on the blackboard.

“Since she claimed the store’s camera was out of order, we can obtain footage from the

vicinity of the store,” he asserted and promptly sent someone to retrieve it.

After a while, the officer responsible for retrieving the surveillance footage sent over a video. The time stamp on the video indicated that it was from three days ago. In the footage, Ava visited the woman’s store with the bracelets, looking to get them polished. She stayed there for fifteen minutes before leaving, and an hour later, the woman closed the store and left, carrying a beautifully wrapped box with her. Upon closer inspection, the box in her arms was the same one that Ava had brought the bracelets in.

The woman was swiftly apprehended and taken to the station. Upon being questioned, she readily admitted, “I coveted the bracelets, so I swapped them out with counterfeit ones I made at home.”

Tyson sensed that there was something wrong and turned his gaze toward Joseph, who was sitting in the adjacent restroom. Upon seeing the gloomy expression on Joseph’s face, Tyson started to sweat profusely.

In any case, he decided to temporarily notify the owner of the bracelet to come over.

The woman was relieved when she saw that Tyson was not going to press her further, and tears welled up in her eyes. Just an hour ago, her son had experienced a major blood loss during surgery and the 150,000 dollars she had was not enough to cover the costs.

She had to return to Ava and ask for more money, and just at that moment, she received a call from the station. Ava had offered to provide an additional 300,000 dollars and a letter of forgiveness if she took responsibility.

Chloe was greatly taken aback when she saw Joseph. She thought she was hallucinating and rubbed her eyes several times before confirming that it was really Joseph standing in front of her. She frowned slightly and asked, “How… How did you get here?”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Joseph asked, his icy tone indicating that he was in a bad mood.

“I…I didn’t know how to tell you about it. You already know?”

“Of course,” Joseph urged impatiently, “Why are you still standing there?”

Nervously, Chloe trailed behind him with a perplexed expression on her face. Once they were out of the station, Joseph gave her an exasperated look and said, “I got you out. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

Did she really not trust him? If it were not for Tyson, he would probably still be in the

dark.

Chloe lowered her head and said, “Thank you.”

Noticing Chloe’s exhausted expression, Joseph inferred that she had had a rough day. Despite his lingering discontent, he refrained from reprimanding her any further.

“There are several inconsistencies in this case, and considering the victim’s forgiveness letter, the defendant is likely to receive a lenient punishment.”

“Victim?” Chloe was stunned and she looked at him. “You didn’t see… I mean, you – didn’t meet the victim?”

“Why should I meet the victim?” Joseph asked, “That’s the police’s job. I’m not at policeman.”

Though he could have gotten Chloe out on his own, since Tyson was family and worked at the station, he decided to trust Tyson to handle the case.
