157: Chapter 157: Perfect Coordination 157: Chapter 157: Perfect Coordination Jas Brown opened the door and imdiately saw Helen Wilson and Sarah Grandy, which secretly relieved him.
Although he had been fiercely scolding Sarah Grandy, he was still sowhat worried about her.
This girl might have caused so trouble, but at least she was good to him.
He could not just watch as she ran into trouble, which is why he had made that call to Helen Wilson.
But to his surprise, Helen Wilson was now standing there with a stern face, pushing Jas Brown inside and promptly pulling out handcuffs.
“Jas Brown, you’re implicated in a rape case.
I’m taking you in for questioning.
If you dare to resist, that’s resisting arrest and assaulting an officer.
If you don’t want to add to your charges, you’d better cooperate,” she said.
These words from Helen Wilson made Jas Brown’s eyes widen.
“Officer Monaghan, are you kidding ?
When have I ever raped anyone?”
Helen Wilson pointed at Sarah Grandy and said, “There’s your troublemaker.
With the victim’s testimony, do you think I lack evidence to arrest you?”
“Sarah Grandy?” Jas Brown frowned and turned to Sarah Grandy.
Feeling guilty under Jas Brown’s gaze, Sarah Grandy instinctively averted her eyes.
Then, thinking of how this detestable uncle had refused to take her in at all, she felt a surge of resentnt and blurted out, “It was you.
You just raped .”
Helen Wilson, with a surge of anger, said to Jas Brown, “What do you have to say for yourself now?”
Jas Brown rubbed his nose and replied, “I’ve got nothing to say.”
Helen Wilson was taken aback; she had expected Jas Brown to say sothing in his defense.
Since he wasn’t going to explain, she thought it was a good opportunity to deal with him.
She took out the handcuffs and said, “Then just be quiet.”
Jas Brown squinted his eyes at Helen Wilson and asked, “Really going to cuff ?”
“What, you think you wouldn’t be cuffed after committing such a big cri?”
“Alright, alright, cuff then.
I’ve never been cuffed by these silver bracelets before,” said Jas Brown with a grin, extending his hands.
Seeing Jas Brown’s nonchalant deanor, Helen Wilson grew even more irritated.
With a couple of clicks, she handcuffed his hands and said, “Humph, you jerk, you’re going to be locked up for at least five to seven years.”
Jas Brown held up his hands and closely inspected the handcuffs.
“Officer Monaghan, where did you buy these handcuffs?
Get a pair when you go back.”
“Where did I buy them?” Helen Wilson, irritated by Jas Brown’s nonsensical talk, replied crossly, “These are specially issued for police officers; you think they can be bought just like that?”
“Can’t buy them, huh?
How about you gift this pair to and then just say you lost them?
You can get another pair back at the station.”
Jas Brown was driving Helen Wilson to the brink of madness.
Glaring at him, she barked, “You jackass, you’re involved in a rape case, do you understand?
Rape!
It’s a serious cri with severe punishnt.”
Helen Wilson was warning Jas Brown, trying to scare him a bit.
But Jas Brown still spoke with a teasing smile, “No problem, over there I get food and shelter, plus I can work out.
It’s all good.
I couldn’t even go there if I wanted to.”
Helen Wilson was fuming at Jas Brown’s words, and Sarah Grandy also stared at this unbelievable uncle.
She had intended to fra Jas Brown to vent her anger, but now it seed he wasn’t the least bit scared.
Her plan had completely failed.
Originally, Sarah Grandy just wanted to get back at him and didn’t actually an to get Jas Brown arrested by the police.
If Helen Wilson were to really take Jas Brown away, she would have to admit that it was all just a prank.
Then, feeling grateful, he would let her stay.
But now, it was clear that her plan had once again fallen through.
“Officer Monaghan is really nice to , even giving a pair of police handcuffs to play with.
Hey, give the keys for a mont; I want to see how to unlock these,” Jas Brown said cheerfully, flicking his cuffed hands at Helen Wilson.
Helen Wilson glanced at Sarah Grandy, who was pouting helplessly, having no idea how to deal with Jas Brown.
“Are handcuffs really that fun?
Sarah Grandy, tell the truth, did he or did he not rape you?”
At this point, Sarah Grandy, no longer interested in the charade, reluctantly said, “No, this damn uncle just wouldn’t take in and tried to make leave.
I just wanted you to scare him for .”
Helen Wilson found an excuse to back down, glaring at Sarah Grandy and said, “This is nonsense.
How can you make up such a thing?
It’s lucky it was .
If it had been soone else, they would have taken Jas Brown straight to the station.
Even if you recanted later, it would still be considered slander and defamation, which is a cri.”
Sarah Grandy muttered, “I know, I know.”
Jas Brown watched the two won’s performance, pretending to be clueless and eagerly said, “Officer Monaghan, hurry up and let try those keys.”
Looking at Jas Brown’s shaless behavior, Helen Wilson really wanted to smack him.
She’d t shaless people before, but she had never t anyone quite as shaless as him.
Angrily, she snarled, “Stay put,” as she unlocked the handcuffs and quickly stowed them, fearing Jas Brown would actually take them to play.
Jas Brown pursed his lips and said, “Officer Monaghan, you’re really stingy.
It’s off-hours now; what’s the big deal about playing with your handcuffs?
It’s not like I’m playing with your gun.”
Helen Wilson said irritably, “Go away, you’d better not ss with , because once I cuff you, there’s no way you’re getting released.”
“I’m such a law-abiding citizen, how could I possibly get caught by you?” Jas Brown gave Helen a aningful look and said, “Officer Monaghan, but isn’t this young lady being a bit too reckless?
She just pins cris on others without hesitation.
As a police officer, shouldn’t you discipline her a bit?”
Helen imdiately got the hint and said sternly to Sarah Grandy, “This is indeed a serious matter.
I need to go to your house and speak to your parents about it so they can properly discipline you.”
Sarah Grandy jumped in fright and pleaded urgently, “Really?
It was just a joke, does it need to involve my parents?” If the police showed up at her house, it wouldn’t just be a scolding; she might even get beaten.
Helen glared and grabbed Sarah by the arm, saying, “A joke?
Do you think this is sothing to joke about?
Co on, take to your house.”
“Officer Monaghan, please, don’t tell my parents, please—I admit my mistake, isn’t that enough?
I’m begging you, please.”
While struggling, Sarah continued to beg desperately.
“No way, what you did this ti was really terrible.
If I don’t tell your parents about it, and you end up taking the criminal path, that would be my fault.
Don’t move.
I’m telling you, even if you run now, I can find out your ho address and phone number imdiately.”
“Uncle, Uncle!
Help out, please.
If I promise to go ho now, can you keep Officer Monaghan from contacting my parents?”
Hearing this, Jas Brown imdiately said to Helen, “Officer Monaghan, Sarah is indeed young and bound to make mistakes.
Why don’t you let her off the hook this ti to avoid deepening the discord between her and her parents?
It’ll be even more difficult to manage her that way.”
Helen hesitated for a mont, not agreeing imdiately.
Seeing a glimr of hope, Sarah quickly shook Helen’s arm and said in an ingratiating tone, “Officer Monaghan, I really won’t commit the sa mistake again.
Can you give another chance?”
Helen then relented, “Alright, you head ho now.
If you dare linger outside, I’ll definitely notify your parents tomorrow.”
“I’m going ho—I’m heading ho right away.” Sarah dashed out the door of Jas’s house as if flying.
Running away from ho still left her inherently afraid of her parents, especially after making a mistake.
Thus, she had no option but to obediently return ho.
As soon as Sarah left, Helen glared nacingly at Jas.
Jas chuckled and said, “Officer Monaghan, you really are clever.
With just one look, you understood what I ant.”
“Hmph, don’t try to butter up.
You just said that disgusting thing to scare off; how should we settle that score?”
Compared to the trouble caused by Sarah and Helen, Jas felt Sarah was the more problematic.
Knowing Helen would certainly look for payback later, he chuckled and said, “Officer Monaghan, you think I was joking?
You had cuffed.
Aren’t you satisfied yet?”
“Hmph, are you saying you let cuff you on purpose?”
“Hehe, with soone as perceptive and brilliant as you, Officer Monaghan, it’s impossible not to notice that little girl was deliberately trying to fra .”
“Hmph, at least you’re conscious of reality.” Though Helen’s tone remained unfriendly, she appeared quite pleased with Jas’s words.
“Exactly, I’m very perceptive.
Otherwise, why would you consider a friend?”
“Stop right there, I haven’t regarded you as a friend.
I’m warning you, you are a pri suspect to now.
I’ve always suspected that you swindle money from wealthy won.”
“What?” Jas’s eyes widened in shock.
“What, did I hit the nail on the head?” Helen stared into Jas’s eyes.
Jas opened his mouth, then said with a pained smile, “Officer Monaghan, you can’t just accuse people like that.
True, all the won I interact with are wealthy, but whom have I ever deceived?”
“Oh really?
Then tell , what’s your relationship with that director you took away that day?”
“That…
should just be a friendly relationship.”
“What about the general manager?
I saw you spending money lavishly, buying a few clothes and spending fourteen dollars.
With your salary, can you afford that?”
Only then did Jas realize why Helen suspected him of conning won’s money—he couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, “Officer Monaghan, what you saw that day were the Twins, our boss’s sisters.
I was accompanying them shopping, and it was the boss’s money we spent, I was just handling it.
To think you actually mistook as a ‘Pretty Boy’—do I really have that potential?”
Seeing Jas touching his face in a self-admiring manner, Helen got goosebumps all over, but hearing his explanation, her suspicions about Jas were greatly reduced.
