Bound to My Billionaire Ex

Chapter 37 What? Why?!

Chapter 37 What? Why?!

Rejoyla 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 planned for a long time to put such a surveillance camera in her room. Who could have the ability to do such a thing?

Rejoyla trembled at the thought that Jason had slept in her room last night. She dreaded to think about what would happen after the others saw what the surveillance captured. She could never let anyone see the surveillance. As Rejoyla 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!

Rejoyla sighed with relief, and then squinted at Ingrid, who was afraid that her little affair with Jason would come out and make it difficult for Jacquelyn in the Sterling family. But why would Ingrid want to destroy the surveillance?

Officer Jackson frowned. He felt that there was no need to continue the investigation. Because according 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 displayed the contents to everyone.

"Rejoyla, tell us, what were you thinking when you hid a cabinet full of birth control pills in the cabinet? 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 Rejoyla down. If it wasn't Rejoyla, why would she have bribed the maid to testify against Rejoyla? Why would she sneak into Rejoyla's room and be caught on surveillance! 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!

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 Rejoyla out of the Sterling family!

Rejoyla was secretly alarmed. 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 necklace here, it was not an impossible mission to put a cabinet full of birth control pills here.

Rejoyla 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 was common 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. Rejoyla 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! Rejoyla, let's see how you're going to defend yourself this time!' Ingrid thought to herself as she looked at Rejoyla with glee.

"Ahem, Miss Sterling, where are the pills you mentioned?"

"Just in... Wait... Rejoyla, 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!

Rejoyla 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.

Hillary took a quick, quiet look at Rejoyla and frowned slightly when she saw Rejoyla's surprised expression. What the h*ll was going on here? Why did she feel like things were completely out of her control? She should have been able to get Rejoyla out of the Sterling family perfectly, but why was every single situation now different from what she had planned?

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!" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Officer Jackson felt his scalp tingling. He regretted coming 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, Rejoyla, 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 surveillance!"

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 Rejoyla. Since there was surveillance 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 explained, "The security camera Mr. Sterling is holding is the latest 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 welcome. 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 surveillance 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, Rejoyla beamed. She knew Ingrid was trying to use family connections to change Jason's mind. Rejoyla 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 claimed to be his sister but was just his cousin.

The final verdict was entirely up to Jason's mind. As much as Rejoyla 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, Rejoyla unconsciously folded her arms tightly at her side, not daring to breathe.

Jason didn't look at Rejoyla, but just stared at Ingrid, "Huh... According to your theory, if my sisters had committed 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 surveillance right away. When Uncle Nick gets back, I'll personally give the surveillance 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 Paula put the necklace in Rejoyla's room and farmed her on purpose. Are you satisfied?"

'What an idiot!' Hillary thought secretly while pinching her forehead.

Ingrid just let Paula put the stuff in. She could have denied it, as long as she could get Paula to confirm her testimony. Even if she later sneaked into Rejoyla's room for a search, she could have made up a reason. But she was scared by Jason and confessed everything.

Hillary thought to herself, 'I hope you won't rat me out. Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking of you as my sister. I can't have any stains.'

Hillary 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 Hillary in a cold sweat. Good for her that Ingrid didn't realize that she had been used by Hillary. So, her confession didn't mention that Hillary suggested to her that she should frame Rejoyla.

Hillary was relieved, but Rejoyla 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 him last night was the real thing!

What was this? A bloody case caused by a bottle of birth control pills?

Rejoyla 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 Rejoyla 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 Rejoyla 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 succumbed to Jason's intimidation, not because she felt guilty about Rejoyla. Now she had to apologize to Rejoyla? That was impossible!

Rejoyla was just a stepdaughter who might be kicked out of this family at any minute! How could she apologize to Rejoyla?

Ingrid stretched her neck and shouted, "I will never apologize to her!"
