"I'm asking for a lawyer."

"I haven't done that kind of thing, you can't arrest me like this without evidence!"

When she was taken into the police station, Jenna kept protesting, whether she asked for a lawyer or defended herself, but no one paid attention to her.Although she didn't understand the laws of this era, the guards even laughed unceremoniously when they heard her make those demands.

"Calm down, yellow man, if you plead guilty with a better attitude, maybe you can get a lighter punishment."

"Why should I plead guilty to something I didn't do!"

Jenna was driven crazy by their unreasonable anger. Although she knew that this era was full of discrimination, she never thought that Asians would be bullied to this extent.She was relieved when she learned that there was no Chinese Exclusion Act, but the actual environment was not much different, still in the nineteenth century.

"I have a legitimate job. My current job earns 35 yuan a week. I don't need to do that kind of thing. You can't convict me just because of a person's unilateral words!"

While maintaining her composure, Jenna explained to them, "I have already got a job in the presidential palace. If you don't believe me, you can go to the person in charge of the letter office... or anyone in it to confirm this thing."

This is her first day as the president's secretary. If Valentine finds out that she is late for work and gets involved in this kind of thing, he will definitely be upset, and maybe he will think that she has too many things to do.

Asians have no right to speak at all, and she needs a white guarantor.If Tim had been there, he would have testified for her, she had nothing on her when they left that day!But the problem is that Tim has a job and needs to come back in a few days, and she is likely to be locked up here for a few days...

However, what Jenna said made the guards laugh, "Really, then we are still the president's personal bodyguards, and we can earn 50 yuan a week!"

"Stop talking stupid, yellow people, you are so kind to the employer who took you in. If you didn't steal something, how could the yellow people give up a good job with food and shelter and run away? How many people want such a job? The job of a manor maid!"

"What I'm saying is true!"

It was the first time she experienced this feeling of being anxious but at a loss, but she still had to keep calm and explain to them, "President Valentine also knows me, I work in the Presidential Palace, and they opened an office for me yesterday. Welcome party. If I lie with a guilty conscience, as long as you go to confirm it, you will know the truth, why should I tell such a lie?"

"Could she be serious?"

One of the guards was a little shaken, and couldn't help but looked at his colleague and suggested, "Why don't we go to collect evidence again?"

"It must be fake! How could the yellow race enter the presidential palace? They can say anything to get rid of the crime."

Another person disagreed, "Will President Valentine know such a little girl? Is it possible! I also want to say that the President is my relative. Don't you want to overthrow the testimony of a distinguished lady? Don't worry about this inappropriateness." The actual thing is a waste of time, close this case early, so we can rest."

"That's right, what was I thinking?"

The other party nodded, and the two of them didn't seem to want to make trouble, so they ignored Jenna and forced her to keep quiet.

"Stop talking nonsense, leave something to tell the judge!"

Their thoughts are also consistent negative - there is always one party lying in this matter, will they prove that a noble white lady is lying?of course not.

Jenna found that she couldn't convince them anymore, because her identity here was the original sin, and no one would be willing to offend white people in high society for a yellow person.

Why is she so unlucky?She thought to herself in annoyance that she had already lived her life very carefully.Although she is not perfect, but try not to let herself make mistakes, troublesome things will always follow her behind and refuse to let her go.

It is very difficult to get out of here on her own, and she began to hope that the president would find out that she was missing work and someone would come to her, so that she would at least have a little more chance.However, not long after, her employer, the rich old lady Sansa, came here in person.

She looked furious, with a straight face, as if Jenna was the enemy she had hated for decades.

Jenna was also very angry. Before the old rich woman could speak, she said angrily, "Why do you slander me for stealing? You know that I never took anything. Even when you asked me to go shopping, I never I didn't take any more money that didn't belong to me! Where did I make you hate me so much?"

"How dare you say this!"

Ms. Sansa suddenly burst into flames, wrinkled her face like a witch and yelled at Jenna, "That's the diamond necklace I wore when Diego and I got married! It disappeared the night you ran away! We found Your greedy family, they suddenly quit their jobs and bought a house in Chicago! Where did they get the money? You stole my necklace and sold it!"

What?Lady Sansa's necklace is really lost?

After hearing the old rich woman's words, Jenna was immediately surprised.

She originally thought it was Ms. Sansa's revenge for the affair between her maid and her husband, so she listened to Diego's provocation and planned to give her some color.

But looking at it this way, someone really stole the necklace and tried to blame her! !

What happened to the original owner's family suddenly getting rich?It can't be just a coincidence...

Could it be that Diego wanted to take revenge on her...

"How do I know where they got their money? Have you asked them?"

Jenna's heart skipped a beat, but she still retorted forcefully, "What does it have to do with me when they suddenly have money? They originally wanted me to be a concubine for a casino owner in the Qing Dynasty. I didn't agree so I ran away. How could it be possible? Stealing something from them? I have already severed ties with them, haven’t you thought about other possibilities? Why do you think I must have stolen something when it disappeared?”

"Stop pretending! Your family members have already admitted it!"

Ms. Sansa glared at Jenna fiercely and cursed, "Because you secretly fell in love with my husband! You shameless little girl, you have been fantasizing about my Dio, and you refused to marry that Qing man, so you agreed to marry me." They have money, so you stole my diamond necklace and sold it. They admit that you gave them a lot of money, but they don’t know where the money came from! I will pay back the money for you, I advise you to think clearly, either return the necklace to me, or go to jail!"

"........."

Oh shit.

This script was beyond her expectation.

Ms. Sansa really lost the necklace, and the original owner's family suddenly got a large sum of money inexplicably. All of this really cannot be described as a coincidence... No wonder the police arrested her for no reason!In their view, perhaps this is ironclad evidence.

Of course she never saw the original owner's family again, let alone gave them the money, why did they say she gave them the money?Obviously took advantage of someone.

Anyway, a daughter who refuses to marry the boss of the Qing Dynasty as a concubine and can no longer create value for the family, compared to money and a house, it is better for them to give up.

Jenna is now almost 100% sure it was Diego who did it.

Because the rich woman cannot be directly poisoned to death for the time being, Diego is worried that Jenna will expose his conspiracy and hates her for betraying him, so he sets up a layout and wants to send her to prison.

Judging from the seriousness of theft crimes during this period, the value of the diamond necklace may allow her to sit in prison.

... It's really hard to say clearly when this matter has come to this point.

Jenna was almost dumbfounded, Diego was really the most insidious man she had ever seen, he simply did everything a vicious female supporting role could do.

"..."

She clenched her fists angrily. If he bribed the original owner's family to frame her for the theft, it would be really difficult for her to clear herself up.If Diego dares to do this, isn't he afraid to say what he wants to do?For her, there is no difference between a prison sentence and a death sentence.

Jenna has made up her mind and is ready to fight Diego!The big deal is to die together, even if you can't let him in, let the rich woman be on guard against him, so that he loses the chance to win the inheritance!

"I'm going to tell you something, ma'am."

Jenna looked at Sansa expressionlessly, "Before you make a judgment, maybe you can listen to me tell you a secret."

"What do you want to say?"

The old rich woman frowned, and when Jenna was about to speak, the beautiful man who was like her nightmare walked in and interrupted the two of them outside the fence.

"I want to talk to the poor child, maybe I can persuade her, will you, dear."

Diego skillfully took the back of the old rich woman's hand, and gently kissed it, staring at Jenna unblinkingly with his sea-blue eyes.

"I think that kind of criminal law is too pitiful for her. If I can persuade her to give you back the necklace, maybe we can give her a chance."

"..."

His smile and voice seemed to be magical, the rich woman became quiet under his comfort, she couldn't help but nodded, "You're right, I won't get any benefit from letting this maid go to jail, I just can't bear you The necklace that gave me..."

"give it to me."

Diego comforted the rich woman, and after sending Ms. Sansa out of the cubicle, he sat down on the stool at the door of the cage, put his chin in his hands, looked at Jenna who was staring at him with a smile, and then grinned. Lips said.

"Do you regret your choice, dear."

"not at all."

Jenna looked at him expressionlessly, and said coldly, "I guess you want to show off your ability to me? You succeeded, even if you don't have to put all the blame on me after the old rich woman died put me in jail."

"You're a smart girl, but it's a pity you made the wrong decision."

Diego’s smile was still charming, and he spread his hands helplessly, “Why did you betray me for a cowboy? Is it because I’m not good enough for you or he gave you unrealistic promises? Obviously you almost become Mistress of that house, but you rejected me, between flowers and prison, you chose the wrong side."

"Prison and dead bodies on one side, unimaginable success and flowers on the other."

For some reason, Jenna suddenly thought of what the fortune teller had said to her before.The fortune teller told her that she was standing at a crossroads, on a swinging balance, did she choose the wrong answer?

No, she doesn't believe she made the wrong choice!At least she never violated her conscience!

As long as she didn't do anything wrong, she didn't go the wrong way!

"Stop pretending, you bastard."

Jenna stared at him and sneered, "You have been planning to blame me for all the crimes after the rich woman dies. Do you think I really believe your nonsense? But you can still think of buying my family , I really underestimated you too, Diego Brando."

"Oh, pay attention to your language, I wanted to remind you last time, girls don't swear."

He smiled happily, "When I make a decision, I always have a complete plan. You are still too young for this, little Jenna."

"You yourself are much dirtier than dirty words."

Jenna said bluntly, "What are you doing to me now? If it's just to show off the result to me, then you are really boring, I thought you were busy finding a new maid to do these things for you .”

"How come, I have always been a person who likes to give others another chance."

Diego's voice was like molasses, sweet and smooth, and his proposals were sinfully appealing.

"If you promise to be obedient, I'll help you get out of here, how about it? Of course you don't need to poison this time, you just need to do something else to make everything an accident."

"Do you think I'll be fooled?"

Jenna has already seen through Diego's thoughts, and the fate of the tiger's skin is self-evident. She raised her middle finger at him and said, "I will never go with you even if I am in prison. Go eat shit, Diego!"

"Then you're going to spend the rest of your life in prison."

Jenna always had a reticent attitude, and Diego's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Your last chance is gone. Since you are not satisfied with me, I hope those hooligans in the prison can have fun with you. I'm leaving, bye."

He stood up and looked at Jenna angrily again. When Diego was about to turn around and leave, the security officer who had arrested Jenna suddenly rushed into the cell.

"Sorry to disturb you, sir." The security officer greeted Diego.

"It's okay, I just chatted with this lady. After all, she has worked for us for so long, and I don't want to believe that she is that kind of person."

Diego said with a soft sigh, and the security officer's expression became a little embarrassed.

"That's right, sir..."

The security officer ignored Diego, looked at Jenna with complicated eyes, and quickly announced, "...you have been released, miss."

"what?!"

Diego froze for a moment. He looked at the security officer in disbelief, but the other party just announced calmly, "...This is what Mr. President means. Mr. President is willing to vouch for this lady. She must go back immediately. work. As for your wife's missing necklace, we will continue to investigate."

Then the security officer bowed his head to Jenna with great reluctance, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "... I hope you can accept my apology, miss."
