"W—Wait, this is unfair!" Mary yelled. She took a step back as she wanted to avoid the handcuff. "K—Kate told me to sell everything! I'm just doing what she wants me to do!"
"You keep changing your alibi. You said everything is yours, then it's Hilda who told you to sell these, and now it's Kate's order? It would be best to keep a linear alibi in the police station later," Bernard said while unlocking the handcuff.
Mary was so scared. She was an old woman with a clean record. She had a few offenses, but never enough to warrant her arrest.
If she got arrested and jailed, what would the neighbors say about her?! They would be gossiping about the old lady who was a thief!
Bernard was about to grab her hand, and she pulled it immediately. She then turned around and ran as fast as she could.
