In response to the police officer’s inquiry, Old Lady Wilson nodded firmly and gritted her teeth, “Yes, it’s two hundred!”


    The constable could hardly believe his ears at that moment.


    “A woman residing in one of Thompson First’s prestigious vis is calling the police over two hundred dors? Something doesn’t add up…”


    Reflecting on this, he wondered, “Could it be that wealthy individuals perceive money differently, equating two million to just two hundred? At thest ss reunion, a ssmate who had be quite rich did something simr when discussing his luxury car; he imed it was just over five hundred when it was clearly a Rolls Royce worth more than five million. Is this amon trait among the affluent?”


    However, as he pondered further, he found himself puzzled. “This Lady is worth over a hundred million. Even if she lost two million, would she really be this distressed?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He then looked at Lady Wilson again and asked, “Excuse me, ma’am, to rify, you’re saying your daughter-inw, Hannah, took two hundred from you. This two hundred refers to two million, correct?”


    “No,” Lady Wilson insisted. “It’s two hundred, cash—just two hundred!”


    “Huh?!” The jaws of several police officers dropped in disbelief.


    The officer in charge stammered, “Ma’am, your eldest daughter-inw took two hundred dors from you, and you’re calling the police to arrest her for that?”


    Lady Wilson’s eyebrows shot up in disbelief. “What? No! She stole my hard-earned money, and I can’t call the police?”


    The lead officer replied awkwardly, “Well, technically, yes, but I must inform you about a basic legal principle. ording to our country’sws, theft is defined by the amount involved. To be considered theft, the amount must reach a certain threshold.”<fn1da5> ?????? ???? F?ndNovel</fn1da5>


    He continued to exin, “This threshold for what is categorized as arge amount lies between one thousand and three thousand dors. If it doesn’t meet this standard, we can’t pursue criminal charges.”


    Lady Wilson frowned in frustration. “What on earth! She’s stealing my hard-earned money! Do you realize I worked all day yesterday to earn a hundred dors? I got pped in the face and someone else paid me another hundred! This two hundred is meant for our family’s dumplings on New Year’s Eve!”


    The police officer was taken aback, thinking, “Is this Lady serious? She lives in avish house and is calling the police over $200? And this $200 is from a part-time job and a p? No ordinary person would be this desperate, especially not someone in her position. It’s baffling!”


    Despite his confusion, he patiently exined, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but thew explicitly states that if the amount stolen is just two hundred dors, we can’t file a case. We can only document it for you. Ifter on, there are more developments that meet the filing criteria, we can assist you in recovering your losses.”


    Lady Wilson quickly replied, “Oh, wait! I must have remembered incorrectly! She didn’t steal two hundred from me; she actually stole two thousand!”


    The officer replied awkwardly, “The amount she allegedly stole will determine how we proceed. Even if you now im it’s two thousand, if we file a case andter discover you were lying, you could be held legally responsible.”


    He added, “And just to rify, even if it reaches two thousand dors, it would result in control, not detention. Do you understand what that means? Control involves limitations on personal freedom, likemunity service, and you may be required to stay within Aurous Hill or your vi’s street.”


    “What?!” Lady Wilson eximed incredulously. “You’re far too lenient! This is theft!”


    The officer sighed, feeling helpless. “Listen, ma’am, theft is indeed a crime, but whether it warrants pursuit is another matter. If a student reported that their ssmate stole an eraser worth a dor, would we really go out and arrest someone? It just wouldn’t make sense.”
