Amber looked at the man's firm and serious expression and nodded subconsciously, "I believe you."

Jared grabbed her into his arms, "Trust me, babe. I will not let you down."

"I do." Amber nodded again, wrapping her arms around Jared's back.

Jared rubbed the crevice of her neck, "Have you called the police about the robbery?"

"I did." Speaking of serious matters, Amber's expression immediately became tense. Her eyebrows slightly frowned, "I called the police right after the gown was robbed, and they sent someone to chase the clues I provided. They told me that they would call me as soon as they catch the bad buys. But I haven't heard from them yet since hours ago."

This made her, not only a little disappointed.

Jared's eyes narrowed, "If it was just any ordinary robber, it'd be impossible for the police to not catch anyone by now. Now that they haven't caught anyone yet, which means these are organized robbers with specific plans and motives. It's going to be challenging to locate them. Don't worry about it though, babe. Leave it to me, and I will handle it."

"How are you going to..."

Before Amber could finish her words, her cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting her next words.

At first, Amber frowned, then she and Jared both looked at the coffee table.

Her cell phone was on the coffee table.

Amber's eyes lit up immediately, "It is the police calling."

A surprised smile appeared on her face, "Jared, the police is calling. They must have caught the bad guy and found the suit and gown."

Looking at her happy face, Jared Farrell's frown slightly loosened, "That's good news! Pick up, babe."

"Right." Amber nodded, then grabbed the phone and answered, "Hello."

"Hi, Ms. Reed." A rough male voice came from the phone.

Amber Reed heard it, and realized it was the same police officer who had answered her call when the accident happened.

Amber held her phone tightly and answered immediately, "Hi. Did you catch the robber and find my clothes?"

However, there was only silence on the other end of the phone.

It made Amber's heart froze for a while, and she had a bad premonition, which made the smile on her face slowly solidify, and finally disappeared. Jared looked at her reaction, his eyes narrowed, "What's wrong?"

Amber shook her head at him, indicating that she did not know.

Afterward, Amber hurriedly asked the phone again, "Officer, can you please answer my question? Did you find my gown?"

The person on the other end of the phone finally responded, but sighed, "Ms. Reed, I'm sorry, we did catch the person, but the dress..."

Amber bit her lip, "What do you mean? Was the dress not found?"

Was the dress already sold by the robber already?

"We found your dress, but something unexpected happened to it." On the phone, the police looked at the suit and gown in front of them and shook his head helplessly, "Anyway, Ms. Reed, please be prepared and come to the police station to handle the procedure. As for the condition of your clothes, it's better we speak in person."

Hearing what the police said, Amber's heart sank. She squeezed a smile on her face, and said, "Okay, I will be right there."

After the call ended, she slowly took the phone from her ear.

Jared Farrell looked at her and asked, "Did they find your dress?"

"They did." Amber frowned, "But the police said something had happened to the dress."

At first, she thought that the police's refraining attitude was because the dress was still missing.

But now that they found it, what had happened to it?

Amber bit her lip, expressing some confusion.

Jared stroked his chin for a moment, "Was it broken?"

Hearing Jared's random guess, Amber's eyes widened immediately, "It's not... impossible."

The police specially mentioned that they found the dress, but there was something wrong.

The problem with a piece of clothing was either that it got broken or got dirty.

So, what the police didn't say on the phone must be either of these two.

Thinking of this, Amber's heart sank, frowned.

Jared reached out his hand and smoothed her eyebrows with his thumb, "Don't frown, babe. You are looking like an old lady now. If it's broken, I will get you a new one."

"Stop it." Amber clapped his hand down, a little annoyed. She bit her lip, "Whether it's ruined or not, I have to see for it myself. I've told the police that I would be going over soon. Wait for me at home, and I will be back soon."

"I will go with you." Jared held her hand, "I've got your back, babe. There's no reason for you to go alone. Of course I will be there with you. I am your man."

Amber looked at her hand clasped with his fingers and smiled, "Okay, let's go together."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly growled twice.

Jared heard it and frowned. "You didn't have dinner?"

Amber touched her stomach with one hand and nodded slightly, "No."

Jared's frown deepened. "But why?"

"The dress was taken, and the robber was running - the dress has not been found. I was not in the mood to eat." She looked up at him and explained. Jared's thin lips pursed into a straight line, "Even so, you should eat a little bit. Why are you starving yourself?"

Amber smiled, "It was just once. It's fine."

"No, it's not fine. Let's go grab a bite now first before we head to the police station. You can't starve yourself." Jared said so, releasing her hand.

Amber looked at him, "If we wait until we finish eating, then it's going to be much later. I don't want to prolong this."

Jared was silent for a few seconds, then a random thought came to his mind, so he rubbed her hair, "Then we will grab something with us and eat in the car. Is there anything in the refrigerator we can bring along?"

"There is some frozen pizza, but it still needs to be heated." Amber Reed thought and replied.

She knew that once Jared had made a decision, it would be difficult to change his mind.

If she didn't eat something, he would rather not let her go to the police station.

So, she just answered honestly.

When Jared heard that there was convenient food to eat in the car, he nodded with satisfaction, "Just sit over there and wait for me, and I'll heat the pizza for you."

Saying so, he took off his jacket and wore only a black shirt, revealing his perfect figure.

Then Jared tugged the tie around his neck again, took it off and threw it over on the sofa, and started to unbutton the cuff-links on his wrist.

His unbuttoning movement was slow, and while he was extravagant, he also had a touch of color and anger, which made Amber unable to take her eyes off him.

Seeing that Amber's eyes fixated on him, Jared's thin lips twitched, and then the movement of unbuttoning got even slower.

He could've solved in one minute, but he deliberately prolonged it on for three minutes.

After the cuff-links were undone, Jared slowly pulled the sleeves up, revealing his muscular and sexy forearms.

Seeing these two forearms took Amber back to those memorable nights when her body was too tired to move, and these strong forearms held her up.

As if she could feel the strength of these forearms now.

Ahem, what were you thinking, Amber Reed?

Come on, what was the matter with you?
