After listening to Joanna's statement, the police cast a serious look at Alice and asked, "Is what she said true?"
Alice's face paled, and she vigorously waved her hands in denial. "No, I didn't. She slandered me and threw my stuff out. She is the criminal here. You should arrest her, not me!"
"You know clearly if I slandered you or not."
Joanna's pretty face was expressionless as she spoke with logic and clarity. "As owner of this property. I have the right to handle any item in the house. Your words have just proved that you trespassed. And one more thing, the items in the baggage you stole are very valuable. Add that into the charges, and you're looking at at least three years behind bars!"
"What nonsense!"
Alice hurriedly defended herself and said, "There are only a few pieces of garments in the baggage, and they are not branded anyway. I bet they are worth less than two thousand. How can it be worth so much!"
