Chapter 23

The officers led Alexander and Roselyn to the police station. Alexander attempted to reason with them, explaining that this entire ordeal was simply a ridiculous misunderstanding.

"Officers, I assure you, this is all a colossal mistake; I'm Alexander Valtor, the esteemed CEO of Valtor Enterprises, and this lovely woman beside me, despite her current inebriated state, is my wife, Roselyn Valtor."

However, Roselyn, still under the influence and belligerent, vehemently countered, "No, no, no! He's blatantly lying! He pilfered my star, the scoundrel! He's a deceitful star-thief, I tell you!"

The officers exchanged amused, knowing glances, clearly entertained by the absurdity unfolding before them.

"Sir, would you be so kind as to produce your identification, please?" One officer requested, his tone laced with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Ah, I... uh...have forgotten my ID in my room, a careless oversight, I assure you."

The officer raised a dubious eyebrow.
