I Was Single Until A Restaurant Handed Me My Mother In Law’s Debt Chapter 05

The moment I finished speaking, Zoey’s face turned pale.

At the same time, I took out my phone and handed it directly to the police. “Officer, I started recording video before Zoey came into the private dining room.”

“This video should have captured the whole thing.”

Hearing that, Zoey’s face went even paler. She wanted to rush forward and grab my phone, but one look at the officers stopped her.

She could only stand there, not daring to say another reckless word.

When the officers heard there was video evidence, they immediately became serious.

They checked the recording right away.

The video played everything from the moment Zoey entered the private dining room to the very

end.

After watching it, the officers turned and stared at Zoey.

They had clearly realized how wrong the situation was.

“A restaurant this large, and all your security cameras just happen to be down?”

The officer fixed his eyes on Zoey and spoke coldly.

Zoey’s face was pale, and her body was trembling nonstop.

She said nervously, “Yes… They just happened to break this morning.”

“This bill is from noon today, and Ms. Carter came to dinner tonight. You believed that woman was

Ms. Carter’s mother-in-law just because she said so?”

The officers looked at the bill and continued, “Besides, even if that were true, Ms. Carter already said she would stay here and wait for us to arrive.”

“You detained everyone here. And what gives you the right to seize other people’s property?”

The officers’ string of questions drained all color from Zoey’s face.

She stammered and could not say anything at all.

At that exact moment, I spoke up. “Zoey.”

“You said that woman claimed to be my mother-in-law, and that I often came to this restaurant

with her.”

“Do you have proof?”

“You said your cameras broke this morning. What about before that?”

“Where’s the proof that I ever ate here with her?”

The moment I finished speaking, Zoey fell silent.

“I have proof!”

Suddenly, Zoey shouted, “She gave me a phone number. I can call that number. She definitely knows you.”

I frowned slightly when I heard that.

If Zoey had the woman’s phone number from the very beginning, why had she not produced it

earlier?

Why was she only telling me now that she had the woman’s number?

At that moment, I stared at Zoey and could not shake the feeling that she was hiding something.

Her behavior was far too abnormal.

Even the officers had clearly noticed it.

We all waited for Zoey to produce her so-called evidence.

Soon, Zoey pulled up a number I did not recognize and called it.

The moment the call connected, I heard a voice come through from the other end.

“Hello, are you Ms. Carter’s mother-in-law?”

Zoey immediately asked the person on the line.

The person on the other end paused noticeably before saying, “Yes.”

“I’m Claire Carter’s mother-in-law. Who are you?”

“Hello, ma’am. You dined at our restaurant this afternoon and spent $30,000.”

“Ms. Carter says you are not her mother-in-law, so we had no choice but to call you.”

Zoey deliberately sounded wronged as she said, “Ms. Carter is right beside me now. You can speak

to her yourself.”

After Zoey finished speaking, many people turned to look at me. After all, she had made the call, so could the voice on the other end really be my mother-in-law?

Only I knew I did not have a mother-in-law at all. I spoke directly toward the phone and asked, “Who are you?”

“I don’t have a mother-in-law.”
