462 Karma Arrives Too Late

Emily’s list wasn’t long; it was actually shorter than a typical grocery receipt. But because each item was a luxury good, each price was substantial. Among the items was a Prada men’s leather bag valued at $10,000, a Gucci coat, and a men’s watch. In total, there were only about six or seven items, but with invoices intact, the cost amounted to over $100,000.

The female officer was stunned. “If the damage value is this high, it’s no longer a simple five-day detention.”

Emily gave a light smile. “Those are just Bert’s belongings. I also bought a few items for Bert to give as gifts to neighbors. They’re not as expensive, but in total, they’re worth around $10,000. The fire didn’t just burn down Bert’s house; it damaged neighboring properties as well. Their walls and windowsills were affected. I’ll check with the neighbors about their losses and bring it over.”

This new figure surprised Carol as well. “That could add up to $400,000?”
