why did the young lady dressed in red threatened to call the police?
Answers
If this chapter is named "A Question of Trust", I can give you the answer. She did not threaten Horace Danby by saying that she would call the police.
Here is your answer:
The young lady did not threaten to call the police because she herself was a thief. She asked Horace to break open the safe and give her all the jewels, saying that she had forgotten the pin to open the safe. Horace opened the safe without his gloves and gave the jewels to the lady who Horace thought was a member of the house he was robbing. As he opened the safe without gloves, he left his fingerprints everywhere and was later caught by the police. But the lady was free and was not arrested.
Answer:
the lady was also a thief she wants to steal the jewels.she was very smart. so, she asked Horace I'll call the police if u run. actually her plan was to steal jewels by tricking Horace.
