“I-It’s a female client who commissioned me. She asked me to threaten this girl named Ellen and gave me three thousand.” “What’s her name?” Jared’s black pupils were filled with anger.
“S-Selena Aguirre.” The man had no choice but to answer. He had seen Selena privately, and Selena told him her real name as well.
Hearing that, Jared gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect that Selena would still not give up and dare to use such a despicable method to harm Ellen.
“I’m sorry. I’m just an amateur. I was originally a programmer. H-I promise not to do it again. Please let me go!” The middle-aged man immediately begged for mercy.
However, how could Jared let him go? If he let him go, how could he track down Selena and make her pay the price? “You will pay for your actions.” He coldly snorted.
15 minutes later, the police arrived and arrested the man on charges of harassment, confiscating all his equipment. His name was Toby Fletcher. He was unemployed, so he chose to do illegal deals to make a living.
The police’s next target for arrest was Selena. Jared reported to the police on behalf of Ellen and provided the harassing messages she had been receiving in the past two days.
At this time, Selena was still staying in the hotel since she had no intention of returning to her parents’ home.
She was playing with her phone in the hotel room when someone suddenly rang her doorbell. Immediately, she went to the door and saw that it was the cleaning staff. So, she reached out to open the door.
Just as she was about to invite the staff in to clean her room, three police officers suddenly appeared behind the staff. Without a word, they handcuffed her.
“W-What are you doing?” Terrified, she started struggling. “Selena Aguirre, you are suspected of criminal behavior, and we have the right to arrest you.”
“What? I didn’t commit any crime. This is a mistake!”
The police arrested Selena without hesitation. As they passed through the lobby, she wished she could bury her head in her chest. This was the most panicked moment in her life. What crime did I commit? Did Ellen report me to the police?
At the police station, the police immediately. questioned Selena and Toby. When faced with the recording evidence presented by the police, she was left speechless. She had no idea that Toby had recorded all of their conversations on the phone.
“Do you have anything else to say, Miss Aguirre?” “I-I just thought it was fun. I didn’t know it was a crime. It was a prank, and Ellen is my cousin,” she explained in a panic. “Are you not ashamed to say that you threatened your own cousin?”
“Where’s Ellen? Let me meet her. I want to apologize to her.” She hoped that Ellen would come forward now so that she could be forgiven because her world was crumbling, as being put behind bars was her nightmare.
However, the police told her the harsh reality. “Miss Reiss will not come forward. This case was a commission by the lawyer. You should face the facts now, Miss Aguirre. You must pay the price for your mistakes.”
At once, panic crawled all over her face. Forgetting that she was a criminal, she stood up to grab the police officer’s sleeve. ‘No, no! Please, let me see Ellen! I really need to see her.”
The police immediately pushed her back to her seat without hesitation. “If you continue to obstruct our law enforcement, you will be charged with an additional crime.”
At this moment, Selena was trembling all over. She had only just realized that her mistake could lead to imprisonment. Before this, no matter how bold she was, she had only made minor mistakes. Sh*t! I’ve committed a crime!
“I want to see my parents. Please contact them.’ She pleaded. Of course, it was necessary to inform her family about the situation. Meanwhile, the police took her to a small cell in the detention center.
When Connor received the call from the police, informing him that his daughter had been arrested and was suspected of criminal behavior, he was stunned. He couldn’t believe that his daughter, whom he had sent to study abroad, would break the law.
“Okay, okay, I’ll be there soon. I’m coming right now.” He was so shocked that he couldn’t speak properly. After he hung up the phone, he called out to Olivia, “We need to go to the police station in the city.”
“What for?” Olivia was taken aback. “Lena has been arrested for breaking the law,” he answered anxiously. “What? Lena broke the law? What did she do?” Likewise, she was also so shocked that she didn’t know what to do for a moment. Immediately, she grabbed her bag and left with her husband.
The couple stood by the roadside waiting for a car when Connor saw an acquaintance. So, her asked the acquaintance to give them a ride since he happened to be going to the city for something.
On the way, the couple didn’t dare mention why they were going to the city. Olivia was so anxious that her hands were shaking. Lena is my only hope for the rest of my life! If she has any criminal record, how can she get married in the future?
Finally, they arrived at the city center and quickly took a taxi toward the direction of the police station. By the time they arrived, it was already 4.30PM.
“Officer, our daughter is very well-behaved and. obedient. She’s a person who wouldn’t even dare to kill a chicken! How could she commit a crime? Olivia started wiping her tears and talking about her daughter’s good qualities as soon as she saw the police officer.
“Crying here won’t do you any good. The fact remains that she committed a crime. No matter how many good things you say about her, it’s useless. Besides, if she were really a good person, she wouldn’t have malicious harassed her own cousin,” the officer said seriously.
“What? Was my daughter charged with harassment? Did she threaten a woman named Ellen Reiss?” Connor asked hurriedly. “Yes, that’s right. Miss Ellen Reiss.
Your daughter has both witness and material evidence against her, so be mentally prepared,” explained the officer. “Be mentally prepared? For what?” “For your daughter to go to jail.”
“No way! I can’t let my daughter go to jail! She’s so young. She still has so much life ahead of her. She can’t be stuck in jail!” Olivia started. ranting like a madwoman.
Connor, on the other hand, appeared to be calmer. While he was furious with his daughter. for threatening Ellen, he also wanted to protect her reputation and prevent her from having a criminal record.
Soon, the police had a full conversation with the couple and showed them all the evidence of Selena’s criminal activities. During the conversation, Olivia kept crying and secretly. blamed Ellen for everything.
It’s just a few phone calls and some scary pictures. Is Ellen really suing Lena for that? This is so unfair! It’s so obvious that she is being this ruthless to Lena just to play revenge on us.
Regardless of how much they begged, they were unable to see Selena. However, Connor knew what he had to do next. He had to find Ellen and convince her to drop the charges. against his daughter. No matter what, they needed to settle the matter privately to avoid any prison time.
“That little b*tch! We gave her five million. What more does she want? She’s still not sparing us!” As soon as Olivia left the police station, she vented her anger.
Hearing that, Connor turned and glared at her. “Shut up! We still need to beg Ellen now! Lena is just like you, stubborn and refusing to admit her mistakes.”
Suddenly, she felt helpless. Besides her husband, she didn’t have anyone else to rely on. When she was rich, her relatives from her mother’s side kept asking her for money, but she never lent them any.
Eventually, her relatives stopped talking to her altogether. Now, she realized that she had no reliable people to turn to other than her daughter and husband. “I’m just frustrated, Connor. Find a way to save
Lena. She can’t go to jail!”
After Connor left the police station, he immediately took out his phone and dialed Ellen’s number. However, the prompt on the other end said that her phone was turned off.
“Ellen’s phone is off. Who knows where she is. at this time?” He sighed in frustration. “She must have done it on purpose. She just doesn’t want to help us bail out Lena,” she said furiously.
But at this moment, Ellen was resting in Jared’s office. As for her phone, Jared had asked her to turn it off for a few days and gave her a new one with only his number stored in it. If there was anything, she just needed to contact him because there were no good people around her.
However, she knew that Jared had helped her find the culprit and left the matter for the lawyers of the Presgrave Group to handle. She didn’t need to participate, but the culprit would still need to pay the price.
She came out of the room and wanted to go to the washroom. It was not a problem since she was familiar with the place. Just as she entered the washroom cubicle, she heard footsteps coming in. It was two female employees who were chatting as they entered.
“I heard that President Presgrave brought Ellen here. Who would have thought she had such an ability? She actually became President Presgrave’s girlfriend!”
“I’m also puzzled. What did she do to capture President Presgrave’s heart? You know, there are plenty of women out there who are prettier, wealthier, and more accomplished than her. Other than being young and pretty, she seems to have nothing else going for her.”
“I know right! She was just serving tea and coffee when she was working here last time, but she got paid so much and was treated the same as us. This is so unfair!”
“Sigh! Women who rely on their looks to get ahead never end up well. There’s a saying. ‘those who use beauty to win love will lose both beauty and love’. I bet in a few years, President Presgrave will tire of her.”
