“She’s lying. Everyone in the bar saw it. She splashed the sulphuric acid at me.” I explain.
“But we did ask the crowd and everyone also said that the sulphuric acid bottle was originally in your
hands. Furthermore, where you were was at a blind spot and the security cameras didn’t capture the
altercation.” The policeman looks at me sternly and with disdain.
I’m thinking that he must be believing Whitney’s version of what happened. After all, a pitiful looking
woman can easily convince strangers.
At this moment I realize a very severe problem. It is easy to do evil deeds when a person is rich.
Whitney must have given money to the bystanders and that is why all the witnesses’ statements are
now against me.
“Sulphuric acid is a dangerous item. You must be prosecuted for having it in your possession.”
Although one must not fear if one is righteous, I start to panic at that moment.
I turn my head to look for Steven for advice only to see that he is no longer there. I don’t even know
where did he go.
At that moment, Whitney comes out from the interrogation room and looks complacently at me.
Although Whitney has some psychological issues, she still has clarity of thought. Since she has plans
to attack me, she must have her alibi and defense ready.
“According to law, we need to detain you for the moment.” The policeman says solemnly and officially.
“Evil deeds will not go unpunished. You had done so many evil things and this is your retribution.”
Whitney isn’t concerned about the presence of the policeman and scoffs at me.
At this moment, Steven walks from behind Whitney, and beside him is a middle-aged man in uniform.
The man looks influential and must be someone of authority.
True enough, he walks towards the policeman and speaks to him. That policeman looks at me and
stutters, “But…”
“Say no more, release her.” That middle-aged man says.
Whitney’s face is full of surprise and is about to say something but eventually swallows her words.
I know that Steven manages to help me. Regardless of what method, the policeman will no longer
detain me at the police station. But I cannot stomach the injustice for Whitney to escape prosecution.
Steven signals to me with his gaze and I follow him out with Whitney closely behind.
As we walk out the entrance, Whitney shouts at me and coldly says, “Jane, this time you are unscathed
but next time you will not be so lucky.”
After saying this, she gets into an awaiting car and speeds off.
I am in a daze and say to Steven, “Whitney will not let this matter rest. I also can’t let her continue with
her aggression. I need to think of a way out.”
“But there is nothing that we can do without any evidence. Rest assured that I will not let you be
harmed.”
“Even if I’m not harmed, others will be harmed. I don’t want anyone else to be harmed because of me.”
I say softly.
Steven doesn’t say anything else other than sending more men to protect me. But it is clear to me that
this is not a long-term solution.
I hear that although Frances wins the lawsuit concerning his divorce with Whitney, Whitney wins
custody of the child. However, it looks like Frances isn’t concern about the child and comes to look for
me after a couple of days.
I see Frances standing by the door after throwing out the rubbish.
I pretend not to see him and walk up the stairs but he pulls me aside takes something and slides it onto
my finger.
I look down and realize that the thing Frances slides onto my finger is a ring!
Is he crazy?
I don’t understand Frances’ intentions and use my strength to flick my hand and the ring falls onto the
ground and rolls to Frances’ feet.
His expression darkens and he picks up the ring and slides it onto my finger again without saying a
word.
“Frances, are you crazy?” I cannot endure it any longer and shout at him.
“Have you forgotten what you agreed? As long as I divorced Whitney, you will agree to marry me.”
Frances says solemnly.
