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.”
