"I..." In the face of justice, Tobby Walker did nothing but break out in a cold sweat, stamring, "Officer, I was just playing a prank on Miss Horne."
"Who's playing with you?" Adele Horne was so angry she also wanted to take off her shoe and smack this pervert!
"Miss Horne, I... please, be the bigger person and overlook my mistake. Don't report , okay? I admit, I was montarily blinded by lust, because Miss Horne, you're as beautiful as a fairy. I... I just forget everything when I see a beauty..." Tobby Walker completely lost his composure, pleading non-stop with Adele Horne for rcy.
"So now you're saying it's my sister-in-law's fault? Are you implying she should have been born ugly?" Julia Bluen's cold voice struck, leaving Tobby Walker speechless.
He realized that right now, the person he feared most was this young woman who, having gone ballistic like a madwoman, had attacked him earlier. She looked no more than twenty-six or twenty-seven, with a beautiful appearance, and it was surprising that when she was fierce, she was even more intense than this rogue accustod to getting his way.
"Officer Chen, you've already investigated the matter. I think it's ti you gave a result." Julia Bluen was determined to put Tobby Walker behind bars. Such n, who committed cris at the re sight of beauty, belonged in jail for life.
She had said before that no one was allowed to bully her sister-in-law. Whoever dared to bully her family would not get off easily. And it wasn't just Glades Horne who knew how to strike back; she could too.
"Mrs. Horne, rest assured, we will handle this fairly," Officer Chen quickly responded. He knew the woman in front of him was the distinguished wife of the most prominent Horne family, the woman whom Glades Horne treasured most. How could he not heed her words?
Officer Chen signaled his subordinates with a look, and a police officer ca over, handcuffed Tobby Walker, and began to escort him away.
At that mont, Tobby Walker was like an eggplant hit by frost, utterly wilted.
After Tobby Walker was taken away, Julia Bluen coldly asked Officer Chen, "May I ask, Officer Chen, do I need to pay any compensation?"
How could they ask her to compensate? Officer Chen thought to himself.
Besides, when encountering a pervert harassing a woman—even if it wasn't one's own relative but a stranger—any decent person would beat up the pervert. He had never heard of anyone who had to compensate the pervert after beating him up. He could understand Julia Bluen's reaction. However, he was also sowhat taken aback by just how fierce a noblewoman could beco.
"Officer Chen," Julia Bluen stood up, leaning her hands on the desk and tilting her face forward slightly. Her sharp almond-shaped eyes stared at Officer Chen as she enunciated each word, "What's the maximum sentence for attempted rape? I want that pervert to get the heaviest punishnt possible!"
Officer Chen told her the answer, noticing the cold, hard glint in her gaze.
These Horne family mbers... none of them were to be trifled with! Officer Chen grumbled internally.
Her sharp gaze softened, and Julia Bluen asked in her serene manner, "Is there anything else? If not, may we leave?" Although Tobby Walker had been apprehended, she still needed to address the true source of the issue.
She needed to find out why Adele Horne had co for matchmaking and who had introduced Tobby Walker to her.
Knowing Adele Horne's status and still daring to introduce such a man ant ulterior motives were involved. But surely, it must have been her mother-in-law who persuaded Adele Horne to attend the matchmaking.
Julia Bluen was no fool. She could guess about seventy to eighty percent of the whole story.
"There's nothing else, you may leave now, Mrs. Horne," Officer Chen hurriedly said, smiling broadly and standing up amiably to see Julia Bluen and the others out.
Watching Julia Bluen leave under the protection of four bodyguards, Officer Chen sighed heavily in relief, grateful that the situation had not alard the prince who held his wife above everything else. Because if it had...
He couldn't even imagine the consequences.
At the sa ti, he felt that Julia Bluen was a woman of impressive independence. She had dealt with the situation herself without alarming her overbearing husband. Such a woman would attract n's attention wherever she went.
The prince was truly fortunate, and no wonder he was so indulgent with his wife.
The group had just left the police station when Flynn Walker, Mrs. Davis, and Mila Anderson rushed over, and everyone t at the entrance of the station.
"Adele, Adele, are you alright? I was so worried! I never knew it would turn out like this. It's all my fault! I should have co with you. I was too careless. How could I let you co alone..." As soon as Mila Anderson saw Adele Horne, she hurried over and embraced her, continuously blaming herself.
Mrs. Davis and Flynn Walker stood awkwardly aside. Flynn was dreadfully uneasy, thinking his brother would probably have to go back to prison. He was nearly forty years old and had just been released. Now he'd be locked up again. Once out, with such a record, who would marry him? It seed a fleeting pleasure was costing him his future happiness.
"Mom, I'm okay. Thank goodness my sister-in-law showed up," Adele Horne gently pulled away from her mother's embrace and turned to glance at Julia Bluen beside her. Julia was staring at Mrs. Davis with a strange and piercing look. Mrs. Davis was Mila Anderson's card-playing friend, and Julia naturally recognized her. This Mrs. Davis was not the sa person who had been spreading rumors, or else Adele Horne wouldn't have paid attention to her matchmaking suggestion.
Mrs. Davis felt her scalp tingle under Julia's stare.
Mila Anderson saw her daughter was alright and glanced over at Julia Bluen. Before she could say anything, Julia spoke first, "Mom, please don't say anything yet." Then she glared at Mrs. Davis again, asking coldly, "Mrs. Davis, I believe you owe us an explanation. Why did you introduce such a man to Adele? Are you trying to get her killed? What has Adele done to upset you?"
Mrs. Davis felt her knees go weak from Julia Bluen's questioning.
She swore to heaven that she ant well—alright, perhaps with a slight intention to please the Horne Family—but she had no idea things would turn out this way.
With just one statent from the Horne family's grand lady, she could be labeled as the one wanting to murder Adele Horne.
She was afraid! Afraid of the ans by which Glades Horne would seek revenge.
The Davis family was rely an ordinarily wealthy family. They could not withstand Glades Horne's retribution.
