NOVPUBChapter 895: 435 Question_2 Chapter 895: 435 Question_2 When Vanessa Aria saw the two police officers, she scoffed coldly, and wrapped her bathrobe unhurriedly.
A wave of anger flashed in her eyes—they truly dared to call the police.
“Romilly Powell, right?” One of the police officers took out his badge and waved it in front of Vanessa Aria.
“Someone reported you for intentional assault, please come with us to the police station for investigations,” the officer stated.
Vanessa Aria brushed back her damp hair, leaning on the doorframe and spoke nonchalantly, “Intentional assault?
I think you must be mistaken, officer.
How can I, a weak and helpless woman, possibly assault someone intentionally?”
The two officers exchanged looks.
...
Based on the surveillance footage, the woman in front of them was anything but weak.
The force with which she assaulted a man with a beer bottle outdid even that of a man.
They couldn’t reconcile the woman in the footage with the one acting coy before them.
“The evidence is conclusive.
No one is above the law,” said the officer, taking out a pair of handcuffs.
If she refused to cooperate, there was no need to save her face.
“Who is your chief?
Have him come to see me,” Vanessa’s gaze turned icy.
The officers were taken aback—she demanded the chief himself come to see her.
They had never met a criminal so arrogant.
Vanessa Aria walked to the sofa, sat down, crossed her legs, picked up her glass of red wine, and swirled it gently.
“You’re not worthy of handcuffing me.
I’m not going anywhere, staying right here and waiting,” she declared indifferently.
Both officers shared a puzzled look, unsure of what to do next.
One of them turned and left to call Madon Linggo to report the situation.
After hanging up the phone, the officer reentered the room, picked up the handcuffs and walked towards Vanessa without another word.
“No suspect has the right to haggle with the police.” He arrested Vanessa under her stunned gaze.
With a ‘clink,’ the wine glass fell to the carpet, splattering Vanessa’s foot with wine.
Vanessa Aria shrieked, “How dare you?
Do you know who I am?
Is your chief seeking death?”
A stern and resolute voice descended from above, unwavering: “No matter who you are, if you violate the law, you will be sanctioned by it.”
The officer handcuffed Vanessa’s wrists and took her out of the hotel amid her strident protests.
Vanessa encountered many onlookers on her way from the room to the police car.
All watched in astonishment.
Some even took out their phones to record the scene.
Vanessa could only bow her head to hide her face, her heart filled with rage.
I’ll return this humiliation a hundredfold, she vowed.
If only Jameson was here, things would be so much easier.
Unfortunately, he happened to be visiting his aunt’s place.
Before Vanessa could make a call, her phone was seized.
“I…” Vanessa opened her mouth, then suddenly, she remembered Peter Aria’s warning.
She remained silent, seething with anger.
Patience, she told herself.
The police will identify her soon enough, then she could settle scores with them.
The police’s efficiency surprised her.
In no time, they were able to verify her identity.
With that, new problems arose.
“What did you say?” Madon Linggo, who was reviewing case files, looked up at the officer reporting to him in surprise.
“The suspect in a recent case of intentional injury has been identified as the mistress of the Arias from Lostswa.
Sergeant Linggo, given the prominent status of the Aria family, what should we do?”
“What should we do? 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
If the evidence is irrefutable, even if she was a princess, she still needs to face legal sanctions,” Madon Linggo waved his hand dismissively.
“For a trivial matter like this, you need to ask me as if you’ve swallowed the Penal Code whole?”
The officer left the room scratching his head.
Madon Linggo gave it some thought before dialing the number of Peter Aria.
“Dr.
Aria, is your sister recently in Pethkids?”
Both were wise men.
Peter Aria got the drift instantly.
He replied with indifference, “Sergeant Linggo, the status of the Aria family’s mistress is not a shield against crime.
We, the Arias, will not nurture a black sheep that crosses the legal line.
Let the law take its course.”
Madon Linggo laughed, “Having heard Dr.
Aria’s statement, I can rest assured.”
He had heard a bit about Vanessa Aria.
Now the situation seemed different from the rumors.
And it appeared that Peter Aria didn’t have any particular affection for her.
“Sergeant Linggo, please dispense justice impartially.
I will cooperate fully if needed.
I have a surgery now, so I’ll hang up.
I’ll invite you for a meal when I’m free.” He hung up before Madon Linggo could reply.
Madon Linggo had a faint smile on his face.
Interesting.
He reviewed the case from start to finish, his gaze finally landing on the surveillance footage.
It depicted the interior of the private room.
Vanessa’s moves in the video didn’t resemble those of an ordinary person, certainly not those of a pampered young mistress like her.
Although heiresses were far from weak, and learned some self-defense techniques, Vanessa’s swift and ruthless movements were more like those of a desperate criminal, starkly contrasting her identity as a delicate lady of the upper class.
