NovelAppScarlett smiled, "Yes. Since you don't believe me, we'd better leave this matter to the police." Petrine, who threatened to kill herself with a pen in her hand, was dumbfounded.
'What Scarlett is up to?’ "Why would she call the police?" If the police intervened in this matter, then wouldn't those contraband drugs in Petrine's hand, and the dealings she did before, be dug up? Jeralso froze. Just a moment ago, he was still fascinated with Scarlett's beauty. On hearing the police was coming, he was scared. He hurriedly walked up to his father and tugged Jadon's sleeve," Dad, | think we should not make a big deal out of this. We'll find other ways to deal with her later..." Jadon didn't know about the things Jerand Petrine did before, but he couldn't stand to lose his face. Today he cin person to handle such a family scandal just to try to keep it from the public. However, Scarlett didn't play by the rules. She didn't take threats from him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, Scarlett had called the police. How would the Hudson family bear the humiliation if the matter was blown open? He didn't like Petrine in the first place, but Jerwas fond of her, and the rest of the family kind of liked her. So he agreed to Jermarrying this woman.
With such a scandal, Jadon would not let Petrine stay i n the family anymore. This the would take whatever chis way. He got ways to retaliate later. There was no need to go to the police.
At the time, several policemen cin, "Hello, | am Dan Forest, the deputy captain of the police station of the south division of the town. We received a report that someone was raped in the hotel. Who made the call?" Scarlett stepped forward. "I made the call." Hearing the word "rape," Jadon's face changed color. " Officer, it's a mischarge." "A mischarge?" The officer frowned and looked at Scarlett. Then Scarlett briefed the whole story to the officer, "Mr. Hudson insisted that it was our hotel's fault that caused this lady being sexually harassed by this man." "What are you babbling about! We were in an impulsive mood. Who said | harassed her?" Jerpanicked, and Jadon didn't expect the matter would cthis far.
The officer looked at Jerome, "Whether it was rape or not, we'll have to go to the police station and do an investigation to make things clear!" "It was a mischarge!" How could Jadon let this matter be turned to the police? So he hurriedly tugged Rosen. Rosen plucked a t Petrine’s sleeve. "Say something! We'll discuss how t o solve the matter when we get back!" Petrine didn't want to go to the police either. Though reluctant as she was, in the current situation, she could only speak up, "It's a mischarge, officer. He didn't harass me." The officer asked again, "Don't be afraid of their threats! Tell the truth! Did this man engage in sexual harassment or not? We will definitely give you justice!" "No! He's my brother-in-law!" The police officers all paled slightly at Petrine's words.
Jadon gave a hard glare at Scarlett, but Scarlett stood there with a smile on her face, and the expression on her face was calm.
Everyone in the Hudson family was pissed off, but there was nothing they could do about Scarlett.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJadon had never met a woman like Scarlett. At his age, he couldn't believe that he had to surrender to this young woman.
Jadon was furious. "Ms. Reed, if | hear one word about this matter in other people's mouth, I'll cback to you." Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "I always have my rules." Then she glanced toward Petrine.
Petrine stiffened. Her dealings had almost gotten exposed. If she was taken to the police station, then she would be screwed.
Jadon choked on his words, "Hmph!" Then he swept away. The others followed him and left.
Scarlett curled the corners of her lips. She said to the hotel manager, "Okay, I'm leaving. Callif you need anything." "I'll walk you out, Ms. Reed." "Thanks. But there's no need." Scarlett didn't like to be escorted by others, so the manager watched her leave on her own.
The Hudson family was waiting for the elevator. Scarlett was going to take the private elevator, but she saw Raymond just as she walked out of the office.
Jadon had met Raymond several times. He was surprised to see Raymond here, and his anger even dissipated a bit. He went up to Raymond and talked to him. In no more than a few minutes, however, Raymond interrupted him, "Sorry, Mr. Hudson, | have a n appointment with a friend." Jadon's lips twitched. He couldn't say anything more. He could only smile and nod his head, "Mr. Shaw, see you later."
