She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554: Nora's Mysterious Smile

Danielle was captured as the culprit. Finally realizing the severity of the situation, she started to feel afraid. She sobbed heavily, playing the victim.

In her mind, she schemed, thinking that as long as she firmly claimed that the deceased had provoked her first, and her brother greased a few palms here and there, they could close the case using the defense of "excessive self-defense."

"It's not my fault. She insulted me first. Yes, she started the verbal abuse..."

"If it weren't for her vulgar language, I wouldn't have hit her! Why would I target her with so many people around?"

With reddened eyes, she defended herself pitifully, and public opinion started to shift towards her.

Jerry had been listening nearby all along and witnessed the entire incident.

As a witness, he took a brave step forward and declared loudly, "I testify that this girl merely stated the fact that the Parry family is on the verge of bankruptcy. It was her who initiated the violence."

Many people actually witnessed it, but they were afraid of the Parry family's influence, so they didn't dare to stand up.

Now that Jerry took the lead, others naturally followed and spoke up for justice.

"Yes, I saw it too!"

"Me too!"

"I can testify."

...

More and more people voiced their support for the deceased, most of them being unrelated strangers.

Meanwhile, the two friends who had badmouthed her earlier had long since run away.

This is the true side of human nature - often, so-called friends are not as reliable as strangers when it matters most.

With both eyewitness and testimonial evidence, Danielle couldn't escape this time.

The silver handcuffs fell onto her wrists, and Danielle, who had been arrogant just moments ago, suddenly froze.

Her brain crashed, leaving her in a state of blankness.

By the time she regained her senses, she was already being escorted into the police car.

Finally feeling fear, tears fell from her eyes like golden beans.

While crying, she foolishly threatened the police officers, "No! I didn't really kill her. It was her own misfortune, unable to stand steadily!"

"Don't arrest me! I am the lady of the Parry family. You can't treat me like this. Believe me, I could make you get fired."

Since Gordon became the chief of police, the entire department had improved its ethics and became unafraid of the powerful, showing a tough stance from top to bottom.

Danielle's grandiose words didn't impress them.

"Alright then, even if we lose our jobs, the fact remains that Danielle, you should face legal consequences. Please come with us."

She was escorted into the car.
