After she arrived at the nearest police station, she told the police officer about the situation in detail. When she was done, she even said while feeling slightly sorry," Actually, I can't be sure that he is a scammer who specializes in tricking women who live alone. I have no evidence a s well. I am just going with my instinct. Also, some of his actions made me feel that we should take precautions. Don't blame m e If I've made the wrong judgment. I mean n o harm. I just wanted to let many women who live alone like me and those women who are rather lonely in life be more cautious. I apologize in advance if I've misjudged him and he did not have ulterior motives like I think he did. As for how you're going to investigate him, that’s your business."
Gloria was incredibly sincere and honest when she said that. After that, she was going to get up and leave. However, she did not expect that the police officer in charge of entertaining her would get up, shake her hand, and say to her, "Madam, you're really something."
Gloria was stunned at that time. "Huh?"
"It's very rare to see people like you who are responsible, clear-headed, not reckless, not impulsive, and also brave in this society nowadays. You're really incredible. You may not know about this, but we have also already been watching this man named James Dunn for a very long time. The reason we have not moved in on him was that we have no concrete evidence yet. There were a few women who had already reported him before you, but all of them were unable to produce any strong evidence. This person is very cunning. He never leaves behind any substantial evidence.
"Also, he had also been successful with every woman that he had tricked. Those women loved his gentle sweet talks, and then they were slowly lured into his trap. A t first, they were in too deep that they couldn't help themselves. By the time they realized they had been tricked, they had already lost both their money and themselves. Also, it is out of their own free will that they had given him everything without realizing it. Do you know what those criminal organizations call this? Lying in wait to slaughter the pig. They would first fatten the pig up and then slaughter it without it noticing.
"If I had guessed it right, then you, Miss Shaw, are very likely to be the next target that had been locked on by James, as well a s the organization behind him. The first step was for James to appear and approach you to slowly gain your trust. He would sweet-talk you and coax you in every way, and he'll use all kinds of methods to make you happy and gradually fall for him until you can't leave him. After that, the next step would begin. Little by little, he'll slowly get money from you. You may not even notice it after he had cheated you out of all your money. It's just that this man never expected that you were already so alert when he had just started to approach you. Good for you, Madam."
Gloria was very proud. "Thank you. It's fine. I still know how to handle such a person. I won't let him cheat me out of a single penny. Not only would I not be tricked by him, but I can even act in such a way that h e could never tell that I already knew he is a scammer. He wanted to cheat my money and he wanted to slaughter me like a pig. However, I will let him know that he himself is the foolish pig! Sir, is there anything that I can help with? I am very willing to do anything. I am happy to be able to help you. We can capture this organization together so that they will not b e able to harm other women in the future. Women in this world who live alone like m e are already pitiful enough, to begin with. I f they cheated out of their money and emotions, then they would be even more pitiful. Some of them may even lose their confidence to live."
The police did not ask Gloria to work with them. After all, they were afraid that she would be in danger.
