It seemed that the handcuffs on James' hands were about to smash into Gloria's head, but Gloria sneered. She did a split and she immediately became shorter. She then leaned forward, and so James missed and fell on the floor. He knocked himself with his handcuffs and his front teeth fell out.
Gloria got up calmly and looked at James." Do you think I have been dancing and exercising for nothing? I forgot to tell you that I used to be a beggar and a homeless woman for many years in the past, and I have often met wild dogs, homeless men, and so on. When those wild dogs attacked me, what I did best was to run away and hide. When those homeless men wanted to take advantage of me, I would fight them. I have never lost to them before. James Dunn, you want to fight with me? I'm sorry, but you're still more than a decade too young for that!"
"Scammer! You're a scammer! I have been so good to you. I have almost poured all my heart and soul into you. It turned out that you are a scammer!" James was still saying the same thing as if he had gone insane.
It was human nature for everyone to overlook their own mistakes and attribute their mistakes to others. That was particularly so for someone like James, who was caught and was about to face being charged and death. Therefore, at that moment, he crazily and hysterically shouted at Gloria. He absolutely would not think about the fact that he had approached Gloria to scam Gloria. It was as if his act of tricking others was justified, but when others tricked him, he was aggrieved. That was because to maintain a relationship with Gloria and to gain her trust, he had indeed put in a lot of effort during that period.
At that moment, a police officer said," James Dunn! Behave yourself!"
Two of the police restrained James' arms while another person held some evidence and so on and they were about to take the group of people away.
"Gloria Shaw, you damned scammer!" James was still cursing.
"Could you hold on for a moment?" Gloria asked the police officers.
Gloria had given the police a big hand in cracking the case, so the police were incredibly polite to her. "Go on, Madam Gloria."
"I have to have a word with James," said Gloria.
"Alright.”
They held James and made him face Gloria.
"James Dunn!" Gloria shouted. "If I have not scammed you this time, then at this very moment, I should have been abducted by the five of you. After that, you're going to ask my father for money, aren't you? Also, the figure that you're going to ask for should be more than tens of millions, right? What you guys wanted should be half of the Shaw family's properties, right? Tell me, what kind of behavior is this?"
"I have given you my love!" James changed the topic.
Gloria sneered. "Give me your love? I want to ask you, how many women in this world have you given your love to? Is it that every woman whom you have loved has to end up miserably in your hands? This is your love?" "I had never given anybody else my love! Only you! It's true. I have only given you my love. I had only done so this time!" said James. Speaking of that, James actually had a little hope in his eyes. "Gloria, could you give me...a chance to turn over a new leaf? I would repay your kindness by being at your beck and call, alright? Gloria..."
"Give you a chance to turn over a new leaf?" Gloria asked in return. "Then, who is going to give a chance to the mother who was waiting in the hospital to use the money to save her daughter? That mother had died. She had trusted a man that she shouldn't have trusted. However, what about the eighteen-year-old young girl? She was only eighteen! She was sick and desperately needed the money to save her life. Her mother had gathered the money for her. She had gotten the money! She was about to save the eighteen-year-old from dying! Being able to stay alive was so important to an eighteen-year-old girl! Instead, what did you do?"
Gloria was filled with so much resentment that she gritted her teeth while looking at James. "All of you are a bunch of animals! Beasts! How dare you cheat that kind of money out of her! That's tens of thousands! A young girl's life withered away on the spot!"
