Scarlett 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?
Jerome also 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, I 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 Jerome and Petrine did before, but he couldn't stand to lose his face. Today he came in 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.
Now, 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 Jerome was fond of her, and the rest of the family kind of liked her. So he agreed to Jerome marrying this woman.
With such a scandal, Jadon would not let Petrine stay i n the family anymore. This time he would take whatever came his way. He got ways to retaliate later. There was no need to go to the police.
At the time, several policemen came in, "Hello, I 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 I harassed her?"
Jerome panicked, and Jadon didn't expect the matter would come this 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!"
