"Don't worry.” Sean swore that he would protect Nikki this time. "Even if the cops are here, we have nothing to fear since we didn't do it, so..."
Before Sean could even finish his sentence, the cops approached them and showed Nikki their identification badge. "Ms.
Wheeler, we have evidence to prove that you've committed the crime of a murder attempt on Ms. Bonnie Craig, as well as raping Mr. Terry Simmons. We’re authorized to arrest you. Please cooperate with us."
Sean was flabbergasted to have heard this. He paused and looked at the cops incredulously and subconsciously stood before them, shielding Nikki. "H—Have you made a mistake?"
Nikki was the victim, was she not? It was Jim who had hurt Nikki, and Terry was the one who had stolen Nikki's innocence, no?
Why was the police saying otherwise?
"Sir, without proper and solid evidence, we wouldn't arrest anyone," answered one officer sternly. "If you're the relevant party, then we're allowed to show you the evidence. Otherwise, please do not interfere with our job."
Sean was dazed right that very second. From the looks of it, the cops must have obtained solid evidence already. However...
"I'm innocent!" Tears started falling from Nikki's eyes. "You...Jim Landry must've bribed all of you, and—"
Jim sneered. "Bribe? Nikki Wheeler, I assumed that you must've watched too many movies. Do you know you're committing another crime by saying so?"
Jim's overwhelming aura silenced Nikki entirely.
"Arrest her!" The cops did not bother when Nikki kept on insisting on her innocence and took her away immediately.
