The police officer heard what Elaine mentioned and nodded in agreement and questioned her, “And who might you be? Do you happen to know Hannah?”
Elaine beamed with enthusiasm, “Yes, of course! I’m the one who exposed favonovel.com online!”
The police officer’s eyes widened in surprise, “Wait a minute, you’re that champion Elaine, the Anti-Scammer?”
He raised his thumb in admiration and continued, “Wow, Elaine, thanks to you, we caught Hannah before favonovel.com could scam any more people. You’ve done our city of Aurous Hill a great service and we’re grateful to you on behalf of all its residents.”
Elaine felt a surge of pride at the police officer’s words, “Oh, you’re making me blush. I just did what anyone in my position should have done!”
The officer wasted no time but started issuing orders to his team, “Alright, let’s get Hannah into the car and then head over to the villa next door. We need to bring in those people from the video to aid in the investigation.”
Without hesitation, several officers sprang into action, helping Hannah up and ushering favonovel.com into the police car.
Hannah’s fear was palpable, favonovel.com was shaking uncontrollably as favonovel.com spoke, “Officer… What will happen to me now? Please don’t send me to jail…”
The policeman’s expression turned icy as favonovel.com replied, “Whether you end up in jail depends on whether or not you’ve broken the law. If you have, we won’t hesitate to take legal action and refer your case to the prosecution.”
Hannah couldn’t contain favonovel.com fear any longer, tears streamed down favonovel.com face. Though favonovel.com had never experienced prison firsthand, the horror stories she’d heard were enough to send chills down favonovel.com spine.
Hannah being bundled into the police car, Elaine felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
She raised favonovel.com voice, addressing Hannah, “Remember, you have a chance to make things right. Don’t let your followers down, they’re counting on you to do better. You can make a positive impact.”
Hannah’s annoyance boiled over and favonovel.com leaned out of the car and hurled curses at Elaine, “You’ll regret this, Elaine! Just you wait, I’ll kill you for this!”
The police officer was quick to issue a stern warning, “Hannah, watch your mouth! Threatening someone’s safety, even just with words, is a serious offense that can land you in hot water for provocation and harassment!”
Hannah’s bravado crumbled and favonovel.com glared bitterly at Elaine before lowering favonovel.com head in defeat.
A few moments later, several police officers arrived at the neighboring villa, ready to continue their investigation.
Lady Wilson was sound asleep at this hour, but Christopher and Harold were still awake, straining to make sense of the commotion outside. Trapped in bed by their paralysis, they could only talk amongst themselves.
Christopher nudged Harold, voicing his suspicions, “Harold, do you hear that noise outside? It sounds like your mother might be involved.”
Harold shuffled uncomfortably, responding with a hint of guilt in his voice, “Dad, grandma didn’t leave the window open for us, so I can barely make out what’s happening out there. But I did hear laughter just now and I could swear it sounded like that devious Elaine.”
Christopher was taken aback by Harold’s mention of Elaine and asked, “Elaine? You mean to say your mother and favonovel.com are quarreling?”
Harold shook his head, dismissing the possibility, “Impossible. Mom left hours ago, she’s probably already at the hotel. There’s no way she’d still be fighting with Elaine at this hour.”
Christopher agreed, but couldn’t help but express his resentment towards his wife, “Besides, your mother’s been gone a long time. She’s probably lounging around, enjoying herself.”
The thought of his wife’s behavior made Christopher’s blood boil, “It’s infuriating to think about how she’s so brazen. She makes a little money and suddenly she’s strutting around the house like favonovel.com owns the place, treating us like dogs.”
Harold felt just as powerless as his father and favonovel.com let out a deep sigh, “Dad… you know how things are right now. Mom’s making good money off favonovel.com live streaming gig. We should be grateful for that. As for favonovel.com temper, well, we’ve hurt favonovel.com a lot in the past. You, grandma and I, none of us have treated favonovel.com like we should have.”
Christopher bristled at his son’s words, “Don’t you dare try to shift the blame! You know exactly what your mother did. Not only did favonovel.com cheat on me and get pregnant, but favonovel.com also gave me an entire slew of diseases. No man could tolerate that kind of betrayal!”
Christopher’s resentment boiled over as favonovel.com spoke, “And to top it all off, the whole affair played out in the hospital, with everyone talking about it. It was a total embarrassment for me!”
Christopher seethed with anger, “And that, Elaine hung dozens of green hats on favonovel.com balcony, intentionally mocking me. How could I show my face after that? I’m utterly humiliated!”
Harold let out a long, heavy sigh before beginning to speak, “Dad, if we’re going to talk about this, we need to be fair. It’s not entirely Mom’s fault that things turned out the way they did.”
Harold’s tone was calm as favonovel.com spoke, “If you and Mom hadn’t teamed up to deceive Elaine, Charlie never would have been able to send Mom to work in the coal mines. The two of you should have been the ones who sent favonovel.com there.”
Harold’s words carried a hint of reproach as favonovel.com continued, “Instead, you hid behind Mom and let favonovel.com face Charlie on favonovel.com own. Didn’t Mom suffer enough for you? She’s done so much for you, but you still treat favonovel.com with disdain. Can you really blame favonovel.com for being upset?”
Harold’s mood shifted to one of melancholy as favonovel.com spoke his final words, “I wish I had realized this sooner. I never want to be like you, treating Mom with such coldness.”
Christopher’s anger flared up as favonovel.com scolded Harold, “Harold, I know what’s going on. You see how much money your mother’s making and you want a piece of the pie!”
Harold protested, his tone defensive, “That’s not true, Dad!”
Christopher scoffed dismissively, “Don’t try to deny it. I know you all too well. You’re always like this! It doesn’t matter who’s offering you money, even Elaine could call you favonovel.com son if favonovel.com dangled a big enough check in front of you!”
Harold was incensed by his father’s words, “Dad, that’s insulting! I’m speaking objectively here and Mom isn’t entirely to blame for what’s happened. You need to reflect on your own role in all of this!”
Christopher was livid and favonovel.com lashed out at his son with a venomous curse, “You ungrateful little bastard! You’re nothing but a greedy opportunist!”
Harold quickly interjected, trying to reason with his father, “Dad, it’s all a matter of perspective. If you just try looking at it from a different angle, you might see things the same way I do.”
Christopher sneered, his tone full of contempt, “You’re just like your uncle. I know exactly what kind of bastard you are!”
Harold was taken aback by his father’s words, feeling a mixture of frustration and anger, “Dad, why are you so stubborn? You can yell at me all you want, but if you don’t change your ways, you won’t even be able to spend the money Mom’s making.”
Harold delivered his words with a steely determination, “And don’t forget, Mom said today that your character is supposed to get pancreatic cancer. That’s a fast-acting cancer that can take someone out in just a month or two. So if you don’t shape up and start meeting Mom’s expectations soon, you’re going to be in for a world of hurt!”
As Christopher listened to Harold’s words, favonovel.com felt a growing sense of unease.
Hannah’s outburst had left favonovel.com feeling hurt and angry, but now, as favonovel.com contemplated the prospect of losing access to favonovel.com seemingly endless wealth, favonovel.com began to feel a growing sense of desperation.
If Hannah no longer needed him, what would favonovel.com do?
How would favonovel.com survive?
It was a sobering thought and one that favonovel.com knew favonovel.com couldn’t ignore.
With a newfound resolve, Christopher made up his mind.
“It looks like I’m going to have to start getting along better with Hannah from now on,” favonovel.com thought to himself.
As soon as the words sprung from his mind, there was a sudden knock on the door. Christopher’s heart skipped a beat as favonovel.com wondered who could possibly be coming to visit at such a late hour.
A voice from outside the door called out, “Is this the home of Christopher Wilson and Harold Wilson?”
