Chapter 40: Confrontation
A wave of satisfaction washed over me as I watched the police officer grab her by her arms to twist them behind her back and handcuff her within the next second, without a single warning.
"Ahh!" She let out a loud yelp and the reporters began to snap pictures and were scrambling to make sure that they got the best shot. Her cheeks were flushed red and anger was evident on her face as she glared at the officer with disbelief. "Are you crazy?! Let me go!" She shrieked in her high-pitched voice that pierced through the air.
"Do you know who I am?" She continued to question through gritted teeth, her voice shaking with rage and anger when the officer didn’t say another word. "I am the daughter of the richest family in the country! You cannot arrest me!" She screamed, yelling at the top of her lungs while Xavier and I stood aside quietly with a smile on our faces, watching everything unravel before our eyes just as planned.
"I don’t care if you are the daughter of the richest family in the country. Even if you were the President, I’m still arresting you," the police officer warned in his deep voice, his voice remained unwavering as a look of certainty was stretched across his face. "Nobody is above the law, not you, not the President. No one," he said, his voice heavy with finality.
"I... I..." she stammered, not knowing what to say as her eyes swept across the area helplessly, hoping that someone would come to her rescue. "I told them, I told everyone that it was a joke! Why are you arresting me? I didn’t do anything wrong!" She insisted, as she continued yelling and shouting.
Despite her endless protest and struggles, everyone only watched as she was taken away by the police officers within the next few seconds, disappearing out of sight. That was when the attention was turned to Xavier and I, the camera flashes shining brightly in our faces as we squinted our eyes.
"Were you the one who released the audio of the confession from the judges online?"
"How do you feel now that justice is served?"
Questions after questions were being hurled right at us.
