Chapter 51: I’m Sorry, Sir
Nora smiled up at the man softly, " Thank you for coming. I am sorry to be disturbing you..."
As Nora stood up and greeted the man slowly, Lara Anderson could not help but guffaw," I can’t believe this! Did you stoop so low that you would marry an old man just for the sake of your inheritance? This man must be in his 60’s atleast! No wonder you are unwilling to reveal the name of the man you married! He is practically ancient! Girls get sugar daddies but you, you got yourself a sugar grand-daddy!"
Lara was so happy and rejoicing in Nora’s misfortune that she failed to notice the man next to her had frozen in fear and was trying to make her quiet down.
The older man sent a sharp glance at the woman with the foul mouth and then turned to stare at his officer," Would you like to explain what is going on, officer?"
The officer gulped and hurriedly tried to explain," Sir, this is a family matter. Miss Lara here was trying to talk to her daughter who suddenly turned around and attacked her. They caused a public disturbance, so I brought them here to talk to each other. However, Miss Nora was not being cooperative with the investigation and I did not want to charge her with assault, keeping her youth in mind, so I was just trying to reason with her."
The officer then turned to Lara and hurriedly spoke," Miss Anderson, this is Police Commissioner Selleck! Please mind your words, he is an honourable family man."
"Miss Williams, were you refusing to cooperate with the police? I hope you understand that it is not feasible to obstruct an investigation."
"And is it also not feasible to also defend myself, Commissioner? I have witnesses where the altercation happened who can testify that I was not the one who started the entire altercation. However, your officer here insists on not only ignoring my words but also retaining here unlawfully."
"Sir, no witness has come forward to record any statements. So, it is only their words against the other."
"Would a video recording of the incident be enough proof?" Nora asked quietly.
"Sir, there are no video recordings available." The officer quickly provided as he tried to change the subject," Sir, Miss Williams here has just called her husband over to help sort out the matter and I am sure that he will be here any minute. Commissioner, you are here so late... is something the matter."
Commissioner Selleck ignored the woman who had now started crying and looked at Nora, instead," Do you have any evidence?"
