Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 151 âTake your time.â Rachelâs mind was filled with Davidâs face. She really did not have the patience to listen to their explanation.
Eddie looked at Rachelâs back and then at Don. âYou really got me into trouble!â
It was a pity that the double bonus that he had been longing for had turned into dust.
Don sneered. âI should be the one saying that!â
As the two of them were talking, a commotion broke out outside.
Eddie and Don looked at each other and rushed out tacitly.
They saw a group of reporters gathered at the entrance of the police station.
At this moment, they were aiming their cameras at Rachel.
Their expressions suddenly changed, and confusion appeared in their eyes. âWhy are the reporters here?!â
Don was also puzzled.
This case was still to be investigated. If it was really related to the smuggling case three years ago, the appearance of the reporters would only alert the enemy.
He rushed out quickly, followed by Eddie, whose mind was filled with thoughts of a promotion and a raise.
However, their appearance didnât have any effect. Instead, it made the reporters even crazier.
âMay I ask if this suspected sale of cultural relics is related to the smuggling case three years ago?â
âSince the case is still under investigation, why is the suspect free to move around?â âAccording to an insider, is it true that thereâs a power trade in your police department?â Don had never been good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, let alone feigning civility with reporters.
Hearing the reporters making things difficult for him, his face suddenly turned sullen and he shouted coldly, âStop talking nonsense here! Otherwise, Iâll treat you to tea at the police station!â
As soon as he said this, the reporters instantly found a new breakthrough. âIs this a sign of a guilty conscience?â
âAs a police officer, you threatened us. Weâre going to report you.â
While Don was speechless, Rachel suddenly said, âWhereâs the evidence?â
She stood in the crowd, but she did not panic at all. Instead, she was calm and composed in the face of danger. A powerful aura engulfed her, shrouded in an unknown coldness that made people shudder.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before someone reacted. âThe video of your illegal transaction has already become a trending topic. Why are you still being so stubborn?!â
âThere are witnesses and evidence, yet youâre still not confessing?!â
âOf course, she can be selfârighteous if she has someone powerful to protect her. Otherwise, how can she stand here as if nothing has happened?â
Rachelâs gaze swept over nonchalantly. The depths of her almondâshaped eyes were filled with coldness, and her red lips curled into a faint smile. âYou guys convicted me with just a video. Do you really think youâre godly detectives who can crack cases?â
Her words were filled with obvious mockery.
âItâs true that weâre not great detectives, but you canât deny it in the face of concrete evidence!â The reporter retorted with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Rachelâs lips curled up casually. âDid you see it with your own eyes?â
The reporter looked at Rachel aggressively. âThereâs no smoke without fire. If youâre really innocent and you have nothing to do with this case, why are you here?â
Rachel chuckled. âYou seem to have a point.â
In the ears of everyone, these words were equivalent to admitting to her crime.
Just as everyone thought that they had firstâhand information and began to plan for tomorrowâs headlines, they heard Rachel suddenly say, âOfficer Cole, how many years will you be sentenced to for defamation?â
âAh?â Don, who was suddenly called out, was stunned.
When he met Rachelâs cold gaze, he immediately came back to his senses and said with a serious expression, âYou will be sentenced to not more than three years of fixedâterm imprisonment, criminal detention, control, and deprivation of political rights.â
As soon as he said this, the reporterâs expression changed.
Is this woman crazy?
