Chapter 32 In fact , these people had committed more than just such crimes - some had ever been involved in rape , and there were cases where someone had ended up dead . As soon as some of the wealthy ladies saw the police , their faces went pale . The others started feeling increasingly uneasy . Shermaine replied , " Yeah , I'did . " Amira had come here tonight fully prepared , aiming to get revenge for Ronnie , who'd been humiliated by Joshua . She even gathered these women together to destroy any evidence that could hurt Ronnie's side . To make sure the deleted evidence couldn't be recovered , she even hired a hacker to wipe it clean permanently , thinking that would cover their tracks . But she didn't expect Shermaine to turn the tables on them and call the police . Jameson showed a strange expression . He remembered Shermaine telling him not to come , and now , he finally realized that she didn't really need him to play the father role here . Amira , starting to panic , tried to steady herself . Thinking the deleted videos would be gone for good , she took a breath and said , " As for intentional injury , Shermaine , don't tell me you're clean . " And as for drug trafficking and kidnapping stuff , you're just framing our children . Got any evidence for that ? " " Actually , officer , " Amira added , " I've got a video of her attacking our children . You came at the right time . Please take her away now ." Shermaine blinked her eyes , looking innocent . " I always abide by the law , but sometimes , a bit of violence is the only way to get things done . " She paused for a second before continuing , " As for evidence , whether it's drug trafficking , illegal kidnapping , intentional injury , or anything else , I've got it all . " She pulled out her phone and handed it to the officer . Shermaine shot the videos when she patched up her wound in Danielle's office . Amira had ordered the hacker to permanently erase the data on her phone , yet she never anticipated that the evidence had automatically been uploaded to cloud storage . It was too easy for Shermaine to copy it . It proved that no evil deed would go unpunished . After watching the video , the officer's face grew serious . " Please , follow me to the station . " These rich kids had been living like they were untouchable , abusing their wealth and status . The evidence was enough to get them locked up for years . They were arrested , and it felt like a bad dream . Only when the police cars's lights flashed in front of the hospital , and people started watching them being taken away , did they realize how deeply they were screwed . It was humiliating , and now they were terrified . They knew the consequences could be years behind bars . Amira only started to regret things when she saw Ronnie being taken away by the police again . She couldn't believe how things ended up like this . She thought she had everything covered , but somehow , Shermaine found the evidence they'd been so careful to hide . As those rich ladies were worried about their sons's futures and tried to find a way out , somehow , the news spread out like wildfire through Basterel . Once the news was out , there was no way they could try to pull some strings to get their sons out . Even their families were going to be dragged into this mess . After all, this was a family scandal , involving drug trafficking , kidnapping , and assault - nothing they could brush under the rug . Lily , the victim in all this , didn't expect Shermaine to bring her justice so easily . Before Shermaine left for the police station , she asked Lily , " How do you know Wendelyn ? " 1/3 14:46 Sat , 31 May G Chapter 32 Lily didn't hide anything and told Shermaine the whole story . Shermaine thought , ' What a surprise . They're actually sisters . Wendelyn , now a Jean , would hever acknowledge Lily as her sister . Shermaine asked , " So , you and Wendelyn had an argument at Grandview Mall that day ? " Lily responded , " Well , it wasn't really an argument . After I got fired from the store , I asked Wendy out , I asked her if she was the one who got me fired , and she admitted it . " I asked her why . She said she didn't want to see me in Basterel anymore . Then she gave me a check for 30 thousand dollars . " Just thinking about that check made Lily angry . She was poor , but she had her pride . She wasn't after Wendelyn for her money or status - she just wanted to make up for the sister she'd lost when her family sent her away at the age of five . Lily said , " I didn't take the check , and I told her I wouldn't bother her again . But not long after that , I was forcibly taken away by those jerks . " Shermaine said flatly , " It could be Wendelyn inciting them to do dirty work for her . " Shermaine's gut told her that if Wendelyn hadn't encouraged or pushed Ronnie , he never would've lost his mind and gone after a stranger like that . Lily lowered her eyes and said , " I felt the same thing , but … Never mind . Let's just say we've settled our debt with her . " " If you're not planning to hold her accountable , fine . I won't dig any deeper , " Shermaine replied . " But I need to tell you , she and I are technically sisters now , though we are not close . " I hope you won't come and beg me to spare her when something bad happens to her . " Lily didn't hesitate but replied , " Sure , Sheary . From the moment she asked me to leave Basterel , I stopped seeing her as my sister . Her life and death have nothing to do with me anymore . " Wendelyn was also summoned to the police station to give a statement about Lily's case . But she wasn't worried about being dragged into the mess . After all , Ronnie was an idiot , and he valued her like gold . In the interrogation room, the officers only asked her a few questions that didn't really matter . When they told her she could leave , Wendelyn asked , " Officer , will my sister be detained ? " " No , " the officer replied . " Why not ? " Wendelyn pressed . The officer shot a glance at her but said nothing . Wendelyn let out a chuckle . " I mean , sure , Ronnie and the others hurt Lily , but wasn't it Sheary who threw the first punch ? And she hurt them pretty terribly ? " " Your family agreed to cover the medical bills , didn't you ? " the officer replied . " Our chief said we should wrap this up quickly and not to delay her school tomorrow . " Wendelyn replied , " Well , that's … a relief . " The officer silently rolled his eyes and retorted inwardly , ' Really ? How come it looks like you're not happy about the result ? ' When Amira learned Shermaine could go home , she immediately made a scene . " Why isn't she being held accountable ? She put my children in the hospital , and now she's just walking free ? Give me an explanation . " The officer explained , " First , they're willing to compensate you for your losses . Second , there's an important lead in the evidence Shermaine provided- about a drug trafficking ring . 2/3 Chapter 32 " We appreciate her cooperation . Besides , she got her punishment . She's writing an apology letter . She can't leave before she finishes it . " Amira shot back in her mind , ' An apology letter ? You call that punishment ? ' The officer remained stone - faced , " If you're unsatisfied , you can take it to court . But in the meantime , I suggest you get a better lawyer for your son . " Amira looked like she'd just bitten into something sour . Shermaine sat in a chair with her legs casually crossed . Her right hand was injured , so writing would hurt , but she used her left hand instead . When Wendelyn walked out of the interrogation room , her eyes immediately landed on Shermaine . Wendelyn couldn't help but think how stunning Shermaine was - her face , the sharp angles , and her features were just perfect. Wendelyn had always thought she was pretty , but next to Shermaine , she felt ordinary . She thought to herself , ' If only my face looked like hers . Shermaine doesn't even deserve that kind of beauty . ' Wendelyn walked over and spoke up , " Sheary , I'm just curious about how you got all that evidence ? " She didn't think Shermaine checked their phones , and Amira had clearly wiped everything clean . Shermaine smirked . " I've got a friend who's really good with computers . " That " friend " was , of course , Shermaine herself . " Oh , I see . Hacking into someone's phone , that's an invasion of privacy , isn't it ? " Wendelyn's voice rose slightly . Shermaine replied with a smile , " Inciting others to commit crimes is also illegal , you know ? " Wendelyn clenched her fists . " Sheary , you really know a lot . " She bit her lip and then asked , " By the way , does Joshua know what kind of trouble you got into tonight ? " Shermaine rolled her eyes , thinking , ' Geez , this is so annoying . Can she stop talking ? ' Shermaine stopped writing , looked at Wendelyn , and said , " I'm doing the world a favor , don't you think ? If Josh knew , he'd have someone come pick me up . " But this is just a small thing . I'm not going to bother him . He's busy enough already . I wouldn't want to interrupt ." The way Shermaine casually referred to Joshua as " Josh " made Wendelyn's face turn as cold as stone , and her nails dug into her palms . Shermaine grinned , leaning in a little and pretending to sound sweet . " It's late , but I'm kinda missing him right now . " Shermaine couldn't help but call herself a drama queen . But to her surprise , things only got worse . -Joshua's deep voice suddenly came from behind her . " If you miss me , why don't you just call me , hmm ?
