“I was the one who called the police.”
The officer raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. “You called the police. So, you’re reporting yourself?”
“This old woman falsely accused me of prostitution, barged into my rented apartment, rummaged through my belongings, and is now trying to forcefully evict me. We have a signed lease agreement–what she’s doing is clearly illegal. I’m calling the police simply to protect my legal rights.”
Ariana’s words were clear, logical, and firm.
But Chloe scoffed. “This woman is renting my apartment! Of course, I can’t let my property become a brothel! Am I wrong to kick her out? Officer, you tell me–am I wrong?”
Hearing the landlady’s argument, the officer hesitated slightly. Neighborhood disputes were the worst–no matter what, someone was going to be unhappy.
“Is it true that you’re engaging in prostitution?” he asked, turning to Ariana.
“It’s not true.”
“She’s lying! I saw her with multiple men today! And it’s not just me–half the neighborhood saw it! One luxury car after another–this afternoon, she left with two men, and tonight, she left with another! If she’s not a hooker, what is she?”
Chloe sounded utterly convinced, as if she had undeniable proof.
The neighbors early chimed in, adding fuel to the fire. “That’s right! I saw it too!”
“Same here! Since when do we get luxury cars in this neighborhood? This girl is clearly a gold digger! Nowadays, all these pretty college girls get sugar daddies! It’s shameful!!
“With a face like that, tell me what else could she be? Just arrest her already! We don’t need this kind of person ruining our neighborhood!”
More and more residents crowded the hallway, eager to watch the drama unfold.
The officers were growing visibly impatient. “If that’s the case, you’ll need to come with us to the station for an investigation.”
“I call the police to protect my legal rights, and you want to arrest me?”
Ariana couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.
Fiona, watching from the sidelines, saw the opportunity to finally get rid of Ariana She quickly stepped forward, feigning concern. “My cousin didn’t mean to cause trouble! Can’t we just let this go?”
She looked pleadingly at both the landlady and the officer, Hoping they would take the bait.
The officer frowned. “If she’s actually involved in prostitution, that’s a criminal offense. She has to come with us. If the investigation clears her, then we’ll handle her complaint accordingly.”
“Yes! Take her away already!”
“She was acting all high and mighty just now–why isn’t she saying anything now?”
“I knew she was just bluffing! She even claimed to have connections with the police chief–but where is he? She’s obviously lying!!
