Chapter 307
The police chief was out of breath as he spoke, struggling to steady himself.
The officer, seeing who had arrived, stiffened immediately, “C–Chief?”
“Are you deaf? Take those cuffs off her right now!”
“What a well–trained team you’ve got, Chief. I call the police, and your men try to arrest me instead. Am I supposed to find this funny?” Ariana said seriously.
Hearing the clear displeasure in her tone, the chief broke out in a cold sweat “Y–Yes! Yes! This was my failure in training them properly. Ms. Torrey, I deeply apologize for the mistake!”
The officers were dumbfounded. Their usually strict and authoritative chief was suddenly bending over backward for this woman?
One of them hesitated before asking, “Sir… Who is she?”
“She’s Ms. Torrey! Who gave you the guts to arrest her? Do you have a death wish? Because If you do I sure as hell don’t! Let her go, right now!”
Ariana arched an eyebrow. “Oh, Chief, no need to be so worked up. I did try explaining myself earlier, but it seems someone wasn’t listening.”
The chief’s face darkened further as he wiped sweat from his forehead. “These are just rookies–new recruits who haven’t been properly trained yet. I will personally discipline him, Ms. Torrey. Please, don’t take offense!”
At that moment, the gathered neighbors exchanged uneasy glances.
Who was this woman? Even the police chief was bowing and scraping before her!
“Alright, let’s hear my side of the story,” Ariana said, turning her gaze toward Chloe.
Meanwhile, Chloe, who had been so self–righteous just moments ago, suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
“T–This woman–she was soliciting in my apartment! I was just trying to protect my property! What’s the problem with that?”
“Ridiculous!” The chief barked. “Utter nonsense! What do you mean ‘this woman‘? Do you have any idea who you’re talking about?! This is the heiress of the Torrey family! Do you think she would need to resort to prostitution?!”
Chloe’s jaw dropped. “What? The Torrey family? A rich heiress? Here?! Chief, you must be joking!”
The other neighbors were equally stunned. There was no way this woman was a legitimate heiress–why would a rich, high–status lady be living in their rundown complex?
The chief sneered. “Do I look like I’m joking? This is Ariana Torrey, the former fiancée of The CEO of Lodge Co., and the heiress of Torrey Corporation! She is also the current acting head of Torrey Col If she chose to rent your place, you should be thanking your lucky stars!
“And yet, you ransacked her belongings and
ed to throw her out?! What the hell were you thinking? Now tell me -who was spreading rumors about Ms. Torrey? Step forward immediately!”
