Chapter 639
“D-Defamation?”
The two girls had gone paler than a sheet of paper.
The lawyer kindly explained, “Defamation is the act of harming someone’s reputation whether through oral or written form, such as falsely accusing someone to the police and trying to get them arrested. A light sentence would be anywhere less than three years, but a heavy sentence could be up to ten years of imprisonment.”
The two girls were thoroughly horrified and fell on their knees with a loud thud.
Three years?
They only wanted Arielle to be imprisoned for ten days or so, but Vinson was ready to keep them in jail for at least three years!
The tall girl was clearly terrified as a wet patch started forming on her skirt; she had wet herself out of fear.
“Take them,” Vinson called out.
A few bodyguards stepped out of a car parked not too far off, and they hauled both girls into the car, sending them to Rocher Private Hospital.
At that hospital, they would be exposed for lying even if they actually did have a concussion.
They couldn’t escape from going to jail at this point.
Wendy’s mouth pressed into a thin line, not daring to speak up for both of them.
Still, Vinson hadn’t forgotten about her just because she was silent.
Right then, he directed his glare toward her.
She immediately shivered under Vinson’s cold stare.
“I remember giving you a warning before,” Vinson said. “I told you not to mess with her because you wouldn’t be able to face the consequences. Clearly, your memory isn’t the best.”
Wendy’s face started going from pale to bright red.
She bit her lip, feeling all the blood rushing to her head.
However, Vinson still wasn’t done. “You’re not having class now, right?”
Wendy didn’t know why Vinson was asking this, but she nodded anyway.
In response, Vinson said, “Okay, perfect. Go back to Nightshire Manor and move out instantly. If not, I will get people to throw out all your luggage.”
“No!” Wendy shrieked, almost kneeling and begging Vinson.
Vinson said, “Okay, you don’t have to move out yourself. The lawyer will settle the matter with you. By then, I’ll have all your things sent to jail for you.”
