"All right!" Amber rubbed her forehead, and her tone became impatient, "Instead of caring about others, you'd better mind about whether you are gonna be detained!"
"Detained?" Chole's expression changed, "Why should I be detained? I've already come to the police station!"
"Do you really not understand or are you just pretending?" Jeremy looked at her coldly with folded arms, "You asked someone to put that kind of image on Amber's window, which has constituted a crime, a crime of intentional intimidation!"
"No... What is the crime of intentional intimidation? I didn't intimidate her, I just scared her, how com that was a crime? It's a prank at best!" Chole said in a panic.
Seeing her like this, Amber already knew in her heart that this woman was not pretending, she really didn't know that this kind of behavior was a crime.
How ignorant of her!
Amber looked at Chole with a hopeless expression, "Officer, please tell her if she has committed a crime!"
"Okay." The policeman who had been silent for a while nodded and took a step forward, "Miss Mendez, you did commit the crime of intentional intimidation. If you just ask someone to cast an image on Miss Reed's French window once, it can be said that is a prank, but things will be different if that happens a few times in a row. You are intentional with the purpose of intimidation."
"That's right, especially in the middle of the night! When most people see a giant skull appearing on their windows in the middle of the night, they will very likely be frightened. Some may fall to the ground, or worse, some might become insane out of the fright!" Jeremy stared at Chole in a way like he was looking at something dead.
Jared glanced at Amber's abdomen and said, "And she is pregnant. Your scare may cause her to miscarry. Can you afford such a consequence?"
It was his child, Amber could choose not to keep it, but it was not for others to decide whether his child should stay or not.
Chole should be glad that the child is okay, otherwise, he will never let her and her family off the hook.
But now Amber has not made an abortion, maybe she is planning to keep it.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly filled with joy and anticipation.
He was looking forward to the birth of their baby, which must be lovely.
The most important thing is that maybe she will forgive him and get back with him again for the sake of the child!
"I'm not doing that on purpose, I'm not!" Chole suddenly shook her head violently and stepped back, and her face was full of fear, "I just wanted to scare her. I didn't think about making her mentally ill or having a miscarriage, besides, isn't she okay now?"
Chole pointed at Amber, "Look, she is all good, so why did you say that I was deliberately intimidating?"
Jeremy frowned. When he was just about to speak, the corner of Amber's mouth tickled sarcastically, she said, "In this world, there are always people who take chances and think that if the victim is not hurt, they will not be punished, but unfortunately, I will not let this happen. Police officer, what's the punishment to her?"
The policeman thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, one thing she said just now is right, although she committed the crime of intentional intimidation, Miss Reed, you did not have an actual damage, so her punishment will not be too severe. She won't go to jail, just a detention. As for how long, we have to wait for the notification."
Hearing this, Jared narrowed his eyes.
Amber nodded slightly, "Okay, then lock her up first, and let me know when the results come out."
"Of course!" The policeman responded with a smile and was about to grabbed Chole.
Chole didn't want to be detained, so she quickly backed away and even wanted to run.
But just as she took a step, Jeremy suddenly stretched out a foot.
She stumbled to the ground and was caught by the police.
Chole knew that she couldn't run away, and she was so terrified that she burst into tears.
She hurriedly looked at Amber and begged her, "Amber, I'm so sorry, can you let me go once? I don't want to be detained again, please; I really know I was wrong..."
Chole was crying her eyes out.
But none of the people present sympathized with her.
Amber looked at her coldly, "Maybe you are thinking that if you had known it would come to this, you would have acted differently. But that cannot change anything. Adults should be responsible for their deeds. And I don't think you've truly realized your mistakes. You are merely afraid of being detained, that's all. You are saying that you were wrong, but in your heart, you still don't feel the same way, right?"
Amber lowered her head and brought her face close to Chole.
