In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 272

“She’s lying. Everyone in the bar saw it. She splashed the sulphuric acid at me.” I explain.

“But we did ask the crowd and everyone also said that the sulphuric acid bottle was originally in your hands. Furthermore, where you were was at a blind spot and the security cameras didn’t capture the altercation.” The policeman looks at me sternly and with disdain.

I’m thinking that he must be believing Whitney’s version of what happened. After all, a pitiful looking woman can easily convince strangers.

At this moment I realize a very severe problem. It is easy to do evil deeds when a person is rich. Whitney must have given money to the bystanders and that is why all the witnesses’ statements are now against me.

“Sulphuric acid is a dangerous item. You must be prosecuted for having it in your possession.”

Although one must not fear if one is righteous, I start to panic at that moment.

I turn my head to look for Steven for advice only to see that he is no longer there. I don’t even know where did he go.

At that moment, Whitney comes out from the interrogation room and looks complacently at me.

Although Whitney has some psychological issues, she still has clarity of thought. Since she has plans to attack me, she must have her alibi and defense ready.

“According to law, we need to detain you for the moment.” The policeman says solemnly and officially.

“Evil deeds will not go unpunished. You had done so many evil things and this is your retribution.” Whitney isn’t concerned about the presence of the policeman and scoffs at me.

At this moment, Steven walks from behind Whitney, and beside him is a middle-aged man in uniform. The man looks influential and must be someone of authority.

True enough, he walks towards the policeman and speaks to him. That policeman looks at me and stutters, “But…”

“Say no more, release her.” That middle-aged man says.

Whitney’s face is full of surprise and is about to say something but eventually swallows her words.

I know that Steven manages to help me. Regardless of what method, the policeman will no longer detain me at the police station. But I cannot stomach the injustice for Whitney to escape prosecution.
