"Arrest me?" Wilbur snorted. He did not know where these people got their confidence.
Jacques' tone was icy. "That's right. You're going to be arrested if you don't 'fess up, and the consequences are going to be serious."
Wilbur smiled. "How about we make a bet?"
"A bet?" Jacques asked as he was thrown off guard.
"If you manage to arrest me, I'll admit to anything you sentence me to. How's that?" Wilbur suggested.
"The nerve of this guy! Mister Jacques, please just arrest him right now! He's an embarrassment to everyone here," Jayla said.
Jacques' expression darkened, and he shouted, "Tell the truth, or I'm calling Special Forces over here."
Before Wilbur could say anything more, another man in his fifties walked over with a broad smile. "What's going on here, Mister Jacques?"
Wilbur turned to see a handsome man. Despite his age, it was clear that he had been a heartthrob some years ago.
Jacques said at once, "Mister Hopps, there's a suspicious intruder over here. I'm in the middle of questioning him."
"Oh? Well, you'd better clear it up, then. You know how important everyone here is. Can't afford to mess up now, can we?" Earnest Hopps frowned.
Jayla crowded over at once, flashing a dazzling smile at Earnest. "Mister Hopps, you've always been one of my biggest inspirations. I can't believe I'm meeting you here, it truly is my honor!"
"You are…?" Earnest asked, confused.
Jayla said at once, "I'm Jayla Loss, an actor from Dasha! I was in the movie Scarlet Affair."
"Oh, hello." Earnest was polite enough, but it was clear that he did not know Jayla and had never even heard of Scarlet Affair.
Just then, Jayla turned to Wilbur arrogantly. "Take a good look here! One of Allied State's best directors and master of movies, Director Earnest Hopps! He's a huge name in the global film industry, unlike you."
