Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 648

"Click—"

Camera shutters erupted.

Beneath the solemn, imposing police emblem, officers formed a towering human wall to escort the young girl into the building.

The stark contrast between the dull blue uniforms and her bright pink cap, the towering bulk of the adult officers against her petite frame—she was charging into the adult world armed with nothing but reckless youth.

Major news outlets raced to publish the photograph. The brutal, vivid contrast instantly turned it into an iconic, irreplicable cover shot.

Obsidian Estate, Main Hall.

"Smack—"

Dorian had a pounding headache from stress as he slammed the newspaper down onto the table.

Leander looked grave as he pulled the paper out from under Dorian's hand. "This is a total disaster. What exactly are the Merriton City police even good for?" He looked across the room at Lucian. "What did Talia say?"

"Talia didn't know anything about this," Lucian sighed. "Vivienne didn't discuss it with her. Talia's already on her way to Police HQ. Let's hope she can talk some sense into the girl."

Dorian's expression darkened. "Tell Talia this isn't a game. Illegal possession of firearms is a major felony. If this goes wrong, it will drag the entire Ravenshire family down with it. Have her find a way to shut Vivienne up!"

Lucian understood the severity of the situation and nodded. "Don't worry. Talia knows what's at stake."

"If she really knew, it wouldn't have escalated to this point!" Leander grumbled. "That kid has been completely spoiled. The path to her acquittal was practically paved in gold. Is it really that hard for her to just keep her mouth shut?"

"This is the defense script you prepared for me?"

"Buying guns?"

"Yes. Right now, the public's biggest point of contention is the source of the firearms. A week ago, the central directorate searched Obsidian Estate on suspicion of hoarding illegal weapons. The controversy had barely died down, and now this video is out. Opportunists will absolutely weaponize this against the family. Therefore, the source of the guns must be clearly explained, and the Ravenshire family must be entirely insulated. In conclusion, the cleanest solution is an illegal purchase."

"While purchasing an illegal firearm is a crime, your age and the small quantity will result in a significantly lighter sentence compared to hoarding an arsenal. Furthermore, we can arrange for you to mitigate the crime through meritorious service."

"Meritorious service?" Vivienne glanced over the bank statements and fake chat logs on the table, her expression twisting. "You guys... don't tell me..."

Were they seriously going to set up a fall-guy arms dealer just so she could snitch on him?

Mr. Caine cleared his throat. "With this avenue established, the gun possession charge won't be something the prosecution can hammer you on."

Vivienne: "..."
