Lydia suddenly burst into tears. She looked at Dominic and sobbed as she confronted him, “I treated you as a friend. Why would you do this to me? Why?!”
Dominic stood restrained by the officers, staring straight at her. After a long pause, a cold smile surfaced.
“Looks like you called the cops and said I raped you?” he asked flatly.
At his words, Lydia did not respond. Her sobs only grew louder.
“Enough. Move!” an officer barked, shoving him forward.
Dominic said nothing more. He offered no resistance and followed the officers out.
By the time they reached the ground floor, a sizable crowd had already gathered outside.
As soon as Dominic appeared, people raised their phones and cameras, snapping photos and recording videos. Some were reporters, others influencers. Lydia cried the entire time.
The moment they stepped out of the hotel, the crowd surged forward, questions flying from every direction.
The officers restrained Dominic and pushed him into the police car.
Meanwhile, Lydia turned to face the crowd. Before the cameras, she sobbed and haltingly recounted what had happened that night. “My name is Lydia Frost. I’m a lawyer… I treated him as a friend… I invited him to dinner today…
“I asked him to take me back to the hotel… but I don’t know what he put in the bottled water… I lost consciousness… He carried me upstairs… When I woke up… I was…”
In front of the cameras, Lydia looked fragile and vulnerable. Her good looks, combined with her broken account, stirred both sympathy and outrage.
Many people turned toward Dominic in the police car, their eyes burning with anger.
He ignored them all. His gaze passed through the crowd and settled on Lydia.
Lydia seemed to sense it. She turned her head slightly and met his eyes.
Despite being under arrest, Dominic showed no trace of panic. His eyes were calm, as still as water, yet they made Lydia uneasy.
She gnashed her teeth and pointed at him, her voice trembling. “That look. Just now… It was that exact look…”
Everyone immediately turned to stare at Dominic.
Someone shouted angrily, “Look at the nerve he’s got. He’s already been caught and he’s still acting arrogant.”
“Exactly. Who does he think he is? He’s way too full of himself.”
The crowd seethed with righteous anger, curses erupting one after another.
A nearby officer shoved Dominic and said coldly, “Behave yourself.”
Only then did Dominic withdraw his gaze.
Soon, the police car started and drove off toward the station.
That night, social media exploded. Even at 2:00 a.m., related news continued to spread like wildfire.

At 3:00 a.m., a crowd had gathered outside the Skyline City Bureau.
“Step aside. I’ll say it one more time,” Jessica said, her voice icy,
An officer blocked her path. “The suspect is under interrogation and cannot receive visitors.”
Jessica clenched her teeth. “What if I insist on going in?”
“Jessica, this matter isn’t simple,” Autumn said seriously as she lowered her phone. “I already called my dad. He told me to wait
for now.”
Jessica’s expression remained cold. She had also made a call. The response had been polite but firm, with no room for negotiation.
The officer in front of her had clearly received instructions.
Jessica knew it would be impossible to see Dominic tonight. She took a deep breath. “I’ll go find my uncle.”
With that, she turned and left.
Just as she was about to exit the police station, she ran straight into Isabella, who had rushed over in a hurry.
