The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 No One Above the Law

Scarlett stared at Eustace.

Then she raised her hand and flipped him off.

Eustace’s face darkened right away.

The young policewoman beside them couldn’t hold it in. She burst out laughing.

Typical Scarlett.

Elizabeth sat quietly to the side, still calm. She kept thinking, now that they were heading to the police station, wasn’t Scarlett afraid at all?

There was no way the Lynns would let Eustace stay locked up.

Sooner or later, someone would step in and have him released.

Even though Scarlett acted in self–defense, they could still keep her there for ten days or even two weeks.

And then it hit her. Wasn’t Scarlett about to take the SAT?

There had been news about her online lately.

People were saying she hadn’t appeared in public for a while, guessing she was busy preparing for the exam.

If the delay affected her, she might miss the SAT this year entirely.

Wasn’t Scarlett from another city?

Why had she come here right before such an important exam?

Elizabeth said nothing.

She didn’t hate Scarlett, but Scarlett had gone too far earlier with her words.

She had no intention of helping her now.

They soon arrived at the police station.

Security footage from the karaoke lounge had already been copied over.

The officer who brought them in started taking everyone’s statements.

After reviewing the statements and the footage, the officers hesitated about what to do.

The young policewoman spoke fairly. “We’ve taken your statements and reviewed the video. Mr. Lynn was the one who grabbed Ms. Sanchez’s shoulder first. That counts as self–defense, not assault.”

She continued, “Assault means intentionally and repeatedly hurting someone. Ms. Sanchez only performed a single shoulder throw after being grabbed. She did not continue attacking, so her action is considered self–defense.”

Eustace shot her an eerie look.

“Then I want a medical exam,” he said. “She probably caused internal injuries. That’s excessive self–defense.”

His chest still hurt.

The policewoman clenched her teeth.

No one wanted to offend Eustace.

Just as she was unsure how to proceed, the chief of police walked in personally.

The moment he saw him, Eustace smirked at Scarlett.

See? Even the chief came for me.

The policewoman grew uneasy.

No one wanted to get on Eustace’s bad side. If they did, the whole department would get chewed out, top to bottom.

Everyone at the station just wanted to keep things quiet.

No one wanted trouble with Eustace or the people backing him.

But she believed Scarlett was not in the wrong. As a fan, she knew Scarlett well enough.

Scarlett had probably let Eustace grab her on purpose, just to set him up for that clean takedown.

And yeah, she might have used a bit more force than needed.

Still, Eustace wasn’t a good man. He was trash.

He did whatever he wanted in Dragoria, and people kept covering for him. How could anyone

accept that?

The chief looked around the room. His eyes paused on Scarlett for a second longer before shifting to Eustace.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Eustace had been here plenty of times before.

Every time, it was because he’d picked fights or bullied someone.

And every time, a call would come from above, telling them to release him right away.

This time, he got a call too. But it wasn’t from the usual department.

It came from a higher authority.

At first, he thought Eustace had found an even stronger backer. He figured it was just more pressure to let him go again.

But instead, the message was simple. “Eustace Lynn harassed a woman. Follow standard procedure.”
