The Charismatic Charlie Wade

The police officer heard what Elaine mentioned and nodded in agreement and questioned her, “And who might you be? Do you happen to know Hannah?”

Elaine beamed with enthusiasm, “Yes, of course! I’m the one who exposed her online!”

The police officer’s eyes widened in surprise, “Wait a minute, you’re that champion Elaine, the Anti-Scammer?”

He raised his thumb in admiration and continued, “Wow, Elaine, thanks to you, we caught Hannah before she could scam any more people.

You’ve done our city of Aurous Hill a great service and we’re grateful to you on behalf of all its residents.”

Elaine felt a surge of pride at the police officer’s words, “Oh, you’re making me blush.

I just did what anyone in my position should have done!”

The officer wasted no time but started issuing orders to his team, “Alright, let’s get Hannah into the car and then head over to the villa next door.

We need to bring in those people from the video to aid in the investigation.”

Without hesitation, several officers sprang into action, helping Hannah up and ushering her into the police car.

Hannah’s fear was palpable, she was shaking uncontrollably as she spoke, “Officer… What will happen to me now? Please don’t send me to jail…”

The policeman’s expression turned icy as he replied, “Whether you end up in jail depends on whether or not you’ve broken the law.

If you have, we won’t hesitate to take legal action and refer your case to the prosecution.”

Hannah couldn’t contain her fear any longer, tears streamed down her face.

Though she had never experienced prison firsthand, the horror stories she’d heard were enough to send chills down her spine.

Hannah being bundled into the police car, Elaine felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

She raised her voice, addressing Hannah, “Remember, you have a chance to make things right.

Don’t let your followers down, they’re counting on you to do better.

You can make a positive impact.”

Hannah’s annoyance boiled over and she leaned out of the car and hurled curses at Elaine, “You’ll regret this, Elaine! Just you wait, I’ll kill you for this!”

The police officer was quick to issue a stern warning, “Hannah, watch your mouth! Threatening someone’s safety, even just with words, is a serious offense that can land you in hot water for provocation and harassment!”

Hannah’s bravado crumbled and she glared bitterly at Elaine before lowering her head in defeat.
