“Enough!” Sonia rubbed her forehead and said with a slightly impatient tone, “Rather than caring about others, you should first worry about whether you will be detained again!”

“Detained again?” Cynthia’s expression changed. “Why should I be detained? I came to the police station!”

“Are you clueless or are you pretending, huh?” Carl crossed his arms and stared at her coldly. “You paid someone to put up that kind of image on Sonia’s window. It is considered a criminal offense—it’s a crime of intimidation!”

“Wait, what? No! What do you mean by a crime of intimidation? I didn’t try to intimidate her; I only wanted to scare her. How is that a crime? It’s a prank at most!” Cynthia exclaimed in panic.

 

Seeing her doing this, Sonia knew in her heart that this woman was indeed not pretending, and that she really didn’t know that what she did was a crime.

She had seen her fair share of people that did not know anything about the law, but she had never met someone who was as ignorant as Cynthia.

Sonia looked at Cynthia with a helpless expression. “Officer, please tell her if it is a crime!”

“Sure.” The male police officer who had kept quiet nodded his head and took a step forward. “Ms. Stone, you did commit the crime of intimidation. If you’d only had someone cast an image on Ms. Reed’s window once or twice, then yes, you could still say it was a prank. But it’s different when you do it several times in a row—that’s considered purposeful intimidation.”

“Yes, especially in the middle of the night. Any normal person would be extremely startled if they saw a skeleton appearing on their windows in the middle of the night. They might fall to the ground from being startled, or even get mental disorders from this!” Carl only stared at Cynthia in disdain.

Toby glanced at Sonia’s lower abdomen and then said, “And let’s not forget that Sonia is pregnant. Your little ‘prank’ may cause her to miscarry. Can you afford the consequences?”
