She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 554: Nora's Mysterious Smile

Danielle was captured as the culprit. Finally realizing the severity of the situation, she started to feel afraid. She sobbed heavily, playing the victim.

In her mind, she schemed, thinking that as long as she firmly claimed that the deceased had provoked her first, and her brother greased a few palms here and there, they could close the case using the defense of "excessive self-defense."

"It's not my fault. She insulted me first. Yes, she started the verbal abuse..."

"If it weren't for her vulgar language, I wouldn't have hit her! Why would I target her with so many people around?"

With reddened eyes, she defended herself pitifully, and public opinion started to shift towards her.

Jerry had been listening nearby all along and witnessed the entire incident.

As a witness, he took a brave step forward and declared loudly, "I testify that this girl merely stated the fact that the Parry family is on the verge of bankruptcy. It was her who initiated the violence." Many people actually witnessed it, but they were afraid of the Parry family's influence, so they didn't dare to stand up.

Now that Jerry took the lead, others naturally followed and spoke up for justice.

"Yes, I saw it too!"

"Me too!"

"I can testify."

More and more people voiced their support for the deceased, most of them being unrelated strangers.

Meanwhile, the two friends who had badmouthed her earlier had long since run away.

This is the true side of human nature - often, so-called friends are not as reliable as strangers when it matters most.

With both eyewitness and testimonial evidence, Danielle couldn't escape this time.

The silver handcuffs fell onto her wrists, and Danielle, who had been arrogant just moments ago, suddenly froze.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Her brain crashed, leaving her in a state of blankness.

By the time she regained her senses, she was already being escorted into the police car.

Finally feeling fear, tears fell from her eyes like golden beans.

While crying, she foolishly threatened the police officers, "No! I didn't really kill her. It was her own misfortune, unable to stand steadily!"

"Don't arrest me! I am the lady of the Parry family. You can't treat me like this. Believe me, I could make you get fired."

Since Gordon became the chief of police, the entire department had improved its ethics and became unafraid of the powerful, showing a tough stance from top to bottom. Danielle's grandiose words didn't impress them.

"Alright then, even if we lose our jobs, the fact remains that Danielle, you should face legal consequences. Please come with us."

She was escorted into the car.

The doors of the two police cars were about to close when Nora rushed a few steps forward, exhausted and panting. She stopped in her tracks.

"Danielle."

"Nora, find my brother quickly and ask him to save me! Do you hear me? Hurry and find my brother."

Her voice grew softer and the wind carried it, making it intermittent, until the last word reached Nora's ears, light as a cotton ball.

In the not-so-far distance behind her, Jerry hesitated, his heart tempted to comfort her.

But in the end, it all turned into a powerless sigh.

Forget it, he should avoid meeting Nora from now on.

He believed that with enough time, he could forget about her and return to his own life.

A cool and handsome policewoman in a black uniform approached, patting Jerry's shoulder, and whispered, "Hello there, young man. Please cooperate with the police and come to the police station to provide a detailed statement."

"Okay," Jerry, as the most important witness, followed the police and got into another police car. As he walked past Nora, he couldn't help but glance back at her.

The girl stood in the wind, her skirt being lifted by a breeze, showcasing her long and slender legs. And on that fair and beautiful face, which should have been filled with sorrow, there was now a faint smile. This... confused Jerry on the spot. Was she... actually smiling? Wasn't Danielle her best friend? Before he had a chance to understand what friendship between women really meant, Nora decisively turned and walked away. As for where she was going, he had no idea.

"Please get in the car," he said.

"Okay."

Nora's hidden laughter was naturally due to her also taking pleasure in Danielle's misfortune. Outside, others only knew that she and Danielle had a good relationship, like sisters always together. But they had no idea how much abuse and bullying she had suffered from Danielle. Now Danielle had finally received her comeuppance, and it was well deserved!

However, Nora still followed Danielle's instructions and went to find Teagan. Because she also wanted to know if the news about the Parry Group going bankrupt was true if it was, Nora frowned, her mind silently giving an answer. Naturally, it would be to call off the engagement!

On the ground, the body of their classmate was quickly taken away by the arriving ambulance, leaving only a pool of bright red blood to signify the scene that had just unfolded.

The police car left, the murderer

Danielle was taken away, and the students who had come to watch gradually dispersed. The incident of a female student being killed in the morning at Akloit College became the topic of their conversations during tea breaks, and someone even uploaded a video of the incident on the campus forum, causing a public uproar.

Adding more scandal to the Parry family.

Meanwhile, the head of the Parry family, Teagan, remained unaware as he went to find Jane. From personally apologizing at the Berry Mansion to shamelessly inviting his ex-girlfriend to his company for negotiations, he had no hope at all. But to his surprise, Jane agreed.

The door to the office of the Parry Group's CEO was not completely closed, with a small gap remaining, through which ambiguous sounds could be heard. The woman's seductive moans were unreserved, mixed with low gasps, rhythmically echoing.

"Ah. Teagan, you're still so fierce. Damn it, be a little gentle... Mmm, yeah."

"Don't you like it when I'm like this?"

"I do. Among my current bed partners, there's no one who can compare to you. It's a pity, Nora came to you so easily. Between her and me, who do you prefer? Mmm."

"Why even ask? Of course, it's you. That slut Nora is tasteless and bland. She can't compare to you."

Just outside the door, the assistant felt awkward, not knowing where to look. Although Mr. Parry had been known to be playful before, and there had been instances of him having affairs with his secretary in the office, their behavior had never been this bold and explicit.

Not only her, but the rest of the staff also looked at each other, lowering their heads, wishing they could stuff cotton in their ears. The company was on the verge of collapse, yet Mr. Parry still had the leisure to play with women?

Was this how the world of the wealthy was?
