Chapter 970 Bearing The Consequences

Chapter 970 Bearing the Consequences

The efficiency of the police was quite impressive, as they arrived within a short ten minutes or so. Jenna had provided them with most of the specific details when she made the call to report the incident. The police wasted no time and immediately took Jenna and all the present media reporters into custody.

The scene was quite spectacular and quickly made its way onto the internet through the efforts of some people with intentions.

"Oh my god, is this for real? She actually called the police?"

"I have a friend who sent over a video, it seems true!"

"If she called the police, does that mean nobody can manipulate the situation no matter who they are?"

"Could it be that Jenna is really being falsely accused?"

A myriad of opinions flooded the internet. Even those who were initially convinced of Jenna's guilt couldn't help but waver. The fact that Jenna dared to report this incident to the police in front of so many people suggested that there might be more to the story. It's important to note that the police wouldn't take this lightly.

And as for Jenna, who had become the subject of everyone's discussion, she remained composed while seated in the police car. Accompanying her was a female officer who, after some hesitation, decided to speak up, "Miss Stout, this is a rather complex matter, involving a lot of public opinion. I'd like to ask, what evidence can you provide us with?"

The police were quite vexed by this situation. Moreover, the entire incident had been trending online from start to finish. If they were to take on this case, the entire investigation process would have to be transparent and made public online. Any inconsistencies would likely be met with skepticism from netizens.

Jenna pursed her lips and gave a slightly embarrassed smile to the female officer beside her. "I don't have any evidence here, and I have no idea how this whole thing got pinned on me. But I can assure you of one thing: I absolutely did not do this."

The entire situation was utterly bewildering. Apart from receiving that phone call and being questioned in front of Lorelai that day, Jenna was completely clueless about the whole thing.

Seeing the disbelieving expression of the female officer beside her, Jenna quickly added, "To be honest, I don't even know what happened online. All I know is that it seems like Lorelai had some indecent photos leaked, but I have no idea about the specifics."

The photos were too explicit and were quickly taken down from the internet, but everyone knew about it.

Jenna had no clue what was going on.

The female police officer looked at Jenna in shock and instinctively took a deep breath.

If Jenna's story was true, then she would become a victim of cyberbullying without having done anything wrong? "I am pitiful, aren't I?"

Jenna felt like God was playing a joke on her.

After hearing this, the female police officer awkwardly laughed. She didn't know how to respond to this statement.

But given the current situation, if everything Jenna said was true, then she really did have it rough.

The car fell silent as Jenna closed her eyes and enjoyed the rare moment of peace while leaning back in her seat.

However, things would get much harder once they arrived at the police station.

Jenna knew very well that under these circumstances, these police officers wouldn't trust her much since Lorelai had presented them with an audio recording of their conversation together.

If she had known that this recording would become a weapon against herself later on, she would have made things clear with Lorelai back then...

She only considered Lorelai's feelings at that time and never thought things would turn out like this...

Jenna felt tears welling up in her eyes as she realized how many years of friendship were destroyed so easily.

Was all of this really just because of something she did wrong?

Living under the Williams family's roof made Jenna feel guilty every time they spent money on her behalf.

They soon arrived at the police station where Jenna waited for questioning in another room while reporters were taken into another room. Jenna couldn't care less about those reporters. She warned them beforehand to report truthfully but they still chose clickbait over honesty. So naturally, they had to bear the consequences.

As for Jenna herself, it wasn't long before the police came in with their recording devices.

The police officer's attitude was quite good.

"Hello, Miss Stout, we would like to ask you about the specifics of your report."

After saying this, the police officer quickly opened his recorder and began monitoring while asking Jenna questions in front of his computer.

"Could you please tell us what happened?"

Jenna nodded when she heard this question.

"The story goes like this: Lorelai, who is also my good friend and the person who sent out that video, asked me for money. However, I didn't have that much money so I refused..."

Jenna explained how she refused to lend Lorelai money but did not mention her being kidnapped by Isaias because she didn't want people knowing about it.

"Miss Stout, are you saying that audio was recorded during your meeting with Lorelai? But why didn't you deny it at first?"

This was an important reason why Jenna ended up in such a situation. If Jenna had denied this incident at first, then things wouldn't have gotten so bad online. After all, in that audio clip Jenna basically admitted to everything without denying anything outright.

"You can hear from the audio clip itself that Lorelai was quite emotional at the time. I thought if I denied it directly, then she would become even more agitated since she already believed I did it."

But Jenna never expected her momentary kindness would bring such trouble upon herself now..

"I wish I had said something different back then, or else maybe I wouldn't be here right now."
