Spencer felt so humiliated that he walked out of the meeting room with his clothes covering his handcuffs, but people looked at him strangely as he was caught between two police officers. Even though he had always been calm and rational, now he could not help but be distracted.
Normally, if there was a case involving him, the police would only come to him for questioning before they had enough evidence. If they were to go out and arrest him like that, they must have some evidence!
The more Spencer thought about it, the colder he felt in the police car.
However, when they arrived at the police station and got out of the car, they saw Ewan waiting at the door with his personal lawyer. Spencer heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what case he was involved into, he would simply deny it!
When the lawyer saw Spencer, he immediately came up to him. Ignoring the warning from the policeman’s eyes, he reminded Spencer not to answer any questions lightly. Spencer felt confident and nodded calmly.
Spencer didn’t know why until he was in an interrogation room.
Rape Nia!?
That was why he was so disgraced today!
Every question asked by the police was automatically ignored by Spencer, who lowered his head slightly. And his eyes were with a murderous light.
No wonder she didn’t struggle much that night, and no wonder she opened the door knowing that he was going to hurt her. Nia, good for you!
“Spencer Davies!” Seeing that Spencer had been silent, the police who was interrogating him got angry, “You didn’t hear my question?!”
“I want to talk to my lawyer,” Spencer said, looking up.
“This is not USA!” said the policeman sternly. “Here, you need to answer truthfully what we ask!”
“What’s my answer to something I didn’t do?” Spencer said, still unperturbed.
“Of course we have enough evidence before we arrested you,” the officer said. “I urge you to cooperate with our investigation, confess everything as soon as possible. Perhaps you’ll get a lighter sentence.”
Spencer sneered.
He knew the tricks so he stopped laughing. “I want to talk to my lawyer,” he said
Spencer was adamant and silent, and the officers in the room looked at each other and sighed. They could only agree to his request, but not now.
“You can talk to your lawyer, but not until tomorrow.”
“What?!” Spencer couldn’t stay calm this time.
The most painful punishment and insult was to spend the night in the police station.
“You heard what we said,” the officer said to his colleague. “Take him to the station and hold him overnight. We’ll deal with him tomorrow.”
Spencer had not had time to wake up from the shock, and the day of the major newspapers coincidentally published a breaking news.
Nia was suing Spencer for rape! And it was rumored that Nia had solid evidence on her hands, which was why Spencer was arrested immediately.
For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar.
Nia’s feud with Spencer was well-known in Athegate, but a few days ago Spencer was happily christening his daughter with his fiancee Lucia, and a few days later he was arrested because of her. This kind of rich family grudge made people can not help but sigh.
At the same time, journalists were flocking to Spencer’s villa, Nia’s apartment, Webbex Group, and Cloudwork. Even Davonnis Corp was besieged by journalists who wanted first-hand information.
However, except for Nia, everyone else was keeping their mouths shut.
Outside Nia’s apartment, she had a tearful meeting with several reporters from a major magazine, accusing Spencer of committing atrocities against her, and claiming that she would get justice for herself unless Spencer was brought to justice, or else she will never give up.
The next morning, after a meeting with Spencer, the lawyer told him what had happened, and Spencer flew into a rage, slamming tables and chairs on the spot.
“Mr. Davies, calm down,” said the lawyer, who had seen it so many times that he appeared calmer than Spencer,
“Can you tell me exactly what happened?”
“Is it safe?” Spencer looked cautiously at the side window. At this moment, he was dressed in a prison uniform. Although it had only been a night, the stubble on his face had already appeared. His eyes looked tired, but they were still glowing. And he looked very jumpy.
“This conversation is completely confidential,” the lawyer assured Spencer.
Spencer calmed down, picked up his chair, and sat down again. He told the lawyer exactly what had happened that night,
“This is Nia’s trap. We used to be lovers. Although we officially broke up, we’ve been contacted. It’s not impossible for us to have sex. She deliberately recorded this and used it as evidence to falsely accuse me. You must help me find a way out of this!”
“So she opened the door for you and said something to provoke you?” The lawyer didn’t respond immediately, but asked Spencer every detail.
“That’s right,” Spencer said affirmatively. “I wouldn’t have lost my mind and gone after her drunk if she hadn’t challenged me at my daughter’s christening that night. She set this whole thing up!”
“I see. I’ll defend you on that point,” replied the lawyer. “You must not mention the rape case in any subsequent questioning. Just mention the fact that Nia was verbally stimulating you earlier, that she let you in the door. I’ll take care of the rest for you.”
“Okay,” Spencer said hopefully. “I’ll leave that to you, and I need you to get a message to Ewan.”
“Go ahead, Mr. Davies,” the lawyer said, carefully listening to Spencer’s words. “I’ll be sure to pass that along.”
After the talk, Spencer did indeed receive a new round of questioning, and as instructed by his lawyer, he only mentioned Nia’s irritation and denied the fact that she had been raped. He kept hinting to the police that he and Nia had been having an affair, and the trial stalled again.
On the other hand, after pretending to be poor and confirming that Spencer was in custody, Nia reached out to Jacob and told him what she had done. Nia thought that Jacob would praise her for doing a good job, but never had thought that he would get angry at her after hearing this.
“Are you out of your mind?! Accusing Spencer of raping you?! Do you have any idea how serious this is?!”
Nia was so taken aback by Jacob that she retorted in a daze, “Jacob… am I doing the wrong thing?”
