Chapter 1472 Isn’t This Ridiculous

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

A drop of liquid dripped from the top of Michael’s head. He was stunned as he subconsciously reached out to touch it. His palm was red with a pungent smell. “What the hell?”
He turned his head around and saw a girl wearing sunglasses and a black mask behind him. “What the fuck are you doing?”
Michael roared in fury. After Anna, whose face was concealed, spilled red paint on his head, she cursed angrily when she saw Michael turn his head, “Die, you son of a bitch!”
After saying that, she took out the pepper spray from her bag decisively and began to spray it at him.
The pepper spray was extremely effective when sprayed at one’s eyes. Before Michael could come to his senses, his eyes went teary and he had trouble opening them. Then his tears began to stream down his cheeks uncontrollably.
He reached out to rub his eyes subconsciously when he heard someone cursing in his ear. “You jerk, you should fucking kill yourself! You’re dead meat!”
Raymond felt that Anna’s voice was very familiar when he heard the scolding. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered who it was in the end.
It was the woman who framed him in the western restaurant the other day. He had been looking for Anna for the past few days but to no avail. He never thought that she would come to him.
“Gosh, it’s you!”
“So what? I’m teaching this jerk a lesson. Don’t meddle in my business if you’re smart.”
Upon hearing Anna’s arrogant voice, Raymond laughed instead due to extreme anger. “How dare you? Fine! I’ve been looking for you high and low, and here you are. You’ve managed to run away last time. Let’s see how you can escape today!”
As Raymond spoke, he sprang to his feet and grabbed her. When she saw him rush over, she let out a curse and sprayed pepper spray towards him. However, she noticed that nothing came out of the nozzle.
In order to teach Michael a lesson just now, she didn’t hold back at all. She had used up the entire bottle of pepper spray.
“Oh no!” Anna thought to herself. Raymond had already grabbed her hand. He said harshly, “Who are you? Why did you attack Michael so viciously? Do you know that you’re breaking the law?”
“It’s none of your business. Let me tell you, don’t meddle in other people’s business. I’ll teach you a lesson if you piss me off!” Anna was not afraid at all. Instead, she talked to Raymond threateningly.
Raymond grew even angrier. “How dare you threaten me? You are too presumptuous! Did your parents teach you manners before? How could you act so ruthlessly?”
“You jerk, what does it have to do with you? I thought you were a bad guy that day. It turned out that my guess is correct. You must be a scum since you’re friends with a scum.” Anna had a bad impression of Raymond.
“How dare you insult me? I’m going to send you to the police station and locked you there for a few days today for the sake of your ignorance!” Raymond was infuriated as well. He grabbed her hand and gripped it hard.
Anna scolded because of the pain, “Let go of me, you jerk, or I’ll have to hurt you!”
“What can you do to me? Let me tell you, since we have witnesses and evidence today, you can’t make an escape this time. Let’s talk in the police station!”
As soon as Raymond finished his words, he saw Anna take out something from her bag quickly and pointed it at him.
He was surprised that she carried an electric baton with her. He was shocked by the electricity and fell on the sofa.
He was angry and upset, so he raised his voice and yelled, “Guards! Someone is attacking me!”
“This jerk doesn’t care about a fair fight at all. He actually called for the security.” Anna thought lowly of Raymond now.
However, a wise man would not put up a fight when the odds were against him. She should not stay here any longer. Being caught had serious consequences.
She stopped and tried to flee. The bar’s security guards heard the ruckus and rushed over quickly. Her escape route was blocked completely.
Michael covered his eyes with his hands. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. Raymond didn’t dare to stay there too. He had to send Michael to the hospital first to see if he was hurt.
He helped Michael up and ordered the security guard while pointing at Anna, “Take her to the police station. I’ll bring Michael to the hospital to examine his eyes. I’ll go to the police station later.”
The security guard agreed readily. “Okay, we’ll take her to the police station immediately.”
“Don’t forget to copy the surveillance video and send it to the police station as well. Michael’s eyes are hurt. This is not a minor incident. You have to think it through. If anything goes wrong, you can forget about running your bar here!”
The security guard did not dare to take him lightly once Michael’s name was mentioned. “Don’t worry. We know what to do!”
Raymond helped Michael as they left for the hospital. The security guard looked at Anna coldly. “Will you go by yourself or should we help you?”
She glared at him angrily. “Try laying a finger on me if you dare. Let me tell you, let me go immediately if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, you’ll regret your decision later!”
“This matter has nothing to do with us. You’re the one who deliberately hurt someone in a bar. Why did you have to provoke Michael? Jail is where you’ll end up in!”
“Since I dare to teach him a lesson, do you think I’m afraid of him? You’d better not get involved in this. Michael can close your bar down, but so can my brother!”
The security guards were in a tough spot now. They couldn’t afford to offend Michael but they also didn’t know who the woman in front of them was, so they didn’t dare to offend her too. They said in a gentle tone, “You must go to the police station to explain your actions since you’ve hit someone in public. Otherwise, we will also have to bear the responsibility for it.”
Anna refused to go to the police station. “I won’t go there. If you dare to lay a finger on me, my brother will kill you!”
She sounded extremely arrogant, and the security guards were at a loss for what to do. In the end, they called the police and she was taken away by them.
Anna had planned to run away secretly after teaching Michael a lesson. Now that the police had been alerted, she could not cover up this matter anymore.
It seemed that she had to inform Richard so that he could save her. However, she would definitely have an earful from him if he knew about this.
Anna had no intention of being scolded by him. When the police inquired about her name, age, and address as usual at the police station, she just stayed silent.
She was thinking about how to save herself nervously. After pondering about it for a while, William suddenly came to mind.
Her eyes lit up in hope. She said to the policeman who was questioning her, “Call William. I’m his sister.”
“Are you joking? Since when did William have a younger sister?”
“Did I say I’m his biological sister? Anyway, I’m close to him. Just call him and ask him to come over.”
“We don’t have his phone number. Call him yourself if you can!”
It went without saying that Anna didn’t have William’s phone number either. She lied to the police. “I can’t call him because I’ve lost my phone. I don’t remember his phone number. Call him and let me talk to him. He will understand the situation.”
Since Anna sounded convincing, the policeman was a little dubious. In the end, he had to call the higher-ups to ask for instructions. The higher-ups knew Marcus personally so they called and asked him.
Marcus cracked a smile immediately once he heard this. “Isn’t that ridiculous? Since when did Mr. Howard have a younger sister? Let me see who’s the fool that dares to pretend to be his younger sister.”
