Chapter 780 Douglas Arrested
A hundred thousand dollars—this was outright humiliation!
"Get out of here! Get lost!" Elara pointed to the door.
"Well, I said I would compensate you, but you didn't want it. Don't blame me... From today on, we're even, and we have nothing to do with each other. Don't bother me again! If you dare to ask me for money, I'll call the police and have you both arrested." Douglas sneered, his smile extremely repulsive.
"Take care, I hope you find a good man. Good luck!" He said sarcastically and left.
"Mom, how could I have fallen for this jerk? I must have been blind... I want to die!" Saffron cried, "Bastard, damn it! He's not even human!"
"What a jerk." Elara couldn't swallow her anger either.
"I want to find someone to beat him up!" Saffron said angrily.
"Don't make things worse. You see what kind of person he is. If he retaliates, it'll be trouble."
"So, are we just going to let this go? He didn't give me a penny and humiliated me like that. I can't get over it."
"Don't be angry, just wait and see. He'll get his comeuppance!"
Juniper stood at the door, overhearing their entire conversation.
'Saffron, this is the result of you scheming to steal a scumbag. Are you happy now?' She sneered inwardly.
Anyway, she was quite happy.
This was the retribution for being a mistress!
Seeing her jumping with rage, Juniper felt very good, extremely satisfied.
"Were you eavesdropping?" Douglas saw her as he came out, his steps pausing.
"Douglas, you're really something. Every time I think I've reached the peak of my disgust for you, you manage to lower the bar even further. You make me realize that some men are a million times more disgusting than cockroaches or maggots."
Douglas laughed instead of getting angry, "You care about me so much, are you in love with me?"
"Looks like that hit to your head yesterday made you stupid."
Douglas's expression changed slightly. She had tried to kill him yesterday, and he was still angry about it, but he couldn't admit it.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Playing dumb? What, afraid I'll accuse you of assault and have you arrested?"
"When did I ever assault you? Don't slander me!"
"Afraid to admit it, you're just a coward!"
"What? Are you trying to extort me like them? I'm not an idiot. Go ahead, call the police! Do it! As long as you have evidence!"
He always kept his head down when coming and going, so the cameras couldn't capture his face, making it impossible to prove anything, so he wasn't afraid at all.
"You have a wound on the back of your head from when I hit you."
"I hurt myself, don't talk nonsense. Accuse me of assault, and I'll accuse you of extortion."
Nothing good comes from dealing with her, at least Douglas now thought he should stay away from her.
"I've broken up with Saffron, and I won't have any dealings with the Cooper family anymore. Juniper, don't bother me again. From now on, let's pretend we don't know each other."
"You're scared..." Saffron smirked.
That smile, cold and dangerous, made Douglas a bit uneasy.
"Scared of what? It's just bad luck to get involved with you guys. I don't want to deal with you anymore."
"Douglas, I won't let this go. I'll personally send you to prison. Very soon, just wait..."
Douglas didn't dare look her in the eyes and fled in panic.
That afternoon, Juniper glanced at her phone. It was three o'clock.
She opened Facebook on time, and sure enough, news of Douglas assaulting a female college student was trending at number one. The girl wasn't even 18 yet.
Reporters interviewed the girl.
Her face was pixelated, and she tearfully recounted how she went to work part-time at a bar to pay for her father's medical bills, only to be dragged into a private room by Douglas and assaulted. She also presented a medical report.
This news immediately caused an uproar. Most netizens condemned Douglas, but some said the girl had issues for working at a bar in the first place. What decent girl would knowingly work in such a dangerous place?
Douglas was surrounded by reporters.
"I don't even know that woman. This is a smear campaign by business rivals. I will definitely find out who is behind this!"
Douglas's attitude was firm, causing some netizens to doubt, but within half an hour, it was quickly confirmed.
A video of Douglas and the girl entering the private room was leaked online. Everyone else left in the middle of the night, but only Douglas came out in the morning.
After being slapped in the face by the evidence, Douglas said, "Yes, I know her, but I was set up. Everyone knows that women in those places are prostitutes. I gave her money, but she wasn't satisfied and tried to extort me. I didn't give in, so she framed me. This is definitely a plot by business rivals. I fell into a trap!"
Douglas tried to clear his name, making the situation more confusing. Netizens couldn't tell what was true, but it was certain that Douglas had a sexual relationship with the girl.
Juniper calmly sipped her orange juice.
She was enjoying the news when Douglas's call suddenly came in, jarringly loud.
Juniper's red lips curled into a smile.
"Juniper, you're behind this! Stop it now!" Douglas angrily demanded.
Juniper mimicked his tone, "Do you have evidence? If you do, call the police. Why waste words?"
"Damn it, what did I ever do to you to deserve this?"
"Isn't this your own doing? You assaulted me and raped that girl, and she's not even 18. Douglas, just that charge is enough to put you in prison for years."
"How much do you want?"
Juniper laughed, "Do you think I need your money?"
"Then what do you want?"
"I want justice for the women you've hurt. I want to see you ruined." Juniper's eyes were fierce.
"Don't act like a saint. You're not some justice warrior; you're just seeking revenge for yourself."
"Isn't that fair? You know I'm not someone who lets others bully me."
"Damn it, getting involved with you is my bad luck!" Douglas said irritably, "I didn't even really do anything to you that day... Do you have to go this far?"
"Attempted rape is still rape, isn't it?"
"I'm not going to argue with you. What will it take for you to stop?"
"Nothing will make me stop! Douglas, the best is yet to come. Get ready for prison." Juniper hung up the phone.
Around five o'clock that day, while netizens were still fiercely debating, several posts exposing Douglas appeared online.
Several actresses and ordinary women came forward, revealing that Douglas had used violence and drugs to assault them, and they had all reported it to the police.
With more and more evidence being exposed online, Douglas's reputation was completely ruined.
The police also formed a special investigation team and arrested Douglas for investigation.
