Chapter 198
At that moment, Lindsey emerged from the bathroom with Domenic, and they quickly left the room.
Shortly after their departure, a squad of uniformed police officers arrived.
They forcefully entered the room and promptly restrained Andrew.
“We received a report of an attempted assault here.
Kindly accompany us to the police station for further questioning!”
Terrified, Shelia hastily straightened her attire and curled up defensively.
One of the officers addressed her.
“Miss, we need you to come to the station for an investigation.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
”
“It’s him, he tried to r@pe me.
You can arrest him.
I don’t want to go to the police station!” Shelia cried out in terror.
“We need your cooperation.
Take her as well!”
As the police escorted Andrew through the hotel lobby, a wave of journalists suddenly poured in through the main entrance from outside.
A thick crowd gathered around, making it impossible to budge.
Cameras from various media outlets snapped pictures continuously, while a few broadcast live to deliver the breaking news promptly.
Reporters eagerly extended their microphones, trying to get the scoop.
“Can you confirm if Andrew Lee, the president of Steadfast Global Trading, is under suspicion of r@pe?”
“Mr.
Andrew Lee, as the company’s CEO, can you explain why you engaged in behavior that contradicts your public image? Aren’t you concerned about your wife, Selah, the former top actress, discovering your actions?”
“Mr.
Lee, is there a conflict between you and your wife? Is there any connection between your actions and Selah’s sudden disappearance from the public view all these years?”
The police struggled to control the crowd and move the suspect, but the press was relentless.
Then they noticed Shelia, her hair in disarray, following behind.
“It appears she’s a new face in the acting scene.
I’ve seen her in a few commercials!”
“Is it possible that she went to the police when things didn’t go her way during those behind-the-scenes dealings?”
“In that case, it’s difficult to determine if it’s a r@pe or a shady transaction.
”
Spectators nearby whipped out their mobile phones and went wild, taking photos of Shelia, who was shielding her face with her arms and shouting, “Please, make it stop! Stop taking photos!”
At that moment, a collective gasp of surprise echoed through the onlookers, “Selah has posted a tweet!”
Five long years had passed since Selah disappeared, her Twitter account stagnant without any new content during this time.
Suddenly, a post of hers surged in popularity, igniting a fervent online search.
In a poignant, thousand-word article, Selah levied accusations against Andrew, speaking with empathy about years of imprisonment and abuse that drove her to retreat from the outside world.
Accompanying the words was a haunting photo revealing her arms covered in painful bruises, a stark visual testament to her ordeal.
Though she refrained from mentioning the unspeakable pain of being r@ped by Andrew, the discourse around imprisonment and abuse sparked a heated online debate.
Discussions related to Selah exploded across screens, injecting a long-lost vitality into the internet, with comments flooding in at lightning speed.
“Damn Andrew! He imprisoned and abused my idol.
