Chapter 1366
To further convince Lucy, Sigmund took out his phone to show her the video the influencer posted on her Facebook. “Did you see that, Ms. Rivers? Not only did the influencer record the things you said and put the video up on social media, but she also included a photo of Mrs. Thompson's side profile. You have to pay the price for your action, and so does the influencer. If you still think I'm threatening you, feel free to read up information online to verify what I'd said about the detainment.”
Lucy stared at the screen, and her face turned brick-red. “I-I didn't know someone actually put that up on the internet.”
She really had no idea.
At the same time, she quickly fished out her phone to check if a person would be detained when his or her defamatory content received more than five hundred likes and shares on the internet.
Upon reading the results, Lucy was struck dumb. It was as if she had fallen into a deep crevice of a glacier.
What he said is true!
The court could indeed issue a warrant of arrest to detain the defamatory content creators when the content received more than five hundred likes and shares on the internet.
No. I don't want to be detained. Never!
Shane will despise me even more if that happens!
Lucy's body trembled. She glared at Natalie with her bloodshot eyes and pleaded, “Forgive me, Mrs. Thompson. Please forgive me, will you? I don't want to be detained. I really don't want to be detained.”
Lucy finally got off her high horse and begged for Natalie's forgiveness between sobs.
After all, no one wanted to be detained, as it would leave a record that would adversely impact their lives.
Natalie gave Lucy an icy stare as she did not buy her crocodile tears. She responded coldly, “I've given you a chance earlier. I told you I'd let it slide as long as you compensate me. After all, I didn't want to waste my time. Yet, you failed to cherish the opportunity I'd given you. Since you refused to accept my offer, I guess it's time for you to go to the detention center.”
Natalie stood up and was ready to leave.
Upon noticing Natalie was about to leave, Lucy went up and tried to grab her wrist. ”Mrs. Thompson!”
But before she could reach Natalie, Sigmund and the other bodyguards got up and stopped her from approaching.
Natalie looked up at Lucy indifferently. “I think it's good for you to spend some time in the detention center. Take this opportunity to brush up on your legal knowledge so that you can avoid making the same mistake. Good luck, Ms. Rivers.”
Natalie then left in the company of two bodyguards and walked out of the lounge.
The other two bodyguards stayed back and apprehended Lucy. They would send her to the police station later.
Of course, Lucy refused to go to the police station. She did not want to be sent to the detention center as well.
When the bodyguards got hold of her, she shrieked, “Let me go! Let me go now!”
The bodyguards ignored her. Instead of releasing her, they even tightened their grip on her arms.
“Please keep quiet,” one of the bodyguards warned her.
His warning fell on deaf ears. Lucy continued to pull herself away from the men. “Did you hear what I said just now? I said let me go!”
“Let you go?” One of the bodyguards let out a cold snort. “Do you think we'll let you go? You've committed a crime and offended Mrs. Thompson. You asked for it! Since you have the audacity to defame Mrs. Thompson, I supposed you're prepared to go to the detention center. Move!”
He then turned to the other bodyguard and whispered a few words in his ears. The other bodyguard nodded in acknowledgment.
The two bodyguards then dragged Lucy out of the lounge.
Lucy continued screaming. She even tried to get the other airport passengers' attention by accusing the men of abducting her, hoping they would step in to rescue her.
Though the commotion she caused did arouse the crowd's curiosity, none of them went up to rescue her.
They felt something was amiss since none of the airport cops came to her rescue when she was taken away by two bodyguards.
Hence, ordinary folks like them should not poke their nose into other people's businesses.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
