Chapter 297
The police station was in the suburbs, a district known for itsw and order. Generally, few people would
call the police or report cases, and the police officers there were under a little less pressure.
However, that day, the police station could be considered crowded. All kinds of noises and screams
echoed, and the outsiders might think that something terrible was happening.
Paxton was going through the procedures. The police officers who took statements noticed Paxton’s
extraordinary aura. They thought, “The man and woman sitting aside must be from prestigious families. I
can tell it from a nce.
“Although they are still young, they are already so good-looking, not inferior to those movie stars.”
The one who called the police was a driver. He passed the tunnel and witnessed the affray. ording to
his narration, the police arranged for two patrol cars to head to the scene.
Unexpectedly, those who fought weren’t brought back to the police station by the two patrol cars but
were sent to the hospital by a dozen ambnces. Paxton received a call and rushed to the police station
after the fight.
The police officer on duty looked up at Paxton and said politely, “The witness told us that the girl in a
ck hoodie was also involved. We’d like to take her statement. He was referring to Catherine.

Without Branden’s order, Paxton dared not to allow others to disturb Catherine. Just as he was about to
refuse the police officer, Catherine stood up and walked over.
Since the police were fulfilling their duty, Catherine had no intention of causing them trouble. As she
approached, Paxton bowed respectfully to her and then got the chair ready for her to sit.
Paxton’s respectful attitude stunned the police officer and even caused his gaze on Catherine to change
slightly. The officer didn’t return to his senses until Paxton coughed twice to remind him.
Hearing Paxton’s cough, the officer finally reacted. He looked at Catherine in embarrassment and
apologized, I’m sorry. I was distracted by the case just now.”
Was he distracted by the case? Or was he just stunned by Catherine’s domineering aura? Only he knew
the answer. Catherine raised her eyebrows casually. “It doesn’t matter. Go ahead.”.
“Okay.” The officer regained hisposure. Although he looked serious, his tone remained gentle and
polite. “Please tell me what happened and the details of it.”
Catherine nodded slightly and said briefly.
“The group of people tried to kidnap me, and I had no choice but to resist.”
A simple sentence contained two key points, which left the officer dumbfounded. “They tried to kidnap
you?”
Wasn’t it just a street fight?
The opposing counsel heard Catherine’s words and immediately retorted. Among the masked men, only
two were slightly injured, and the rest were seriously injured and had been sent to the hospital.
They suffered from varying degrees of fracture, and one was still in the emergency room because of
severe head injuries.
After learning about the situation, the man behind them contacted awyer. Thewyer raised his
objections when hearing Catherine’s narration.
He patted the desk angrily, looking like a man of justice. “Sir, it is a horrific crime. At first, it was just a
minor dispute, and my clients could have resolved the misunderstanding peacefully. However, she chose
apletely different way instead. She not only injured my clients badly but also forced them to a dead
end! What she did is definitely unforgivable!
“I know she is studying at the Loyalty Academy, which ranks the top in our city. I didn’t expect such a
prestigious school to have a shameless student like her.”
Thewyer looked at Catherinecently as he expressed himself with passion. It was as if he would
undoubtedly win thewsuit.
As the top university in Casier, it was difficult for ordinary students to be admitted to the Loyalty
Academy. Besides excellent school performance, the school also paid much attention to students’
character and conduct.
Fighting with others outside the school was obviously bad conduct, and being involved in a serious case
would also ruin one’s reputation. Thewyer believed that Catherine was afraid of it.
The police officer sized up Catherine for seconds. He thought, “She looks young and should be a
university student. It is surprising that she is from a top university.
“If she is a student, the case will be more thorny.
“ording to the current evidence and the witness’ narration, it appears to be an affray. And once the
truth is discovered, she would be at a great disadvantage.”
Thewyer was d to see Catherine fall silent. Subconsciously, he began to threaten Catherine as he
often did to others before.
“Miss, my clients are all in the hospital now, and one is badly injured. He is still in the emergency room,
and his life may be in danger. So, don’t even think of settling. You will have topensate them and
even go to jail. Quickly ask your family to get a capablewyer to reduce the prison sentence for you.
“Also, you have another choice. Be sincere and take the initiative to apologize to my clients. This way,
you can appeal to the judge for leniency.”
Paxton was irritated by thewyer’s arrogance. He wondered, “How did he dare to be so provocative?
How could he be so confident?”
Paxton could not say anything if Catherine didn’t give him a cue. Thewyer was indeed good at calling
white ck, and Catherine could not help but give him a once-over, head to toe.
Short and dark, thewyer didn’t look like an upright person at all. There was a conspicuous mole beside
his big nose, making him more frivolous. Moreover, two hairs grew from the mole and looked quite
disgusting.
“You want me to apologize to them?” Catherine snorted. “Alright, I will.”
Thewyer thought that Catherine was going topromise. However, the next second, he heard her
cold voice. “I will apologize to him in front of his tombstone. Just wait for a while.”
Thewyer understood the implied meaning in Catherine’s words, and he red at her. “You…”
Catherine interrupted him and said, ” How? You just said that he is dying. So I will mourn him after he
dies. Is there any wrong with it?”
Thewyer’s face turned ashen when he heard Catherine’s words. He angrily rebuked, “Girl, how sharp-
tongued you are. But it is useless. You can’t get away! You will be put into jail for at least three years! I’m
not threatening you, you know?”
Neither Catherine nor thewyer was willing to admit defeat. The police officer finally couldn’t stand their
argument. He patted the desk and stopped them. “Enough! I’m the police, okay?”
With that, he reprimanded thewyer.
“You are not in court. Don’t chime in when I’m taking statements.”
What thewyer did was against the rules of the police station. He just took the chance to mess around
and left the police with a bad impression of Catherine.
The police officer turned to question Catherine after settling the dispute.
“You just said you resisted them because they tried to kidnap you. If that was the case, how did they get
injured? Who beat them up?”
Catherine replied calmly without hesitation, “Me.”
