Chapter 2991: Chapter 3000: That 750 Thousand Was Hush Money
The policewoman impatiently knocked on the table, sarcastically addressing the wealthy lady taking photos with her phone beside her, "Miss Anderson, please calm down. Don’t yell at me, and don’t forget there are cameras recording us."
Renee Anderson’s face turned green, then white, then purple with her mocking. After a moment, she clenched her fist on her knee and regained her composure, "That money was given to me willingly by him, I did not commit fraud."
The policewoman was a bit disappointed she calmed down so quickly and stated blandly, "Miss Anderson, I think you’re mistaken. Just because the victim willingly gave you money doesn’t mean it’s not fraud. Ninety-nine percent of the fraud cases we handle involve victims willingly sending money. Otherwise, it would be called robbery."
That slap was harsh!
"The victim reported you, Miss Anderson, for defrauding him of 750 thousand, and we need to conduct a routine investigation. You claim the money was willingly transferred to you by the victim, may I ask why the victim would willingly give you such a large sum?" The policewoman opened a folder, held a pen, and prepared to take notes while asking her questions.
Renee’s face turned colors dramatically, "This is my privacy, I don’t want to say!"
The policewoman put down the pen, somewhat impatiently, "Is Miss Anderson ignorant of the law or uneducated? You are now suspected of fraud. You can choose not to cooperate with the police’s work, but this way we will only find you evasive, refusing to explain."
Renee bit down on her lower lip, feeling deeply humiliated. Facing the policewoman’s aggressive questioning, she had no way out, gritting her teeth she quietly gave the reason, "That 750 thousand was hush money."
"Oh?"
Things had reached this point, if she didn’t speak, she might really not get out of the police station today. Her face looked unpleasant as she painfully recounted the incident of Adam Sinclair getting drunk, insisting through gritted teeth that it was hush money for an incident where they had ’relations.’
The policewoman seemed to already know about this, scrutinizing her with an overt gaze as she described the events of that day, barely keeping the sarcasm and disdain off her face.
Renee felt extremely embarrassed, a feeling mixed with unease, and finally finished saying the last word with difficulty, "That’s how it is, legally speaking this isn’t considered fraud, it’s a gift. Am I right, officer!"
The word "officer" was pronounced with a heavy weight, filled with resentment and anger.
The policewoman remained unfazed, pushing another document in front of her, calmly saying, "If things really happened as Miss Anderson described, then the 750 thousand would indeed count as a gift from Mr. Sinclair. However, we have obtained new information. This is the evidence provided by the victim, please take a look."
The unease in Renee’s heart grew stronger!
She slowly reached for the document, opened the folder, and her face immediately became even more unpleasant!
She could hardly control her emotions, her fingers trembled as she slammed the folder shut with a bang, pushing the whole folder aside, "These are all fabricated! Evidence? Just a few photos, how can they be considered evidence!"
Adam Sinclair, Adam Sinclair actually found that bartender!
Damn it, she gave that bartender 300 thousand to find a place without anyone for two years, and yet just over a month later, she had already been found!
Renee’s heart raced fast, she had just undergone an abortion procedure, her emotions flaring up, then being brought to the police station right after the operation, her lower abdomen felt like being pierced with needles.
