Fear enveloped Tori's face when she saw Katrina sitting in the police station, and
she reflexively hugged her arms when she sensed at chill.
How is this possible? How did Katrina get arrested? Didn't she say it was
foolproof?! Wasn't she confident of not being caught?! It has only been less than
three hours since Josephine’s scandal was out, and Katrina has already been
arrested! She even sold me out! Thank goodness the cops didn’t mention my full
name.
However, the words “female news anchor’ and “Alford’ made her panic, for she
was the only female news anchor whose surname was Alford in the station!
Tori held her chest as uneasiness arose within her. What's to become of me if
Katrina's been arrested?! Just then, her phone rang. Seeing it was an unknown
number, she took a deep breath and answered it, “Hello, who is this?”
“Is this Tori Alford?” the caller went straight to the point. “This is her speaking.
Who is this on the line?”
“This is the city police department. We need you to come and cooperate with us
on a case and give a statement,” said the female voice on the other end of the
line.
“Now? But it's already nine, Tori said, thinking her social status should give her
some leverage. “The station is available 24/7. Someone will be available to take
your statement. I suggest you come now.”
“C-Can I go tomorrow?” Tori tried to bargain. “We will personally go to you if you
don’t come on your own. Your choice! Goodnight, Miss Alford.” With that, the
caller hung up.
Tori bit her lip in anger. It seemed that her social status didn’t carry much weight
with the police. She quickly thought of someone she knew and made a call for
help. “Thomas, I'm in a bit of trouble. Can you help me out?”
After getting the other person’s agreement to help her, Tori finally walked out with
her bag. However, she found her colleagues staring at her as soon as she came
out, and there were whispers and finger-pointing wherever she went.
No one normally dared speak ill of her behind. her back. But this very day, she
became a public target. “It's her, isn't it? She's the one the statement is referring
to.”
“It can only be her! Is there another anchorwoman with the surname Alford in our
station?” “To think she’s an accomplice in Josephine’s scandal! Poor Josephine.”
“Tell me about it. I feel so bad for looking down on Josephine now.”
When Tori entered the elevator, she could even feel her female colleagues’
disdainful gazes on her. A bold one even deliberately asked her fellow female
colleague. “Say, who do you think is Katrina's accomplice? Do we have an Alford
anchorwoman in our station?”
“Of course, we do! Do you not know?” “Sigh! I swear these people have nothing
better to do! To think they continue to frame other people when they're already
news anchors!”
“You can say that again. The wicked are still wicked no matter how pretty they
look.” Alas, Tori could only suck it up even when she had been insulted indirectly.
Now, she finally realized what Josephine was capable of.
After leaving the station, Tori ultimately drove straight to the police station, and
when she arrived, the man she asked for help held Tori's hand with ill intentions
from inside the car. “Don’t worry, okay, Tori? I'll take care of this. This is nothing!
Go give your statement and leave the rest to me.”

We'll talk when you come out.” It was
