Bailey smiled sheepishly and pointed toward the surveillance cameras above her. “They are the ones who started it first. My retaliation is merely an act of instinct. In law terms, we call that justified self-defense. Please watch the footage before getting me convicted.”

The officer scrunched his brows and swept his gaze over to scrutinize the crowd.

“S-Sir, she was the one who spoke rudely first, and that's why somebody decided to teach her a lesson.”

“Yeah. She taunted us first.”

“She's a cocky and arrogant copycat. You must get her locked up in jail for a few days.”

Bailey rubbed her temples in exasperation.

Aren't they worried they'll die a horrible death for giving a false statement? They should be careful of retributions for doing too many evil deeds.

The officer took out a pair of handcuffs and placidly instructed, “Follow us back.”

“I-I...”

“Don't worry. We will watch the surveillance footage. If they are the ones who started it first, I'll make sure you won't be wrongly accused. But for now, I will need you to cooperate with investigations, so you have to make a trip to the police station with us.”

Bailey heaved a sigh. Left with no other choices, she stretched her arms out under the crowd's deadly gazes.

Following a click sound, her wrists were cuffed.

In that instant, she looked up into the sky, speechless. F*ck. Did I just get arrested? I've never gone off the rails all these years while abroad. I can't believe I'm going to jail the moment I return. Won't I become their laughingstock if that bunch of people learned about this?

“Justice has long arms. This copycat is finally going to jail.”

“Yeah. What goes around comes around eventually. Sir, please lock her in jail for a longer time. My daughter especially loves Snowflake's work, and she was bawling her eyes out after finding out that someone plagiarized Snowflake's work. You have to punish that copycat. Otherwise, the younger generations will get influenced by people like her.”

That officer lightly nodded and explained, “Rest assured. The law will bring justice for everyone.”

Finishing his sentence, he signaled to his subordinates around him. “Take those on the floor back with us too.”

By now, the reporters were snapping photos at an insane speed. The noises of the continuous clicks of the shutter buttons filled the entire atmosphere.

Likewise, news reports were getting increasingly scandalous.

Cocky copycat a lost cause; finally caught by the police.

“Tsk tsk. The copycat no longer needs a court summons. Just get her from jail on the day of the trial.”
