Donald continued, “You should think it over. After all Channing would rather burn the photos to protect you than use them as the evidence to defend himself in court.”

After Donald left, Winnie covered her face with her hands. She leaned against the cold wall and fell slowly onto the ground. She crouched at the corner and cried with her face buried in her arms.

Why ...

For a long while, what audible in the corridor was just the sound of sobbing.

Finally, Winnie leaned against the wall to help herself stand up, her eyes red and her cheeks covered all over with traces of tears.

She wiped off the tears on face and walked directly into the hall. She found a police officer who was at work, “I have a case to report.”

Instantly, the whole hall was reigned by silence.

Apart from police men here, other people in the hall such as suspects or victims all turned to look at her and then they recognized her.

As the people around were about to take out his phone to take photos of her, Donald walked over and hid her behind him. He said to the police officer standing nearby, “My client has a certain amount of public influence. Shall we take the statement in a separate room?”

He nodded and led them to leave the hall.

Donald whispered to Winnie, “You don’t have to be nervous. By then you should be honest with all the questions asked by the police officer. I will handle the rest of it.”

Winnie nodded. Though her face was still pale and her eyes were red and swollen, a sense of determination had climbed on her face.

In the room, the police man asked her, “What kind of case is it?”

Sitting on the sofa, Winnie answered with her hands clenched, “A man called Chassell Barret had threatened me for several times. The guard of the neighborhood I lived in and the surveillance tape at the gate can testify my words.”

He said, “Apart from this, is there anything else you want to report?”

Halted for seconds and she had herself in control and said with quiver in her voice, “He took a photo secretly on which I am naked. And...”

Noticing her hesitance, the police officer asked, “What’s the relationship between you and Chassell Barret?”
