Chapter 6

The police took the video for forensic analysis.

The results came back quickly—the footage hadn't been spliced or edited in any way.

Vanessa and Ryan were completely stunned.

Ryan struck first, immediately throwing all the blame onto Vanessa.

"It was all her idea! She kept nagging about me being broke and came up with this stupid plan."

"The drugging? That was all her. I just helped a little."

"Officer, my part isn't that serious, right?"

Vanessa exploded with rage, jabbing a finger at Ryan's face.

"If you hadn't lied about your family's compensation money from the demolition, I never would've gotten involved with you! Now you're pinning everything on me?"

"Officer, I want to report Ryan for soliciting prostitution."

"I have proof."

It was a spectacular display of dog-eat-dog. If we weren't in a police station, I would've applauded.

My own innocence was confirmed. As for them? Not my problem anymore.

I'd done everything I could. The rest was up to the authorities.

In the end, Vanessa avoided serious consequences due to her pregnancy. Ryan, however, faced several years behind bars.
