Chapter 86: Jessica Begging

The police eventually arrived, but because

Evan was Evan, they agreed to evaluate both sides before taking anyone for

questioning. Evan wanted to take the

discussion in the other ballroom, but Shantelle said, “No, let everyone who has

come out here stay.”

Shantelle glanced at those who had

earlier judged her. She said, “It will be good for everybody to make their own decisions about what happened.”

Looking out to the others, she added, And to those who had posted this on social media, please continue to put it on your live feed. Let the community be the judge as well.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

When Shantelle sat on her designated

chair, Scarlett, the lawyer, winked at her,

11

and she winked back. Shantelle did not know why, but it felt to her she and the attorney were entirely in sync.

Scarlett sat beside her while Evan took the other seat to Shantelle’s left. Keith was behind Shantelle, and so was Karise. Wendell and Sean also came out, along with William, her father. Evan did not

bother calling his parents out. He did not want his father to have added stress, considering he was still recovering from his operation.

A police officer divided the crowd. One from Jessica’s side and one from

Shantelle’s side.

The authorities who were present already aided in securing the weapon in Jessica’s arm. Now, her wound was covered appropriately by the hotel nurse. The injury was not too deep, and it did not

require surgery. Thus, Jessica was capable

of explaining her side of the story.

“Let’s start with Miss Turner. Please tell

us what happened?” The police asked.

Jessica turned to her father. Jason nodded

back at her. Some of his business

acquaintances expressed their support and stood by them. Some couples, who wholeheartedly believed Jessica, gave them support as well.

“I was in the restroom when Doctor

Shant came in. I think she followed

behind me,” Jessica narrated. “She

confronted me about the article that came

out, but I kept telling her I had no idea about it, and besides, that article was just saying that I was a good match to Mister Thompson.”

“Suddenly, she stabbed me in the arm! She said she wanted to kill me!” Jessica described. Tears began to roll down her

face again. “You all heard her being jealous earlier. She was very envious of

me.”

“She was so strong. I was powerless over her. She said she wanted to kill me for trying to get in between her relationship with Mister Thompson. Jealousy can do that to a woman, you know.” Jessica

looked at the individuals around her and said, “Many women have been killed because of jealousy!”

“You can check the lipstick knife. It would have Doctor Shant’s fingerprints on it,” Jessica added.

“You lying bitch!” Behind Shantelle,

Keith spoke, “Shanty would never hurt anyone. Watch me ban you from any insurance company.”

Scarlett opened her mouth, ready to

question Jessica’s claims. However,

Shantelle raised a hand, suggesting she wanted to speak. Shantelle said, “Allow

me.”

Scarlett nodded in approval.

Shantelle calmly looked at the police officers. She narrated her version of the story, telling everyone how Jessica tricked her into holding the lipstick. Then, she said, ” Police officers, everyone, I am a surgeon. I am one of the best in my field. Almost every day, I hold a surgical knife and use it to save lives. Given my anatomy knowledge and skill in holding a knife, if I truly intended to kill Miss Turner as she claims, I certainly WILL NOT FAIL.” 2

“Why would I stab her in the outer arm when I know where her major veins are? I would have aimed for her brachial artery or jugular vein, leaving her to die in just seconds. She wouldn’t be here to tell the

tale,” Shantelle described. “On another note, why would anyone want to stage a killing in a hotel full of people, much more in my husband’s event?”

Shantelle looked around and asked, “Any other medical professionals here? You know what I am talking about.”

The nurse who had earlier attended to Jessica nodded repeatedly. She said, That makes sense.”

The moment Shantelle let out those

words, the crowd surrounding them began to whisper, considering Shantelle’s remarks.

Then Shantelle smiled at Jessica, saying, When you plan out this whole scheme, you didn’t think this through, did you?”

“Oh, my god. Did Jessica stage this whole act?” One guest said, and the rest began to pick up on what Shantelle suggested.

“I bet if we order the court for your credit

card history, we will find that you

purchased the lipstick knife. Right, Miss

Turner?” The lawyer implied.

Jessica’s face paled. She turned to her

father, and seeing how he was also

stupified, she answered without thinking, “Yes, she is a knowledgeable doctor, but I fought back so she could not stab me properly.”

Laughter left Scarlett’s lips; she said, ” Didn’t you say you were overpowered? Besides, every stab- wound victim who fought back would have cuts in their

hands and below the forearm as a way to protect themselves you, on the other hand, have none.”

Just then, James returned with a laptop and a speaker. He placed it at the table meant to be the receiving area for the

event. Seeing how they were ready to fry the Turners, Evan stood up and said, “But let’s not waste any more of our precious

moll up

time because we have a party to attend.”

Evan glowered at Jason and Jessica, saying, “I was going to discuss this with

you privately, but seeing how you had called out my wife in the way you did, let’s go public all the way.

“Are those taking videos still recording?” Evan asked. After seeing nods, he said, Then, let’s watch this.”

“What

what is that?” Jessica asked. ”

Did you install a camera in the ladies’ room? That is against our privacy!”

“Of course not!” Evan barked. “I respect women’s privacy in using the restroom.” He pointed to Shantelle and revealed, I did, however, put a camera on my wife’s necklace.”

“I knew you were on to something the

moment you approached my wife, so I took measures.” Without giving Jessica a chance to report, he ordered his

assistant, “Play it, James!”

In her seat, Jessica was taking deep

breaths. Blood drained out from her face

as she studied the laptop. ‘Is Evan serious? Maybe he is joking. Maybe it’s just a way to scare me off. Yes, that’s

right. He is just trying to see if I would

freak out.’

Jessica tried to convince herself.

However, the video began to play,

showing the events leading to her stabbing. She stilled, her eyes roaming the crowd, trying to find an exit, but there

was none.

The people began to call her names, and it did not miss Jessica’s ears.

“She is crazy.”

“Jessica should be put to jail.”

“A mental institution is more like it.”

Jason was the same, trying to figure out how to flee, but as the second went by, the closer the security team circled them, the eyes of the policemen throwing daggers their way.

The video did not stop there. It also played Shantelle’s and Jessica’s conversation back in the hospital – how she claimed to be Evan’s girlfriend.

At the end of the audio presentation, a picture of an email flashed on the screen. It showed Jessica sending an email to the local magazine requesting a feature of her and Evan.

One lady said, “Oh, my god. It was her all along. How delusional!”

“So she featured herself and Mister Thompson? Haha!” The nurse from earlier remarked. “How desperate!”

Jessica realized how people were recording everything. She stood up and tried to get their mobiles. “Stop recording! Stop! Stop everything that you are doing!”

“Wasn’t it you who wanted to record your schemes?” Evan shot back. “Well, you got your wish! You wanted to be famous. Tomorrow, you will be more than a celebrity!”

“Anyway,” Evan’s lawyer, Scarlett, stood up. James handed her the documents and said, “The reason for my presence today is to present you with this lawsuit, Miss Turner. We will be filing a legal case against you for stalking my client, Doctor

Shant, and falsely claiming a relationship

with Mister Thompson – a defamation

case.”

“Defamation! His reputation was not ruined by what I said!” Jessica rebutted.

“By claiming Mister Thompson is having a relationship with you when he already has a family will undoubtedly make people think less of him, thus, ruining his reputation,” The lawyer, Scarlett, reasoned. “Now we are done with this

show. Are you ready to stop this nonsense and make negotiations? Prepare your

lawyers because you are going to need them badly.”

She turned to Jason Turner and added, “I will also prepare another lawsuit for your involvement in all this, Mister Turner. We will see you again tomorrow.”

“In the meantime,” Evan said in an angry tone. “Police officers, arrest Miss Turner

for false accusations against my wife and for wasting police hours!”

“No! Don’t!” Jessica screamed. “Mister

Thompson, don’t. Please, forgive me. I won’t do it again! Please have mercy on me.”

Jessica kneeled in front of Evan and

pleaded. Tears rolled down her face as she said, “I’ve learned my lesson. Please. I won’t do it again.” a

“You certainly won’t because you will rot in jail for the rest of your life!” Evan claimed. “You think I don’t know the kind of woman you are? Trust me when I say one kind of crazy woman was more than to teach me a lesson. You will never stop, and I know it, so let me do the community a favor and protect others from the likes of you!” (1

Turning to the police, he called again,

Officers! Bring her to the police station

now!”
