Chapter 21
"Let me go. Let me go!" Gina screamed at the officer. The officer didn't even look at her. It was like she wasn't there.
"Why did you detained me to this filthy place? I don't want to stay here. I want to go right now." Gina was enraged and she started screaming louder and louder.
When she saw the four people coming in, she shut up same time but started again when she realized Ariana was amongst the four. "Sister, you vicious woman! This was all your doings. My parents had taken care of you for twenty years and this is how you repay them by having police detaining their favorite daughter."
"Gina have you lost all reasoning?" Ariana thought what Gina said makes no sense.
Michael went to chair on the other side of the table. He pulled Ariana to the chair next to him so he could face Gina. Malcolm was dumbfounded. He is the Detective but he had to stand. Michael saw his astonished but only looked at him coldly, "You said you're a big shot Detective and can't even handle a mere woman?"
"Can you at least show some respect towards me in front of my subordinates?" Malcolm was fuming at this moment. Michael avoid the urge of rolling his eyes at his question.
"Do your job well and I will consider it?" Michael snorted.
"I am a Crime Scene Detective, there are many officers here to handle these type of cases but you insist on having me here." Malcolm felt wronged by Michael. He was sorry he made friends with him. Ariana realized that these two cannot go a second without arguing as if they are a married couple.
Gina was tired of their bickering, she wasn't sure why she is here but she knew it has something to do with her sister. She was out shopping with her friends as she usually does when two officers approached her carry her in. if words gets out, this will ruin her reputation. They haven't even given her a phone call to inform her parents.
"Why am I here? I have done nothing wrong." Gina decided to play dumbed.
Ariana curled her lips into a sneer, "Since you know you have done nothing wrong, why are you behaving so wild?"
Gina thought Ariana got brave because she now has a backer so the best thing to do is to have her backer abandon her then she can take her revenge for the insults Ariana inflected upon her today. She would never let her go.
Gina looked at Ariana with a complacent smile and said, "Sister, are you taking revenge on me because you were dumped by my Fiancée?" Ariana faced changed and her body became stiff. These changes did not go unnoticed by Michael.
Malcolm now understood a little but he did not know what Michael intentions was. He looked over at Michael and saw that he looked terrible as if he would strangle Gina the next second.
Ariana told herself to be sad a long time ago so she responded to Gina with a smug smile, "Sister that was two years ago and I have already given up on that relationship. What Adam and I have was simple infatuation, I was young and knew nothing about love. As for you sister, you will neither have love nor infatuation because a relationship with tricks will never last. Therefore you can keep him.”
Gina got so angry she wanted to jump across the table to slap the smug look off her face.
Michael and Malcolm remain quiet. They wanted to see how the sisters would handle each other.
Gina managed to calm herself, "Don't be complacent. Do you think even if Mr. Matthews marry you, the Matthews' family will acknowledge you?"
Ariana was not sure either, "it is none of your business."
"You don't even have a status in your own family." Gina really hated Ariana and wish she would just die.
Michael noticed that last sentence hit Ariana hard so he decided to stop their bickering, "That is enough!" they both stopped talking.
"So Miss Gina Fearon, what business do you have with me for you to slander my woman's name?" Michael looked at her calmly tapping his fingers on the table.
Gina got nervous but she forced herself to be calm, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Since you don't know, I will show you." Without turning around he said, "Alex." Alex knew what he meant so he brought over the tablet and showed it to Gina. In the video Gina was standing behind a pillar taking the pictures and laughing.
Gina as were wide open when she saw the video. She thought that was a blind spot. It is indeed a blind spot for the public. Michael had placed hidden cameras in the blind spots because he knew people might take advantage of it.
Michael looked at her coldly and said, "You post pictures of us secretly. Had any of us given you permission to so? On top of that was defamation of character. Have you ever seen me playing with anyone?" Michael did not want to waste too much energy on her.
He got up and whispered to Malcolm, "I need you to bring Johnson over." Malcolm nodded and went out.
Michael looked at Ariana and told her to go out with Alex. She did not refused because she was tired of seeing Gina's face.
As soon as she went out she saw her father and stepmother creating a scene, "Where is my daughter?"
"Why would you lock my daughter up like a criminal?"
Angela saw Ariana coming out and rushed over to slap her. Before Ariana know it her face was on fire. "Why did you slap me?" Ariana looked at her with tears but she did not let them fall. "What have you done to my daughter? Why did you frame her?" Angela wanted to slap her again but Alex grabbed her hand in mid-air.
"Ariana is this how I raised you? How can you be so unreasonable?" Ashton was disappointed with Ariana.
