"Y-you" After hearing Damien's words, Lin Wanruo was naturally shocked at the audacity of this man threatening her in front of everyone. Anger flashed in her eyes, and in a moment of rage, she reached for her handcuffs and firmly locked them around Damien's wrists, boldly staring him down as she declared,"You will see hell for crossing the line, Damien Raphael!"
'Idiot,' Damien's grin spread all the way up to his eyes, revealing a devilish smirk when he saw the woman lose her sense of reasoning and handcuff him in front of many individuals, even with the media present, who were just waiting for this particular breaking news moment to boost their TRP.
Looking at the police woman who acted however she wanted just because her family background was always there to back her up, Damien felt that this whole thing was much easier due to this particular fact.
From the moment he saw Wanruo, treating Damien whom everyone knew too well as if he was just some third-rate guy, it was clear that this woman had never once in her life felt retaliation from criminals or people she offended in her police career.
And, of course, after learning about her name, he had recalled the plot involving this woman and its influence on Damien's life. It made him want to show this woman what it feels like to have the fake castle she built around her being shattered.
Though, of course, he can't just waste this opportunity where he can resolve two scores at once. This prompts him to provoke this woman and let her act on a whim in front of many people.
Simply put, a mere police officer, dared to touch the heir of the Raphael Group (an incompetent heir who lost his status and support from the family) and still handcuffed him in front of everyone. This damaged the reputation of the Raphael Group in the eyes of many high society individuals and even the nation.
As the final outcome, this mere police woman will soon see what it feels like to be at the lowest level of the food chain.
"S-stop it?!" Amelia, who stood beside Damien, instantly noticed the media outlets' camera flashes and realized that this moment would soon be in the headlines. Considering she was standing next to Damien, her image would also be captured, which could potentially impact her newly established business.
Ultimately, Damien's risky behavior and his romantic feelings towards her were widely known, causing worry. It wouldn't be unexpected if media sources spread rumors about Amelia Crimwell being behind it all and tarnsihing her reputiatuion, 'No, I can't involve with this guy now!'
Having witnessed his previous behavior towards her, she had already determined that she would never cross paths with this man again, which is why she was eager to avoid any gossip that could tarnish her reputation.
"No, You should stop Amelia!" Damien's eyes widened and his jaws clenched as he cried out, feigning anger. His voice caused an uproar among the media, who were eagerly taking pictures of his handcuffs. In an instant, their cameras shifted focus to Amelia.
"What?, You all stop this!?", Amelia was caught off guard by Damien's abrupt yelling, but her shock escalated when she noticed all the camera flashes directed at her. Without thinking, she instinctively raised her hand to cover her face in an attempt to shield herself from the intrusive flashes.
"I regret this!" Damien shouted loudly enough for everyone to take notice, particularly since all eyes were already on him. His voice carried throughout the crowd and could be heard in the live news footage captured by the press.
"What are you—" Amelia was once again flinched due to his loud voice prompting her to remove her hands from her face as she looked at Damien with trembling eyes. But before she could complete her words, he once again declared.
"I lost everything because of you Amelia! My self respect, peace and even went far as to harm others! But you!" Damien directed his eyes towards Amelia, who was standing at arm's length from him. She took a step back in fear due to his enraged gaze, as he cried out with visible green veins appearing on his neck.
After hearing a death threat from Damien, not even Lin Wanruo, who was the most enraged person present, could comprehend why he suddenly started accusing Amelia Crimwell. This caused her to tug on the handcuffs, but they wouldn't move an inch. 'Where did this strength come from?'
Although Lin Wanruo was in the Middle stage of the Body Refinement Realm, giving her the strength of a healthy adult, she couldn't even budge the single-handed grip on Damien's wrist with her two hands.
It may have been possible that he was strong, but just a few moments ago she was able to do it. However, now, with his hand noticeably weaker, she still found herself unable to make a move.
'?!'
Lin Wanruo was startled when Damien abruptly tugged on his handcuffs, causing her hand to be yanked towards him. In an instant, the gap between them closed as a result of his height, leading to her body crashing into his chest.
In the heat of the moment, she hardly understood what happened but before she could voice out her words, Damien continued with a loud tone," And You Amelia! You blamed everything on me?!"
"What? Is Amelia Crimwell the reason why Damien Rachel is in handcuffs?" A series of murmurs instantly erupted throughout the place, causing everyone to fill the whole place with their words in an instant.
"Mr. Damien, can you elaborate?"
"Especially on the part where you mentioned harming others. Was it to get Miss Amelia's favor?"
The press members fired off one question after the other, focusing their inquiries on Amelia, especially after Damien's controversial comments about feeling used by her.
"Miss Amelia, Is the rumours circulating true?" A female reporter attempted to approach but was stopped by a police officer. After a quick glance at Damien, who gave a subtle nod, the officer signaled for the reporter to pass through.
"What?", Amelia already felt overwhelmed being the center of attention, things were starting to become too unbearable for her. Her feet instinctively began to retreat as the female reporter approached her.
"Miss Amelia..." The female reporter extended her microphone towards Amelia while subtly glancing in Damien's direction. She fixed her eyes on Amelia and continued with a clear voice, "Is it true that out of jealousy, you attempted to suppress Emilia Blake's businesses?
"What!?"
