Chapter 1148 Work With Each Other
Bad news travels fast. News spread like wildfire in Yaleview when the cops arrested Natalie for drug dealing. There was a point in history when drugs had nearly destroyed Loang. That was why the royal family and citizens hated drug traffickers to the bone.
No matter how prestigious a person was, he or she would be sentenced to death if they were found to be associated with drugs. After handcuffing Natalie, the cops led her into the patrol car and sat beside her.
“You’re young, gorgeous, and the chairwoman of a company. Yet, you chose to be a drug dealer. You must be out of your mind, huh?” One of the female cops tilted her head, studied Natalie from head to toe, and made a sarcastic remark.
“No one is above the law. Anyone who gets involved in drugs is just courting death. Be prepared to face capital punishment once you’re convicted!” another cop said. Natalie glared at them before giving them a calm response. “I didn’t do it.”
“Still feigning ignorance when all the evidence and witnesses are against you?” One of them snorted. “You think you can get away with it just because you’re rich? Listen carefully, missy. Deny all you want, but trust me, we have ways to get you to confess your crime.”
Natalie had thought she would go through a proper trial, but upon hearing that, she began to feel that something was amiss. Her eyes darkened. The witnesses, evidence, and the trial… It looks like the person had everything planned out.
It was clear that the mastermind wanted to pin the crime on her. Natalie felt a surge of emotions in her heart, as she knew justice would not be on her side once she was taken to the police station.
Instead of paying attention to the female cops’ sarcasm, she shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep. We can only see through a person when we’re in dire straits. The fact that the Leitz family could sneak suspicious items into the stockpile meant that there was a traitor in Dream. Perhaps it’s the right time now to weed the rat out.
Soon, Samuel learned that Natalie had been detained at the police station.
The expression on Emma’s and the five children’s faces stiffened when they heard about the news. They were mad that she had been made a scapegoat, but at the same time, they were also worried she would be gone for good.
