The banquet hall was filled with flowers, and everyone laughed and laughed.
"Miss Preston, I wish you a happy birthday! And I wish you and Mr. Moore a hundred years of happiness and early birth of noble children!"
"Thank you."
Victoria held Jack's arm and was entertaining other guests when the security guard outside suddenly ran over in a panic and hurriedly reported, "Miss, Mr. Moore, the police are here! Several of them! They are outside the manor now!"
Because the security guard was too flustered, his voice was a bit loud, and the guests around also heard his words, their faces changing color one after another.
"What? The police?"
"The police are here? What's going on?"
"Why did the police come here? Did something happen?"
Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise and confusion. In the end, everyone's eyes unanimously landed on Victoria and Jack, who were in the center of the crowd.
Victoria remained calm, with no trace of emotion on her beautiful face. She glanced imperceptibly at Liam in the corner, then calmly looked at the security guard and said politely, "Please let the police in."
The security guard was stunned for a moment, infected by Victoria's demeanor. He regained some composure and nodded quickly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand, "Yes!"
As expected of their eldest lady, she had courage!
They could handle the situation!
The security guard quickly walked to the side, took out the walkie-talkie, and said to the other security guards at the door, "I have already reported to the eldest lady, let the police gentlemen come in!"
Carl, Elizabeth, and the others also walked towards Victoria, their eyes filled with worry, and they asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Victoria shook her head slightly and gave them a reassuring look.
Soon, several police officers, led by security guards, entered the banquet hall.
And behind several police officers, followed a middle-aged woman with a mature and shrewd expression.
The guests in the banquet hall turned around and recognized who it was at a glance.
"Oh my, isn't that Emily Argent! Why is she here too?"
"She came in with the police? What's going on?"
"I don't know! But I guess if the police suddenly came to the Preston family, it's probably related to Emily! Otherwise, why would she come along?"
Seeing Emily's figure, Victoria's eyes slightly raised, a hint of mockery in the depths of her eyes. It seems she couldn't wait.
Since she took the initiative to come, don't cry later!
At this moment, Alicia and Mason also quickly arrived at Victoria's side.
Alicia didn't know why the police suddenly arrived, but she worriedly held her daughter's hand.
Michael and Ralph lined up in front of Victoria.
Michael spoke first, looking at the police officers in front of him with a calm expression, "Today is my sister's birthday. I don't know why you suddenly came to visit. What's the matter?"
The leading police officer naturally knew the reputation of the Preston family and spoke politely, "Mr. Preston, we received a report that Miss Preston is privately storing prohibited drugs, Blue Salt Toxin, so we must come and search."
As soon as the words fell, there was a gasp in the surroundings.
What?!
Blue salt toxin!
Who didn't know that the blue salt toxin was a light blue powdery substance, and also an illegal substance?
According to the laws of Newtopia, no one may smuggle, sell, or illegally possess. Otherwise, it would be a major crime!
Because of this blue salt toxin, even if it was only a tiny dosage, once it was dissolved in water, it could cause severe poisoning! It could easily take someone's life!
