Hearing that, Eden was slightly stunned. Did something happen to Delmont?
"Mom, say it slowly. What happened to Delmont?" Eden grabbed the phone more tightly.
Victor suddenly stopped and did not push her forward.
"Eden, Delmont went to the nightclub last night and played with his fair-weather friends. As a result, someone said that he took drugs. Moreover, the police found evidence in his car and he has been sent to jail. But he said that he was wronged and he had never taken drugs."
Eden knew what Aisling meant when she heard that.
The police found evidence in Delmont's car, but he insisted on saying that he had not taken drugs. What was going on?
"Mom, we'll be back soon."
After Eden hung up the phone, she looked at Victor, "We have to go back first. Something had happened to Delmont. He has been sent to jail because of taking drugs."
"Okay!" Victor nodded and said in a deep voice.
He took out his phone and called Lucian.
"Hello?" Lucian's tone sounded unhappy. On weekends, what he feared the most was to answer Victor's phone call. After Anson worked in Aurora Entertainment, Victor always ordered him to do some extra work, which made him so annoyed.
Victor said, "Contact our lawyer and ask him to go somewhere. I'll send you the address later."
Lucian asked, "What happened this weekend?"
Victor replied, "Delmont has got into trouble because of drugs."
Lucian instantly understood what he meant.
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Victor looked at Eden, "Don't worry. Lucian and our lawyer will go there."
Eden nodded with a solemn face, "Mother said that the police found evidence in his car, but he said that he didn't take drugs."
Victor pondered for a moment and said, "I'll call Kenny and let him investigate it."
"Alright!" Eden nodded.
After Victor called Kenny, he and Eden went back to River City on his own plane. In the evening, they arrived and went straight to see Delmont.
Delmont's face was haggard, and he looked very dejected. He sat on the chair heavily. The chair couldn't bear his weight and creaked.
Seeing Eden and Victor, he said with a wronged face, "Eden, you have to believe me. I will never take drugs. I was really framed by someone."
Victor and Eden looked at each other, and then Victor asked, "Delmont, are you sure you really didn't take drugs?"
Delmont looked at him helplessly. His lips were dry, and it could be seen that he was very anxious. He was at a loss, because no one was willing to believe him though he had said it many times.
"Victor, no matter how I self-indulgent am, I won't take drugs. Besides, I have said this many times, and I have told your lawyer about it, but no one believes me."
After that, he looked at Eden, "I'm no longer young, and I know what I should do and what I shouldn't. You know that I am straightforward and I have always been trying my best to live. I want to live up to my ideal of myself. Dad let me be in charge of the supermarkets, and I've been working hard. I would never do such a thing to ruin my future. You must find out who has framed me."
Eden nodded, "Delmont, I believe in you. But think about it. Have you ever offended anyone?"
Delmont shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I thought about it when I was caught. I haven't offended anyone. I've always been very generous to others. Furthermore, I haven't offended or abandoned any woman."
