Chapter 140
“We got it,” Gene and Louie said, moving out of the way, albeit hesitantly.
“Hmph! That’s more like it!”
Conrad and Calvin secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They just wanted to bring Ashton back to the station as quickly as possible and then use “special” methods to make him sign the confession.
As long as Ashton signed the confession, that would be the final nail in the coffin for him!
“Calvin? What’s happening here?”
Roxy heard the commotion and came over, looking shocked when she saw Ashton being led away by police officers.
Calvin smiled and said, “Look at this, Roxy! I’ve finally caught Ashton, the troublemaker! Remember my promise to you? I said I would definitely make him pay and shut down Evermore Club!
“This is my first proposal gift to you. Aren’t you happy?”
Calvin spoke smugly and haughtily because he could finally show off to Roxy now.
Roxy frowned and asked, “But what crime did he commit?”
“Oh, his crimes are terrible!” Calvin said with a scoff. “Selling drugs, forced prostitution, obstructing the law… Once he’s proven guilty of all these crimes and sentenced for them, he would no doubt spend the rest of his life in jail!
“Roxy, we finally no longer have to look at his revolting face ever again!”
Roxy was suspicious and didn’t quite believe him. “Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure! All the evidence against him is irrefutable! He won’t be able to get away with it. And nobody will stop us from getting together anymore after this!”
Calvin was simply delighted.
“You liar!”
Sylvia rushed over and glared at Roxy. “Roxy! You told Calvin to do this, didn’t you? You’re despicable! Ashton used to be your husband! And you’re only where you are today because of him! How could you be such an ingrate?

Roxy frowned even harder. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! You’re saying that he’s being framed?”
“Of course! Do you not have a single brain cell in your head? How could Ashton ever do something like that?” Sylvia huffed angrily.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, Roxy. Ashton committed every single crime I mentioned just now, and it’s all proven. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been arrested!
“Go back and rest for now. Everything will finally be over once the night passes. We will finally be able to enjoy our life together after that!” Calvin rejoiced.

Roxy didn’t know who to believe at this point.
“Roxy, can’t you please ask Calvin to release Ashton?” Sylvia asked, softening her tone.
The most important thing now was to ensure Ashton’s safety. If he was really brought into the police station, then Conrad would indubitably have their way with him! And if that happened, she knew that they would use various underhanded ways to force a confession out of Ashton.
“If he really committed those crimes, then he would have been caught sooner or later anyway,” Roxy said, shaking her head. “But if he never did those things, then they would naturally release him once the investigations are over.”
“There’s no need to keep talking to them, Sylvia. Trust me. I’ll be fine,” Ashton said, addressing Sylvia.
Sylvia glanced at Roxy before nodding at him.
“Ashton, I never thought that you would still end up like this. I’ve already warned you not to get too close to the people from the dark side, and also warned you against taking over Evermore Club. But you never listened to me!
Roxy said, looking at Ashton with disappointment in her eyes.
“I see that you believe that I did all those things too,” Ashton said. “You’d rather believe Calvin than believe in my innocence.”
Suddenly, Ashton found the situation a little too hilarious. How could he have been married to a woman like this for ten years? And to think that he’d actually loved her with all of his heart back then, too.
