Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 157

Lucy let out a soft breath, rubbed her red wrist, and checked her dress again.

The dress was borrowed from a sponsor in the company, so she could not get it dirty.

Fortunately, the waiter earlier reacted quickly and immediately turned the tray in her hands away after bumping into her.

Therefore, even though Lucy fell to the ground, her dress did not get dirty.

Thank god, thank god.

Lucy sighed in relief. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she turned to leave.

Not far away, Joel saw her walking away and rushed to catch up.

However, a few guests from the business circle surrounded him.

“Young Master Foster, it’s been a while. I heard that you were recently promoted to President of Foster Corporation. Congratulations.”

“Young Master Foster, since we’ve met today, why don’t you have a drink or two with us?”

“Yes, there are some things we want to talk to you about, but we’ve never had the chance. You have to talk with us today.”

Joel was surrounded and could not leave even if he wanted to.

If it were anyone else, he could just push them away and ignore them, but these people were all big names in the business world.

Although he was the only son of the Foster family, there were times he had to oblige and humor other’s faces. Furthermore, they were all people from his uncle’s generation and had many business dealings with the Fosters.

Helplessly, Joel could only stay and smile at them. “You all are flattering me. Let’s talk over there.”

He led the few people to the parlor inside.

As for Lucy, she was in a good mood after finally breaking free from Joel.

However, when she walked to the door of the hotel, she was stopped by several officers in plainclothes.

“Miss, we’ve received a report that you’re carrying a large amount of contraband. Please come with us for an inspection.”

...

After Gareth finished bringing Nell around to socialize, she returned to the hall but could not find Lucy after looking around.

She grabbed a waitress at random to ask only to find out that Lucy had already left.

Thus, she did not think much about it. It was already getting late anyway and Lucy still had to film tomorrow, so it was normal to leave early.

At the same time, in a room next to the hotel.

Lucy looked at the large bag of Ice that was revealed and stared in astonishment.

The white glare of the lights turned on overhead, stinging her eyes with pain.

Lucy subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes. When she lowered it, she saw a serious-faced police officer sitting across her.

Her face was a little pale.

Although she was not sure what was going on, one thing was certain.

She had been set up!

Who was it? Who would use such a dirty method to frame her?

The item was found in her bag and her attire and accessories today had all been provided by the company.

The company would not harm her, so who was it?

She suddenly thought of the waitress who had bumped into her earlier.

She was knocked to the ground and the waitress had picked up her handbag for her. In other words, the waitress was the only other person who had touched her bag besides the people in the company and herself.

“Spill it! Where did this come from?!”

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard the serious voice of the police officer.

Lucy came back to her senses and looked at him with a pale face.

“I-I don’t know. This isn’t mine.”
