Nell turned to look at Lucy, who desperately shook her head. Her eyes were filled with panic-stricken tears. “Sister Nell, it’s not mine. Someone is setting me up.”
Nell knew without having her say it.
It was a set-up. She knew Lucy’s personality. Lucy would never ruin her future by touching these things.
Taking into account today’s occasion, only someone with a hole in their brain would bring something like this here.
Nell took a deep breath and said to the officer, “I’m sure there’s something deeper going on here. I don’t believe this belongs to her.”
The officer smiled coldly. “Whether it’s hers or not, we’ll have to go back to the station before finding out. It’s not something you have a say in.”
Then, he ignored Nell and waved his hand. “Take her away!”
“Wait!”
Nell’s expression changed. However, with just Gareth and her, they could not stop the officers.
Seeing them cuffing Lucy and walking out, Nell quickly pulled out her cellphone and called Joel Foster.
Gideon went abroad on a business trip a few days ago so Nell could not go to him, but it was a good thing that Joel was around today.
He was the young master of the Foster family and also had shares in Anning International. After all, Xinghui was attached to Anning International as well, so he would not just leave the case alone.
Sure enough, Joel had been talking with a few seniors in the reception room when he suddenly received this call. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
“What? They found drugs on her? Has she been taken away?”
“Yes! I don’t think the public knows what’s going on now, but I’m preparing for emergency damage control now. Joel, think of a way to get her out first!”
Nell did things simply and decisively. After the call was finished, she hung up without giving him the time to react.
Joel stood there and did not return to his senses for a long time.
A man patted his shoulder from behind.
“Young Master Foster, did something happen?”
Suddenly, Joel was jolted back to reality. His expression shifted as he looked back at the people sitting on the sofa.
“My apologies, but an emergency cropped up, so I have to rush there immediately. I’ll talk with you all in detail next time.”
Then, he rushed out and hurriedly left.
At the police station.
Lucy sat on a metal chair and was waiting for the results of the urine test.
The bag containing the drugs had already been checked and none of her fingerprints had been found on it.
In other words, it was already confirmed that the drugs did not belong to her. However, a urine test was still needed to make sure that she never took drugs.
Lucy was in a very bad mood.
She had never thought that something like this would happen.
Nevermind that she was schemed against by someone, she did not even have the chance to explain herself.
When Joel brought his men and arrived in a hurry, he saw her sitting alone on a chair in the corridor with cuffs on her hands, looking thin and helpless.
His heart clenched and he quickly walked over.
“Lucy, how are you?”
Lucy lifted her head. A glimmer of hope appeared in her dull eyes when she saw him.
“Joel Foster! What are you doing here?”
She stood up.
