Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 578

Indeed, Ron was arrested by the police, but it had nothing to do with the kidnapping.

He had a history of drug abuse for over ten years and was heavily dependent on drugs. When Ian sent him some money, he immediately spent it all on drugs. With the substantial amount of money he received, Ron could afford to get drugs that were of higher quality. Feeling proud, he invited a group of friends to have a party at the karaoke bar.

Jack had been keeping an eye on Ron all along. At first, they didn't even take action when Ron purchased the drugs to avoid blowing their cover. However, thanks to Ron, the police managed to uncover a significant drug smuggling ring by tracking his suppliers.

Now that a group of Ron's friends had gathered together to do drugs, the police couldn't turn a blind eye any longer. Jack decided to inform Kevan beforehand.

Kevan had never paid much attention to Bethany's safety. Whenever Jack called to report the situation, Kevan would only listen passively without inquiring about their progress in saving Bethany.

"You can handle things as you see fit," Kevan replied nonchalantly.

With his approval, Jack had nothing to worry about. He rounded up Ron and his friends, bringing them to the police station, and closed down the karaoke bar all at once.

Since Ron was taken into custody, there was no one to take care of Bethany. The long-term plan they had to capture the true mastermind behind the kidnapping was abandoned. Jack "rescued" Bethany and brought her to Kevan.

Of course, all this was done in secret without alerting anyone, including Kevan's parents.

Bethany had suffered terribly while she was being held captive. Although she had endured years of abuse from Ruby, Ron's blows were much more severe. Once he got high from drugs, he lost all sense of reason and did not hold himself back while beating her up.

Jack cautioned Kevan specifically, "The young girl is in a dreadful state, mentally and physically. I suggest that you find a psychologist to treat her as soon as possible."

Kevan glanced at Bethany, who was standing beside Jack timidly.

She had lost a ton of weight. There were numerous bruises on her exposed limbs and some of the wounds on her body were still bleeding. The sight of her was gut-wrenching.
