This situation had spiraled far beyond Jack’s expectations, layered with complexities and hidden agendas.
Justin sat tall, his posture straight and demeanor upright, exuding an air of righteous confidence.
His military background shone through, his presence steady and commanding—completely at odds with someone allegedly controlled by drug addiction.
“I didn’t know it was a drug,” Justin added, his tone calm yet resolute. “As you mentioned, this is a new designer drug that only emerged in Savrow two months ago. Even those as experienced as you have just recently encountered it. How could someone like me, with no prior exposure, recognize it?”
Justin’s piercing gaze met Jack’s.
“Secondly, if I had known, I would never have taken it. My body is already facing health challenges. Adding drug use would be suicidal. Do you think I value my life so little?”
He paused, his words sharp and unwavering. “Am I so tired of living that I’d dig my own grave?”
Jack hesitated, grappling with the sheer conviction emanating from Justin. His argument was logical, his presence commanding. It was difficult to reconcile this man with the image of a drug addict.
Clarence broke the silence, his tone measured but firm. “Captain Lowe, I suggest you summon Dr. Amaryllis for questioning immediately. If she was the one providing the medication, she must know its origin. Furthermore, if the pills found in Mr. Salvador’s office are indeed Crystal Ice, then Dr. Amaryllis is a prime suspect.”
He leaned forward, his voice unyielding. “She has unrestricted access to the Salvador family and is close to Mr. Salvador as his personal physician. You have to consider the likelihood that she planted the drugs in his office.”
Jack froze. Clarence’s reasoning struck a chord, raising questions he had not yet considered.
…
Late into the night. Gregory sat in his armchair in his study at Tideview Manor, his chest heavy with frustration. His expression was clouded with worry as Paul massaged his shoulders.
“How could Justin be involved with drugs? That’s not the son I know,” Gregory muttered, his voice laced with disbelief.
“Dad, please take care of your health,” Grant said, stepping forward. He poured a cup of tea and placed it before his father. “I’ll handle Justin’s situation. I’ll get him out as soon as possible and minimize the damage to the Salvador Corporation.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson)
I am reading this book from last year. Its very long story but at start i find enjoyable.Still there is no closure , dragging the story and the writer is running out of ideas. Its frustrating that they don't upload chapters regularly....
If you are about to start reading this “ongoing” book….don’t. It’s a great read but mo regular updates and leaves you hanging. Took me months to get to chapter 2370 (this app only has it to chapter 2368….learned to search different links to read ahead a bit). These ongoing books are just not worth the time since their author (s) take days/weeks to upload new chapters. Again great sultry, long drawn out at times, but not worth the frustration of no new updates....
No update in 6 days!!! Really??? I’m about over this story and ready to move on, the wait is to long....
Pls update regularly or least let us know why it's taking so long...
Ok I was thinking last night. I really hope the author hasn’t been affected by hurricane Helene. Not sure where they are located but I hope everyone is safe...
It’s been 87 years since the update with only 2 chapters. 🙄...
