NovelStartRalph leaned against the edge of his desk with arms crossed, his expression solemn as he looked at Bella and Justin. "First of all, drugs were found on lan. The guy who sold lan the drugs is a member of the Southern Star Syndicate called Horace. He's adamantly accusing lan, so the evidence is solid.
"Secondly, there's been a crackdown on drugs, gambling, and prostitution lately, and lan happened to get caught in the crossfire. Chief Hopkins has made it clear that no one involved in such activities, regardless of their background or identity, will be spared." "News about lan must bepletely sealed off." Bella's eyes were sharp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRalph shook his head in frustration. "Before you arrived, several reporters had alreadye to inquire about the case. I chased away, but I suspect the news has already leaked. How else would they have known toe? What's more problematic is that the higher-ups know lan is associated with Justin. Considering my relationship with Justin, I'm not allowed to intervene in this case. The ones questioning him now aren't my people. Even if I wanted to interfere, I couldn't." Both Justin and Bella exchanged a worried glance, both sensing a deeper conspiracy at play.
"We must find a way to clear lan's nimmediately, or at least get him out on bail. Otherwise, this fire will soon burn Justin." Ralph truly regarded Justin as family and was deeply worried.
"Having Steven act as his attorney can only buy us time, but it won't solve the fundamental problem." Bella, the most capable heiress of the Thompson family, was now deeply furrowing her brow as she racked her brain for a solution.
The situation was simple. If lan confessed and denied any involvement with Justin, this whole mess would be resolved.
But lan was not just srandom secretary. He was someone incredibly important to Justin, a closerade who had been through thick and thin with him.
Justin would rather take all the blhimself and give up being the president of Salvador Corporation than sacrifice lan and let him go to prison.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJustin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke in a cold voice. "If someone gives false testimony or if the evidence is iplete, then lan can be bailed out, right?" Ralph nodded. "Theoretically, yes." "Then we need to start with that Southern Star Syndicate member." Justin's handsface was frighteningly grim. "I'll have someone intercept his lawyer and find a way to get a message to him." Bella looked at Justin, who was next to her. Her lips parted in stunned silence, unsure of what to say.
Chapter 1991 1 At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ralph quicklyposed himself and responded, allowing an officer to enter.
"Captain Thompson, Horace's attorney has arrived." Simultaneously, Bella's phone rang. It was Sasha calling.
She quickly answered in a low voice, "Aunt Sasha." "Bella, are you with Justin?" Sasha asked seriously.
Bella glanced at Justin, who was beside her. "Yes, I am." "Letspeak to him. I have something to tell him." Bella pursed her lips, handed the phone to Justin, and whispered in Ket his ear, "Justin, Aunt Sasha wants to esvels to you." SW Justin's eyes widened slightly as he took the phone and sat up straight. “Hello, Aunt Sasha, how are you?" "I'm fine, but it seems you're not doing too well." Sasha's tone was intriguing.
Justin's throat tightened. “You already know?" "I reckon the news has spread throughout Savrow by now." Sasha let out a cold laugh that sounded like ice cracking, but her tone was full of reassurance. "That punk from the Southern Star Syndicate dared to mess with you. I definitely won't sit idly by. I've already had Elias handle this matter for you. From now on, you don't need to do anything. Just be patient." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
