With that, the cops moved forward to arrest the three of them across the hall.
Esme was unrepentant and she raised her head in defiance. “What is the reason? Why are you arresting me?”
“What is the reason?” Mason squinted. “The reason is that you’ve drugged the future Lady of the Lowry Family—that alone is enough to sentence you to death a few times over.” Earlier, I was to use my own methods to kill the three of them, but Babe is kind. In the end, she chose to report them to the police so that the latter would handle the case.
“What drug are you referring to? Young Master Mason, we do not understand!” Rebecca was stubborn and she insisted that she would deny her wrongdoings. If we were to admit it now, there’s no doubt that we will be dead.
“You don’t understand?” The cops played the video on a phone. “Look—did you do this?”
The three of them watched the video on the phone and they stumbled backward before falling onto the floor with a thud.
Magnus was in despair. This is the end of us—all thanks to the crap idea that they came up with.
Esme was rendered motionless on the floor while her gaze was filled with fear and unwillingness.
The person in the video was Rebecca. In that instance, she realized that denying it would be useless. Hence, she ran to Mason and grabbed his custom made suit to beg for mercy. “Young Master Mason, I have learned my lesson. Seeing that you have collaborated with my father in the past, please forgive us. We will never repeat the same mistake again in the future.”
Nevertheless, she was greeted with a deafening silence.
He cocked a brow without replying to her for the longest time.
As Rebecca thought that her sincerity had moved Mason, she happily stood up to leave.
Just when she did so, his icy voice unexpectedly sliced through the silence with an intimidating tone. “You drugged someone and encouraged others to attempt a crime. I suppose you’ll be sentenced to prison for a few years, am I right?” He squinted menacingly. “Besides, you have purchased contraband through illegal means. If my guess is correct, you will also have to serve time for that too, right?”
Upon hearing that, she slumped onto the floor. His voice had sent chills down her spine to the point where she felt it in her bones.
It was at that moment when she realized that Mason was not joking or being rash. In fact, he never planned to let them off the hook.
Rebecca looked up with a murderous intent and glared at the woman standing behind him. From the beginning until now, it is entirely the b*tch’s fault! If she hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have needed the drug! J’Adore has destroyed the Davis Family.
“Arrest them.” The man broke the silence in an icy tone with a voice that was void of emotions.
Magnus and Esme exchanged a look of despair. This is truly the end of us.
A mysterious force had flushed the negative news about J’Adore that day. Instead, the trending topics were filled with the news of Rebecca drugging somebody and the fact that she went out for wool and came home shorn.
In the end, the trending news on Twitter was all about the grandiose celebration last night.
“Oh, damn! J’Adore is a force to be reckoned with! I can’t believe that she is acquainted with the President of Markovia!”
“F*ck! Young Master Sanders is her subordinate! This is definitely unheard of!”
“Isn’t this amazing? No wonder it’s impossible to dig any information on J’Adore in the past. She has such a low profile!”
“Oh, my! In addition to that, I can’t believe that Young Master Mason wore Bossaro’s necklace.”
“Well, like I said—Young Master Mason would never cheat. Have you seen Rebecca? He couldn’t possibly fall for her.”
“Hmph! Rebecca is really shameless. She tried to spike J’Adore’s drink since she could not get her hands on Young Master Mason. She must have lost her marbles.”
“That’s right! I heard that she hired a few hooligans to target J’Adore. Well, she never expected to have a taste of her own medicine.”
