Carl almost let slip. He broke out in a cold sweat. “Those were medications for his treatment. How did they become drugs? Something is off! Someone is joining forces with the police to frame Mr. Schmidt!”
“There’s no use talking about this now! He was arrested on the spot with evidence right before everyone’s eyes. The cops are going to take a urine sample from Mr. Schmidt in a bit. If the results turn out to be positive, there’s no way that he’ll be able to clear his name!”
“It would be best if they could run a test because Mr. Schmidt has never touched that thing at all!” Carl exclaimed confidently.
He was Jameson’s most trusted assistant. No one else might dare to guarantee that, but he dared to.
After that, doubt filled his heart again.
How did Jameson’s medication get replaced with a drug out of nowhere?
He checked on his medications personally every day. Today was the only day when…
In an instant, Carl’s face went pale. He took out his phone with trembling hands and immediately called one of his subordinates.
Through gritted teeth, he ordered, “Bring that nurse, Ms. Thompson, who has been attending to Mr. Schmidt these past few days, to see me… right now!”
“I was just about to update you about this, Carl!”
The subordinate was shaking in his boots. “Ms. Thompson has left the hospital after Mr. Schmidt got arrested. She has vanished!”
Upon hearing that, the look in Carl’s eyes darkened.
At this moment, he realized that they had fallen into a trap.
After Jameson’s arrest, Briar was personally escorted by Jeremy and Xavier away from the hospital as soon as possible.
Jameson might be a vicious man who deserved to die. However, switching medications in secret would be considered a crime of falsifying evidence if they were found out. Moreover, people from the Schmidt Group would be able to make the connection with her soon enough.
Alyssa wasn’t going to allow the same tragedy that had befallen Nina to repeat itself. Hence, she hid Briar at her own home-Heightsnew Villa. It didn’t matter if a ruler or the devil himself came. No one would be able to hurt Briar.
“Has Ms. Thompson arrived safely?” Alyssa asked Jeremy over the phone. She had stayed back at Solana City with Sean to keep watch.
“Don’t worry. She’s doing well. She’s been chattering away excitedly the entire way after she found out that Jameson was arrested,” Jeremy chuckled helplessly.
“Keep her safe. Don’t let anyone hurt her!”
“You can rest assured with me around.”
Jeremy’s voice was deep and soothing. “I’m really worried about you being at Solana City on your own, Lyse.”
Alyssa laughed, “I should be the least of your worries right now.”
She crossed her legs in the car. She
She sweetly and continued, smiled l.ne
“Jameson will never do anything to me. Have you forgotten that bam the woman of his dreams?”
“Don’t provoke me, Lyse.”
Jeremy’s breathing became labored. There was a hint of jealousy in his voice. “You know that I can’t stand hearing this.”
Alyssa’s cheeks flushed red. At the same time, her gaze was dark and cold. “Well, he can dream on. Anything is possible only when it’s a dream.” Right at this moment, Cyrus called.
“Jeremy, Cyrus is calling. Talk to you later!”
After ending her call with Jeremy, she promptly answered Cyrus’ phone call. “How is it going, Cyrus?”
“Lyse, did Jameson really take drugs? This time, I’ve really put my future in the police force on the line to go out on a limb for you!” Alyssa bit her lip.
“If the urinalysis results show that he didn’t take any drugs, we can only lock him up for 24 hours at most. After that, we’ll have to let him go Not only that, but I will also be questioned and put under lots of pressure!”
“I don’t know if he took drugs or not. I’m also taking a gamble.”
Cyrus’ heart dropped. He lamented, “Lyse… You’re setting me up!”
“Don’t say that Even though it’s a gamble, I feel like the odds of winning are really high.” Alyssa’s gaze was fiery. “There’s no way that someone who sells that thing will not touch it at all. Since he chose to waste himself away, I’m betting that he will end up completely wasted!”
It had been almost 24 hours since Jameson was detained in the police station’s interrogation room.
When he was at Kontina, countless people curried favor with him, sang praises about him, and sought favors from him. The amount of people who kissed up to him was outrageous. When he returned to his country, he ruled The Millennium at night. Currently, he was in complete control of Schmidt Group. He was an unparalleled leader whom many looked up to. He was surrounded by endless power, money, and pride. These placed him high up on a pedestal. It had been a long time since he was last put in captivity and treated disrespectfully like this. Every passing second and minute felt like ages. It was excruciating.
More than that, it was humiliating.
“We’re almost at the 24-hour mark. When will I be able to leave?” Jameson sat on the cold and uncomfortable chair in the interrogation room with his legs crossed. There was a chilling harshness behind his gold-framed glasses.
“What’s with the rush, Mr. Schmidt? We have lots of time.”
Cyrus sat across from him casually. His upright bearing was not intimidated by the person opposite him at all. This was perhaps an example of the saying that evil was powerless if the good was unafraid. “Plus, there are 15 more minutes before the 24 hours is up.
“How could I let the distinguished Mr. Schmidt walk out from here before the final second? I put in so much effort to get you to come in here.”
Heaven knew how panicked Cyrus felt at this moment. His heart was pounding.
The results of Jameson’s urinalysis would only be ready in ten minutes. If the final results showed that he wasn’t taking drugs, he would have to release him and shoulder massive responsibility for this. Not only that but capturing him next time might also become a long shot!
“I get it now, Cyrus. You’re just wanting to spend more time chatting with me. Am I right?”
Jameson leaned back relaxedly. A look of frigidity came across his pale face. He glanced at his watch with a piercingly cold gaze. “Let’s have a chat, then. Let’s talk about how you and Lyse worked together to set me up.”
Cyrus’ chest tightened. Word by word, he uttered, “Jameson, don’t hurl accusations without any proof.”
“Didn’t you also capture me here for a visit without any evidence?”
Any look of glee disappeared from Jameson’s face. A deep rage burned within his eyes. He crushed the paper cup on the table. “I’ve got to say, though, the coffee at your station tastes fucking terrible. If you’re tight on budget, Schmidt Group can fund the coffee beans for you people here.”
“Jameson Schmidt!” Cyrus’ eyes turned red as he shot to his feet.
“Why are you so anxious? I’m not even anxious. Unless… Are you trying to beat me up to force me to confess?”
Jameson crushed the paper cup into a ball. The veins on the back of his hand popped. “Listen. I’ve never done drugs. Never.
“You should take these 15 minutes to have a think about how you’re going to explain this to your captain, Cyrus.”
Upon saying that, he closed his eyes leisurely to rest.
Cyrus hit the roof. If he wasn’t in his police uniform, he would have pounced on him and ripped him to pieces!
Time continued ticking away.
There were five minutes left.
Jameson watched the second hand move on the clock and lifted the corners of his lips into a scornful smile.
Right at this moment, the door to the interrogation room opened. An officer hurried into the room with an analysis report in his hand.
“Chief Taylor, the urine test results are out!”
Cyrus’ heart raced while the smile on Jameson’s face widened.
“It’s positive!”
The smile froze on Jameson’s face. This time, he was the one who became perturbed. He slammed the table and stood up. His eyes reddened.
“That’s impossible! I didn’t take drugs!” Jameson yelled.
Cyrus took over the analysis report from his colleague. He flipped through it and reconfirmed the presented results. He got so excited that the corners of his lips started twitching.
He walked over and slammed the document down before Jameson. There was a glimmer in his eyes.
“The law will not accuse any innocent person falsely. In the same way, it will not spare any evil-doers.
“These days, handling cases is more about the evidence than verbal statements. Although you insist that you’ve never taken drugs, there is hard evidence showing otherwise. You cannot deny this!” Jameson looked at the results written in black and white. His ears started ringing.
When he was in Kontina, it was true that his business involved drugs. After all, it was a field that could reap the most fortune in the shortest time.
