While Fanny was negotiating with Florence, the police officers approached Jonathan.

Since he was contacted through Yarrison, the latter tagged along, essentially guiding the way. “Hey, Jon,” Yarrison greeted casually after he and his men had found Jonathan.

Jonathan acknowledged Yarrison’s presence, noticing the officers by his side.

“Are you here for more questioning?” he inquired, anticipating the routine procedure despite their prior visit to Kaydron’s car and the involvement of the bodyguard and Yarrison.

“Yes, and we require Miss Angela’s cooperation as well,” the officer informed Jonathan.

Jonathan’s brow furrowed upon hearing this. “Angela is currently in the midst of an exam,” he pointed out.

“Very well, Mr. Lawson, let’s commence with your cooperation. We have several questions for you,” the officer reiterated.

Jonathan nodded in agreement, indicating his willingness to assist, and the officer proceeded with the prepared inquiries.

However, Jonathan’s intuition quickly alerted him to something amiss.

Particularly when a question hinted at any association with drugs, Jonathan’s confusion deepened. “Drugs?”

“Yes,” the officer confirmed.

“No,” Jonathan stated firmly. “Neither Angela nor I have ever used drugs, nor do we intend to.”

He cast a suspicious glance at the officers but opted not to pursue the matter further.

Once all the questions were posed, the officers exchanged contact details with Jonathan before departing.

As they were not considered suspects, Jonathan cooperated fully with the investigation, and the police officers were exceedingly courteous. “Mr. Lawson, once Miss Angela completes her exam, she can participate in the investigation and reach out to us,” they assured him.

Jonathan asked Oliver to escort the officers out. As soon as they departed, he wasted no time in contacting Yarrison, eager to untangle the unfolding situation. “What’s happening? Is Kaydron accusing us?” he inquired anxiously as soon as Yarrison entered.

You’ve figured it out already? But I doubt the police are taking him seriously,” Yarrison replied, his voice tinged with a mix of resignation and frustration.

Before opting to involve the authorities, Yarrison had debated whether to inform Jonathan beforehand. However, he ultimately concluded that Kaydron’s attempt to shift blame onto Angela was a desperate ploy. Jonathan’s adeptness at handling such situations reassured Yarrison, quelling the need for immediate panic.

“Is Kaydron singling out Angela?” Jonathan probed, seeking clarity amid the unfolding chaos. He couldn’t comprehend how Angela could be implicated in such a scandalous affair.

Merely from the officers‘ keen interest in questioning Angela, Jonathan surmised that Kaydron was not only making baseless accusations but also actively targeting Angela. The mere thought left him feeling exasperated and bewildered.

“But how could Angela be connected to drugs? She would never partake in such activities,” Jonathan mused aloud, grappling with the implausibility of the situation.

“Kaydron alleged that the drugs found in his car were supplied by Angela. I have no idea where he got that notion. It’s as if he’s lost his mind,” Yarrison remarked, echoing Jonathan’s incredulity.

Yarrison couldn’t help but view Kaydron’s groundless accusations as the desperate rantings of someone who had lost touch with reality. The situation was spiraling into absurdity, and Jonathan’s frustration mirrored his own.

Jonathan couldn’t shake the feeling that Kaydron’s behavior bordered on both madness and pity.

“Who witnessed it?” Jonathan questioned, struggling to comprehend Kaydron’s erratic actions. If Kaydron claimed Angela had supplied the drugs, it would inevitably implicate him as well.

He vividly recalled the morning scene when Yarrison adamantly claimed that Kaydron would never admit to owning the drugs, even if fingerprints were found. It was puzzling how, within just a few hours, he suddenly reversed his stance.

“Well, Fanny saw him, but I’m not sure what she said. And the police station must have footage, considering the surveillance,” Yarrison sighed, indicating the complexity of the situation.

Though he possessed the skills to hack into the police station’s surveillance system, Yarrison opted against it.

There were more skilled individuals than him, and the police station’s system was more complex than a hotel’s system. Erasing all traces would be a challenging task.

Furthermore, this issue concerned Jonathan and Angela, so he really didn’t need to intervene in case he complicated things for them. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Observing his expression, Jonathan understood his thoughts and remarked, “You don’t have to meddle in this matter. I have a good idea of who is behind it.”

“Who?” Yarrison became instantly intrigued.

Before Jonathan could respond, a call came in.

Jonathan took out his cell phone, but before he could answer, Yarrison leaned in to check the caller ID.

“It’s Spencer,” Yarrison remarked upon seeing the caller ID, opting to stick around to hear the conversation.

Jonathan didn’t hesitate to answer the call. “What’s up, Spencer?” he greeted, aware that Spencer was aware of his plans to accompany Angela to the outskirts of Northland.

In a subdued tone, Spencer relayed the news, “Miss Shelton has arrived at the company.”

“Tell her I’m not there,” Jonathan replied calmly, unaffected by Florence’s unexpected visit.

Spencer’s voice conveyed a mix of emotions as he continued, “She claims she didn’t come to see you, but to fill in for someone who missed the appointment.”

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Florence, who sat across from him with an air of ease. He hadn’t chosen to sit opposite Florence for his conversation with Jonathan, but her presence was proving to be quite the obstacle. When he rose from the couch to place his call by the windows, she followed suit.

He contemplated making an excuse to retreat to the inner room for his call, but Florence cut him off with a direct question, her tone laced with sarcasm, “Is there something you can’t say in front of me? Or perhaps you want to relay some inconsequential message?”

Spencer found himself at a loss for words, reluctantly sinking back onto the couch under Florence’s mocking gaze.

Meanwhile, Jonathan pressed for clarification, “Does today’s agreement involve the Shelton Family?” He distinctly remembered that the impending collaboration had no ties to them.

Spencer responded cautiously, mindful of Florence’s presence, “Yes. Miss Shelton requests your presence, Jon. If you could hasten to the company to meet her, she assures that the appointment won’t be disrupted.”

Spencer conveyed this information with a tinge of exasperation. It was Florence’s directive, and she had made it clear that he was to relay it to Jonathan in full detail, without any

omissions.

Having adhered to Florence’s directives, Spencer could discern the satisfaction radiating from her expression.

“Is she right beside you?” Jonathan queried.

From the moment Spencer lowered his voice, Jonathan suspected that Florence might be inhibiting his ability to have a private conversation.

Spencer responded truthfully, “Yes.”

“Put it on speaker,” Jonathan directed.

Spencer anticipated that Jonathan’s ensuing words might not be well–received, but Florence’s interference warranted it, so he confidently activated the speakerphone.

“Go ahead,” he encouraged.

As soon as Spencer concluded his statement, Jonathan’s voice resonated from the cellphone.

“I have no inclination to engage in any collaboration with the Shelton Family, Miss Shelton.”

Jonathan’s tone carried a blend of indifference, detachment, and palpable disdain..

Florence’s eyes widened instantly, and she rose abruptly, her complexion flushing with ange “What do you mean by that?”

“Exactly what I said, Miss Shelton. Kindly take your leave.”
