"That's impossible! I'm not a user." Christopher shouted.
Ralph took the medical report from his colleague and opened it up to verify the result. His lips quivered with thrill. He approached and hurled the document in Christopher's face, his eyes sparkling.
"The law is just. It will never punish an innocent person, nor will it let a guilty one go free. The evidence is stacked up against you. Even if you deny it, the evidence speaks for itself!"
Christopher stared at the result in black and white, his ears buzzing. He had a drug empire in Sentania because it was the quickest way to get rich.
However, Christopher knew that drug use was a path to no return. Hence, he steered clear of the substance despite his many years in the business.
Yet, his urine sample produced a positive result for illicit substances.
The color drained from his face as he broke out in a cold sweat.
Struck by a thought, Christopher felt a dizzy spell.
It was his medication.
There was a problem with the drug provided by the Boss.
Overcome by emotions, Christopher could not stop his hands from shaking.
"Ha. You can deny it all you want." With his eyes fixated on Christopher, Ralph noticed his behavior. "You must be knee-deep in your addiction, Christopher. I bet you can't kick off the habit. You're already showing signs of withdrawal even though you've only been detained for 24 hours. You're a drug addict. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"You... You don't get it!" Christopher clutched his trembling arm and stared at Ralph menacingly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Iverson. But you're here to stay." Ralph narrowed his eyes and grinned mockingly. "But you're not getting any coffee this time."
Today was Christopher's 28th birthday, yet he had to spend his birthday in lockup.
The press swarmed outside the police station, surrounding Taylor and Attorney Lyles. The pair's explanation fell on deaf ears as they struggled to break free from the crowd.
Across the road, Bella wound down her car window and stared at the bustle. Her expression reflected her confidence and control over the situation.
"Ms. Bella, the Iverson Group's shares dropped drastically today, and the public is on Christopher's ass for his drug use. This is a moment of celebration!" Steven grinned from ear to ear while scrolling through social media.
"It's too early to pop the champagne. The war is far from being over." Bella hid her emotions behind her calm face. "The survival of the Iversons and their business doesn't matter. The family business is just a front for Christopher's dirty dealings. He doesn't care what happens to the family. His ultimate goal is to serve his master and use the new drug to control Savrow."
Steven had a hair-raising moment.
"Since he is now behind bars, we should have enough time to deal with Owen Hopkins. That's the key to breaking Christopher."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
