Inside the interrogation room, Xavier sat silently beside Sean. He watched as Sean transformed into a


    cold and resolute fortress, shielding him from the officers'' attack.


    His eyes shone brightly. He was almost shedding tears.


    If it weren''t for his crush, he would fall for Sean. 1


    While Sean appeared calm on the surface, he felt uneasy inside.


    He felt that something about the whole situation was fishy. The attitude of the police seemed as if they


    were eager to pin the me on Xavier immediately, fearing that he might turn the tables. 2


    Involvement in drug transactions as a buyer, even for small quantities, could result in a minimum six-


    month sentence.


    Once convicted, even if the sentence weren''t severe, it would still be a huge blow to Xavier as the head


    secretary of Beckett Group''s president. His future would be ruined.


    In another room, Harvey Palmer, the member of the Ivory Gang who sold drugs to Xavier, was having a


    private conversation with his attorney, Jabari Chapman.


    "The Ivory Gang strictly prohibits its members from dealing drugs. You know that very well. Your actions


    have made Mr. Nathan extremely angry." Jabari stared at him with a dark expression.


    Thinking of the ruthless Nathan, Harvey paled, and his chair squeaked as he trembled.


    "Mr. Nathan is giving you two options. One, you take all the me and tell the police that you sold


    drugs to Xavier voluntarily. You got angry when Xavier didn''t ept your offer, so you secretly nted


    the drugs in his suit pocket. Everything was your doing, and Xavier has nothing to do with this."


    Harvey’s eyes reddened with anger. He gritted his teeth but dared not speak out.


    Jabari had already prepared the testimony for him. The Ivory Gang''swyer was really something.


    "If you don''t agree, whether youe out of prison alive is a question. Don''t forget about your 60-year-


    old mother and your younger brother who still hasn''t married in the countryside.


    "If you obey, Mr. Nathan will take care of your family. If you don''t, he''ll make sure your whole family


    joins you in hell.”


    Upon hearing that, Harvey widened his eyes, and he immediately nodded vigorously. "I-I agree! I''ll


    confess! Please ask Mr. Nathan to spare my mother and my brother! I''ll admit to any crime!"


    Satisfied, Jabari nodded and continued coldly, Mr. Nathan also wants me to ask you if you were


    instigated by someone to frame Xavier. Who''s behind this? If you confess, I can try to help you reduce


    your sentence."


    "N-No one instigated me.”


    Harvey confessed, spilling everything. "That Xavier guy showed up at my ce three days straight, but


    he wasn’t interested in partying with girls. I figured he wanted to buy some meds, so I approached him.


    "At first, he was cautious, asking about the meds. I observed him for a while before finally agreeing to


    the deal. No one instigated me. It was just my bad luck that the cops showed up on the day of the


    deal!"


    Jabari frowned. "Meds? Is that the name of the drug?"


    Harvey grabbed Jabari’s hand as if grasping a lifeline. He pleaded, "Please help me exin to Mr.


    Nathan! I-I did use this stuff to make money


    privately. But it''s just medicine! It''s not a drug!" 1


    The police handling the case never expected Harvey topletely overturn all his previous testimony


    in just half an hour. He insisted that the incident had nothing to do with Xavier and that it was all his


    doing.


    Even a fool could guess what his attorney had told him to make him take all the me.


    However, the police couldn''t obtain the surveince footage from the nightclub that night. With issues


    arising with witness testimony, Xavier was eventually sessfully released on bail. However, for the


    next month, he couldn''t leave Sna City and had to be avable for police questioning at anytime.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
