Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 158

Nell turned to look at Lucy, who desperately shook her head. Her eyes were filled with panic-stricken tears. “Sister Nell, it’s not mine. Someone is setting me up.”

Nell knew without having her say it.

It was a set-up. She knew Lucy’s personality. Lucy would never ruin her future by touching these things.

Taking into account today’s occasion, only someone with a hole in their brain would bring something like this here.

Nell took a deep breath and said to the officer, “I’m sure there’s something deeper going on here. I don’t believe this belongs to her.”

The officer smiled coldly. “Whether it’s hers or not, we’ll have to go back to the station before finding out. It’s not something you have a say in.”

Then, he ignored Nell and waved his hand. “Take her away!”

“Wait!”

Nell’s expression changed. However, with just Gareth and her, they could not stop the officers.

Seeing them cuffing Lucy and walking out, Nell quickly pulled out her cellphone and called Joel Foster.

Gideon went abroad on a business trip a few days ago so Nell could not go to him, but it was a good thing that Joel was around today.

He was the young master of the Foster family and also had shares in Anning International. After all, Xinghui was attached to Anning International as well, so he would not just leave the case alone.

Sure enough, Joel had been talking with a few seniors in the reception room when he suddenly received this call. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the sofa.

“What? They found drugs on her? Has she been taken away?”

“Yes! I don’t think the public knows what’s going on now, but I’m preparing for emergency damage control now. Joel, think of a way to get her out first!”

Nell did things simply and decisively. After the call was finished, she hung up without giving him the time to react.

Joel stood there and did not return to his senses for a long time.

A man patted his shoulder from behind.

“Young Master Foster, did something happen?”

Suddenly, Joel was jolted back to reality. His expression shifted as he looked back at the people sitting on the sofa.

“My apologies, but an emergency cropped up, so I have to rush there immediately. I’ll talk with you all in detail next time.”

Then, he rushed out and hurriedly left.

At the police station.

Lucy sat on a metal chair and was waiting for the results of the urine test.

The bag containing the drugs had already been checked and none of her fingerprints had been found on it.

In other words, it was already confirmed that the drugs did not belong to her. However, a urine test was still needed to make sure that she never took drugs.

Lucy was in a very bad mood.

She had never thought that something like this would happen.

Nevermind that she was schemed against by someone, she did not even have the chance to explain herself.

When Joel brought his men and arrived in a hurry, he saw her sitting alone on a chair in the corridor with cuffs on her hands, looking thin and helpless.

His heart clenched and he quickly walked over.

“Lucy, how are you?”

Lucy lifted her head. A glimmer of hope appeared in her dull eyes when she saw him.

“Joel Foster! What are you doing here?”

She stood up.

“Hah! My artiste was falsely accused and taken away from the public before distinguishing right and wrong. What about the damage to her reputation?

“A TV series that Anning International spent hundreds of millions to shoot will be broadcasted soon but right before it started, the actress was dragged into a police station. How will you account for the lost ratings when news of this gets out?”

Officer Lee had only received a call to make an arrest and had not thought so much about it.

Now that Joel questioned him like this, he became stunned.

“W-Well, Miss Katz’s innocence has been proven. If Young Master Foster is worried, the bureau can make an announcement and post it online.”

Joel coolly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“If announcements were useful, would there be so many other reputations ruined because of mistakes made by the police?”

These days, no matter where the announcement came from, as long as someone entered the station, it would cause a bloody storm outside.

This was especially true with the sensitive topic of abusing drugs.

If one went in and never came out, and the charges were true, then people would say that their private life was chaotic and it was a good thing that they left that circle.

If one went in and came back out, and the charges were not substantiated, the people would say that they had a strong background or a powerful family, and only walked away because of their connections.

Therefore, it did not matter what the final result of the matter was or who the person in question was.

As long as someone saw Lucy being taken away from the banquet hall, the stain on her name would never be washed away.

This was the current living state of celebrities as well as the current environment of the Internet.

There was no medicine for the brain.

As soon as Officer Lee heard Joel’s words, he knew that Joel would not let the matter go easily and started to grow anxious.

“Young Master Foster, you have to understand that we handle cases impartially. I’m really sorry if this has caused Miss Katz or you any trouble, but we had been following the standard of procedure. We really didn’t expect…”
