“Captain, these are the things we found from him.”
The police officer who had just apprehended Remy held a small bag as he reported to Boyd.
Inside were several colorful MDMA pills.
Boyd took the bag, bringing it to his nose and sniffing it. When he saw the dazed look in Remy’s and
Lily’s eyes, his face darkened.
“Mr. Robles, these two have broken the law. They have to be taken back to the police station for

Sanford nodded. “I understand. Just give me one more minute. I have something to ask him.”
“Go ahead,” Boyd replied and stepped back.
Sanford walked over to Remy, asking the police to let him go. Once the policeman released him,
Sanford threw a heavy punch to Remy’s face.
The next moment, Remy fell to the floor, the pain from the blow shocking him back to sobriety.
He stared blankly at Sanford, confusion written all over his face.
Sanford squatted down and gave his cheek a couple of pats.
“You’ve got some guts, Remy. I invited you to my engagement party out of kindness, and you repay me
by messing it all up? Who gave you these MDMA pills? Who ordered you to stir up trouble here?”
Remy’s confused expression deepened. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Sanford smiled coldly and grabbed his collar.
“Still denying it, huh? You have the audacity to bring those shitting drugs to my party and then pretend
to be innocent? You’re asking for trouble!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRemy finally understood what he was saying and frantically said, “Mr. Robles, I didn’t do it!”
Sanford got closer and whispered in his ear, low and threatening, “Did you really think you would be
able to walk away unscathed after framing other people? What goes around comes around.”
His voice was cold and dripping with mockery.
Remy paled at his words. Looking at Janiya, it finally dawned on him-he was being set up.
He had colluded with Janiya to frame Maggie’s brother by saying that he assaulted Lily, and now
Sanford was exacting revenge by pinning the blame on him for the drugs at the party.
Unfortunately for Remy, he was a casualty in the fight between the mother and son.
Sanford pushed Remy away, then stood up and smoothed a hand over his clothes.
“You can take these two away, Officer.”
He spoke politely, in a way that reflected his affluent background.
