Chapter 107
Within the office of the automotive R&D project team.
Joyce had just sat down for a short while, and she had taken a few sips of her coffee and turned on her computer just as she was about to start drawing.
However, there was suddenly a huge commotion on the 12th floor and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps, neat and heavy.
Four staff members in dark blue police uniforms stepped out of the elevator, pushed open the glass partition door, and walked straight and fast toward the project team’s office, each with a serious look, their eyes shining.
They all had a blue security badge on their chests, and on their patches on their arms, the words Khebury Police Department stood out.
What a big show. The project team stood up and watched.
People had been whispering, “What’s wrong? Why are there so many police officers here.”
As a supervisor, Lauren had no idea what could be going on. She was kind of forced to go up and just wanted to speak.
The police officer at the head of the group, Karl Gregory, was a good-looking man with a height of around 180 or more and a strong body. He showed his ID and said in a loud voice, “We are the Criminal Police Detachment of the Second Precinct of the Police Department, Miss Lauren. And we received a report that you had used illegal drugs against an innocent woman and instructed a man to rape that woman.”
“This is a notice of detention, please come with us.” Another officer showed the official document.
“You have the right to remain silent. If you choose not to, then anything you say might be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney at the time of your trial. Are you fully aware of your aforementioned rights?” Karl finished with an expressionless face, and without waiting for Lauren to answer, ordered the other officers, “Take her away.”
“Me? What did I do? What drug?” Lauren was confused as the two officers came up and pinned her left and right, and she could only desperately resist, “You’ve got the wrong person, let go, let go of me!”
Charlotte stood up from her seat at this time and stared blankly at the scene, her heart in shock and fear, and a few moments of gratitude.
Luther was really efficient and he got to Lauren almost in no time. She had been so lucky when she used Lauren’s pills that night.
Lauren was forcibly dragged along by two police officers, and all the way, it was like she suddenly remembered something… Were they talking about those little pink pills she bought? But she didn’t end up using those pills, did she?
She screamed in fear, her usual meticulous image completely gone, “I lost my pills! It really wasn’t me who used the pills, it wasn’t me.”
Joyce’s eyes were wide open as she looked at Lauren incredulously. How could it be Lauren? Was there such a big problem between the two of them? Lauren would just hate her so much that Lauren would have to kill her.
Lauren turned her head to Charlotte and shouted for help, “Charlotte, you can prove it for me, I didn’t use those drugs. Charlotte you help me.” The only person she could think of at this moment was Charlotte, who had such a strong background and could help her with a simple move of her fingers.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Charlotte sniffed and frowned deeply. Damn woman, how dare she try to put the fire on herself.
She pretended to be frightened. Her almond eyes were wide open, and she reached out to point at Lauren and complained, “Lauren, I have told you not to think of revenge, how could you really do such a thing? I thought, I thought you were just drunk and angry, but I didn’t expect that you actually used those pills! Oh my God!” After saying that, she covered her lips and put on an incredulous face.
