Chapter: 385
“Alright then, just you wait!” Matt glowered at him before making his way out.
“Rhys! What good will it do to burn bridges? You’re just lucky that you got the prescription formula. Don’t get all cocky thinking you’re all that. You’re only making things difficult for yoursell by going against Matt! You despicable person! All you do is rely on others! Just you wail, Rhys! You’re going to get it!” Julie was just about to leave after she ran her mouth berating Dustin, when several police officers came in.
“Are you Julie Amberson?” The leader asked.
“So what if I am?” Julie shot them a dirty look.
“We just received a report that you are in league with Morgan Finn and Harvey Marcs for selling drugs in private. We have concrete evidence. You’ll need to come with us.”
“Hey! What nonsense is that? When have I sold drugs in private?” Julie was terrified.
“Still denying, are we? Harvey Marcs has just pointed you out as the mastermind!”
“N–no way! That’s not possible! How could Harvey point me out? You must be mistaken!” Julie shook her head vigorously.
“Come with us, and we’ll find out if we’re mistaken. Bring her away!” The leading officer could not be bothered to waste more time with her. He gave the order to have Julie cuffed and brought away.
“I’m innocent! This is an injustice! Matt! Save me, Matt!” Julie was utterly flustered. She cried out desperately for help, but there was no one there to help her. Matt had hidden away the moment he sensed trouble. He wasn’t about to get himself involved. He did not expect Mr. Marcs to push the blame on Julie.
An hour later, James burst into the Nicholson manor hurriedly.
“Mom! I’ve got bad news! Julie’s in big trouble!”
“Trouble? What trouble?” Florence was enjoying her tea and responded slowly.
“Matt just called to tell me that Julie’s been sent to jail!” That was a shocking piece of news.
“What?” Florence sat bolt upright when she heard that.
“How did that happen? Why would Julie suddenly be locked up?”
“Matt said that Julie went to the Harmons to buy something called Immortunol, and she got into some sort of conflict with Dustin. Somehow, Julie ended up detained for stealing drugs, James explained.
“Stealing drugs? No! That’s impossible! Julie might be spoiled, but she would never commit thell!” As Florence spoke, she suddenly seemed to catch an important piece of information, “Hang on, did you just say that Julie had a conflict with Dustin, which was why she got caught? Could it be possible that the worthless piece of trash pulled a dirty trick on her?”
“That’s right! That’s what Matt said too!” James nodded.
“That rascal has been resentful towards us all along.
This time, he must have framed Julie up to seek revenge for his personal grievances!”
“That monster! Has he no conscience?” Florence was so furious that she slammed her hand on the table. She spat her words through clenched jaws.
“The Nicholson family has been nothing but kind to him, but not only is he not grateful, he repays our kindness with enmity. He’s nothing but a treacherous beast who betrays people who showed him kindness!”
“What do we do now, Mom?” James asked.
“We have to use our connections to bail Julie out!” Florence was flustered. Julie was her only niece, and she doted on her so.
