Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 157

Laura exhaled gently, rubbed her wrist that was red from the bump and checked her skirt.

The skirt was borrowed from a sponsor in the company, so it could not get dirty.

Luckily, the waiter had reacted quickly. He had immediately turned the plate in his hand around after realizing that he had bumped into her.

As a result, even though she fell to the floor, her dress was still intact.

She felt so lucky.

Laura was relieved to see that nothing was wrong and was ready to leave.

Max, who was not far away, saw that she was leaving and hurriedly tried to follow her.

However, just at that moment, several guests from the business community gathered around him.

“Mr. Nixon, it’s been a long time since we last met. I heard that you have recently been promoted to be the president of Nixon Group, congratulations.”

“Mr. Nixon, since we’ve met today, why don’t you have a drink with us?”

“Yes, we all want to meet you and have a talk with you. However, we’ve never had the chance. So, today we have to have a good chat with us anyway.”

Max was surrounded by several people and could not leave.

He could ignore other people but not them as they were the bigwigs in the business world.

Although he was the only son of the Nixon family, he could not afford to ignore them. Furthermore, they were all friends of his father and had a lot of business dealings with the Nixon family.

With no choice, Max had to stay and smiled at them, “I felt flattered. Let’s talk over here.”

He led them to the parlor inside.

Laura, on the other hand, was feeling good as she had managed to get rid of him.

However, just when she reached the entrance of the hotel, she was stopped by a few police officers.

“Miss, we have received a report that you are carrying a large number of prohibited items, please come with us.”

...

After following Nathan out to socialize, Natalia then returned to the lobby and turned around, but she could not find Laura.

She simply asked a waiter and realized that she had already left.

So, she did not think too much. It was late now, and Laura still had scenes to shoot tomorrow, so it was normal for her to leave early.

At the same time, in a room right next to the hotel.

Laura looked at the large bag of methamphetamine that had been searched out in front of her in a shock.

“Pop!” With a loud bang, a bright white light was turned on above her head, stinging her eyes and she felt pain.

Laura subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes, and then lowered her hand to look at a serious-faced officer sitting opposite to her.

Her face turned pale.

Although she did not know what was going on until now, one thing was for sure.

She had been framed!

However, who could it be? Who could have framed her with such a dirty trick?

The prohibited items were retrieved from her bag while all her costumes and props today were provided by her company.

Her company would not have framed her, so who would it be?

She suddenly thought of the waiter who had just bumped into her.

At the time she was knocked to the ground, it was the waiter who picked her handbag up, which meant that apart from the people in the company and herself, that waiter was the only one who had touched her bag.

“Say it! Where did these things come from!”

As she was thinking, she heard the officer’s serious voice.

Laura snapped back to her senses and looked at him with a pale face.

“I don’t know, this stuff does not belong to me.”

The officer sneered, "If it’s not yours, can it be someone else’s? Miss, I advise you to give an honest account. You are a public figure, don’t ruin your future!”

Laura’s face suddenly turned pale.

In fact, no matter what she said, if this issue broke out, her future would be ruined.

The person who had framed her was attempting to ruin her!

Realizing this, Laura’s face turned even paler.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down slightly. Then, she said, “Officer, this thing isn’t mine. When I was outside just now, a waiter bumped into me. He must have taken the opportunity to put them into my bag. If you don’t believe me, you can go and watch the CCTV footage. Someone is obviously framing me.”

The officer narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Framing you?”

“Yes! If you still don’t believe me, you can give me a urine test and check if I have a history of drug use. If I don’t have a history of drug use, why do I bring it here?”

“I know how important this occasion is. Isn’t it that I’m asking for trouble bringing such things in? I don’t take drugs as well! It’s obvious that someone had framed me and wants to ruin my future.”

The officer thought for a moment.

Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at her.

“So, who do you think would have framed you?”

“Naturally, the one who had reported it should also be the one who had framed me!”

The officer sneered.

He suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, “Nonsense!”

Another officer next to him also sneered, “The one who reported you was an ordinary waiter. Why did he frame you? If you want to clear yourself, you better find a better excuse first!”

Laura was stunned.

Before she could do anything, she saw the officer waving his big hand.

“Alright, don’t talk nonsense with her, bring the stuff and cuff her out!”

“Yes!”

The cold metal handcuffs were then put around her wrists.

Laura panicked.

No, she could not go out like this.

If she went out like this, everyone would know that she had been handcuffed by the police at the party, then no matter what the reason was, no matter what the truth was, no matter she was innocent or not, she would be ruined forever.

She was in a panic. Just then, the door was slammed open.

Natalia rushed in together with Nathan.

“What’s going on here?”

She had originally thought that it was normal for Laura to leave early.

But then, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was not right.

Laura had come with her, and she was not the kind of person who would leave without giving a proper explanation.

If she left, she would have at least sent a message to her and said something.

But now that she had disappeared without explaining anything, Natalia immediately realized that something was wrong and grabbed two waiters for questioning, only to find out that she had been brought away by the police.

Luckily, in order to make a body search, they temporarily found a place in the hotel instead of cuffing her and directly taking her to the police station.

Natalia asked indifferently, “Officers, what do you mean by this?”

The officer asked, “Who are you?”

Nathan hurriedly stepped forward to introduce himself. The officer did not know Natalia but knew Nathan. After his words, they nodded.

“We received a report, saying that someone was hiding drugs here. We have just searched her body and this is what we found.”

As the man spoke, one of his colleagues brought the packet of methamphetamine up to show it to Natalia.

Natalia’s face turned pale.
