Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 158

She turned her head to look at Laura, who desperately shook her head. She held back her tears that were about to come out due to panic and gritted her teeth, “Natalia, I’ve never had something like those, someone is framing me.”

In fact, Natalia knew it even without her saying it.

This was clearly a trap. She knew Laura well enough, not to mention that she would never touch these things that would ruin her future.

One must be fool enough to bring such things to such an occasion today.

Natalia calmed herself down and said to the officer, “I think the thing might not be so simple. I believe that she would not do such a thing.”

The officer sneered, “We will know whether the stuff belongs to her when we go back to the police station and check it out. This is not something you can say.”

After saying that, he ignored Natalia and waved his hand, “Take her away!”

“Wait!”

Natalia’s face turned pale. However, she and Nathan could not stop them if they just insisted on bringing her away.

Seeing that they had handcuffed Laura, Natalia quickly took out her phone and called Max.

Archie had gone abroad on business these days and could not be counted on. Luckily, Max was here today.

He was the son of the Nixon family and also had shares in Annie International. As Star Entertainment was under Annie International not, he would not walk away from this matter.

Sure enough, in the parlor, Max was having a good conversation with a few seniors. He was shocked when he suddenly received a call.

“What? You said they found some drugs on her? She was already taken away?”

“Yes! But right now the people out there probably haven’t know what’s going on. I’m going to deal with the emergency PR instantly. Max, you should hurriedly find a way to get her out first!”

Natalia was so crisp and decisive that she did not give him time to react after the call. She hung up the phone with a snap.

Max stood there and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

It was the Mr. Jefferson behind him who patted him on the shoulder.

“Mr. Nixon, did something happen?”

Only then did he jerk and come back to his senses, slightly changing his face, and look at the few people sitting on the sofa.

“Sorry, there’s an emergency situation over there, I have to go immediately, we can talk next time.”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

It was in the police station.

Laura was sitting on a tin chair, waiting for the results of the urine test.

The bag where the drugs were hidden had already been checked and her fingerprints were not found.

In other words, it had been confirmed that the drugs were not hers, but a urine test was still needed to make sure that she really did not take them.

Laura was in a very bad mood.

She had never expected that something like this would happen.

Not only had she been framed but she did not even have the chance to explain.

When Max arrived in a hurry with his men, he saw her sitting alone on a chair in the corridor and with handcuffs on her hands. She looked helpless.

He felt his heart twitched, so he hurriedly walked over.

“Laura, how are you?”

Laura lifted her head and saw that it was him. A glimmer of hope appeared in her originally bleak eyes.

“Max! What are you doing here?”

She stood up.

Max tightened his eyebrows and he looked gloomy, “I can’t come when something like this had happened to you?”

Laura forced a smile, “People that don’t know the truth will think that you are my boyfriend or something.”

Max stiffened his face when he heard that. After a while, he waved his hand, “Alright, let’s not talk about that. What’s going on now? Hurry up and tell me!”

Laura then told him how she was bumped into by the waiter, how she was taken away by the police and how the police frisked her.

In fact, the matter was very simple. Max could understand it without much detail.

After listening to Laura’s account, Max sneered.

Such a blatant conspiracy was full of loopholes, and the aim was never to frame her and to put Laura in jail.

After all, if the matter was brought to the police station, the truth could be found out with a simple investigation.

It seemed like a prank by some people, just to ruin her reputation and give her a hard time.

As expected, the urine test results came out after a while.

Laura did not take drugs and the blood sample showed that she had never taken any drugs either.

She was innocent.

Of course, she always knew that she had never taken drugs, but she still let out a sigh of relief when the results came out.

When the officers saw Max coming, they finally decided to let her go. After all, it was already proved that Laura was innocent.

So, the officer smiled and walked forward. He said to Max, “Mr. Nixon, I’m really sorry. It seems that this is a misunderstanding. Since Miss Davies is an artist under your company, there is naturally no problem. I’m really sorry for bothering you to make this trip in the middle of the night.”

Max looked at him indifferently and followed by a sudden smile.

“So you mean, this matter will be over just like that, officer?”

“Uh...”

The officer gave Laura an awkward glance and then looked at him again and laughed, “Mr. Nixon, you mean...”

“Heh! My artist was being falsely accused and you took her away in public without investigating properly. How would you pay for the damage to her reputation?”

“Annie International has spent hundreds of millions on the drama, and it is about to go on air in no time. However, just before it can even come out, the actress is in jail. How would you pay for our loss in viewing rates when news like this gets out?”

The officer did not think about it much when he received a call to arrest her.

And now, questioned by Max, he was immediately confused.

“Isn’t it that Ms. Davies had been proved innocent? If Mr. Nixon is worried about the gossip, I can come out with an announcement and post it online.”

Max pulled the corner of his mouth indifferently.

“If an announcement is enough, why there are still so many cases of reputations being ruined due to mistakes?”

These days, it did not matter where the announcement was made, as long as the person was in the police station, there would be many rumors in the public.

Especially if it was linked to a sensitive topic like drug use.

If you went into a police station and did not come out and the charge was valid, people would say that your private life was a mess and there were no good people in the entertainment circle.

If you went into a police station and finally came out and the charge turned out invalid, people would say that you had strong support behind you and you must have taken advantage of the relationship.

So, it didn’t really matter what the final outcome of this matter was, or who had come out to announce her innocence.

As long as someone saw Laura being taken away from the banquet hall, her reputation would be ruined.

This was the world of the celebrities, and this was how the public opinions worked on the internet.

Being too imaginary was a disease but there were no remedies for it.

As soon as the officer heard Max’s words, he knew that he would not give up easily. For a moment, he could not help but felt anxious.

“Mr. Nixon, you have to understand that this is our duty to handle this case in such a way. If it has got you and Ms. Davies into trouble, I’m really sorry about it, but we are doing it according to the formal procedure, I really did not expect ...”
