Chapter 492
Lord Protector Novel
The lab technician glared at Emily, âIf you are not satisfied with the results, you can file a complaint to the higher authorities. If you continue to insult us, we donât mind taking legal actions.â
âI...â Emily nearly passed out from anger.
Harvey Hoffmanâs face turned sallow. He couldnât accept the results too.
âLab technician, is there a possibility that youâve mixed up the blood samples?â Harvey asked cautiously.
The lab technician was not amused upon hearing this. He said, âMr. Hoffman, we are professionals. Do you think we would make such a low mistake? If you donât believe us, you can take the test results and the blood samples to the higher authorities. Weâll take responsibility for the results.â
Harvey Hoffman paled. He knew that the inspectors would never make such a mistake.
At that moment, Harvey silently cursed Logan and everyone else in his family. Damn it, Logan! What kind of a crappy plan is this? You made me a joke in public!
What should I do? What should I do?
Harvey took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as he said, âAlthough you didnât take drugs, you have been in the same room as Emily and condoned her use of drugs. Both of you have to take responsibility for that.â
Emily froze. What?
They condoned me using drugs?
So youâre determined that Iâm on drugs?
F**king Harvey Hoffman! Youâre just going to sacrifice me to deal with Zeke and Lacey?
F**k! Whatever. It doesnât matter if I die. As long as Iâm able to destroy Zeke and Laceyâs reputation, I donât mind sacrificing myself.
Iâll just pay the fine and be detained if things took a turn for the worse.
But itâs different for Zeke and Lacey. Both of them are celebrities. If they lose their reputation, their business is sure to fall apart.
âWeâve been wrongly accused. Weâre innocent. Emily begged us to come here. And we didnât see her taking drugs,â said Zeke.
âEverything is about evidence nowadays. If you have no evidence, thereâs no point talking about it,â
Harvey stated.
âNo problem. We have the evidence,â replied Zeke.
Zeke looked towards Sharon Edward and said, âMs. Edward, can you show everyone the evidence you took with your camera?â
Emily was dumbfounded.
Wasnât she his âsecretaryâ earlier? Why is it âMs. Edwardâ now?
Emilyâs heart skipped a beat as she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen soon.
Sharon nodded and pulled out the pinhole camera. Once she connected it to the player, the contents from the recording earlier began to play.
Her pinhole camera was a professional grade camera, so the video had a resolution of 720p, and the images were quite clear.
Emily was kneeling at the entrance of the Linton Group as she begged for Zeke and Laceyâs forgiveness and even insisted on inviting them out for a meal. It was simply emotional blackmail as she started to sob and wail.
Zeke and Lacey gave in to Emilyâs plead and finally promised to accept the invitation.
The group of people arrived at the karaoke bar. Emily was still acting gallant towards them. She poured them their drinks and flattered them. She had stooped to a level even lower than an attendant in a karaoke.
Just as Zeke and Lacey were singing âWill You Be My Honeyâ, Zeke paused the video.
âNow everyone, please pay attention to what is going to happen next.â
With that, the crowd paid full attention as they watched.
Zeke pressed on the âplayâ button and the video continued playing.
While the two of them were singing together, Emily suddenly reached out towards their cups.
Zeke paused again and zoomed in on Emilyâs hand.
Right in Emilyâs palm were two white crystals.
Zeke looked towards the lab technician and asked, âCan both of you identify what this is?â
The lab technician blurted, âBased on its shape and outlook, it might be meth crystals.â
A slight smile appeared on Zekeâs lips, âThis should be enough to prove our innocence, right? Emily wanted to frame us, but she failed.â
Emily was on the verge of a breakdown.
Crap! Zeke had filmed everything! He even noticed that I tried to poison them!
He... But why would he film everything?
Zeke even made someone to act like his secretary to follow me around!
Common sense told Emily that Zeke knew about her plans right from the beginning and he had beaten her in her own game.
But I was the only one who knew about this plan besides Hadley and Logan. How did Zeke find out?
She suddenly thought about how Zeke and Hadley had come back together. They looked pretty close.
Crap! Hadley has betrayed me!
No, more accurately, Hadley and Zeke had always been on the same team. They had conspired against me!
They have calculated every step I made!
I fell for Zekeâs plan...
Emily was about to go crazy when she found the truth.
She glared at Zeke with bloodshot eyes.
