Jack stepped forward and held an arrest warrant in front of Justin.
He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone present could hear him loud and clear. "Mr. Salvador, you are under suspicion of drug abuse. Please come with us."
The words hit like a meteor crashing through the sky, leaving everyone stunned and scrambling to process what they had just heard.
Justin's brow twitched sharply, and his temples throbbed painfully.
"Drug abuse? Are you accusing Justin of drug abuse? That's absurd!" Gregory was so shocked he went pale, his voice trembling with disbelief.
Ian's mind buzzed, and he nearly blacked out from listening to the accusation.
Jack added smugly, "We wouldn't make an arrest without evidence."
Ralph clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth in silent frustration.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Accusing Justin of drug abuse? He wouldn't believe it even for a second. But now that the case had been reassigned, there was nothing he could do to clear Justin's name.
The employees of Salvador Corporation who had overheard the claim were equally shocked, whispering among themselves in rising waves of disbelief and speculation.
In less than an hour, the news that the president of Salvador Corporation had been arrested for alleged drug abuse would likely spread like wildfire, not only through the company, but perhaps even the entire city of Savrow.
"Ian, stay here. Keep the company running as usual and maintain order," Justin said calmly.
With that, Justin stepped forward with composure, his tall, broad figure radiating unshakable confidence. Without panic or hesitation, he said, "I'm willing to fully cooperate with your investigation. Let's go."
At the KS Group, Bella was conducting a meeting with the company's senior executives.
The young woman, dressed in a sharp black suit with sleek, flowing black hair and vibrant rosy lips, stood confidently on stage and presented her proposal with clarity and poise.
The senior executives, who were veterans of the industry, listened intently and took detailed notes, impressed by her exceptional competence.
Bella exuded calm authority; her composure and charisma reminded them of the golden era under Wyatt's leadership.
Just as the meeting reached a pivotal moment, Bella's earpiece buzzed with Steven's urgent voice.
"Ms. Bella, we have a problem! Mr. Salvador has been taken in by the police on suspicion of drug abuse!"
Bella froze, her breath catching in her throat. The laser pointer in her hand slipped and fell to the ground. The executives exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of how to react.
Bending gracefully, she picked up the pointer with trembling fingers and straightened her back stiffly.
She forced a calm smile, but her reddened eyes betrayed the storm brewing within her. "Let's continue the meeting."
One hour later, when Bella was finally back in her office, she snapped, grabbing a cup from her desk and hurling it at the wall.
Steven knew she was truly furious now; her anger had reached its boiling point.
"Ralph didn't want to disrupt your work, so he called me first to explain the situation," Steven said, his expression heavy. "I realized it was urgent and informed you immediately."
Taking a deep breath, he continued in a low voice, "Ralph has been removed from the case and can no longer interfere. I've heard Mr. Salvador is already at the station, and they'll be conducting a urine test or hair analysis to verify the allegations."
Bella gritted her teeth, pressing her palms to her burning forehead. Her voice was tight with suppressed rage. "The medication Justin has been taking contains banned substances. Even if he hasn't used drugs, the tests will label him an addict." She paused, her voice trembling with emotion. "Steven, do you understand what that means?"
Steven hesitated, struggling to respond.
Bella said, her voice trembling with fury, "It means Justin's hard-fought position as president of Salvador Corporation is at serious risk. He could lose everything."
