The bodyguard didn’t show any emotion. He remained calm and collected.
He had been on the battlefield killing his enemies with the Great Marshal. There was nothing he hadn’t seen before.
A pistol was definitely not enough to intimidate him.
The crowd was surprised at the bodyguard’s abnormal reaction.
This man is either an outlaw, or he’d been though a lot in his life.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm.
Logan Hugh felt a little awkward. He certainly didn’t dare to shoot the bodyguard in front of the crowd without any
reason.
But it would make him look bad if he didn’t shoot the bodyguard.
In the middle of the dilemma, the bodyguard’s phone rang.
It was a call from Zeke Williams.
“Just let them in. I’ll be there soon,” said Zeke.
“Yes, Sir.”
The bodyguard gave Logan Hugh a disdainful look as he made way for the latter.
Logan Hugh thought that the bodyguard was afraid of him. He sneered and kept his pistol.

At the same time, a group of media reporters came out of nowhere. They rushed towards the private room’s
entrance and started to take photos of what was happening inside.
Harvey Hoffman’s men tried to stop them, but Logan Hugh shouted for them to stop.
These reporters were all from Logan’s entertainment company. He had purposely arranged for this to happen.
Lacey Hinton was frightened at the sudden intrusion. She quickly got to her feet and looked at them in fear.
But Emily Clemons smiled as if a scheme of hers had succeeded.
What an exciting sight. The dawn of victory is right around the corner.
Sharon Edward was also shocked but she remembered what Zeke had said and kept the pinhole camera pointed at
Emily.
When Lacey realized that Logan was there, she knew that nothing good was going to happen.
He’s definitely here to pick a fight.
This man really knows how to haunt someone.
Lacey acted calm as she asked, “What are you doing? We paid for the services and there’s nothing illegal
happening here.”
Harvey Hoffman laughed coldly, “Really? I don’t believe it. I received complaints from the masses that you’ve been
taking drugs. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
Lacey scoffed, “That’s utter nonsense! Why would we ever touch that stuff?”
“It’s not up to you to decide if it’s nonsense or not. Everything is based on evidence nowadays. Workers, please
check their bottles as well as their blood immediately. Lest they deny it later,” Harvey answered.
A few workers immediately walked in. Some tested the alcohol bottles while some took their blood.
Suddenly, Emily fell to her knees with a thud. “Mr. Hoffman, I’ll confess. Please don’t arrest me.”
Lacey’s face immediately went pale when she saw Emily’s unusual reaction.
Harvey Hoffman’s gang obviously came prepared.
Now that Lacey saw Emily’s unusual reaction, a horrible thought formed in her mind.
There’s a high possibility that Harvey and Emily are secretly working together to stir this mess.
A tidal wave of regret instantly overwhelmed her. I should’ve listened to Zeke and never trusted Emily.
“Oh? What is it that you want to confess? Just tell me,” said Harvey.
The media reporters turned their attention to Emily as they started to snap photos of her.
Emily started to weep, “Mr. Hoffman, I’m innocent. I have nothing to do with their use of drugs. I didn’t even touch
the drugs.”
Harvey said coldly, “Nonsense! Once there are drugs detected in this room, none of you will be able to get away

“Mr. Hoffman, please listen to me. I- I’ve been forced to do it! Zeke Williams forced me to do it...”
“That ba****d Zeke... He’s a scumbag. He’s cruel and ruthless. Zeke dumped me when he found his new interest.
I’ve been with him for so many years, diligent and hardworking. But who knew, he ended up falling for Lacey and
dumped me.”
“But he wouldn’t leave me alone even after we broke up. He sold me to this old karaoke bar and took all the money
I earn to buy drugs for him and Lacey.”
“Mr. Hoffman, I’ve been wronged... You have to help me!” Emily sobbed.
Everyone was shocked at her statement and started to crusade against Zeke.
“What? He dumped his fiancée and fell in love with another woman! He... He’s really a scumbag!”
“No, No. That’s an insult to all scumbags. He sold his ex-girlfriend to a karaoke bar and spend her money on drugs...
He’s worse than a beast.”
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that there are such shameless people in this world.”
“Sigh... I can’t believe the famous Zeke Williams is actually such a character!”
Lacey was furious. “Emily Clemons, you- you’re spouting nonsense! You were the one who broke up with Zeke
because he was poor! How can you cook up a story saying that he has dumped you? Even after your breakup,
you’ve been constantly scheming against us and forcing us into a dead end! But we forgave you over and over
again. Yet... You’re repaying our kindness with revenge! You’re slandering us! What kind of a person are you?”
