Sanford pushed Remy away, then stood up and smoothed a hand over his clothes.

"You can take these two away, Officer."

He spoke politely, in a way that reflected his affluent background.

Boyd nodded his head and answered, “Thank you for your cooperation.

We will be bringing them with us to the police station."

Remy and Lily were taken away in handcuffs.

Remy was evidently agitated. He shouted at Janiya, "Mrs. Robles! Help us! It's because of you that we ended up like this! Tell them to release us!"

Janiya's face darkened.

She felt the weight of the guests' wary eyes on her.

Her blood was boiling with anger. That damned good-for-nothing bastard. He had screamed out loud that he was working for her. Now people would think that she was a criminal too!

“Shut your mouth!"

Boyd, who was about to leave, stopped and frowned.

He motioned to the policemen to stop and asked Remy, “You mean Janiya gave you the drugs?"

Remy realized the gravity of what he had blurted and fell silent.

Sanford turned to his mother and sneered, feigning surprise.

“Mom! Is that true? How could you break the law?"

Janiya denied it furiously. “I didn't!"

"But everyone heard what he said!"

Sanford, faking distress, said, "You are my mother, but I can't just turn a blind eye to it if you have committed a crime. Please go with the police and cooperate with the investigation."

"W-What did you say?"
