His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 830

In the interrogation room.

Gordon sat silently next to Jason, watching him become an impenetrable fortress of ice, shielding him from the brunt of the storm, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

He'd be crying if it weren't for the fact that he had a girl he fancied.

If it wasn't for her, he'd almost be falling for Jason!

Jason kept his cool on the surface, but inside, his heart was racing.

The whole situation reeked of something fishy. The cops seemed almost too eager to pin this on Gordon, as if they were afraid he'd make a miraculous comeback.

Drug possession, even as a buyer with a small amount, could land you in the slammer for at least six months!

A conviction, even a minor one, would be like a nuclear blast to Gordon's career as the chief secretary of the Abernathy Group. His future would be destroyed in an instant!

In another room.

Harry, the S-Star Group lackey who sold the drugs to Gordon, was in a private chat with Hogan.

"The S-Star Group strictly prohibits its members from dabbling in drugs, you know that. What you did has made Mark extremely angry," Hogan glowered at him.

The thought of Mark, who was as strict as they come and not one to shy away from brutality, turned Harry's face ashen, shaking so much that his chair squeaked in protest.

"Mark's given you two choices. One, you take the fall all by yourself. Tell the cops you pushed the drugs on Mr. Gordon. When he didn't bite, you got pissed and slipped it into his suit pocket. From start to finish, it's all on you, nothing to do with Mr. Gordon."

Harry's eyes reddened with anger, but he was too scared to speak out.

They had even crafted his confession for him. Those S-Star Group lawyers were no joke!

"If you don't agree, well, whether you make it out of jail alive is another matter. And then there's your elderly mother, and your brother back home still single. If you play ball, Mark will look after your family. If you don't, he'll make sure you're all reunited down below."

Upon hearing this, Harry's world spun, and he nodded furiously,

"I'll take the fall! I confess! Please ask Mark not to harm my mom and brother! I'll take whatever blame there is!"

Satisfied, Hogan nodded and then asked coldly, "Mark also wants to know if you were set up to frame Mr. Gordon. Who's the puppet master behind you? If you confess, I'll do my best to get your sentence reduced."

"Truly there was no one," Harry rushed to confess, "The guy came to my joint for three days straight, didn't partake in anything, just snooped around. I suspected he wanted to score, so I approached him. He was cautious at first, kept asking about the stuff. I watched him for a while before I made the deal. No one told me to do it. It's just, why on earth did the cops come busting in on the day of the deal? Talk about bad luck!"

Hogan frowned, "The stuff? Is that slang for the drugs?"

Harry clung to his hand like a lifeline, pleading desperately, "Please, explain it to Mark for me! I-I did use it to make a little extra on the side, but it's medicine! It's not drugs!"
