Lord Protector Novel

The lab technician glared at Emily, “If you are not satisfied with the results, you can file a complaint to the higher authorities. If you continue to insult us, we don’t mind taking legal actions.”

“I...” Emily nearly passed out from anger.

Harvey Hoffman’s face turned sallow. He couldn’t accept the results too.

“Lab technician, is there a possibility that you’ve mixed up the blood samples?” Harvey asked cautiously.

The lab technician was not amused upon hearing this. He said, “Mr. Hoffman, we are professionals. Do you think we would make such a low mistake? If you don’t believe us, you can take the test results and the blood samples to the higher authorities. We’ll take responsibility for the results.”

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, “Although you didn’t 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.”

Emily froze. What?

They condoned me using drugs?

So you’re determined that I’m on drugs?

F**king Harvey Hoffman! You’re just going to sacrifice me to deal with Zeke and Lacey?

F**k! Whatever. It doesn’t matter if I die. As long as I’m able to destroy Zeke and Lacey’s reputation, I don’t mind sacrificing myself.

I’ll just pay the fine and be detained if things took a turn for the worse.

But it’s different for Zeke and Lacey. Both of them are celebrities. If they lose their reputation, their business is sure to fall apart.

“We’ve been wrongly accused. We’re innocent. Emily begged us to come here. And we didn’t see her taking drugs,” said Zeke.

“Everything is about evidence nowadays. If you have no evidence, there’s no point talking about it,” Harvey stated.

“No problem. We have the evidence,” replied Zeke.

Zeke looked towards Sharon Edward and said, “Ms. Edward, can you show everyone the evidence you took with your camera?”

Emily was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t she his ‘secretary’ earlier? Why is it ‘Ms. Edward’ now?

Emily’s 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 Lacey’s 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 Emily’s 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 ‘Will You Be My Honey’, Zeke paused the video.

“Now everyone, please pay attention to what is going to happen next.”

With that, the crowd paid full attention as they watched.

Zeke pressed on the ‘play’ 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 Emily’s hand.

Right in Emily’s palm were two white crystals.

Zeke looked towards the lab technician and asked, “Can both of you identify what this is?”
