The assistant smiled obsequiously at what I had said. "Mrs. Roberts, of course, I didn't mean you. You're so nice to us. You wouldn't make things difficult for us. I'm talking about the other Mrs. Roberts." "Are you saying that woman looked like me?"

Perhaps it had been Naomi. She must have tricked them by dressing up her face to look like me. It wasn't surprising for people to not recognize others as well as their loved ones after all.

"Of course not, she's nothing like you. She looked like one of those influencers..." Realizing that she had said something wrong, she quickly corrected herself. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to criticize Mr. Roberts' taste."

I realized that this woman would always babble about for a long time and would never get straight to the point. It was no wonder that she was still a junior assistant even after moving from the Cultural City to this club. Listening to her speak caused others to feel anxious.

Luckily, Anne knew how to control the conversation and asked about the most important thing, "Where's the wine?" "In the basement cellar," The assistant answered calmly then turned sideways to lead us to the basement.

Anne was about to walk ahead when sirens blared from behind them.

We turned around and saw a police car with it's red and blue lights turned on. The car stopped at the entrance of the club. Several uniformed policemen got out of the car and headed towards our direction. The head officer showed us his badge along with a search warrant in his hand. "Your club is under suspicion of illegal smuggling. We have to search the place in accordance to the law. May I know who is in charge of this place?"

I stepped forward and stood in front of Anne. "I am."

At this moment, I recalled how helpless Monique was before. I couldn't believe that after so many years, it would happen to Anne as well.

These dirty tricks were definitely Lucas' idea. It must have been him in the car earlier.

After so many years, Anne was now a grown-up. Yet, he hadn't improved at all and only knew to frame others. He could've gotten more creative at least.

The wines stored in the club were of very high value and there were a lot of them. The total amount of money involved was significantly high. Compared to when Monique was framed for using drugs, this was much more serious. As the actual owner of the club, Anne was very likely going to be arrested.
