A Cue for Love Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148 Work With Each Other

Bad news travels fast. News spread like wildfire in Yaleview when the cops arrested Natalie for drug dealing. There was a point in history when drugs had nearly destroyed Loang. That was why the royal family and citizens hated drug traffickers to the bone.

No matter how prestigious a person was, he or she would be sentenced to death if they were found to be associated with drugs. After handcuffing Natalie, the cops led her into the patrol car and sat beside her.

“You’re young, gorgeous, and the chairwoman of a company. Yet, you chose to be a drug dealer. You must be out of your mind, huh?” One of the female cops tilted her head, studied Natalie from head to toe, and made a sarcastic remark.

“No one is above the law. Anyone who gets involved in drugs is just courting death. Be prepared to face capital punishment once you’re convicted!” another cop said. Natalie glared at them before giving them a calm response. “I didn’t do it.”

“Still feigning ignorance when all the evidence and witnesses are against you?” One of them snorted. “You think you can get away with it just because you’re rich? Listen carefully, missy. Deny all you want, but trust me, we have ways to get you to confess your crime.”

Natalie had thought she would go through a proper trial, but upon hearing that, she began to feel that something was amiss. Her eyes darkened. The witnesses, evidence, and the trial… It looks like the person had everything planned out.

It was clear that the mastermind wanted to pin the crime on her. Natalie felt a surge of emotions in her heart, as she knew justice would not be on her side once she was taken to the police station.

Instead of paying attention to the female cops’ sarcasm, she shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep. We can only see through a person when we’re in dire straits. The fact that the Leitz family could sneak suspicious items into the stockpile meant that there was a traitor in Dream. Perhaps it’s the right time now to weed the rat out.

Soon, Samuel learned that Natalie had been detained at the police station.

The expression on Emma’s and the five children’s faces stiffened when they heard about the news. They were mad that she had been made a scapegoat, but at the same time, they were also worried she would be gone for good.

Samuel pressed his lips as his eyes darkened. He looked away, as he could no longer hide the bloodlust in his eyes.

“Daddy, will Mommy…” Sophia gently pulled the corner of his shirt and started crying. “Will Mommy come back?”

Samuel was in an utterly bad mood, but he pulled himself together and said to the five children, “I’ll think of a way to rescue your mommy. She’ll return safely, I promise. But I need all of you to stay home and listen to Mrs. Bunton.”

The children wished they could help, but they knew there was nothing much they could do.

Causing a commotion would not do any good and might even add to Samuel’s burden. The children were aware of the consequences.

“Daddy, don’t worry! We’ll listen to Mrs. Bunton! You must bring Mommy home.”

The children were exceptionally thoughtful.

Emma bobbed her head in response. “Don’t worry, Mr. Bowers. I’ll take good care of the children.”

After squatting down and giving each of them a peck on the forehead, he bade them farewell, turned around, and left the house.

Billy was already waiting for him by the door in his Hummer.

“Billy,” Samuel called out.

“Mr. Bowers,” Billy greeted him respectfully.

Once he got into the back seat of the Hummer, Samuel said, “Billy, Mrs. Bowers and I are now in a quandary despite being miles apart. But from now on, we have to work with each other to turn things around.”
