Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1482

The anxious Trevor was behaving as though he was a guilty person giving himself away by consciously protesting his innocence. Almost at the same time, Victoria took his hand and chimed in.

"Hubby, I know you love me, but if they want to search my paintings, let them do so! Those are all painting materials, so there isn’t anything wrong with them! I brought all of it over with me. Those are professional dyes for painting. Be careful, and don't spill them!"

It was what Trevor feared, yet Victoria tried to shoulder all the responsibilities by herself. On top of feeling touched, he was more worried. Victoria, on the other hand, flashed a calm smile.

Right then, someone sent the search warrant over before the troop of police officers immediately got down to check the painting. In no time, they shook their head at Officer Lawson.

"There's no positive reaction!"

"It's impossible! It must be! Look, there are clearly traces of burnt ashes. They must have sucked the drugs and destroyed the packet. Hurry up! How can it not be detected?"

Glancing at the ashes on one side, Victoria calmly refuted.

"That is just a piece of paper I burnt. This is a painting technique of mine. I drew my husband on this painting since I intended to give it to him as a birthday present. As I wanted to express my affection and love for him even if I have to sacrifice myself in the burning flame, I chose to add some burnt ashes to the black background and integrate drips of my blood. Art requires new and creative ideas. It isn’t against the law, is it?"

While speaking, she raised her hand to reveal her wound before dipping the brush in the dye to draw a flower at the right-hand corner of the drawing board.

"This is my exclusive label! The paint has somewhat solidified after being interrupted. What a pity..."

It was a reasonable explanation. Even the crowd was doubtful, no one could say anything.

"I’ve received orders to carry out my duties. Please forgive me if I've offended you in any way!"

As soon as Officer Lawson spoke, Trevor understood that things had come to an end. "It's fine. It is my duty to cooperate with the investigation!"

Mr. Harris was obviously not reconciled. Howling, he began to point at the brush. "The brush! The dye can be destroyed, but traces will be left on the brush. Trust me!"

Since Mr. Harris would not stop creating a fuss any time then, the staff member took the test paper to check the brush. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of Mr. Harris who gesticulated.

"Did you see that? There's no positive reaction!"

At the same time, Trevor spoke up, "Officer Lawson, I demand severe punishment towards this person who slandered and severely harmed my reputation!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Trevor. We'll enforce the law and seek justice for you!"

Fooled by Mr. Harris, Officer Lawson seethed with wrath as he remembered how he had braced himself to apply for the search warrant, but they found nothing. With a wave of his hand, two men stepped forward to throw Mr. Harris out. Soon, the group retreated in an orderly manner.

Watching everyone leave, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief. "That was close!"

Although the group had disappeared from her sight, Victoria's gaze remained fixed on the brush.

Settling on the sofa, Trevor remained gripping Victoria's hand. "Are you all right? Shall I clean your wound and bandage it up?!"

Shaking her head, Victoria comforted him in return, "It's fine. It's just a small wound and has stopped bleeding!"

Raising her hand, she indicated for him to look at her fingertip. A red dot was a stark contrast to her fair skin.
