Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 470

At this moment, everyone in the banquet hall was also eager for the police to search quickly.

Carl was wholeheartedly protecting Victoria. Just as he was about to speak indignantly, Victoria beside him calmly reached out and stopped him.

Seeing that it was Victoria, Carl obediently quieted down.

Victoria took a step forward, her cold and sharp gaze glanced at Emily, then looked at the leading police officer and smiled slightly, "Since you received a report, and you are all just doing your job according to the rules, please go ahead and search."

The police originally thought that due to the power of the Preston family, they would encounter obstacles and difficulties, but they didn't expect to hear such a sensible response from Victoria, which made them feel relieved. "Miss Preston is indeed very courageous!"

Seeing this, Emily sneered in her heart. Even at this point, Victoria was still pretending to be calm. Well, I hope you can remain calm when you're locked up in prison!

The police immediately began the search.

Emily secretly glanced at Liam in the corner.

Liam subtly signaled with his eyes that the package was hidden in the storage room next to the guest lounge.

He originally wanted to hide it in the guest lounge, but people were coming in and out of the lounge all the time, making it impossible to discreetly hide the items there.

Moreover, even if he hid the items in the guest lounge, when they were found later, Victoria could still deny it, saying that it was brought by other guests, making it impossible to frame her.

If he wanted to completely frame Victoria, then he had to hide the items in a place where outsiders couldn't enter, and only the Preston family members could access them!

Coincidentally, he saw a small storage room next to the lounge, the door was unlocked, so he quietly slipped in and placed the prohibited drugs in the storage room...

As the police searched, the guests in the banquet hall all craned their necks to watch.

Victoria stood on the side calmly.

Jack was by her side from the beginning to the end.

Mr. and Mrs. Preston, Michael, and Ralph also firmly protected Victoria.

The police searched every lounge from the large banquet hall to the guest lounges, but found no illegal drugs.

The guests gradually became puzzled. Was Emily deliberately framing Victoria again?

Finally, one of the police officers walked into the small storage room next door and suddenly shouted, "It's here!"

The other police officers rushed over upon hearing this, and sure enough, in the corner of the bookshelf, they found a package containing light blue powder in a transparent bag!

The police did not touch it directly but used tools to retrieve the prohibited drugs.

The people in the banquet hall were immediately in an uproar, shocked and curious as they watched from afar.

"Oh my, it's there! It's really been found!"

"Look, it's that light blue powder! Hidden in the storage room!"

"How dare someone privately possess such prohibited drugs? So audacious, it's simply lawless! This is a crime that deserves prison!"

Carl saw the package of prohibited drugs and felt a heavy thump in his heart. His guess was indeed correct. Emily had really set up the trap in advance, intending to trap Victoria!

Carl frowned and looked at Emily in front of him. "Did you secretly put it there?"

Emily arrogantly crossed her arms, feeling extremely relieved that the evidence was conclusive and Victoria was about to go to prison. She sneered, "I just followed the police here. How could I have secretly put it there? Besides, this package was found in the storage room. Only the Preston family can enter the storage room, and outsiders cannot. Isn't it obvious who put the prohibited drugs there?"

Carl's frown deepened at her words.

This Emily really came prepared.

Emily turned to look at the police officer beside her. "Mr. Police Officer, if prohibited drugs are found in the Preston family, will the relevant persons be punished by law?"

The leading police officer glanced at Victoria and nodded slowly, "According to the law, they will be sentenced."

The smile on Emily's face couldn't be concealed anymore, and she looked triumphantly at Victoria.

"Miss Preston, I feel sorry for you. You are so young and beautiful, yet you have committed such illegal acts..."

Seeing this scene, the crowd immediately erupted into a commotion, retreating in panic.

"It's real! This is the prohibited drug with toxins!"

"Oh my god, how could Miss Preston secretly possess such a toxic substance! It's terrifying!"

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, she's definitely going to prison! How long do you think she'll be sentenced?"

Seeing the test results, Emily felt like an arrogant rooster, raising her chin high, taking pleasure in Victoria's misfortune, "Miss Preston, what else do you have to say now?"

A faint smile played on the corners of Victoria's rosy lips as she asked, word by word, "Are you sure this package contains the toxic substance prohibited by law?"

Emily's face showed a hint of arrogance. "The test result is right here. Do you still want to deny it?"

Victoria slowly raised her eyebrows and asked again, "The law states that illegal possession of prohibited drugs is a major crime, right?"

Emily narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Of course!"

Victoria, even if you stall for time and change the topic, you won't get rid of the fate of going to jail!

But then, with a light chuckle, Victoria's eyes, once gentle and beautiful, turned cold. "Alright, since the evidence is conclusive, then the one who should go to jail for committing a crime is Liam Ozai!"

As soon as the words "Liam Ozai" were spoken, the entire scene fell silent, as quiet as a pin drop.

Liam, who had been standing in the corner silently watching all this, suddenly heard his name being spoken by Victoria, and suddenly froze in place.

The smugness and arrogance on Emily's face also froze.

Why did Victoria suddenly mention Liam?

Emily gritted her teeth, as if Victoria's words were completely unreasonable, and criticized, "Victoria, have you lost your mind? The one who privately possessed prohibited drugs is you, what does it have to do with Liam?"

Compared to Emily's desperation, Victoria looked at her calmly and lightly threw a bombshell, "Because... the person who hid this bag in the storage room is Liam."
