CHAPTER

Seeing the unresponsive Young Miss, he slightly bent and patted her shoulder, calling her, "Young Miss."

She opened her eyes and looked around, "What happened?", she asked in confusion, her eyes landing on Jennifer.

"I said why am I here?", Jennifer softly asked. The woman before her was dressed quite ordinarily, but she was cautious anyhow. Mr. Gale was beaten very badly, so she couldn't risk anyone knowing her involvement.

Blinking away the sleepiness, "I must have dozed off.", she muttered to herself yawning.

"I think you already know the answer, Miss Scott.", She pointed towards Mr. Gale.

Jennifer stiffened lightly, her face paled, but didn't dropped the act of innocence, "I don't know, Miss. I think you are mistaken.", she said in a docile manner.

"Let's cut the crap, shall we? I don't have time for this. Why did you drug that woman?"

"..."

"Come on, Miss Scott. We both know what you have done."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Miss Scott, just tell me the reasons and then we'll go on own ways."

"You are accussing me of things I haven't done. Who do you think you are to do such thing?", Jennifer voice got louder but without losing the sweet tone.

She sighed loudly, signalling the guards. The guard bring a young lean man who was trembling and on the verge of crying. She waved her hand to tell him to speak.

"Yo-young Miss, it is Miss Scott who had given me some money and the drug to mix with the juice of the woman. I didn't do it intentionally, please forgive me, Young Miss.", he said quickly, kneeling on his knees and bowing at her.

Jennifer's eyes widened, and she stuttered, "This, th-is. He is lying, I don't even know him, I don't know what he is talking about."

"No, Young Miss, I'm not lying, please believe me, I don't even know the other woman.", he quickly blurted out of fear that he will be accused of mishap that happened today.

"You! Stop lying.", Jennifer moved to slap the young man but the guards raised their hand warning her to stop. She stomped her feet, glaring at the guards.

"He is enough for you to lose your reputation, Miss Scott."

Jennifer turned to her, seemingly losing all the facade, the glare now aimed at her.

"Do you know who I am? I will destroy you without blinking my eyes.", Jennifer angrily threatened.

"You are Miss Jennifer Scott, daughter of Mr Juan Scott of Scott enterprise.", Secretary Paul said indifferently.

She sighed lazily. Her lips turned into a conniving smile, a dimple on her right cheek appeared, as she straighten up in the chair, then in a said in a high pitched voice waving her hands in gestures, "Do you know who i am? Do you know who my daddy is? I'm the spoiled princess twerp of my daddy. I'm so high and mighty, you peasant can't even touch my heels, I'm entitled to do anything in this world because my daddy is rich."

"..."

"Aahh! I never get tired of these dialogues. Do you, Secretary Paul?", she craned her neck to looked at him.

"No, Young Miss. I quite enjoy the clowns.", Secretary Paul said seriously while nodding his head.

Nodding her head in agreement, she looked at Jennifer, "She does look like a clown though."

Fuming, Jennifer tried her best to control her anger, "I don't what you expect me to accept, but this man is lying, I don't even know him."

"I don't want to deal with this bullshit. All the evidences are enough to prove your involvement, Miss Scott."

"You can prove nothing because I have done nothing."

"Even the greatest criminal minds sometimes make mistakes."

"I suggest you to control your tongue, Miss. I'm not a criminal. I can sue you for what you are doing to me.", Jessica said defiantly.

"Aww, I would like to see you do that, Miss Scott."

"Do you think I can't do that?"

She shrugged her shoulder slightly, casually inspecting her nails, which had some dried blood stuck in them. She said, smirking at her nails, "I don't think, Miss Scott, I know. But first, do you think your daddy has the capability to messed with the Elliots?"

Jessica's heart skipped a beat on the mention of Elliot Family. Elliot Family was one of the three most infuential families of Zea City. They were known to be very secretive, out of the coverage of any media, nobody knew how the members of Elliot Family looks like except for the few members who were in higher positions. The identity of rest of the Elliot Family were a mystery to the world. Abode Castle was under the control of the head of the family, Master Elliot, if he knew what happened here or her involvement, he could destroy the whole Scott family with a snap of his fingers.

"Do you know, this hotel holds a deep meaning for Master Elliot?"

Everyone present in the lobby knew the significance of this hotel. Madam Elliot inherited this hotel from her father, and it was also where Master Elliot and Madam Elliot had met for the first time, and how much this hotel was treasured by Madam Elliot. Master Elliot doesn't tolerate any kind of scandal in this hotel, severe punishment were personally given by the man himself.

A slow satisfied smirk appears on her face as Jennifer's face ashen with fear.

"Prosti- oh not that, what is the word for that, hm, yeah, human trafficking. Would Master Elliot tolerate human trafficking in his hotel?", she commented derisively.

"....."

"Officer Graham.", Secretary Paul acknowledged the police officer who just arrived at the scene.

Jennifer visibly stiffened, turning slowly to see the police advancing towards them. She ignored Mr. Gale, who was now looking at her, supported and taken by the police officers. Her focus was on the police officer approaching, she will never accept the things she had done even if it kills her. After this matter finishes, she will destroy Faye, the humiliation she had to go through because of that slut.

"Secretary Paul, Young Miss.", Officer Graham nodded at them respectfully.

"Take good care of them for me, Officer Graham.", she stood from the chair, as she politely smiled at the officer.

"Don't worry, Young Miss.", Officer Graham said, turning to Jennifer, with a serious voice he addressed to her, "Miss Scott, shall we?"

"You can't arrest me! I have done nothing!", Jennifer cried out alarmed by the presence of the police officer.

"Miss Scott, I suggest you come with us without any protest, or it might look bad for such a noble lady to be dragged by the police."

"I-"

Officer Graham didn't let Jennifer to continue and gestured her to move. Jennifer decided to quieltly follow and not to bring anymore attention than she had already.

"Whoa, Willy, who did she drugged?"

She turned to see a young man dressed in blue scrubs, his hair disheveled, as if he had tousled his hair quite a time. His cheeky smile made him look much younger than his age.

The hussle disappeared as the police officers left with Mr. Gale and Jennifer.

"You are late."

"Oh! Really, I'm sorry if I had to leave my patients and come here running."

"You owe me a lot. Even Auntie Jeannie came faster than you."

"The hospital is far from here."

"So is the mansion.", she said thoughtfully, then faced Secretary Paul, asking him questioningly, "How did she arrived so early?"

"She was nearby here."

"Ah! Anyways go up, your patient is waiting for you.", she waved him off.

"Alright."

Her attention was now zeroed at the staffs. She pulled out her phone, dialling a number she waited for it to connect.

"Hello.", a deep intimidating voice came.

"Greetings, Master Elliot.", a cunning smile surfaced her face, the staffs looked petrified, they looked at her with anticipation waiting for the next word coming out of her mouth.

"What is it?"

"I am just a little curious."

"About what, Willy?"

"Is human trafficking a facility Abode Castle provides to its guest to satisfy their sexual needs, Master Elliot?"

By now, they knew that she was a volatile person and could do anything as she wished. But they didn't expect her to question Master Elliot such an outrageous question.

"..."

Master Elliot who was discussing some business matter with his son, was now livid by her question. He didn't expected her to disrespect his feelings like that, his hold around the pen tightened, a storm clouded his dark brown eyes. His son sensed the tension from his father, his expression turning serious and concerned.

"What do you mean?", Master Elliot's voice turned menacing.

She chuckled lightly, and said politely, "It's not my place to say anything but it's your place to find everything."

"And Master Elliot, you should handover the responsibility of this hotel to someone else if it's sliding off your grip. It's better with a person with an iron grip. After all, you are getting old."

She disconnected the call, not caring if she offended the old man. Her work was done here.
