"What did you do exactly?" Lilly asked with an unpleasant tone, but the waiter who had brought the drink earlier retorted, "What's the use of scolding me? It's been so long and your medicine still hasn't taken effect, how is that my fault? I had done exactly as you asked."
"Hmph, there's no way the medicine could have gone wrong. When the medicine takes effect, I'll make sure this little slut's reputation is completely ruined!"Lily looked at Emma on the stage with resentment, her current expression filled with hatred.
As she walked towards Emma, she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented with a bad premonition in her heart. Lily you're here Emma spoke again, "Oh, by the way, Grandpa, Lily also has a gift for you. Let's open it together." She waved her hand and a group of men dressed in luxury store uniforms brought up a box.
Although Grandpa Thompson was not very interested, he still had someone open the gift box. This sudden turn of events caught Lily off guard and she couldn't stop it. Lily was also a celebrity in the circle, and with Emma's presence, everyone's curiosity was piqued.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense when Grandpa Thompson's face changed drastically. However, this change was clearly different from before. He seemed to be laughing in anger and said to lily, "You're really good, much better than your friend!"
The gift box was thrown to the ground, revealing its contents to everyone's eyes. Everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.
It was an exquisitely crafted antique copper snuff bottle! This thing was used for smoking opium! The pipe looked expensive at first glance, and every detail of the craftsmanship was top-notch.
But... Old Master Thompson had spent the first half of his life fighting drug trafficking on the border.
Everyone knew that several of the heartbreaking events in his life were related to opium.
Therefore, this kind of thing was taboo in the Thompson family!
"My goodness, is Lily here to cause trouble?"
"Who knows, I always feel like this woman is trying to get attention. I didn't expect my intuition to be right. She must be trying to go crazy for fame."
Lily was stunned and stood still. She looked at Emma and said ,
"You..."
Emma walked down to her and whispered in her ear, "This gift was carefully selected by you. I'm giving it to Grandpa on your behalf, so your efforts won't be in vain. Look, Grandpa even praised you."
She smiled sincerely, as if she really cared about Lily.
Lily almost lost her mind. She just kept explaining, "No, it wasn't me who gave it to you. It was obviously Emma who prepared it for you."
As she spoke, tears almost fell from her eyes, looking pitiful.
Then she turned around and scolded the shop assistant, "Who sent you? I don't even know you. Who instructed you to impersonate me and send things to anger Grandpa?
Her words were undoubtedly trying to smear Emma.
But the man just bowed slightly and took out a receipt.
"Miss Lily, this is the credit card record of the deposit you paid. It was indeed you who came to our store to order this handmade snuff bottle and specified the completion date. Of course, we also have a video of you placing the order in our store."
"You..."
A few months ago, she did indeed take Emma to that luxury store to order the snuff bottle. But she never thought that she would be shooting herself in the foot!
Lily wanted to argue, but the man had already held the receipt under her nose.
The payer on it was indeed her!
At this point, lily knew that denying it any further was useless.
At this time, the wooden door in the front hall was pushed open with a loud bang from outside.
Seven or eight prosecutors in black rushed in.
The leader's face was serious, "Who is Miss Emma? We have received a report that you are suspected of drug use and possession. Please cooperate with the investigation!"
What?
The prosecutors were confident in their words, and everyone's face changed.
Daring to break into the Thompson family directly meant that the prosecutors had enough evidence.
Under the reversed situation, all the guests began to whisper, full of complaints about Emma.
Lily exclaimed, "Impossible! Emma couldn't have done such a thing. You have to show evidence!"
The leading prosecutor's face was serious, and his expression became more suspicious, "Naturally, we will take a blood sample for testing."
However, Emma's face remained calm.
The situation developed exactly the same as in her previous life.
Next, they would detect drug components in her body.
A large amount of evidence would be found in her bag.
She would get into trouble, and both the Thompson family and the Matthew family would be humiliated.
But today, it was different from her previous life!
The prosecutor waved his hand and surrounded Emma ,"Miss , please cooperate with the investigation immediately!"
At that moment, the crowd suddenly parted to both sides, and Ethan walked up slowly.
The whispering crowd instantly became quiet.
The prosecutor's face also became embarrassed.
After all, Emma was the wife of the Matthew family. Even Ethan couldn't openly protect her in this situation.
