At this point, several black-clad individuals surrounded them and threw Jonathan's friends together.
Steffen took out his phone and started recording, giving the order, "Search!"
The black-clad individuals immediately began searching them.
Soon, someone found a white powder packet and reported, "Mr. Riley, found it!"
"And this one has it!"
"Mr. Riley, this guy has it too!"
All of Jonathan's friends had illegal drugs on them.
Jonathan smiled brightly in front of the camera. "What can you do to me? I don't carry any drugs. I don't even know that these guys have them. I'm innocent."
Jonathan was a clever individual. When taking drugs , he never carried them himself; he always had his friends bring them to him.
Curtis chuckled. "A urine test can easily determine the truth."
Jonathan's expression darkened a bit, and he heard Curtis slowly say, "We suspect that you deliberately brought these drugs here to sell to your friends. The crime of trafficking is heavier than possession."
Jonathan's eyes flashed with determination. "Are you threatening me? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid! I have cop friends, and my uncle can change the test result for me! In the end, I won't have any problems! Curtis, I'm telling you, when I get out, I'll kill you, you lame bastard!"
Curtis adjusted the stylish glasses on his nose and smiled softly. "I'm quite scared. So... I think it's necessary to leave myself a life-saving measure."
Jonathan's face changed slightly, and he found it difficult to understand Curtis's intentions. "What do you mean?"
Curtis pushed his wheelchair slowly past Jonathan, preparing to leave the private room, but before that, Curtis cast a glance at him. "After you play around with too many women, how about trying men for once? Since you have such a close relationship with your friends, why not have some fun together?"
With that, Curtis looked up at Steffen. "You're responsible for recording."
Hearing Curtis' request, Steffen was shocked and thought to himself, "Can I say no to this? It's so disgusting to shoot that scene."
Jonathan looked dumbfounded for a moment, then reacted strongly, cursing, "Curtis, how dare you!"
Curtis glanced at Jonathan, and the coldness in his eyes behind the lenses was frightening. "Go ahead, try me if I dare. With the recording, I warn you. Stay away from those three girls in this private room. If you dare to harass them again, I'll make you famous on the internet!"
With that, Curtis immediately asked Adeline to leave, who helped the weak Quinna to her feet and accompanied her out.
Quinna pointed to her bag. "My backpack."
Sara immediately understood and took her bag.
The private room door closed, and soon, the sound of Jonathan's miserable screams could be heard from inside.
...
Curtis ordered someone to take Quinna back home.
Before leaving, Quinna held Adeline's hand and bowed deeply, saying, "Ms. Burton, thank you for coming to rescue me again. I've caused you trouble once more."
Adeline rubbed her head and replied, "It's okay; you helped me before. I should return the favor. If it weren't for your bravery in standing up as a witness during my internship, I would have had my teaching credentials revoked, and I wouldn't be able to teach for the rest of my life."
Quinna looked at Adeline and wiped away tears. "Ms. Burton, don't you hate me? You helped me so much, even at the cost of offending the Morris family. In the end, I admitted in court that I had a romantic relationship with that scumbag, Jonathan."
Adeline forced a smile and said, "Everyone has their own choices. You were young back then, and facing all those rumors and gossip, you wanted to put an end to it. I understand. You were afraid of facing the dark forces, and I can understand that too."
Suddenly, Quinna covered her face and cried. "No, it's not that! My mom has kidney disease and needs to undergo kidney dialysis three times a week. The Morris family found a kidney donor for my mom, and they said that as long as I changed my testimony, they would provide the kidney for my mom, and they'd cover all the expenses. I didn't want to accept, but my dad and brother kept scolding me, calling me ungrateful. My mom even cursed me, saying that if she died, I would be her killer! Ms. Burton, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Would you become the executioner who killed your own mother?"
Adeline looked at Quinna in shock, hugged her, patted her back, and comforted her.
Besides that, she didn't know what else she could do.
She didn't know the immense pressure that Quinna had faced back then.
She even blamed Quinna for not holding on until the end.
Yes, if it were her, what choice would she make?
She was also a child controlled by her family from a young age. How could she not understand what Quinna had suffered?
After comforting Quinna for a while, Adeline let Curtis's men take her away.
When she returned, Tristan had angrily taken his barely conscious son with him.
Adeline didn't know what Curtis had said to him, but she vaguely felt that this matter might not end easily.
Adeline wanted to say something, but Curtis spoke first, "Mom is back; let's go home first and not make her worry."
Adeline nodded.
As they returned to the Riley's residence, Logan came out to greet them.
"Adeline, I have something to talk to you."
