Chapter 446 Let’s See Whose Strength Prevails

“The Taylor Group is holding a press conference for their new product launch, scheduled for Tuesday, the same day as ours. They are trying to challenge us!”

Upon hearing the words of the head of design, Cecelia nodded in understanding. “I see. Don’t let them influence us; our new product launch will proceed as planned.”

“Yes, understood!”

The head of design left, and Cecelia went to inspect the ready-to-wear samples by the designer Morgan Fisher.

After going through the entire collection, Cecelia praised, “Well done, Morgan. Next, I’ll arrange for your team to coordinate with the models from Weely Crop. for fitting sessions. The success of the Tangerine Group’s new product launch on Tuesday relies heavily on your designs.”

“Of course, Ms Linsey. I won’t let you down,” Morgan replied confidently.

After discussing with Morgan, Cecelia, and CEO Ludwig Mavis had a small meeting to make final preparations for Tuesday’s new product launch.

With the affairs of the Tangerine Group settled Cecelia headed to Weely Crop. to meet with Cynthia.

As soon as Cynthia saw Cecelia, she grabbed Cecelia’s arm and asked, “Cecelia, what’s going on? What happened to my favorite idol? Weren’t you and my brother at the premiere last night?”

Originally, Cynthia had also planned to attend the premiere, but their plans changed due to Shepard’s last-minute surgery.

“It’s quite sudden. Jimmy has been taken into custody by the police, and Remington is helping with the investigation. We can only wait for updates. There’s nothing else we can do.”

The two of them discussed Jimmy for a while before shifting the conversation to the upcoming new product launch. Cynthia asked, “I just heard that the Taylor Group is also holding a new product launch on Tuesday. Aren’t they challenging you? What’s your plan?”

“I won’t back down just because of her provocation! Whether we hold the events together or not, let’s see whose strength prevails!”

Cecelia wouldn’t easily yield; she knew that Petunia Taylor was intentionally provoking her.

“All right! I’ve already secured the models you’ll need. Later, you can go to the Tangerine Group’s headquarters.”

Cynthia led Cecelia to inspect the model team. In addition to that, she requested a backup model team to be prepared.

With everything in order, Cecelia contacted Remington to inquire about the progress of the investigation on his end.

At a private residence.

Winger and others had been guarding this place for a long time and finally saw Jimmy’s assistant, Tommy, returning from the police.

As soon as Tommy opened the door to the residence, he was grabbed from behind and pushed into the room.

“Help!…”

Tommy shouted for help as he was pushed into the room. “Who are you people?”

“Don’t move!”

Tommy was pressed against the table, and he quickly saw a tall figure entering from the doorway.

He recognized the person; it was Remington!

“Mr. Nelson…”

Tommy, upon seeing Remington, hurriedly asked, “Mr. Nelson, what are you doing? Why are you arresting me?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Remington walked into the room and waved his hand. Immediately, Winger and Fredric dragged Tommy to a chair and tied him up with a rope.

Tommy struggled a few times but found that he couldn’t move. He looked at Remington, whose expression was dark, and the menacing bodyguards around. He was terrified, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

“Mr. Nelson, what is this about?”

“Tommy, I’m giving you a chance to save yourself. Just tell me why there were drugs in Jimmy’s bag and residence. ” Remington asked coldly.

“I told everything! I’ve already told the police everything. It was Jimmy who used that stuff!”

“Nonsense!”

Remington rebuked sharply, making Tommy shiver.

“Jimmy may be in the industry, but he’s clean and never gets involved with illegal activities. How could this suddenly happen to him? Could it be that someone deliberately set him up?”

“I… I don’t know…”

“You don’t know? As his assistant, responsible for his daily life, besides you and his manager, who else could access his residence and touch his belongings?”

Remington had already ruled out Jimmy’s family, manager, driver, and nanny; the only one worth suspecting was his assistant, Tommy.

“It wasn’t me! I’m innocent!”

Tommy, with a frightened face, tried to explain himself.

Remington remained silent, his gaze shadowed, and he didn’t resort to extreme measures to force a confession.

Winger spoke on Remington’s behalf, “Tommy, we found out that your father back in your hometown is seriously ill and needs surgery. You were desperately looking for money. Jimmy unconditionally gave you forty thousand dollars to help with your father’s treatment. He treated you as his brother, but how did you repay him?”

Tommy was speechless and lowered his head, feeling ashamed.

“We also found out that there have been recent deposits of 120,000 dollars into your account. Where did this money come from?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“I… I borrowed it…”

“From whom did you borrow it? With your social connections and networks, who could lend you such a huge sum?”

“…” Tommy couldn’t provide an answer, and sweat dripped down from his forehead.

“If your father found out that his son was ungrateful, do you think he would accept this money peacefully?”

In the end, Tommy’s conscience remained, and under Winger’s prodding, he began to cry, “I was wrong… I was wrong… I’m sorry, Jimmy…”

“Tell us, what happened?” Remington asked again.

“Someone… someone approached me and said that if I helped them with something, they would pay me 120,000 dollars.” Tommy started crying and explained, “I was just too greedy and desperate for money, so I… I’m such a terrible person…”

If his hands weren’t tied, Tommy might have slapped himself hard.

Jimmy treated him like a brother, and gave him money for his father’s treatment, and what did he do?

He stabbed Jimmy in the back, and now, he regretted it deeply.

“Who was the person who approached you?”

“I met him at the Twister Bar. His name is Venom. He also gave me the drugs; he’s involved in that business.”

Tommy recounted the whole story, and Remington, after understanding the situation, had Winger take Tommy to the police station to give a formal statement. He also arranged for Winger to contact the police and apprehend Venom at the Twister Bar.

Everyone went their separate ways, with Tommy taken to the police station, and Winger and plainclothes officers going to the Twister Bar to apprehend Venom.

They disguised themselves as buyers and eventually found the location of Venom in a private booth. They kicked the door open.

Pang!

With a loud crash, they startled the group inside who were in the middle of a transaction.

“Police! Don’t move! Raise your hands!”

Accompanied by the shout from the plainclothes officers, Venom, wearing a black shirt, saw the police approaching and hastily pushed a few of his associates aside, leaped up, and jumped out of the window.

“Capture him! Don’t let him escape!”
