Chapter 536 - Telling The Truth (1)

Emily planned all the details, but she did not expect that Elsie would even throw herself into the trap at the cost of her life.

The Britts were taken away for investigation, but Susan and the butler didn't know exactly what was going on. On the other hand, Emily was pretending to know nothing about it. The police couldn't get anything out of them, so they were released half an hour later.

As for the other people in charge of Granding Group, they had been detained for positive results of urine tests. Police were undertaking further investigations, including the incident that Elsie almost died in the bathtub, as well as the popular star, Dixon, who came out at the midnight to gather and take drugs. He even was accused of involving in sex trades and so on. For a time, public opinion was in full swing.

Since they were all public figures with social influence, the municipal security bureau had to investigate it in a strict manner.

Elsie woke up in the hospital and had a drug addiction. Out of unknown reasons, she, in a daze, struggled to get out of bed. After being stopped, she violently bit people and went crazy. She even hit her head against the wall. Fortunately, after being injected with a tranquilizer by the doctor, she quickly calmed down. However, her mind was still in a mess. She kept talking crazily, crying and laughing with a scary expression.

Even Susan and the butler couldn't bear to see this.

Emily said to the police, "Although I don't like her, she is still a member of the Britts. I will find out the truth. No matter who our enemies are, I will definitely sue their ass off!"

"The municipal bureau will tell you the truth." Said the policeman who was guarding the door of the ward.

"Alright, I'll wait for your truth."

After leaving the ward, Emily found the doctor and asked about Elsie's situation, "So you said that she is really addicted to drugs?"

She didn't quite believe it because the whole process hadn't even been a month. However, Emily didn't know much about drugs and didn't dare to make any random conclusions. She only thought that maybe it was because the police were at the door, and Elsie tried her best to perform the scene just now in order to achieve the effect. Unexpectedly, the doctor said that it was true.

"How long does it take to get addicted to drugs?" She asked.

"Every drug addict takes a different time to get addicted to drugs. It is often related to the nature, the category, the intensity, the dosage of drugs, and the psychological factors, and the drug-resistant degree of drug users. Moreover, it concerns many other factors such as the educational level of users and the social environment on the whole. Generally speaking, drugs with strong toxicity are more addictive, and vice versa." The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "To be frank, for example, if a person who has never taken drugs uses an intravenous injection method for the first time, two injections every day with 0.1 gram per time will make him addicted in two days. Once the drug addict breaks off from drugs, drug addiction will break out after eight or nine hours."

So, Elsie wasn't pretending just now, it was true.

In the bathroom, Emily washed her face in front of the sink. Then, she quietly looked at the person in the mirror. She seemed to have changed a little. She didn't know if it was because she had lost weight or for some other reason. Her eyes were no longer pure and cute. The expression in her eyes was faint as if she was tired, but it also seemed like she had maintained her usual indifference and silence.

The plan she gave Elsie was to get close to those people and find any projects they were taking over, even if it was an advertisement, she would act when it was time. However, she did not expect that Elsie planned to leave no leeway for herself at the beginning. She took drugs with those people since she came into contact with them.

There was no turning back. In order to make accomplices of them, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself.

In Maury's mourning meeting, everyone knew that the second daughter and the eldest daughter of the Britts were not of the same mother, so the relationship between the two was not very good. Furthermore, they even despised each other.

Therefore, apparently, Elsie didn't do this for Emily, since they wouldn't cooperate to scheme against others.

Of course, the public opinion was also within Emily's consideration. She had made full use of the herd effect, otherwise, it would not reach the current situation that was very conducive to the Britt Group.

Granding Group's stocks plummeted overnight. Not only that, but the commercial cooperation with Dixon had also implicated a lot of people. The director of the Shanghai Legend and Dixon's management company all claimed compensation from Granding Group. Some of the company's female artists revealed that they had suffered from the unspoken rules owing to the current public opinion. For a moment, Granding Group completely collapsed!

The last straw that broke the camel's back was that when the police were investigating from morning to night, they accidentally found out that Branden was also involved.

In order to gain a firm foothold in City Y, Branden got a priceless artifact from somewhere, and he gave it to the municipal secretary of City Y.
