Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 586

Flatly, Zeke said, “Jeffrey Middleton, to be frank with you, I’m the CEO of this company. Even I had no clue of the door that leads to this corner in the workshop, and yet Mr. Wood and Mr. Hoffman knew more about my own company than I did. Since they were trying their best to stop me from entering that room, could there be something inside that they’re trying to hide?”

Harvey Hoffman and Wilson Wood started to panic inwardly.

They were done for. The drug ops they were running in there would be exposed for everyone to see.

What should we do?

The two of them glanced at each other, seeming to communicate through their eyes alone before nodding subtly.

It was time for their emergency plan.

Jeffrey Middleton’s expression started to sour.

Zeke had reported to them that he had reasons to suspect a drug business was being run here at Reagan Pharmaceutical.

Could this room be the so-called “kitchen”?

Instantly, he knew what to do. “Let’s go check it out.”

He walked toward the room brazenly, kicked the door open, and strutted in.

Harvey, on the other hand, retreated a couple of steps in preparation to escape.

Zeke Williams wasn’t going to give him the chance and instantly signaled his bodyguards to block the entrance.

Harvey glared at Zeke before following them into the room.

There were plenty of tubes set up in the room as well as various bottles and chemicals.

Jeffrey Middleton started taking a closer look at all the test tubes and containers in the lab.

The crowd had fallen silent; everyone was holding their breath.

After a few minutes, Jeffrey barked, “Arrest Harvey Hoffman right this instant! These chemicals are the ingredients for making crystal meth! There are remnants of meth in these tubes. All of this point toward you being at the root of this drug business! I’m arresting you for making and selling drugs!”

Jeffrey Middleton hated drugs above all else.

His father’s death was caused by a drug dealer, and a drug dealer was also the main culprit for paralyzing his master for life. He wanted nothing more than to get rid of all the drugs in the world.

The fact that this room was a main source of drugs was shocking.

Being involved in drug dealing was a serious offense.

This case had been completely turned over on its head.

Wilson was also enraged——or at least he was pretending to be livid. He swung and punched Harvey until the latter collapsed. He then straddled Harvey’s back and pinned his arms behind him.

“You a**hole! Harvey Hoffman, you’re no better than a heartless beast! Mr. Middleton, I’ll come clean with you. Harvey Hoffman told me that Reagan Pharmaceuticals was selling fake medicine that caused his mother’s death. He wanted to temporarily stop Reagan Pharmaceuticals from creating more fake medicine and wanted to find evidence for their forgery. I’ll admit that I helped him out of a personal vendetta since I wanted him to help him avenge his mother’s death. I would never have expected that he would be involved in the drug business! I’ve been blindly dragged into this!”

To save himself, Wilson had to throw Harvey under the bus.

Harvey just grimaced. Wilson Wood was a complete fake out.

Jeffrey Middleton’s face was red with anger. Even his breathing was affected as he inhaled heavily and roared, “How dare you break the law! You’re an official who’s supposed to uphold the law, and yet you went against it! Harvey Hoffman, what else do you have to say for yourself?”

Harvey Hoffman knew he was in serious trouble. “I admit to all my crimes. Secretary Wood, I apologize for disappointing you, but if you’d let me go for just a minute, I have to show something to Mr. Middleton that will expose my partners in crime.”

Wilson Wood glanced at Mr. Middleton to see what his opinion was.

Jeffrey Middleton nodded.

There were so many people here that Harvey had no way of escaping.

Wilson let Harvey go. Harvey stood up and reached a hand into his pocket.

At the very next second, he took out a dagger and charged toward Susan. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
