After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 261 - 256: Carlos’s Methods (Part 2)

But before Cedric Shaw could respond, young Kane Bennet couldn’t hold back the fury boiling inside.

His face flushed red, eyes glaring, as he pointed a finger straight at Carlos’s nose and shouted loudly,

"How did he get released?

He’s put several of our people in the hospital, some are still unconscious!"

Just as Kane finished his words, the Bennet Estate attorney behind him rushed forward, his face serious and his tone threatening.

"Attorney Shaw, you better think this through.

The consequences of obstructing justice are extremely serious; you might even lose your license as a lawyer!"

From the viewpoint of this Bennet Estate attorney, Carlos’s public brawl and the severe injuries he caused should have made it impossible for him to be bailed out, no matter how capable Cedric Shaw might be.

"Kane, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to press charges against me?"

Carlos’s lips curled into a slight, elusive smile, his captivating eyes fixed on Kane.

Despite the smile, Kane felt a chill run from his feet to his head, making every hair on his body stand on end.

He hadn’t forgotten how, just last night, Carlos single-handedly left dozens of them sprawled on the ground without any chance to retaliate.

However, Kane quickly recalled the information his cousin, Doctor Bennet, had shared with him, which renewed his confidence.

He thought to himself that Carlos was nothing but a discarded pawn from the Carter Family, a toothless tiger not worth fearing.

"That’s right, I’m going to press charges against you!"

Kane stood his ground, his stance defiant, his face full of provocation.

He then glanced slyly at Emily Parker standing next to Carlos, a glint of malice in his eyes,

"And not just you, your woman too. She just publicly slandered my mother!"

With that, Kane exchanged a smug glance with Mrs. Bennet, both wearing a triumphant expression as if already witnessing Carlos and Emily being brought to justice.

"Officers, quickly, arrest these two!"

Mrs. Bennet stood with her hands on her hips, chin high, nostrils flared, exuding an air of arrogance as if the place was hers.

At this moment, Cedric Shaw made a call, then calmly approached the officers, whispering something to them.

The officers’ stern expressions changed instantly, shock flashing across their eyes.

They exchanged glances and quickly pulled out their handcuffs, striding towards Kane.

Seeing this, the smugness in Kane’s eyes grew, his lips curling up as if he was about to enjoy the sight of Carlos and Emily in handcuffs.

However, in the next moment, with a crisp "snap," the cuffs landed squarely on Kane’s wrists.

Kane’s confident smile froze instantly, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"What’s going on?

Why are you arresting my son?"

Mrs. Bennet’s face turned as pale as a sheet, her voice quivering with panic.

Even Doctor Bennet was rendered motionless by the sudden turn of events, lost in confusion.

Emily was likewise stunned by the unexpected twist.

Oliver Ross stood with his mouth agape, as if he could swallow an egg, utterly speechless, his eyes full of doubt.

"Why are you arresting me?

Did Carlos bribe you?

Let me tell you, he’s broke now, not a penny to his name!"

Kane was still yelling hoarsely, his face a mix of anger and frustration as he struggled against the cuffs.

"Kane Bennet, you’re under suspicion of smuggling and trafficking drugs.

The tests on your hospitalized friends showed a mix of results.

Moreover, our officers just found some illegal substances in the seat of your car."

The officer’s expression was stern, eyes sharp as an eagle’s, announcing the investigation results, each word striking heavily upon Kane’s heart.

With the officer’s announcement, Kane’s face turned pale, then darkened, veins bulging on his forehead, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

"Slander, this must be slander. My son is so well-behaved, he’d never do something so illegal, it must be him setting up my son, arrest him, arrest him!"

Mrs. Bennet still didn’t grasp the situation and couldn’t accept the reality, shrieking in an attempt to change everything and shift the blame onto Carlos.

"Then you should ask your precious son. To prove my innocence, I’m willing to undergo a drug test.

Of course, Kane, you’d better remember to take one too."

Carlos remained calm and unconcerned, spreading his hands, a hint of mockery in his eyes fixed on Kane.

Kane felt like his head was struck with a loud "buzz," and he collapsed weakly to the ground with a thud.

His face was ashen, eyes filled with fear and despair.

Last night, he pretended to be injured and stubbornly refused to take a drug test, thinking he could narrowly escape and muddle through, but he didn’t expect his deception to be exposed now...

While everyone’s attention was focused on young Kane, in a corner unnoticed by others, Doctor Bennet sensed that something was wrong, and a trace of panic flickered in her eyes.

She quietly shifted her steps, trying to leave this place of trouble amidst the chaos.

However, her small movements could not escape the eyes of the police.

A quick-witted policewoman immediately stepped forward, mercilessly blocking her path.

Following that, the policewoman swiftly took out a pair of handcuffs, and with a "click" sound, securely fastened them on Doctor Bennet’s hands.

"Sally Bennet, we now suspect you of involvement in smuggling a new type of illegal drug, and we’re arresting you according to the law."

The female police officer’s expression was serious, her voice firm and forceful, each word clearly piercing into Doctor Bennet’s ears.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Bennet felt the world spinning, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Her body swayed uncontrollably, and if it weren’t for the policewoman’s quick reaction to grab her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"It was her, it was her who introduced me to a new drug from abroad that’s particularly easy to sell. My allowance wasn’t enough, so I sold the drugs with her to my good buddies..."

Kane’s face was ashen, his legs trembling uncontrollably. Realizing the situation could no longer be hidden, his fear overwhelmed him like a tide.

He could no longer hold it together; immediately, the truth poured out of him like beans from a bamboo tube.

Mrs. Bennet, hearing her son’s words, suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning. She was so furious that she rushed forward, ripping and biting at Doctor Bennet, and the two women wrestled into a brawl.

Carlos stood to the side, a faint cold smile appearing on his face. He walked over to Emily Parker.

"Did you do it on purpose?

When did you discover that Kane and his gang were illegally selling drugs?"

Emily Parker witnessed the farcical scene before her and realized that Carlos’s recent fight was far more complicated than she had imagined.

Questions flooded her mind like a tide, and she was eager to know the truth.

"Do you remember that time at the cinema?"

Carlos nodded, his gaze deep, casually responding with a question.

Speaking of that night, he slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of reminiscence flashing in them, as if his thoughts had returned to the experience at the cinema.

Emily was slightly startled, quickly recalling the scene at the cinema in her mind. She remembered the ambiguity of that evening and blushed instantly.

To ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Emily coughed lightly, trying to divert attention.

"What does that night have to do with them?"

She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Carlos’s gaze, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Seeing Emily’s fair skin blush from shyness, Carlos couldn’t help but chuckle softly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"At the time, I suspected it was you who drugged me."

Carlos had always felt that Emily’s marriage to him was a meticulously orchestrated conspiracy, but over time, spending days and nights together, his doubts began to waver.

During these days, he never stopped investigating, determined to find out what kind of drug had caught him off guard that day at the cinema.

Due to certain special reasons, he had an unusually strong resistance to most drugs from a young age, so the drug that easily affected him had to be extraordinary.

"I followed the clues and finally discovered that these drugs came from abroad. In the country, they only appeared in a very limited number of occasions.

Coincidentally, I learned that someone recently saw such drugs at one of Kane Bennet’s parties."

Carlos’s gaze was deep, a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Listening to Carlos’s account, Emily couldn’t help but be surprised, and she also admired his perseverance.

"So you’ve been investigating this all along, but why didn’t you tell me?"

Emily looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes, staring directly into Carlos’s eyes.

Carlos then revealed a wry smile.

"At first, I was unsure about your position, and I also didn’t want to involve you, fearing it might bring you danger."

The helplessness in Carlos’s voice was evident; he knew the complexity of this matter all too well.

Kane and Doctor Bennet were both involved, and Carlos believed that their connections alone were insufficient to form such a smuggling and selling network.

There must be others behind them.

A warm current surged in Emily’s heart. Although she was somewhat unhappy with Carlos’s concealment, she understood his good intentions.

"And now, do you still suspect me?"

Emily asked softly.

Looking into Emily’s clear eyes, Carlos’s heart softened.

He had long stopped suspecting; over the past few days, Carlos gradually realized an important truth: Emily was very important to him.

Just as Carlos was about to speak, he heard someone exclaim.

"Miss, what’s wrong with you?"
