My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 61

I did not refuse and we arrived at the police station soon after. Monique was detained in the

interrogation room. The police officer spotted me and asked, "Are you Miss Arianna Reid?"

I nodded and inquired anxiously, "Why was Monique arrested? What happened?"

"Miss Caulfield is suspected to be selling methamphetamine illegally, so we will need to look into it.

Miss Reid, we would appreciate your cooperation."

The police officer spoke in a stern voice.

I was so shocked that I broke out in a cold sweat. Methamphetamine?

Why would Monique be involved with drugs?

I grabbed the police officer and was a little agitated. "Sir, Monique would never do anything against the

law. There must be some misunderstandings. Please look into it."

He frowned and replied, "Miss Reid, don't worry. We will investigate it. We have some questions to ask

you, please come with me."

I did not have time to think about it. I followed the police officer into the interrogation room. After a few

questions, I had roughly figured out what was going on.

The previous night, someone had found a large amount of methamphetamine in Monique's bar.

Strangely, why did that person wait until the next day to file the police report?

After my interrogation, I met Monique. It had only been a few hours, but she did not put on any makeup

and her dark circles made her look haggard.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She saw me and seized my arm. "Arianna, someone set me up. It was Andrea! She came to the bar

with a man last night. I thought she was just there to have a drink but I didn't expect her to frame me."

Andrea went to the bar with a man?

"Did you see the man's face?" I asked her while wondering who would go with Andrea besides Hendrix

and Austin.

"He was tall and didn't look like a good guy. Oh right, when I went to Roberts Group to look for you, I

heard someone addressing him as Mr. Shelley!"

Austin Shelley?

Andrea did not like me but why would she drag Monique down?

"Why didn't they call the police yesterday?" No matter how I thought about it, the entire situation didn't

make sense.

Monique rubbed her eyes and explained, "They wanted to frame me. In the morning, the police found

methamphetamine in my wardrobe!"

I could feel the tension between my eyebrows. "Monique, are you hiding something from me?" Judging

from Andrea's character, she would definitely go all out with Monique. Why did she attack Monique

while the bar was left unscathed?

Monique was hesitant before she explained, "Arianna, okay, I'll tell you but don't be angry. The truth is,

Hendrix bought the bar. Back then, when you asked me if I wanted to move to Andoland, he had

already bought it."

I was at a loss for words and asked puzzledly after a while, "Why would Hendrix buy it?" Roberts Group

had enough work piled for him. What was he going to do with a bar?

Monique shook her head. "I don't know. A month ago, Hendrix came to me and paid double the price

for the bar. Later, the bar was under Andrea's name. I wanted to tell you about it but you were too busy.

You weren't in good shape either, so..."

After thinking about it carefully, it was a horrendous ordeal. Hendrix had bought the bar and registered

it under Andrea's name. How was that different from Andrea buying it on her own?

Hendrix would not be stingy to give Andrea what she wanted. Yet, Andrea was not targeting the bar.

She was setting the trap for me!
