Chapter 730 Popping Candy
Compared to Waverly, Rivodia was a tourism–focused city with only a few nightclubs. Furthermore, La Oriele was the biggest.
It was three in the morning, the hour La Oricle was most busy. Women with alluring figures stood at the entrance to welcome their respective patrons.
Since it would be too eye–catching for a group of people to enter this place, Josie instructed the other men to wait outside while she entered with Moses.
La Oriele was an establishment where people spent money to have fun and get drunk. Josie and Moses sat in a corner to observe the surrounding. Although it seemed like a hedonistic place, many guards were patrolling. They had tattoos on their arms and looked fierce and intimidating.
“Since Robert is the man in charge, I don’t think he will come to this area.” Moses opened a bottle of beer.
“Can you see what they are looking for?” Josie observed the guards.
These guards were thorough with their spot checks. They looked into every booth seat.
Moses considered before answering, “In this kind of establishment, they are most likely searching for drugs.”
Josie agreed with his answer. “What do you think we should do to meet Robert?”
She and Moses exchanged glances.
The former grabbed the beer and took a few sips. It tasted so strong that she nearly teared up from the burn. Then, she pulled out a small packet containing pink powder from her pocket.
Moses widened his eyes in shock. “Jo…” He even forgot to call her Mrs. Russell.
Josie raised her hand. “It’s only popping candy. I asked someone to get it for me before entering.”
Moses pursed his lips. “Are you going to…”
Josie opened the packet and waited for the guards to come near before leaning back and pouring the content into her mouth. The candies crackled on her tongue. She acted like she was in the throes of ecstasy and slumped on the couch. At the same time, she pinched her face to make it seem flushed.
Moses played along and attempted to block her from the guards‘ view.
As expected, those blatant gestures attracted the guards‘ attention. They dashed to their table and pushed Moses away. “What are you doing?”
Josie smiled dreamily and fluttered her lashes. She acted like she was under the drug’s influence.
“Dmn, b*tch!” The men pulled her up. “How dare you take drugs in Mr. Quincy’s premise!”
Josie slumped to the floor and knelt, hugging one of the men’s legs. “Sir, don’t tell anyone…”
Even though Moses had seen many things in his lifetime, he could not help but be amazed by her convincing act.
These men had dealt with too many female drug addicts and had no mercy for them. One of the men
kicked Josie away and said, “Call the police.”
Josie hissed in pain and gritted her teeth, forcing herself to continue acting. “Don’t… Don’t call the police. I
have criminal records…”
“Why did you take drugs when you have criminal records? What an idiot!” One of the men grabbed Josie by her arm. “I haven’t seen you here before.”
Josie’s eyes gleamed with a plan. “I know Mr. Quincy, your boss. If you don’t believe me, ask him!”
The men wavered slightly at her words and exchanged glances. “Who doesn’t know, Mr. Quincy? Don’t act like you’re buddies with him.”
“I know him. Honest!” Josie kneeled on the floor. Her hair was a mess. She looked at the man imploringly. “I knew him since more than ten years ago when he was still a hospital director.”
Josie was unsure, but she had no choice but to utilize this information.
The guards were stunned and looked at Josie with hesitation and uncertainty.
Josic continued, “I’m telling the truth. Ask him if you don’t believe me…”
The leader of the guards immediately instructed someone behind him. “Go inform him about this.”
Then, he kneeled and gripped Josie by her cheeks. “B*tch, this place is worth hundreds of millions. If you cause it to be closed down by the authorities, we will make you wish you were never born!”
He shoved Josie aside, but Josie recklessly clung to him and pleaded, “Sir, I won’t do it again.”
Silence followed.
Ten minutes later, the subordinate returned. “Mr. Quincy said to bring her upstairs.”
