After the call connected, Septimus spoke and chuckled as he stepped away from the gambling table.
The people surrounding him all turned their gazes on him in unison, exchanging puzzled looks with each other
After all, Septimus would never let anything interrupt his gambling sessions.
Yet, this time, he left the gambling table solely because of a single phone call.
This naturally sparked everyone’s curiosity. Il’ho on earth is he speaking to on the phone?
“How do you know I need something from you? We’re old friends, can’t I just call to check up on you?” Madelyn’s voice was casual,
Upon hearing this, Septimus burst into hearty laughter. “Ms, Thornton, I’ve grown accustomed to your style. You never show up without a reason. What brings you to me this time? Just tell me,”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn couldn’t help but chuckle. “It seems you’re really good at reading people, Mr. Septimus, so I guess I won’t beat around the bush.”
Following that, she made her intentions clear. “Actually, I want you to help me investigate an illicit drug.”
“Another illicit drug?” Surprised, Septimus asked, “Ms. Thornton, you claim you’re not a drug dealer, so why do you keep looking for illicit drugs?”
Madelyn snorted coldly. “Why do you care about that? All I need is for you to help me look into it.”
With a chuckle, Septimus could only nod in agreement. “Alright, alright. Whatever you say. Your wish is my command.”
“I’m glad you know your place,” Madelyn replied in a teasing tone.
However, she stopped joking and spoke candidly. “I will send you the exact composition of the drug in a bit. As for you, just utilize your astonishing influence in the black market to help me find out if there is anyone named Janessa who has purchased this drug. That’s all.”
“That’s all
“Yes, it’s as simple as that.”
The two engaged in a brief exchange. After a quick back and forth, their conversation came to an end.
In the end, Madelyn instructed, “Remember, as soon as you find anything on Janessa, inform me immediately.”
“Got it.” Septimus could only nod in agreement.
Just as he was preparing to say a few more words, Madelyn abruptly ended the call.

Following that, Septimus began to initiate the investigation.
Several hours later, he called back to report the results.
“So, did you find anything?” Madelyn asked.

Septimus nodded. “We found that a woman named Janessa did purchase the illicit drug from one of our black–market dealers.”
“Just as expected!” Madelyn narrowed her eyes, contiming to ask, “When was it sold to Janessa?”
The timing of Rupert’s incident had to be consistent with when Janessa purchased the medicine. Only then could it serve as evidence against her.
Septimus said. “The dealer mentioned that it was bought from him about half a month ago.”
“Are you sure?”
“I am. The drug is extremely rare, so the dealer must have kept a record,” he confirmed.
“That’s good then.”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn gave a nod of acknowledgement and then instructed, “Septimus, I have another favor to ask of you. Keep an eye on the black market dealer. If necessary, I might need him to step forward as a witness.”
Without hesitation, Septimus readily agreed, “No problem.”
Following the phone call, Madelyn immediately relayed the information to Cheryl.
After hearing the news, Cheryl couldn’t help but express her outrage. “That despicable Janessa, she’s heartless enough to even harm her own father! Madelyn, I’m going to call the police right now and have Janessa arrested.”
“Uh huh. Madelyn nodded.
“However…” Cheryl suddenly hesitated. “Janessa’s aunt is really powerful. What if I managed to get Janessa arrested, but her aunt somehow manages to bail her out again?”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Indeed, Rachel’s identity was still shrouded in mystery. Even up to that moment, Madelyn had not been able to figure out what she did for a living.
Yet, it was she who managed to secure Janessa’s release from the law enforcement agency, a feat no ordinary individual was capable of.
If they didn’t deal with Janessa’s aunt, Janessa would certainly cause more trouble for them, especially with such a powerful backer.
At this thought, Madelyn’s expression grew somber.
In the end, she said to Cheryl, “You should call the police first. As for Janessa’s aunt, I’ll figure something

That night, at Elite Club, the dance floor pulsed with music, disco lights flashing over the ecstatic faces of everyone present. The entire club was buzzing with excitement.
Right then. Janessa was seated at the bar, downing one drink after another.
Lately, her business ventures had been suffering failures which greatly dampened her spirit. Thus, she had no choice but to come here and dance her worries away, drowning her sorrows with liquor.
At that moment, an unfamiliar man suddenly approached. “Hey, beautiful, how about we share a drink?”
Upon glancing at that person, Janessa immediately splashed a glass of wine toward him.
“You’ve got some nerve, b*tch, daring to throw your drink at me. You’re asking for trouble!” The man was immediately infuriated, rolling up his sleeves to throw a punch.
At that moment, Janessa was in a foul mood. So, without any hesitation, she picked up another glass of wine and splashed it onto the man’s face once again.
“So what if I did? Stay away from me!”
The man was taken aback, as he hadn’t expected Janessa to react so brazenly. After a moment of stunned silence, he was immediately outraged.
“You b*tch, I merely invited you for a drink, and you had the audacity to disrespect me. Don’t blame me for being harsh now!”
The man spoke, raising his arm high.
Seeing the impending slap about to fall, Janessa was terrified and quickly shut her eyes.
However, a few seconds later, the expected pain didn’t materialize.
What happened?
Puzzled, Janessa gradually opened her eyes.
Then, a handsome man appeared at her side. He reached out and firmly grasped the attacker’s arm. “If you know what’s good for you, stay away! My mistress is not someone you can lay a finger on.”
Following that, Javier firmly struck the man’s wrist.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts! I’m sorry, bro. I was wrong, I was wrong. I’ll leave right now. Please, I beg you to let me go!” the man cried out in pain, his pleas echoing continuously.
With a cold huff, Javier let go of the man’s hand but followed up with a harsh kick. “Scram!” he snapped.
Following that, the man was extremely terrified.
Finally, Janessa managed to regain her senses. When she realized she had been rescued by her subordinate. Javier, she heaved a sigh of relief.
