VeryNovelChapter 1442: "'Everyone, I appreciate your understanding. Unfortunately, my son isn't feeling well, so we won't be proceeding with the wedding ceremony as planned. But that's of little concern-this is still a wedding. And the banquet will not be affected," Javier announced.
Servants bustled between tables, offering an array of high-end dishes.
Small groups formed here and there, quietly exchanging gossip about the Deleon family's circumstances.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtResting her elbow on the table, Eileen absentmindedly rubbed her chin, watching the crowd.
Her gaze then drifted to Bryan, who sat beside her with a calm demeanor, his thumb slowly tracing the rim of his glass while he listened to Jacob grumble.
The table was packed with familiar faces—Jacob, Julio, and several business partners.
On Eileen's left sat Phoebe, who, ignoring the gossip entirely, fixed her gaze on the second-floor window. Just then, a commotion broke out near the entrance.
A line of police cars rolled up, sirens wailing. As soon as the cars halted at the gates, the car doors flew open, and uniformed officers emerged from the cars and entered the mansion.
"Here comes the real show," Phoebe whispered, giving Eileen a playful nudge.
An officer holding a search warrant stepped forward and walked to Javier and Amoura. "Mr. Deleon, we have received information alleging that your son is the fugitive drug lord, Christos Padilla. Here is a sample of his hair. We need your cooperation now." The hair, sealed inside a clear plastic bag, was presented as crucial evidence.

He had turned a blind eye to her past and let her spend freely from the Deleon fortune—but going after Colby was beyond forgiveness.
Amoura tried hard to keep her composure. "There's no telling where that hair cfrom. This is absurd!" "Absurd or not, Colby Deleon must cwith us for questioning," the officer said, tucking away the evidence while eyeing Amoura. "And we've also received a tip claiming that you're Christos' mother. You need to cwith us, too. " Amoura's tone hardened. "This is outrageous! Today is Colby's wedding day. My husband is not young anymore, and his health condition is fragile. How could you accuse his son and wife like that now? If this stress and worry make him ill, you will be held responsible!" The police remained resolute and produced two arrest warrants.
"Mr. Deleon, please look after yourself. We are sorry to disturb you today, but we require your cooperation now." Javier's body tensed up.
Amoura quickly clutched Javier's arm and urged, eat them m Your!
"Alright." Javier pulled away from Amoura's grip and gestured towards the villa. "Colby is in the bedroom on the second floor. I'll cooperate with your investigation." "Honey!" Amoural was anxious now.
Her role as Javier's wife had kept her free until now. As long as she wasn't exposed or subjected to a DNA test, she could maintain her identity as Amoura.
