The scion’s arrest was a major scandal in the township.
Joan Gilt’s son was running a drug business inside the hotel his mother built after so much struggle in life.
He pleaded innocence with tears in his eyes and his mother’s name on his lips as a shield.
The police officer interrogating him said,
“You belong to an illustrious family. But ensure that the lights are bright on the porch and in the basement. It helps with transparency and prevents shady acts.”
He knew it was more than a snide remark. They had all the proof. There was no escape.

Great piece of writing Reena – I’m sure he’ll slip out of any major punishment
