Chapter 904
904 Unrepentant
On the day that Dulcie jumped, there was a psychological counselor present when Hailey was questioned. The counselor was also very courteous to Sally.
Were they ignoring everything today?
“I am going to file a complaint against you. You are affecting my studies. Don’t even think that you can still be a police officer anymore!”
The influence brought by Sothoth was not entirely bad. Rainy days can affect a person’s mood, and there. were factors in water that could stimulate inner thoughts. That was the reason Wynter brought him along.
It was difficult to get anything out of Hailey with the way she was acting earlier. She was calling out to the detective, trying to be sweet, though she was cruel in reality. It was also tough to find any fault with her.
She was so distraught now that she nearly gave Thomas, who was just outside, a heart attack.
He held his chest with one hand, knowing he was finished even without looking at Dalton’s face.
They held back their identities for a long time and interrogated Hailey in the school to prevent the news from leaking out. It was also to lure Thomas so that they could apprehend him.
The moment he arrived at the school, he was destined to be unable to clear himself.
Thomas did not understand what went wrong. He had taught Hailey what to say. Why did she break down
at this time?
Thomas tried holding himself together.
With a bang, the classroom door opened.
It was Wynter. She glanced at Hailey, who was still shouting, her long hair in a mess. When Hailey saw who was outside, she quickly ran out of the classroom.
“Grandpa, what took you so long?”
Thomas‘ heart nearly stopped after being shouted at. He got to see his granddaughter, just as he wished.
However, this scene was also casually recorded by Wynter.
Haily was still shouting. “This person has been recording me. Grandpa, have someone fire her. She simply
Thomas slapped her, and Hailey was stunned.
Thomas did not have time to care about her at all. He stepped forward to explain, “Ms. Quinnell, my granddaughter is still young, and she’s babbling nonsense.
“As someone from the Department of Education, no matter how great my abilities are, I could not influence the police’s handling of this case.”
“Do you know me?” Wynter smiled. “Then I won’t beat around the bush. Your granddaughter mentioned

that she has an uncle in the police force.

“Mr. Reed Senior, you have such a wide network. Even after your retirement, your reputation remains. So, wherever you go, people will give you the green light.
“It’s unlike Dulcie, who was bullied by your granddaughter. Until now, her family has not, with all certainty,
seen her remains.”
Wynter stepped forward. “Mr. Reed Senior, please tell me how the school could burn the body to ashes. without any consent from the family.
“Where is Dulcie’s autopsy report? And where are the police records for that day?”
“T–This, I am not sure.” Thomas took two steps back. When he recovered, he protested, “Ms. Quinnell, my granddaughter is bad–tempered.
“No matter how much her grandmother and I try to control her, she is still like this. She doesn’t understand the severity of things.
“She did not like being friends with Dulcie, and her actions were extreme. I will educate her properly.”
Thomas assured her, “Whatever conditions the victim’s family wishes to put forward, the Reeds can make
it happen.”
“Conditions?” asked Wynter, raising an eyebrow.
Because of that, Thomas thought there was a chance. “I remember Dulcie’s father has retired from the army. Is that right?
“And his leg is injured, so certain work is difficult for him. We can compensate for that. Her mother, too,
the Reeds could also-”
“This shouldn’t be the first time that Mr. Reed Senior has done something like this.” Wynter chuckled. You are thinking of using money to silence the Wilsons.”
Hailey held her red cheek and could not bear it anymore. “We are expressing our gratitude. They are already poor, so we are giving them money and stopping them from troubling us.
“Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone? Why are you pretending to be noble on the Wilsons‘ behalf?”
