Chapter 195 Exposing the Crooks
The middle–aged woman was shaking at this point. When she was hired to play the victim, she hadn’t been told that a deputy mayor or a Secretary–General would be involved.
She might not be well–educated enough to understand what a deputy mayor or a Secretary- General did, but she was no fool.
The two men who had come in earlier must be important if Adam nearly prostrated at the sight of them.
As such, the middle–aged woman thought it was best to sneak out quietly while the others were bickering.
However, Wynter was blocking the door. The middle–aged woman wasn’t sure if Wynter was doing this on purpose, but she shot the latter a dark look anyway.
Wynter said with a smile, “Mr. Grayson, since the complainant is here with us, perhaps you could interrogate us alongside Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Keller.”
Fear struck Jerome when he heard Wynter’s suggestion. His dirty secrets could be exposed if he were to carry out the interrogation with Otis and Lucas.
Lucas glanced at Jerome frigidly. He then turned to Otis and asked, “What do you think, Mr. Buchanan?”
He wanted to see how bad the corruption was in Southdale, and the answer depended on Otis
‘reaction.
Otis the portrait of fairness and justice as he said, “We’ll interrogate them together!”
On the contrary, Jerome smiled at Wynter as he placated her, “Don’t worry, young lady. I can handle the interrogation on my own. I’ll see to it that you get the justice you deserve.
We ought to give Mr. Keller a break. It’s the man’s first day on the job and already he’s roped
into this mess.
“I’ll have them drop the charges against you. I won’t let these crooks get away with this!”
“Mr. Grayson,” Wynter said slowly. “Mr. Keller happens to be one of the accused, though his charges are different from mine.
“You might not know this, but 100 thousand viewers were watching my livestream at the time I was arrested. That’s 100 thousand people who think I killed one of my patients.”
Wynter grabbed the middle–aged woman by her sleeve and made an upward tug. “According

to this woman, her grandson ran a high fever after taking the medicine I prescribed.”
She kept her voice clear and devoid of emotion as she said, “I asked to have her identity verified. I’m no expert, but I do have some online sleuthing skills. Captain Weissman, don’t you find her familiar?”
Adam blanched. He had been so desperate for a chance to explain himself that he failed to realize Wynter was setting up a trap for him.
Wynter continued, “Helena Weissman, born in 1977. She was originally from Havenlight County but has no permanent address on record.
“She also happens to be a well–known fraudster and a frequent visitor here at the precinct.”
Her grin widened as she asked the middle–aged woman, “Ma’am, would you mind taking us to see your grandson? Where is he anyway?”
With her identity exposed, Helena cried out, “Adam, help me! I’m your aunt!”
She reached out to none other than Adam, a gesture that changed the nature of the entire
case.
Everyone present was perceptive enough to understand what was going on here. No elaboration was needed from Wynter for them to connect the dots.
If Lucas thought the police were dirty before, he now shuddered at how dark this situation was turning out to be.
“Adam!” Lucas ground out. “You abused your position to do something like this? You ought to die for allowing your fraudster of a relative to frame an innocent civilian!”
Dom realized as well that this case went beyond harassment. It was pre–meditated, which meant someone was colluding with Adam to put Wynter behind bars.
Dom dared not imagine what might have become of Wynter had he and Lucas not been here
today.
Wynter was young, and she had yet to take her university entrance exams.
She only set up a live–streaming channel to make ends meet so she could take care of All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Margaret.
He concluded that these rascals who framed her were jealous of her success. They were so inhumane that they were no better than vermin.
Dom looked at Adam, then at Jerome. “I’ll be reporting this to my superior. Mr. Keller will thoroughly investigate this case. He’ll also be looking into the entire system.”
Exposing the Choks
The shock that came from this statement was palpable.
Adam wouldn’t be the only one suffering after this; Jerome was as good as dead too.
One reaped what one had sown. It was unfortunate that Adam and Jerome took so long to understand this saying.
Adam, in particular, wished he could kick himself for taking Wanda’s money in the first place.
He secretly cursed Wanda for misinforming him. She had told him that Wynter came from a humble background,
Meanwhile, Wanda was oblivious to everything that was happening at the Ravenwood police precinct.
Seated inside Empathy Clinic, she said smugly to Margaret, “Think about it carefully, Mom. Is this live– streaming channel more important than your granddaughter?”
