At this moment, Dylan Summers had resolved his worries, and he was in a great mood.
Rather than being concerned about Lauraâs future, he was more concerned about his own reputation. After all, his daughter would eventually get married, and he didnât really care what kind of education she received.
Having children from prestigious schools indeed added to his prestige, but now that the scandal of cheating had occurred, some sacrifices were inevitable. Fortunately, he still had another daughter who was more motivated and sensible than Laura.
Life is full of ups and downs, and not everything can go oneâs way. Dylan considered himself lucky. Many people faced problems without anyone to turn to for help, yet with just a phone call, Director Jameson had solved his problem!
Dylan Summers was extremely pleased.
Of course, asking for help always came at a cost, and once Mrs. Jameson made her request, Dylan readily agreed.
âYouâve helped me so much. If there is anything I can help you with, Iâll be more than happy to oblige!â
Mrs. Jameson glanced at the direction of the screen, and said calmly: âI believe Mr. Summers is aware of the incident involving my son Henry before, and how Mr. Jefferson and Officer Jackson helped clear his name.â
Dylan Saunders nodded in agreement: âMr. Jefferson is a talented young lawyer, and Officer Jackson is an exemplary police officer who is dedicated to his job.â
âOfficer Jackson and Suzanne Saunders are good friends. Suzanneâs accident has taken a toll on her, and she has been investigating since the incident. She recently found some cluesâ¦â
Mrs. Jamesonâs voice trailed off as she took a measured look at Dylan.
With a composed demeanor, Dylan didnât show any signs of abnormality. Upon hearing this, he only asked in surprise, âWhat clues have been found? Was Suzanneâs death not an accident?â
Mrs. Jameson smiled slightly and said discreetly, âIâm just a messenger, and Iâm not sure about the specific details. However, Officer Jackson mentioned that Mr. Summers seemed to have gone to the bow of the ship at the time of the incident. If Mr. Summers did anything, or⦠saw anything, it might be helpful to the investigation if he would come forward.â
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Jameson quietly watched Dylan, her smile elegant.
Dylan mulled things over and understood.
If the questioning were ordinary, Aria Jackson could directly approach Dylan for information. After all, assisting the police is a citizenâs duty.
Yet Aria Jackson had turned to the Jameson Familyâ¦
It meant that if Dylanâs answer couldnât satisfy Aria, Mrs. Jameson wouldnât help him with Lauraâs problem.
By then, Laura would still be expelled and criticized, and he, as a father, would be subject to ridicule and a ruined reputation!
Dylan was silent.
There was no surveillance camera around the yacht, and the party was chaotic and noisy. He went to the bow without being noticed by anyone. How could Aria know?
Dylan didnât respond immediately, and Mrs. Jameson didnât rush him. She picked up her Ru porcelain cup and sipped her tea elegantly, her face calm and seemingly indifferent to the final outcome.
In an instant, the cloud of gloom swept over Dylan, and his face darkened.
He believed the price to pay would only be gifts and money, but never expected to be tricked into divulging his actions!
If he admitted it, he would be entangled in the homicide case.
If he denied it, his daughter would be expelled!
The reception room was silent, with delicate daffodils on the table quietly stretching their leaves and branches.
After much contemplation, Dylan finally made up his mind.
âI did go to the bow of the ship, but it was out of goodwill,â Dylan said solemnly, âI saw someone drug Suzanne and went to the bow fearing she might be in danger. But when I got there, I didnât see anybody, so I returned the way Iâd come.. I didnât do anything!â
