Chapter 1230 Starting with Her Parents

Once these comments solidified, the truth and resolution of Vanessa’s case would never come to light.

In the past, such public opinion would create immense pressure on the investigation, which would make some inquiries difficult to conduct.

However, in a short time, Wynter had uncovered issues in Club Solstice’s operational mode. She even discovered a whole chain of criminals behind this case who were actively committing crimes and providing cover.

As a result, the case confidentiality was elevated to the highest level.

This seemingly simple case of a girl jumping off a building unveiled a massive corruption and collusion scandal involving officials and businessmen.

Not only was the Special Unit on its way, but even the International Criminal Court was prepared.

Meanwhile, the public opinion achestrated by the perpetrators continued to

ferment.

Kenton was only interested in the results.

The efficiency of Adrien Meyer, Kenton’s secretary, was impressive. “Mr. Wray, we’ve located Vanessa Chadwick’s family. They are on their way to Hawford.”

“Did they agree to the conditions?” Kenton asked as he fastened his cufflinks.

Adrien nodded. “They agreed. They’ve seen the comments online.

“Although they are heartbroken over their daughter’s death, they also feel ashamed. After all, they come from a small town. It’s said that the neighbors are quite curious about their family.

“The elderly couple’s lives have been affected because of this. When the police went to pick them up, Vanessa’s father didn’t bring anything with him and simply got in the car.”

“Raising a daughter like that… If it were me, I wouldn’t want to acknowledge her, either.” Kenton sighed dramatically as he adjusted his tie in front of the mirror. “It’s better to take the money and have a comfortable retirement.

“Make sure everything goes smoothly. When the couple arrives in Hawford, I want reporters there. And as usual, don’t use our people.”

“Understood.” Adrien nodded.

Adrien was about to leave when Kenton was reminded of something. “What’s my sister up to lately?”

“Ms. Wray? She’s probably busy with the club.”

Kenton’s expression turned contemptuous upon hearing Adrien’s words. “How many times have I told her? Her priority should be strengthening ties with the Whitmans.

“She’s really all brawn and no brains. She couldn’t compete with Marie back in her school days and is still as stupid as ever.”

Adrien remained silent. After all, he shouldn’t comment on his employer’s family. But he had to admit, some of Lynette’s actions were indeed baffling.

Lynette had been married before to someone within the constitution. The Wray family arranged the marriage to facilitate land acquisition for their projects.

However, after the wedding, Lynette looked down on her husband, considering him a man who worked a dead–end job.

Despite the benefits to the Wrays, she felt that he was of no use anymore. Compared to others, her marriage was like a tomb.

A proper divorce would have been acceptable if that was what she felt about her marriage. But she continued relentlessly humiliating her husband. She took advantage of the influence the Wrays had and disregarded everything.

Her actions infuriated her in–laws to the point of hospitalization, and she even brought a male escort into their home. Naturally, her husband’s family was outraged and demanded that Kenton take Lynette away.

It was only because of the Wray family’s rising influence that her ex–husband remained silent and quietly finalized the divorce. He made it clear they didn’t want any future disturbances to their elderly family members.

Lynette didn’t take it seriously initially. To her, she had finally rid herself of a useless husband, who had been a humiliation and an obstacle to her romantic prospects.
