Chapter 077 Render Good for Evil
On their way to the office, Chris updated Hailey about Andy’s situation. In the police station, those people had confessed before they were even interrogated. Happy to see the police officers, they would rather stay in prison for the rest of their lives than meet Hailey again. That woman was a terror.
The policemen were confused. At first, they had regarded those punks as victims. They were the injured ones after all. After hearing their confession, the police officers figured out the situation. Turned out these punks had intended to hit people but got hit. The police officers had thought it was Old K and others who did it. Just as they were about to voice against torture, those punks claimed in unison that they
had been hit by a woman, and she had no helpers. It was a disgrace but the truth. They had been staying in the underworld for a long time, not expecting to fall victim to a woman one day. Since witnesses and evidence were all there, the culprits were arrested and detained at night for mayhem and plotting homicide. “That bastard can’t be called a man. Andy put all the blame on Maureen,
claiming that she hired thugs in his name without telling him and that it has nothing to do with him.” As a man, Chris scoffed at Andy’s action. “What a jerk!” Ava was full of indignation, “What about Maureen? What did she

charge, he would definitely hold a grudge and take revenge on you. What should we do?” Hailey had listened to their conversation without any comment. As Ava asked,
she replied indifferently, “Don’t worry about it. He won’t be released so easily. Even if he’s acquitted of a charge, he can’t harm me. You overestimated him.” Not to mention Andy, even Shawn was nothing in her eyes. The father and son were just small potatoes.
They arrived at the office building of Crystaldale, only to see Shawn waiting anxiously in the lobby. At the sight of Hailey, the man rushed over but got intercepted by the security guards. “Ms. Newman…” Shawn’s arms were caught. He shouted anxiously, “Ms. Newman, I mean you no harm. I just hope you’ll have mercy and spare my
