They lurked in the shadows like rats, spying on a bright world. Countless families had their happiness destroyed by their actions.
Since those criminals had finally been caught, they deserved the harshest penalties.
They were monsters who deserved zero sympathy.
With the old woman taken away, the lobby gradually quieted down.
The nurses maintaining order dispersed the crowd.
Chief Mahoney, dressed in civilian clothes, approached Camilla at a measured pace. "We will handle Zack's family appropriately. They won't bother you anymore. But Camilla, there is something I need to tell you.
"Barnard escaped.
"He cleared out all of The Williams Group's cash and vanished without a trace.
"You were close to him. Do you have any idea where he might have run off to?"
Zack's arrest meant the trap Barnard had set up was blown wide open. He definitely couldn't stay at The Williams Group anymore, but Camilla hadn't expected him to slip past the police.
Camilla thought carefully and shook her head. "I know about his past associates, but none of them would dare take him in.
"And given his current situation, if he managed to evade your surveillance, he definitely didn't use any conventional methods. I really don't have a clue."
During her five-year marriage to Barnard, she had always carefully played the role of the perfect Mrs. Carter. Everything she knew about the Carter family was just what they presented on the surface.
In those five years, she hadn't even heard that Calvin had ties to Zachary in Valdoria.
As for Barnard's current whereabouts, she was even more...
Wait!
Something suddenly clicked for Camilla. "A remote fishing village. He definitely wouldn't dare go through customs or take a plane. Mahoney, check the isolated coastal villages. He might hire a private boat to escape."
Back when Barnard was helping Clement run live experiments, he had considered using the small fishing villages as a starting point.
Now that he couldn't use public transportation, those remote areas would serve as his natural cover.
Chief Mahoney nodded. "That makes sense. I'll deploy teams to search right now.
"Camilla, that man has committed countless crimes. He's deeply twisted, and he still has an obsession with you.
