Chapter 94 Returning the Favor in Kind
After coming down from the rooftop, Wynette and Adriel ran into Gavin, who had just finished cooperating with the investigation.
With a sour look on his face, Gavin walked up to the two of them and muttered, “What rotten luck.”

Thankfully, no one had died today. Otherwise, once he got home, his old man would probably beat him half to death.
Hearing his complaint, Wynette looked at him apologetically. “Sorry, I didn’t know things would turn
out…”
“Ah, lit…” The words ‘little sister–in–law‘ nearly slipped out of Gavin’s mouth, only to be forcefully swallowed back down under Adriel’s warning glare.
Wynette looked at him in confusion.
What had he just said?
Gavin immediately plastered on an awkward grin. “I mean, seriously, what a joke. It has nothing to do with you, so why are you apologizing to me? I’m just disgusted by those two idiots.”
He had forcibly twisted ‘little sister–in–law‘ into ‘what a joke!
Wynette hadn’t heard him clearly the first time, and after hearing his explanation, the doubt in her heart faded.
Looking at the goofy smile on his face, she replied softly, “Still, it all started because of me.”
The moment Gavin heard that, he quickly waved it off with a grin. “But you’re the victim too. After watching this whole drama unfold today, I’m honestly even more relieved that you cut ties completely with that scumbag from the Shepherds. It’s terrifying. And Lorelei’s a complete lunatic too.”
As though suddenly remembering something, Gavin pulled out his phone. “Oh, right. I happen to have evidence that Lorelei forged her medical records. Give me your number, and I’ll send it to you.”
Sometimes things really did line up perfectly.
The doctor who had helped Lorelei fake the medical report used to work at a hospital under the Holloway Group, but he’d been fired after getting caught up in some scandal.
Later, the doctor opened a small private clinic, and Lorelei paid him one hundred thousand dollars to forge the records.
What was even more ridiculous was that the medical forms he used had actually been stolen from one of Holloway Group’s hospitals.
Meanwhile, Gavin was already preparing to hold the doctor accountable, legally.
The man panicked under pressure and spilled everything about Lorelei.

As Wynette listened, she was just about to pull up her QR code so he could scan and add her number into his phonebook.
Adriel suddenly cleared his throat. “Send it to me instead. I’m taking Wynette to the police station right now. We can submit it directly as evidence.”
The moment he spoke, Gavin’s plan to get Wynette’s phone number was mercilessly cut short.
Wynette thought about it and felt Adriel had a point.
Smiling, she said to Gavin, “That works too.”
No, it absolutely doesn’t!
Gavin howled internally. Did they really think I wanted to provide evidence?!
That was just a cover. A sham! A complete sham!
What he actually wanted was to successfully become one of the people in Wynette’s friends list.
Gavin had already decided that currying favor with Wynette was the crucial first step he had to take to avoid being endlessly exploited by Adriel in the future.
Now, as he watched Wynette put her phone away, his heart shattered into pieces.
Casting a deeply resentful glance at Adriel, Gavin replied gloomily, “Fine. I’ll send it to you later.”
If not for the unfortunate fact that he couldn’t win in a fight, he genuinely wanted to punch Adriel right
now.
What should I do?
I really want to beat up my best friend.
Any solutions?
Answers needed. Urgent!
In the end, Gavin reluctantly abandoned the thought.
He had no desire to get crushed one–sidedly by Adriel.
Adriel glanced at Wynette, signaling for her to head out first.
Once they got into the car, he asked, “You really wanted to go to the police station?”
“Yes.” Wynette fastened her seatbelt and smiled. “Did you think I was bluffing Payton?”
Hadn’t I made myself obvious enough earlier?
Adriel started the car. “Why though?”
He believed Wynette definitely had her reasons.

That was one of the many reasons.
Another reason was…
Adriel’s brows furrowed slightly. Did it mean Wynette herself had once been belittled and verbally attacked constantly by the Shepherds too?

The panic and guilt in Payton’s eyes earlier had already given Wynette her answer.
Payton must have known about what happened to Lorelei back then, and she had participated in it too.
Hadn’t the Shepherds, and Payton especially, always enjoyed making life miserable for her?
Now Wynette was simply returning the favor in kind.
If they won’t let her live peacefully, then the Shepherds shouldn’t expect peace either.
Did they really think she was the easy target they could push around however they pleased?
And that wasn’t all, Wynette was continuing her investigation into Payton. She needed to make preparations ahead of time.
After hearing her words, Adriel smiled as well. “Well done.”
Without hesitation, he transformed into her personal cheering squad, praising her brilliant strategy.
The emotional support was so perfectly timed that Wynette’s good mood soared even higher.
Payton had wanted to use Lorelei to drag Wynette into the mud while conveniently clear Noah’s reputation as a scumbag.
Naturally, Wynette didn’t mind turning the situation against them instead. Using Lorelei to make the Shepherds look even worse the more they tried to explain themselves.
Now it was simply a matter of seeing who could outplay whom.
After arriving at the police station, Wynette fully cooperated with the investigation. She firmly insisted on suing Lorelei for defamation, repeatedly emphasizing that all she wanted was her innocence restored and asking the police to investigate thoroughly.
On top of that, Adriel had already arranged everything on the way there.
Soon, news of Lorelei’s suicide attempt began spreading online.
The bullying and abuse Lorelei had suffered years ago had also been revealed.
By the time Wynette returned home, the internet was already flooded with trending topics related to the Shepherds. Watching the endless hot searches one after another, a satisfied smile slowly appeared on her lips.
This was only the beginning.
She had plenty of time ahead of her to play with the Shepherds… nice and slowly.
