She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 364

The moment they heard the words *"shady driver,"* all the color drained from the family's faces.

Hulda's heart violently seized in her chest, her breathing turning shallow and heavy.

Officer Coleman continued, "After the boy snuck out of his house at 2 AM, he flagged down a scammer on the road. The guy drove him all the way out to the suburbs, then robbed the kid blind—taking all his cash, his phone, and his smartwatch."

"The guy was street-smart. He knew the smartwatch had a built-in GPS tracker, so instead of keeping it, he chucked it down a storm drain. As for the phone, he wiped it and immediately sold it off on the black market. He blew whatever cash the kid had on gambling within hours."

Coleman's rundown sent a deep chill through everyone listening.

The driver who had picked up Miles was a degenerate gambler. And judging by how efficiently he had disposed of the tech, he was clearly an experienced criminal.

"Did you catch the bastard?" Herbert demanded.

Coleman nodded. "We got him. He confessed to everything, so you don't need to worry about that. As for why Miles ran away in the first place... we managed to pry some details out of the guy."

Coleman paused, his gaze shifting toward Hulda for a second before he went on. "According to the driver, when he picked Miles up, the kid was sobbing uncontrollably. He said he was trying to find his mom. He said his mom was mad and ignoring him, and that she wouldn't reply to any of the messages he left her."

The moment he finished, Coleman's eyes landed squarely back on Hulda.

It wasn't just the officer; every single person in the hallway was now staring directly at her.
