Chapter 331
A reply came from Victoria immediately – The old man didn’t tell me why, but he’s all smiles. I’ll feel it out when the opportunity arises and let you know as soon as I discover something.
I replied with a single word: ‘Fine’. Victoria wouldn’t be able to give me the answer anytime soon, but I was feeling a little impatient, impatient to know why. Looks like I need someone to do discreet investigations to find out exactly why Robin was arrested.
As I was thinking about this, my dad suddenly remarked, “Lily, you look troubled.”
“No, I’m not worried.” I flashed him a smile. Abruptly recalling my father’s vast connections, I asked, “Dad, do you have any acquaintances in the police?”
“Yes. Chief Lawson and I have been friends for many years. Why are you asking?”
“My friend’s brother was arrested today so I would just like to know why.”
“I’ll help you ask. Oh yeah, what’s your friend’s brother’s name?”
“Robin Hamilton,” I replied.
My father then immediately called Chief Lawson. “Lawson, I wanted to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Chief Lawson asked in an incredibly kind voice.
“Did your people arrest someone named Robin Hamilton today?”
“Wait a moment, I’ll ask before I get back to you.” A few minutes later Chief Lawson came back on the phone. “There is indeed a person who was just arrested today.”
“What offense has he committed?”
“Someone reported him for rape.” Chief Lawson was frank with my father. “Hawkins, what is your relationship to this Robin Hamilton?”
“I do not know him. Someone just asked me to help him ask about him.”
“I understand. Hawkins, we’ve known each other for many years, so I’ll be honest with you. Robin Hamilton’s case is very serious. He used drugs and committed rape. The woman was full of wounds, and his semen was also found inside her body. The evidence is conclusive, so it’s impossible to overturn the verdict. I’m telling you frankly that there’s nothing I can do if you want to go in the back door and make me pull some strings.
“I understood. Don’t worry. I will not put you in a difficult position.”
My dad then reached out to me after hanging up the phone. “You’ve heard everything, yes?”
“Yes,” I nodded.
“Why is your friend’s brother so reprobate? Not enough drugs, he even committed rape. Keep your distance. of such a person. I don’t want my daughter to stray from the path.”
“I know, Dad. Don’t worry. I will not stray from the path.”
“That’s why.”
way,
Chief Lawson said that this matter is already conclusive. There are no two ways about this, so don’t get caught up in
“Don’t worry. I was just asking. A crime must be judged by the law, so I will not get involved in that.” Seeing that I responded promptly and didn’t seem superficial, my father went back to his documents.

Meanwhile, my mind was buzzing wildly. This must be Carson’s doing! He really is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This b*stard is extremely relentless! These two crimes – taking drugs and committing rape – are not trivial matters, regardless of the identity of the perpetrator, let alone Robin, who is still a student. Carson must have done this to ruin him.
Subsequently, Jolene came to mind. I wonder how she reacted when she found out that her brother had been arrested. She must have panicked and sought someone’s help. And I think the first person she thought of must have been Carson, no? She must be anxious for him to figure out a way to save her brother, but she doesn’t know he’s responsible for all of this. I wonder how she will feel when she finds out that he is the mastermind of this matter. If it weren’t for the fact that I still have a plan, I can’t wait to tell her the truth.
I was walking on clouds the entire afternoon. When I went home with my dad at night, I ate a huge bowl of rice and even had two bowls of soup, since I was in such a good mood. Having eaten too much, I took a walk around the garden with my parents when Victoria called around 7pm.
I excused myself to take the call, after which her low voice came out of the phone. “Lily, the old man just told me that Jolene’s brother was arrested for taking drugs and committing rape.”
However, I wasn’t surprised since I heard about it. “What is Jolene doing now?”
