Chapter 819
Chapter 819 Questioning the Police
Everyone fell silent as Brendan scanned around the crowd with an oppressive gaze. The man who
shouted just now did not make any noise anymore. Brendan nced at Sam, and thetter nodded
before leaving the crowd.
Seizing the chance, a reporter asked, “Mr. Brighthall, you said the whole incident is pure nder, but
why did we all see you leaving the grocery store with Charlene this morning? Could it be fake? There is
no way that someone would fake a picture like that, right?”
“If it isn’t real, then who has the guts to defame the CEO of the Brighthall Group? Are they not worried
about being sent to prison?”
“Charlene had hit and killed someone. She should be serving her sentence in prison, but now she has
appeared in front of everyone as if nothing has happened. All of us saw it with our own eyes. Do you
think it’s still fake?”
“Mr. Brighthall, is it because the Brighthall Group is so powerful in Neven that you think you can
disregard thew or abuse thew to get your ex- wife out of prison? Have you ever thought about the
feelings of the victim’s family? If your ex-wife does the same thing and continues to hurt other people,
will she be exempted from her crime as well without having to pay any price?”
“Never twice without three times. The fact that your ex-wife can injure a pedestrian today means that
she may injure one of us here in the future when she goes crazy again. When that happens, are we
supposed to watch our loved ones die and not be able to do anything about it, or even punish the
person who started it all like the family of that victim?”
Thest reporter was clearly inciting rage among the crowd. Soon, the crowd was agitated again as
they all shouted, demanding Charlene toe forward and exin everything.
The scene began to get out of hand again. Brendan looked at them calmly as if he was watching a
farce. After that, he nced at the smug reporter and asked, “If you say I disregard or abuse thew,
does it not mean that you’re questioning the police as well?” ‘That’s not…”
The reporter was stunned. He did not expect a retaliation like this from Brendan, and his face turned
pale. ‘That’s not what I meant. I was just saying that you might have taken advantage of some
loopholes in thew and-” “Okay, I get it now. So, you’re questioning the capability of the police in
Neve. You think that they didn’t do a good job protecting Neve and released a murderer back to the
public, right?”
The reporter was stumped.
Brendan let out a cold smirk, adjusted the microphone, and looked straight toward the camera. “About
whether I colluded with the police to release a criminal back to the public, I can tell you that I didn’t do
it. The woman in the photo photographed this morning is actually my ex-wife’s cousin, and her name is
Deirdre McKinnon. They look alike, but they’re different people. You all can look at the information on
the screen.”
Brendan turned his face sideways, and Deirdre’s information appeared on the big screen behind him.
This proved that she and Charlene were two different people.
‘This is something the police have verified. As for whether I havepensated the victim’s parents, I
think it’s better for them to say it themselves.”
Soon, a middle-aged couple appeared on the stage, took over the microphone nervously, and said,
“We didn’t want to talk about my daughter’s passing, but we felt that we shoulde forward and help
Mr. Brighthall clear the misunderstanding.
“Over the years, Mr. Brighthall has taken great care of us both in our careers and in our daily lives, and
he has helped us in any way he could whenever we asked. Not only that, but he’ll pay us a visit during
the festive seasons. He haspensated us a lot. We didn’t expect him to care so much about us, but
he did. He’s a good man, and Miss McKinnon isn’t the one who killed my daughter. I hope all of you
can stop ming Mr. Brighthall and Miss McKinnon.”All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
