Chapter 257


    Chapter 257 Announcing the Divorce


    Upon entering the police station, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. This hurdle was over.


    Considering that the police still needed to deal with the Hinton family outside, I, being in the station,


    naturally couldn’t interfere.


    Because I knew what wasing next, all I could do was let them proceed and patiently wait.


    That night, I didn’t sleep a wink.


    The next morning, Captain Lucas arrived very early. Upon seeing him, I couldn’t help but ask, “Captain


    Lucas, what’s the situation outside


    now?”


    Captain Lucas shook his head slightly, looking at me and said, “The situation at the police station is


    okay. The reporters didn’t find you outside, and someone from the police department privately informed


    them that you were indeed in the police station. So, the reporters outside have already withdrawn.


    However, things might not be so good with the Hinton Group and the Conner Group. The rumors about


    you murdering and hiding bodies are getting worse. So far, Henry’s autopsy hasn’t found any strong


    evidence to prove that you are not the murderer. Therefore, if we can’t find strong evidence, even if we


    release you due to insufficient evidence, both the police station and the Hinton family, as well as you,


    will be under severe attack. As for the Conner Group, you should know better than me, you might not


    be able to stand anymore.”


    I felt suffocated in my heart, how could I not know the consequences? Not to mention that the Conner


    Group had just started to recover, now with this mess, I’m afraid even if I had three heads and six arms,


    I


    couldn’t handle it. Instead, I might drag the Hinton family down with


    1.


    There was nopelling evidence to be found regarding Henry’s death, and I couldn’t prove my


    innocence either. This matter seemed to have reached aplete deadlock in an instant.


    After a moment of silence, I looked at Captain Lucas and said, “Can I contact people outside? I have


    some things to exin.”


    Hearing me say this, Captain Lucas spoke up, “Is it Mr. Hinton?”


    I shook my head, continuing, “Not him, it’s the people from the Conner Group. Can you help me get in


    touch? I’d like to meet them.”


    Hearing this, Captain Lucas nodded and agreed.


    At noon, I finally got my wish and met Cory.


    In just one night, Cory’s hair had grown a bit. Seeing me, he quickly spoke up, “Miss, what on earth is


    going on? How did we get involved in a murder and body hiding situation?”


    I hadn’t told him about many things in the past, but now that Alexander was gone, I had no choice but


    to tell him everything.


    After listening, he said angrily, “The Conner family really raised an ungrateful wretch. Your father didn’t


    let her into the Conner Group back then, it seems he was thoughtful.”


    I gradually realizedter that my father was wary of Ashley. Ashley had not interned at the Conner


    Group for many years after graduation, –and she had not handled any affairs rted to the Conner


    Group. At


    that time, I thought it was because my father loved her and didn’t want her to suffer. Now it seems that


    my father probably had reservations about her early on.


    These things, they have all passed now.


    I sighed slightly, looking at Cory, I said, “Cory, you’ve seen the situation now, the Conner Group may


    not be able to hold on any longer. Once I’m convicted of murder, the Conner Group will definitely not be


    able to continue. I know, the Conner Group is what my father worked hard for most of his life, I’m sorry


    that I don’t have the ability to protect it.”


    Looking at me, Cory was also helpless, saying, “Don’t me yourself for this. Someone deliberately


    wanted to harm you. Besides, the Conner Group was already on the verge of copse. If it weren’t for


    the funds you were suspected of embezzling, it probably wouldn’t havested until now. You’ve done


    your best.”


    Having said so much, I took a deep breath, looked at him and said, “Cory, I asked you toe today


    because I want you to help me with something.”


    With a serious expression, Cory said, “Tell me, what needs to be done, I’ll handle it.”


    “Find a major media outlet and announce that Walter and I have

    divorced,” I said. “The divorce agreement is in the drawer of my office. You can take it out, take a


    picture and provide it to the media.” After that, I continued, “Try to disassociate me from the Hinton


    family as much as possible.”


    Cory paused, confused, “Why? At a time like this, with the protection. of the Hinton family, you could at


    least be safe in the police station, maybe even hold out until the truth is revealed. Isn’t announcing it


    now like sentencing yourself to death?”


    Knowing that Cory was considering my feelings, I looked at him and smiled, “The impact on the Hinton


    family has already been significant. Besides, I have indeed divorced him. Now, it’s just about revealing


    the


    truth. There’s absolutely no need for the Hinton family to be dragged down by me at this point.”
