Chapter 336


    Chapter 336 Still Got Exposed


    Without looking back, I acknowledged the two of them and got into a taxi waiting for passengers by the


    roadside. I gave the address and headed straight for the Conner’s ce.


    The Conner’s ce.


    My mother was watching a drama in the living room. Hearing a noise, she nced at me and


    you’re out all night. What, you don’t like this house anymore?”


    Having changed my shoes and listening to my mother’s nagging, I sat down next to her andughed,


    “Mom, what are you talking about? I’ve been too busy with work recently, and there were too many


    things. piled up from the past few days that I had to deal with. Otherwise, with my stupid brain, the little


    assets you and dad left behind wouldn’tst. long before I squandered them all.”


    She snorted, her temper clearly not the best, and said, “You better not be using work as an excuse.”


    I chuckled, joking around, “Really? Didn’t Alexandere backst night?”


    She gave me a disdainful nce, “You two weren’t together?”


    I shook my head, “No!”


    Mother paused for a moment, thought and said, “She might have gone to do something with that child,


    Marjorie.”


    Marjorie?

    I pursed my lips, feeling a bit curious, but didn’t ask much. Alexander seemed to have been spending a


    lot of time with Marjorie recently. Thest time I heard, they were investigating and subsidence issue.


    Logically, they should be investigating in Dracview, but now, somehow, they ended up in River City.


    Could it be…


    This matter. I dared not think too much about it, there was an indescribable blockage in my heart.

    For several days in a row, Walter had been bringing flowers of different styles, all of which were


    beautiful. Looking at the fresh flowers that upied most of the office, Alexander still couldn’t help but


    chatter, looking at me and asking, “Do you like flowers that much?”


    I pursed my lips, “Honestly, I used to really like flowers, but now… it’s hard to say.”


    Seeing me silent, Alexander said somewhat speechlessly, “Who told Mr. Hinton this terribly outdated


    way of pursuing? He couldn’t have only learned this one trick, could he?”


    Toozy to nag at him, I pursed my lips, raised an eyebrow at him, “What have you been busy with


    He paused, frowning, “Didn’t you see? I’m working, what else could I be busy with?”


    I pursed my lips, looking at him, and stopped talking.


    Seeing this, he slightly furrowed his brows and said, “Don’t look at me as if I’ve been having an affair.


    I’ve been investigating something recently.”

    Knowing what he was investigating, I paused and asked, “How’s the investigation going?”


    “Not so good.” He sighed, slumping in his chair and looking at me. “Tomorrow is Christmas, I heard it’s


    going to snow in River City. Do you have any ns?”


    Was it snowing?


    Recalling the flower Walter had mentioned to me before, I hesitated for a few seconds, looking at him


    and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “I made ns with Marjorie to spend time with the children at the welfare home. If you’re free, you can


    join us,” his voice was calm, revealing no particr emotion.


    I knew he spent most of his time at the welfare house, knew he


    asionally volunteered there. I hesitated for a few seconds, recalled Walter’s words, paused for a few


    seconds and said, “Not sure yet, we’ll see tomorrow.”


    He grunted, not in high spirits.


    Seeing him like this, I asked, “What’s wrong?”


    He pursed his lips and said lightly, “It’s nothing, just a bit tired. Oh, I’ve told Auntie Eileen, she’sing


    over tomorrow too.”


    I hummed in response, feeling that his mood was off.


    Curious inside, but didn’t continue to ask.


    When Cory came in and saw the two of us sitting in silence, he looked puzzled for a few seconds, then


    turned to me and said, “Something’s wrong.”


    Alexander and I simultaneously looked up at him, instinctively asking,

    “What’s wrong?”


    My uncle handed me the tablet in his hand, saying, “The news came out this morning, it was


    suppressed for the first few hours, but for some reason, it suddenly got pushed back onto the trending


    list.”


    Taking the tablet. I nced at the trending topics and felt a jolt in my heart.


    “The Hinton family despised human life and sphemed thew, these charges were not minor.”


    Alexander stood behind me with his arms. crossed, squinting his eyes and said. “Three cases all


    involved Mr. Hinton, it seems the situation is quite serious.”


    Didn’t Captain Lucas say that this matter wouldn’t be leaked? Howe it was exposed just a few


    dayster, almost directly pointing out that all these things were done by Walter?


    Seeing me silent for a long time, Alexander raised an eyebrow and said, “What’s wrong? Scared


    speechless?”


    I handed the tablet to Cory, pursed my lips, and said lightly, “Someone is targeting the Hinton family.”


    Alexander looked at me askance, crossing his arms and said, “No, haven’t you ever doubted him?


    Jacob is truly dead, this is no small matter!”
