Chapter 349

Captain Song's gaze sharpened like a blade as it locked onto the female reporter.

"The truth will be announced on our official website shortly," he stated calmly.

The reporter pressed on relentlessly. "Captain Song, Evelyn Roland was clearly the murderer. Why was she suddenly released? And picked up in a limited-edition luxury car..."

She deliberately trailed off, sending the live chat into chaos.

~Money can buy anything these days?

~What's wrong with this reporter? The officer already said the truth will come out.

A cold smirk curled Captain Song's lips.

"From the moment this broadcast started, you've been manipulating public opinion against Evelyn," he said icily. "You're now suspected of defamation. Cooperate with our investigation."

The reporter's face drained of color.

She'd only taken money to do this job—she never expected to be exposed.

"I didn't! I was just raising reasonable questions!" she insisted shakily.

Captain Song remained unmoved.

Two officers stepped forward and seized her arms.

Her legs gave out, collapsing beneath her.

The live chat exploded.

~She's definitely guilty!

~Look how she's trembling with fear.

~Someone's targeting Evelyn.

In her hospital room, Evelyn closed the live stream.

The mastermind still hadn't shown themselves, but she wasn't in a hurry.

The police department's official website soon released a statement.

The real culprit was a man who had confessed to the crime.

Evidence of the reporter taking bribes to smear Evelyn was also made public.

Public opinion flipped instantly.

The sound of shattering glass echoed through Isabella's apartment.

Furious, she smashed everything within reach.

Vincent Langley stared at his phone screen, his expression dark.

He'd arranged everything perfectly.

His phone rang. He answered.

"What happened, Dominic?" His voice was razor-sharp.

"Sebastian Orlando led the arrest," Dominic reported. "We could use this to move against the Orlandos."

Vincent scoffed. "Acting now would backfire."

His gaze fixed on the window, eyes glinting dangerously.

"I should've strangled that bitch years ago."

Dominic hesitated. "Mr. Shang suffered significant losses this time."

"Relax." Vincent's lips curled into a cold smile. "Do you really think he'd actually go to prison?"
