Chapter 197 Retribution Margaret continued, "I know how bad things could get once you get a case against you. Something like that will haunt Wynter forever.

"She's still young, and she's just ea? like this." medical studies. I can't have her prospects go down the drain It was because Wanda knew this that she could unabashedly blackmail Margaret.

She was confident that Margaret would sign over the live-streaming channel to her, especially if it concerned Wynter's future.

"Where do I sign?” Margaret asked.

Wanda beamed as she guided Margaret to the relevant sections. "Over her finished signing, stamp your thumbprint here." and here. Once you've "And how can you be sure that Wynter will get out of this unscathed?" Margaret was Will using the Yates' nbe enough? "What power do the Yates family have in Southdale when they're in Kingbourne?" Hearing this, Wanda silently cursed Margaret's sharpness.

cautious about this.

"Well, naturally, there's more work to be done than simply dropping the Yates' name," she drawled arrogantly. "I know someone who works in the precinct. Captain Weissman is a friend of mine." As she said this, she pulled up Adam's contact to show Margaret. "I'll call him and have him release Wynter after you sign the agreement." As long as Wanda could get her hands on the channel, everything else could be negotiated.

That said, Wanda wasn't known for her generosity or compassion. She knew it wouldn't make a difference to Wynter's prospects even if Wynter were to be released from interrogation.

Without the live-streaming channel, Wynter would go back to being a poor nobody.

Just as Wanda was reveling in her deviousness, Margaret went quiet at.

ention of Captain Weissman.

If things truly were as serious as Wanda made them out to be, Margaret doubted a mere police captain had the power to settle them.

Margaret recalled what Wynter said to her before the latter was taken away for questioning.

"If anyone comes up to you and blackmails you, ignore them," Wynter had said..

At the thought of this, Margaret set the pen down and pretended to be in a dilemma. “I'll need stto consider..." "Consider?" Wanda was incredulous. "Mom, need I remind you that there'll be no retracting Wynter's case after 24 hours?" " Margaret's fingers interlaced. "I can't sign the agreement now." Wanda knew that she was better off not pushing Margaret's limits. "It's 5:00 pm now. You have three hours to consider.

"If you don't sign the agreement by 8:00 pm, then you'll hear from the police that they'll proceed with the charges against Wynter." With that, Wanda left the house.

She knew Margaret had to be smart enough to figure things out by now.

Wanda would have the final say on whether or not Wynter's charges would be dropped.

She was confident about this. However, she never anticipated the new City Bureau Secretary would be arrested alongside Wynter.

Meanwhile, inside the interrogation room, Adam kept his explanation as vague as possible.

He couldn't tell the truth since it was unfavorable to him. As such, he tried to lie his way out of it and never mentioned Wanda's name.

Unfortunately for him, Wynter was also in the interrogation room.

She was toying with the purple sugilite pendant she wore while nonchalantly listening to Adam's testament.

She waited until Adam stopped talking.

Just as he thought he had a successfully lied his way out of this mess, Wynter said, "I noticed that you have a rather sweet fragrance on you, Captain Weissman. Normally, only young ladies under the age of 25 would use that particular brand of fragrance.

"I also noticed when you cin that your belt was undone, but your shirt was buttoned up all the way. I took a second look and with my very keen eyesight caught your hickey." She paused before asking slowly, "Where were you on a weekday instead of working your day job, Captain Weissman?" She had not meant this as a question. She was insinuating that she knew Adam had never felt fear like this before, and his gaze flickered.

Wynter's smile was humorless.

"Truth plays an important partin interrogation, don't you think? It can even stand as a mitigating factor.

"Things like cash flow could be traced with a little bit of investigation. Don't you think so, Mr. Fisher?"
