Chapter 192: A Kind Heart
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, Dylan Summers had resolved his worries, and he was in a great mood.
Rather than being concerned about Laura’s future, he was more concerned about his own reputation. After all, his daughter would eventually get married, and he didn’t really care what kind of education she received.
Having children from prestigious schools indeed added to his prestige, but now that the scandal of cheating had occurred, some sacrifices were inevitable. Fortunately, he still had another daughter who was more motivated and sensible than Laura.
Life is full of ups and downs, and not everything can go one’s way. Dylan considered himself lucky. Many people faced problems without anyone to turn to for help, yet with just a phone call, Director Jameson had solved his problem!
Dylan Summers was extremely pleased.
Of course, asking for help always came at a cost, and once Mrs. Jameson made her request, Dylan readily agreed.
“You’ve helped me so much. If there is anything I can help you with, I’ll be more than happy to oblige!”
Mrs. Jameson glanced at the direction of the screen, and said calmly: “I believe Mr. Summers is aware of the incident involving my son Henry before, and how Mr. Jefferson and Officer Jackson helped clear his name.”
Dylan Saunders nodded in agreement: “Mr. Jefferson is a talented young lawyer, and Officer Jackson is an exemplary police officer who is dedicated to his job.”
“Officer Jackson and Suzanne Saunders are good friends. Suzanne’s accident has taken a toll on her, and she has been investigating since the incident. She recently found some clues…”
Mrs. Jameson’s voice trailed off as she took a measured look at Dylan.
With a composed demeanor, Dylan didn’t show any signs of abnormality. Upon hearing this, he only asked in surprise, “What clues have been found? Was Suzanne’s death not an accident?”
Mrs. Jameson smiled slightly and said discreetly, “I’m just a messenger, and I’m not sure about the specific details. However, Officer Jackson mentioned that Mr. Summers seemed to have gone to the bow of the ship at the time of the incident. If Mr. Summers did anything, or… saw anything, it might be helpful to the investigation if he would come forward.”
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Jameson quietly watched Dylan, her smile elegant.
Dylan mulled things over and understood.
If the questioning were ordinary, Aria Jackson could directly approach Dylan for information. After all, assisting the police is a citizen’s duty.
Yet Aria Jackson had turned to the Jameson Family…
It meant that if Dylan’s answer couldn’t satisfy Aria, Mrs. Jameson wouldn’t help him with Laura’s problem.
By then, Laura would still be expelled and criticized, and he, as a father, would be subject to ridicule and a ruined reputation!
There was no surveillance camera around the yacht, and the party was chaotic and noisy. He went to the bow without being noticed by anyone. How could Aria know?
Dylan didn’t respond immediately, and Mrs. Jameson didn’t rush him. She picked up her Ru porcelain cup and sipped her tea elegantly, her face calm and seemingly indifferent to the final outcome.
In an instant, the cloud of gloom swept over Dylan, and his face darkened.
He believed the price to pay would only be gifts and money, but never expected to be tricked into divulging his actions!
If he admitted it, he would be entangled in the homicide case.
If he denied it, his daughter would be expelled!
The reception room was silent, with delicate daffodils on the table quietly stretching their leaves and branches.
After much contemplation, Dylan finally made up his mind.
“I did go to the bow of the ship, but it was out of goodwill,” Dylan said solemnly, “I saw someone drug Suzanne and went to the bow fearing she might be in danger. But when I got there, I didn’t see anybody, so I returned the way I’d come.. I didn’t do anything!”
