Chapter 233

The silvery moonlight hung like a delicate hook in the sky.

In the master bedroom of the cozy suburban cottage, Gwendolyn was seeing off Roselind and Jeannie. With a medical kit in hand, she was ready to change Howard’s bandages.

As she pushed open the door, she saw the tall, commanding figure of Howard on the phone, his voice stern and his expression icy.

He wrapped up the conversation briskly and turned to her.

“Gwendolyn, there’s new information on Jack’s case. The police found out who’s backing him,” Howard informed her after ending the phone call.

“What? Backing him up?” Gwendolyn looked at him in surprise.

She had assumed that Jack was driven by greed, recalling how he’d initially threatened to strip her and take photos for blackmail.

She hadn’t expected a mastermind behind the scenes.

The unfamiliar name took Gwendolyn aback.

Howard continued, “I’ve kept the details of Jack’s case under wraps. The public only knows that Candy was involved in an accident while being summoned for questioning. The Walkers have applied for bail.”

This was to protect Gwendolyn’s reputation, to shield her from the rumor mill that could cause secondary harm to a victim.
