A handsome and smart-looking man? Could it be... him?

Lauren suddenly stopped sobbing, as if she had recalled something. Mrs. McGowan, can you remember the exact date and time when they came over?"

As soon as she was done speaking, Lauren realized that she had asked a stupid question. It was definitely after she had been put in jail, so it could still be either Willy or Zedd.

Seemed to have remembered something, Lauren searched for his picture online, but only found one picture of Willy's side profile after looking for a while. "Take a look at this... was this the man?"

The couple took her cell phone over and looked at it, but they weren't too sure about it. "Judging by his side profile and his outfit, it does look like him. However, we can't see his face clearly, so we're not sure either!" Sharon took a look as well, and asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"

Hearing their answer, Lauren was pretty confident with her guess. She put her cell phone away and said, "I think I know who it was!"

If it were him, then it could still be great news!

However, if he had already gotten the evidence, why didn't he tell her about it?

Lauren's mind was in a mess. She gave Sharon a glance, but didn't say anything. After that, they thanked the couple and left.

Lauren wasn't clear about the situation yet, so she didn't tell Sharon much about it, and only ranted briefly to her after they walked out. After that, they went their separate ways, and Sharon made a call after hesitating for a while.

In the conference room, Willy was elated to receive a call from Lauren. He paused the meeting for ten minutes, and ran over to the lounge next door, but before he could say anything, he received an intense scolding, and was stunned for a moment.

"How did you know about the surveillance cameras at the McGowan's house?" she asked.

Was she looking for evidence for the case?

All of a sudden, Willy's brows furrowed in displeasure.

Just as he was about to say something, Lauren burst into flames.

"So, it was indeed you! Willy, you're the biggest jerk in the world! You've been lying to me for this whole time, haven't you? You've already gotten your hands on the evidence, but you didn't help me prove my innocence. You kept promising me that you would, and you just kept comforting me. What are your intentions?" she yelled.
