“I’m Angeline.”

The moment the officer heard that, his face turned grim before letting her pass through the cordoned-off area.

Once Angeline got in, she did not say much. Instead, she ran all the way up to the top floor.

After running up more than ten flights of stairs, Angeline held on to her knees and was panting heavily when she reached her destination.

She forced herself to calm down before trying to comfort Darlene.

“Mrs. Quast, it’s me. Please calm down. Why don’t you come down first? Then, we can talk about your problems.”

The moment Darlene saw Angeline, her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she started yelling at Angeline, “You’re a murderer! If it weren’t for the Sorelle family, my husband wouldn’t have ended up like this. Now that our savings have been depleted, how do you expect us to carry on living?”

Angeline felt sad as she listened to Darlene’s complaint. She took a deep breath before saying, “I know you feel a lot of hatred right now. I can pay for the medical fees—”

“You’re lying!”

Darlene was so agitated when she moved that the mud on the balcony started falling. It was a harrowing scene.

She pointed at Angeline and looked like she could not wait to kill her.

“All of you are just lying to me in front of the cameras. After that, no one will be held accountable. This time around, I will never let this go!”

Angeline’s face darkened. Joseline must have lied to Darlene. That was why Darlene lost her confidence.

The existence of Joseline made Angeline realize that humans could be extremely nasty.

Angeline pursed her lips before bowing at Darlene apologetically.

“I know that you have suffered for many years. But, I’m not representing the Sorelle family when I apologize to you and your family. As for Mr. Quast’s medical fees and his mental trauma compensation, I will pay the compensation in full. However, I need to know the truth behind what happened all those years ago.”

Darlene looked better when she heard Angeline’s assurance. Nonetheless, she still had a look of despair.

“So what? My husband will never become a normal person again. If he were not threatened back then, he would have never tampered with the car…”
