Chapter 10 Shedding Tears

 

Amber nodded and followed the police officer to the archive room.

 

The police officer had found every information about Connor in the system. Connor Smith was born in 1986, and he had a little sister named Yasmin. Both their parents died in a car accident. Connor was only nine years old, and his sister was five when the accident happened.

Moreover, the other driver involved in the accident had also died on the spot. Because of that, Connor and Yasmin did not receive much compensation. Later, they were both adopted by their uncle, a powerful city official in Horington.

The truth was, the siblings had been very obedient while they lived at their uncle’s place. Unfortunately, an incident ten years ago changed Connor’s life forever.

 

That day, Connor and Yasmin were at home with their uncle’s wife, Yannie Hemmings. She was a beautiful woman at the age of thirty-six.

 

Yannie had a younger brother named Joseph, who was a junkie. That night, Joseph came to their house and asked Yannie for money. After countless times of doing so, Yannie became disappointed by his repetitive behavior. Hence, she rejected him.

However, Joseph was an unreasonable man. Upon realizing he was not getting any money, he begged Yannie and smashed his head until it bled, crying like a baby as he did so.

 

Yannie merely ignored him.

Eventually, Joseph became enraged by her attitude and choked her, forcing her to give him money. He even brought a knife with him. It was clear that he had come prepared.

Connor was only eighteen then. As he tried to pull Joseph away from the petrified Yannie, Joseph stabbed Connor’s hand with his knife.
