Riches in Disguise

Chapter 291

The Dragonshade Society wanted to eliminate the possibility that Riley might one day kill them. So, they decided to take her out first.

The thought filled me with rage. The Dragonshade Society was just awful! How could they go after a child over something that might never even happen?

Just then, Quintus walked over. "Mr. White, I need to talk to you."

I arched an eyebrow and followed him to a quiet spot.

Quintus wasn't the type to talk much. If he had something to say, it was bound to be important.

As expected, his words floored me. He said, "I just got a call from a friend in the underworld. Apparently, The Dragonshade Society pulled some strings with some big shots and got those two off the hook. So, they're about to walk free."

I said in disbelief, "Sure, we didn't obtain enough evidence to convict them. But shouldn't they at least be held for a day during the investigation? How could they just be released like that?"

Quintus sighed. "It looks like The Dragonshade Society pulled out all the stops for those two."

I was at a loss for words.
