Chapter 355

A bit later, the police finally released a statement about the case.

The statement detailed the parties involved: Edwin, Seraphina, Leandro, and Vivian, and gave a blow-by-blow account of Edwin’s trouble-making behavior. It also revisited Vivian’s fall from a building, and concluded that the incident was an accident.

Once the detailed case report hit the newsstands, it was picked up by a ton of official media outlets. The irrational chatter quieted down quite a bit, but a few stubborn skeptics still questioned whether the Reynolds family was using their deep pockets to cover up the truth.

Shortly after, Keen, acting as Leandro’s special assistant, took some heat from the media.

In the interview, he mentioned Vivian’s fall and said that Leandro has been financially supporting the Smith family for years, with all payments on record.

Over the past couple of years, Edwin had voiced his dissatisfaction with the amount of money he had received, but Leandro had continued to provide financial aid as usual.

After the interview was released, the online conversation took a sharp turn. Most people thought that Edwin had intentionally caused this incident out of greed, hoping to scare Leandro, but ended up getting himself slapped with a charge of causing trouble.

When Seraphina saw the case report, she was hanging out with Andrea.

After reading the report, she handed her tablet to Andrea, Andrea took it, read the report carefully, and then looked at the comments below.

“These people are ridiculous,” Andrea couldn’t help but comment halfway through. “They start yelling before they know the whole story, and now that they know they were wrong, they’re rushing to criticize others. Have they ever thought about apologizing for their misguided comments?”

“Admitting you’re wrong takes a lot of courage,” Seraphina said. “It’s always easier to throw stones at others. This kind of thing happens all the time, why are you still surprised?”

Andrea slowly said, “I never really paid attention to this stuff.”

“I know,” Seraphina said lightly, “our Andrea is too good for this earthly mess.”

Andrea didn’t respond to her joke. She spent a few more moments staring at the tablet before saying, “I suppose the police have already questioned Leandro before releasing this report, right?”
