Chapter 189 Improper Interrogation
Wynter added, “Also, coercing us into confessing is a crime punishable by Imprisonment up to three years.”
The interrogator’s gaze snapped up to Wynter’s.
Wynter sounded bored as she pointed out, “I suggest you tread more carefully.”
“You know the law?” the interrogator asked, surprised.
Staring at the interrogator, Wynter said, “Normally, a statement is given in the presence of two police officers. One will ask the questions, and the other will record the statement.
“And yet, you’re the only one here. What if something happened to us? What will you do then?”
Her lulling voice and her words packed quite some persuasion.
The interrogator hesitated.
He had already been briefed about the case when he got here. The suspects were brought in by two so–called “officers” whose body cameras were turned off during the arrest.
This was a clear violation of the rules, but one of those officers happened to be Adam Weissman’s distant relative.
The interrogator knew Wynter was right. He would be held responsible if something happened to her and her accomplice during the interrogation.
The interrogator was at a loss when Wynter showed him a way out. “If I were you, I’d get that middle–aged lady’s statement first.
“She said my prescription put her grandson in a coma, but I’ve never prescribed anything through my live–streaming channel.
“You can verify that by playing back all my live streams on the platform.”
Wynter smirked. “I’ll be hiring a lawyer to represent me after this. I wonder what he’ll discover once he looks into the circumstances surrounding this case.‘
She drawled, “But you and I both know this case is a little too delicate to be probed into. It’s best if you back out before then, no?”
At that moment, it was as if Wynter and the interrogator had switched roles.
The latter stiffened as he considered his options. He set his pen down and barked, “Don’t go

anywhere!”
Following that, the interrogator left and slammed the door shut behind hi Wynter chuckled at this, her face radiant as ever.
a bang.
Next to her, Lucas smiled. “No wonder the old man kept raving about Dr. Genius whenever he dropped by Kingbourne.
“Now that I’ve met you in person, I must say I’m impressed.”
“Thank you, but I’m not that good,” Wynter replied modestly. “I’m just glad neither you nor Mr. Fisher got hurt.”
Dom was furious. “Those officers are unbelievable! Mr. Keller, you must deal with them accordingly after you’ve been sworn in as secretary! This is an outrage!”
“Sworn in as secretary?” Wynter thought, considering the implication of these words.
Most secretaries did not carry themselves the same way as Lucas did. Wynter had heard that Southdale would be run by a new official soon.
She reckoned Lucas was the official in question.
Wynter at once knew who Lucas was, but she revealed nothing.
Lucas saw this and grew even more impressed with her.
“You know, Dom, you’re not half as composed as Dr. Genius here,” he pointed out.
His elegance and confidence somehow belied his powerful position. He addressed Wynter with a question, “Did you read law at some point, Dr. Genius?”
Surprised to hear this, Dom turned to look at Wynter inquisitively.
Wynter did not elaborate much and only offered a smile. “I dabbled in it once.”
“I thought you were a medical student!” Dom said, perplexed.
“The two disciplines aren’t mutually exclusive,” Wynter answered casually.
Dom blinked and tried to make sense of her statement.
However, Lucas burst into laughter. “The old man was right! Southdale might not be big, but it certainly has enough room for a genius!”
He was pleasantly surprised by the young lady. He had also figured out the best way to run Southdale.
A bitter chuckle escaped Dom. “Mr. Keller, someone’s trying to frame Dr. Genius.”

Lucas‘ gaze darkened at this. “We’ll get to the bottom of this. My driver’s probably at the City Bureau right now.”
