Chapter 204 My Vulnerable Girlfriend
Ethan had never seen Dalton with such a cold expression. From the moment he received the call, a storm of coldness brewed within his gaze. As he approached the car, the surrounding air was filled with a palpable coldness.
Nobody could hear the conversation clearly, nor did they dare to eavesdrop. His towering form alone sent shivers down the spines of those that surrounded him.
What exactly happened back home to provoke such hostility in their typically composed boss? Dalton
talked on the phone for over 15 minutes,
No one dared to get close to him. His oppressive tone could be felt through the sound of the rain. After hanging up the call from 007, Dalton called Otis.
Otis was still at the station. He grew angrier as the investigation progressed. When he saw Dalton’s call, his chest tightened with a pang of guilt.
Dalton got straight to the point. He spoke politely, “I apologize for disturbing you at this time. It’s just that
I’ve received some troubling news and would like to consult you about it, sir.
“If a public official abused their power to frame my girlfriend, how would you address such a situation?
“The reason why I asked for your help when I left Southdale was not because I wanted you to give her any
special treatment..
“It’s just that it’s difficult for her to support her family at such a young age. I simply hoped for a smoother path for her. Now I hear that my girlfriend will be convicted of a serious crime.”
If Dalton had exhibited the typical intimidating attitude of those from prominent families, Otis might not
have felt as guilty.
However, Dalton maintained his composure while he criticized Otis. He presented facts and even brought up Wynter’s background.
Hearing Dalton’s words, Otis desperately wished he could drag people like Jerome and sacrifice them to the heavens. It was not permissible to disclose the general details of the case, but Otis recognized that Dalton had a close relationship with the girl who was convicted.
Otis didn’t hide anything from him and provided Dalton with the that the City Bureau Secretary was among those who were arrested.”

He even included the fact
He explained the reason why he had not made any statement was because there was another case of severe cyberbullying involved. Wynter, who had gathered evidence, was currently coordinating the final operation with the Special Unit.,
“Her? Special Unit?” Dalton’s eyes darkened as he got lost in his thoughts.
Otis lowered his voice and said, “This young lady is remarkable. She remained calm throughout the investigation, She even had such a big trump card. She’s extremely intelligent.

“Mr Buchanan, you should not disregard the fact that she’s vulnerable and at a disadvantage just because she’s smart,” Dalton remarked in a subdued tone as he twirled the beads of his bracelet.
“Social connections hold weight everywhere. She has no connections or background. She would’ve been torn apart once she entered your bureau if she hadn’t been smart. She wouldn’t be standing where she is now.” Dalton’s words weren’t sharp, yet they pierced through Otis.
Otis felt remorseful and assured, “Don’t worry, we’ll set things straight and offer her an explanation.”
“Indeed, an explanation is needed.” Dalton’s gaze was dark and deep. “But this time, the explanation will be different from the past. I’m sure Mr. Buchanan is aware of the public sentiment online.”
Otis was aware that this case hadn’t been managed well in terms of public relations. Even if Wynter was
innocent, her reputation would likely be tarnished.
After all, rumors spread like wildfire. It would be extremely difficult to debunk them.
Dalton noticed that Otis was lost in thought so he moved on to the main purpose of his call. “I need your
to provide an initial explanation for the case. The Yarwoods will handle the rest.”
