Chapter 921 Slandering Him
Hector instinctively tried to reach Alfie.
Jorge Neal, Hector’s assistant, reminded him, “Mr. Donovan, Mr. Alfie is still under investigation and likely can’t answer the phone.”
Hector’s face paled at once. He quickly ordered, “Go, get those previous discussions about Dulcie. I need to see them now!”
Jorge didn’t understand what was happening, but he’d never seen Hector this panicked in all the years he’d been by his side.
The Lowe family’s case was undeniably tough, given the high level of public attention it was receiving, so it required a very delicate approach.
Hector didn’t hesitate when he received the case from the Lowe family. So, what had changed to make him this frantic?
The answer lay with Wyatt.
Some things ingrained in one’s bones were impossible to conceal. His attitude shifted noticeably as he spent more time in the chair.
Based on his past experiences, Hector should have arrived by now. Why hadn’t he come to see him yet? Wyatt grew increasingly restless.
Just then, Wynter replaced one of the interrogators and pushed a phone toward him.
“Mr. Wyatt, you should be very familiar with this chat history. Now, I need you to tell me. Besides yourself, who are the other two people?”
Wyatt, who always saw himself as just a “kid“, turned pale in an instant.
He averted his gaze in panic. Remembering what Alfie had taught him, he blurted out, “Dulcie came to me willingly. Her family is poor. She could only get herself nice things by coming to me.”
Such shameless statements naturally angered some of the interrogators.
Wynter’s eyes darkened. “Mr. Wyatt, it seems like you’ve rehearsed this.”
“Someone asked me this question before.” Wyatt was desperate to clear his name. He didn’t realize he
was walking into a trap.
“Oh?” Wynter raised an eyebrow and continued slowly, “In cases like this, any inquiries made by relevant personnel would leave a record. Even if the case wasn’t filed, there would be documentation.”
Wynter glanced at the interrogator beside him. “Can the system find any records?”
The interrogator shook his head.
Smiling, Wynter turned back to Wyatt. “That’s odd. Who questioned you about this and taught you to

answer it this way?”
Wyatt’s face froze.
Wynter continued, “Judging by your reaction, your family must have known about this for a while but didn’t teach you a lesson.”
“I already said that she came to me willingly!” Wyatt shouted, almost rising from his chair. “I don’t need anyone to teach me a lesson!”
Wynter looked at him. “If a minor went through something like this, parents and schools would intervene. It seems the Lowe family is quite exceptional. Mr. Alfie must be too used to being on top.”
“Don’t lecture me! I want to see my lawyer!” Wyatt realized this new interrogator was tough and wasn’t treating him like a child at all.
Wynter pulled out a document. “I understand what you’re thinking. You believe that once Mr. Donovan arrives and knows the situation, he’ll argue for your innocence. After all, you’ve gotten away with things many times before.”
She continued nonchalantly, “Relax. We’re just scratching the surface. Let’s set this case aside and chat about something else.”
She placed the document in front of him. “Mr. Wyatt, you probably don’t know yet that Mr. Alfie is under investigation. For so many years, he has covered up quite a few things for you. You might want to take a look at these.”
