Chapter 924 Kind People Should Be Rewarded
“Especially Ms. Kowalski,” Harold continued, clenching his fists. “She depends on the Reed family, to win the Best Teacher Award.
“Her words were meant to stop Dulcie from telling her family. She was the one who took Dulcie to the bathroom.”
As he said that, he looked up. “Our school is a boarding school with a bathroom right next to the dorms. The surveillance cameras there weren’t broken. It should have footage of Dulcle that day and Ms. Kowalski taking her to wash and change.”
The cameras indeed weren’t broken, but the school claimed there had been a mainframe malfunction and all data was lost.
Wynter pulled out her phone and sent a voice message. “Recover the surveillance footage from Lavend International School. Get the areas around the stadium, the supply room, and the bathroom.”
Then she asked Harold, “Do you remember the exact date?”
“March 13th. It was a Wednesday,” Harold replied. He could never forget that day.
Wynter noted the date and said, “You mentioned Dulcie didn’t kill herself. Besides the clues you’ve given, do you know anything else?”
“Yes.” Harold’s gaze darkened. “After that day, I kept an eye on Dulcie. She noticed me and knew I was outside the office that day.
“She told me she had thought long and hard and decided to tell her dad and report to the police. She asked if I would be her witness.”
After a pause, he continued, “I didn’t agree.”
Jolie’s eyes turned to him.
Tears welled up in Harold’s eyes. “Mom, you must be disappointed in me.”
“Harold, 1-“Just as Jolie wanted to say something, Harold lowered his head.
“I was really scared. No one was on our side. No one believed Dulcie back then. I thought she would give
up.”
Harold continued, “One day, out of nowhere, she said she was definitely going to report it to the police. She wanted to see the bad guys brought to justice. She was scared, but she saw them targeting other
girls.
“That same day, they called her to the rooftop. She refused to comply, and Hailey said, ‘If you have the guts, jump off! Stop pretending.” Harold tightened his fists tightly.
“Dulcie was being bullied badly, so she bit Halley. Then, Halley and a few others ganged up on her, beating her. Wyatt and the others got impatient and pushed Dulcie to the edge.
Harold seemed to be controlling his emotions. “I thought they were just trying to scare her at the time. thought nothing would happen. I even recorded them as Dulcle asked, thinking it would help her win the
case.
“I didn’t expect Wyatt to push her off!” Harold cried. “I never thought he would actually kill Dulciel”
Hearing that, Jolie gasped and covered her mouth in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Wynter remained calm. “You said you recorded it. Where’s the footage?”
“I was afraid Wyatt and his friends would find out, so I kept it hidden. I thought about posting it online.” Harold sobbed. “But I was scared the Lowe family would track me down.
“Later, I tried going to a cybercafé, but I’m not of age, so they wouldn’t let me in. I reported it
anonymously, but nothing happened.”
As he said that, he handed his watch to Wynter. “Everything is in here. Someone tried to take it from me, but I didn’t give it up.”
Wynter caught onto the key detail. “You said someone tried to take it from you?”
