Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Detecting an Anomaly
Owen Winton listened to Old Master Lewis’s harsh words, his expression inevitably darkened.
"Yes, yes, it’s Emma’s fault. She’s young and inexperienced, acting recklessly without considering the consequences.
But she really didn’t have any ill intentions towards Wyatt, and isn’t Wyatt perfectly fine now?
Emma is still young; she should be given a chance to change. I hope Old Master Lewis will show some leniency considering our past relationship."
Old Master Lewis had understood clearly.
What he meant was, since your Wyatt is unharmed, let’s just move on from this incident.
Old Master Lewis snorted heavily and shook his head, "What about the Sanders girl? Are we just going to disregard her injury? Is your daughter precious and others’ daughters not?"
Owen frowned slightly. As long as Old Master Lewis was willing to let go of Wyatt’s situation and give Emma a chance to reform, this incident could be seen as significant or not.
But over with Zoey Sanders, Zoey was seriously injured and almost lost her life when she was rescued; this case was more severe.
Owen, still harboring a slight hope, wouldn’t admit at this moment that his daughter was responsible. Owen sighed and replied:
"We are not familiar with the Sanders family, nor have we had any conflicts. Emma has no reason to harm an innocent person; we’re unaware of this incident."
"A fine unaware," Old Master Lewis’s voice deepened.
Owen pursed his lips and remained silent.
Old Master Lewis glanced at him sidelong, his face devoid of any expression, "Don’t think that by denying this incident, no one will find evidence. Wrong is wrong, and when mistakes are made, there must be an explanation.
Emma was lucky Wyatt wasn’t hurt. Our Lewis family can refrain from acting against her, but regarding the Sanders matter, she can’t escape no matter what."
Owen felt secretly relieved upon hearing Old Master Lewis speak like that.
As long as the Lewis family doesn’t intervene, the Sanders family will be much easier to deal with.
Old Master Lewis saw Owen’s expression of relief and coldly sneered.
If they truly realized their mistakes, what they should do isn’t merely finding excuses and seeking forgiveness, but striving to rectify their errors.
"Owen, my friendship with your father is entirely exhausted this time."
Old Master Lewis’s meaning was clear to Owen.
From now on, the Lewis family and the Winton family will have no regard or connection in any matter.
In the hospital ward.
Before entering Zoey’s ward, Hope Williams glanced at Emma Winton’s ward.
Perhaps afraid that Lucy Parker would act crazily again, two bodyguards were specially arranged at Emma’s ward door for guarding.
Aria Richardson followed Hope’s gaze, frowned, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Hope shook her head, "Nothing, let’s go."
As soon as Luke and Willow saw the severely injured Zoey Sanders on the hospital bed, tears fell immediately. They stood beside her bed, gently calling, "Sister Zoey."
Even though their mommy had already told them that Sister Zoey was badly hurt when they arrived, and they had mentally prepared themselves, seeing Sister Zoey, who had been playing with them just days ago, lying motionless on the hospital bed, the two little ones couldn’t hold back their tears.
Lucy Parker, already emotionally shattered, couldn’t hold back her tears upon hearing their cries, and her tears fell uncontrollably again.
The atmosphere in the ward quickly turned particularly mournful.
Hope showed a tense expression, hurriedly going over to comfort the little ones, "Luke, Willow, Sister Zoey will get better. Don’t cry, don’t cry. Do you remember what mommy told you before you came?"
Luke and Willow sniffed, dried their tears with their little hands, and nodded vigorously, "Sister Zoey will get better."
The ward door opened, and Joseph Sanders walked in, "Mom and Dad, I need to go out for a bit."
Adrian Sanders saw Joseph’s urgency and immediately asked, "What’s the matter?"
"The club owner just called me. They’ve caught a janitor who seems to be related to what happened to my sister."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s attention was piqued, "Is there evidence?"
"He hasn’t got much from her yet; I’ll go see now."
Lucy Parker promptly said, "Then you should go quickly."
Wyatt Lewis and Aria Richardson, "We’ll go with you."
Joseph Sanders nodded.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the club, where the owner was already waiting at the entrance to greet them.
Joseph Sanders hurried forward and immediately asked, "What does the cleaner know?"
The owner looked at the group and said, "She hasn’t said anything yet."
"Where is she?"
"Follow me."
After such a big incident at the club, the owner didn’t slack off, ordering a thorough investigation from all staff.
The cleaner aunt receiving a large sum of money couldn’t resist showing off to those around her, leading those around to report her, and that’s when the owner noticed something unusual.
Despite questioning, the cleaner insisted the money was hers, not given by anyone else. The owner wasn’t naive; having a sudden extra two hundred thousand, saying it’s her own money—a ghost would believe that.
The cleaner sat in the manager’s office, chin raised and lips sealed, with an expression that said she would say nothing.
Seeing more people enter, she raised her voice in agitation, "I’ve said everything I’m gonna say, this money is mine. What else do you want to ask?"
