Chapter 308 It Couldn’t Have Been Him
I figured it out, this is about wanting me to pass a message to Walter. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Hearing this, I pursed my lips slightly and said, “Sister-in-law, as you said, Walter and I are divorced. It
seems that I have no reason or excuse to look for him.”
Emma quickly shook her head, “No, this matter involves you, Tabatha. I know it’s a bit rash, but only
you can speak up. Gianna has already been imprisoned, and my uncle is getting old. He will retire in a
couple of years. Could you please plead with Walter to show some mercy?”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but slightly furrow my brows, looking at
her in confusion, “What did Walter do?”
Seeing my confusion, Emma paused slightly and said, “Someone reported my uncle for accepting
bribes, and the higher-ups are now investigating him.”
I raised an eyebrow, “This doesn’t seem like something Walter could control. After all, if there’s nothing
wrong with him, even an
investigation wouldn’t reveal anything. Moreover, it would actually serve to clear his name, wouldn’t it?”
Emma furrowed her brows, sighing, “Tabatha, I know you’re upset. My uncle deserved to be
investigated, he brought it upon himself with his dirty deeds. But he’s already been suspended. At his
age, having his children in jail is a big blow. Now he’s about to lose his job, he’s being threatened, and
he can’t even live peacefully. Tabatha, my uncle indeed deserves punishment, but his crime is not
punishable by death. He shouldn’t be tormented by Walter like this. He’s in the hospital now, his mental
state is collapsing. If this continues, he’ll either die or go mad!”

I became increasingly confused, not understanding, I asked, “What’s wrong with the person?”
Perhaps knowing that I was unaware of the details, she said with a serious face, “The day after my
uncle was suspended from his job, our house suddenly caught fire. If it hadn’t been for the neighbors
noticing, the couple might have been burned to death. At first, everyone thought it was an accident, but
then my uncle found that someone had tampered with the brakes of his car while he was driving.
Fortunately, he discovered it while he was in the city, and only suffered minor injuries.”
I frowned, “Do you think Walter had someone do these things?”
Emma looked pale, “Tabatha, the day when Henry’s incident escalated, it was my uncle who told the
media that you were at the Hinton family’s. I heard that you almost couldn’t leave the Hinton family’s
that day. I know, anyone would be angry in your place, but he didn’t have to go as far as death.”
Listening to her words, I was somewhat surprised, but I couldn’t help but say, “Even so, why are you so
sure it was Walter who did it? Can you guarantee that your uncle didn’t have any other enemies, didn’t
offend anyone else?”
She pursed her lips, her face clearly showing displeasure as she said, “Gianna was raped as soon as
she entered prison, followed by my uncle’s accident, Tabatha, do you really think none of these things
have anything to do with Walter?”
I was genuinely surprised by the ordeal of the Zhao father and daughter, but I still didn’t believe that
Walter would do such disgraceful things behind the scenes.
After a moment of silence, I reasoned. “Sister-in-law, as for Walter’s character, I can’t say I understand
it thoroughly over the years, but I do

have a general understanding. Having Gianna imprisoned, investigating your uncle, these are indeed
things Walter would do. However, he would disdain to do those disgraceful things. Besides, all your
current assumptions are based on speculation. You haven’t heard it directly from him, nor have you
seen it with your own eyes. You’re just concluding it’s him based on your intuition, right?”
Emma signed, her voice hesitant, “If not him, then who?”
I pursed my lips, “You’ll have to ask your uncle who he has offended.”
Emma didn’t rush to speak, instead she looked at me, and after a moment, she said, “Do you trust
Walter just like that?”
I smiled faintly, shaking my head, “It’s not trust, it’s what I’ve seen over the years of being together.”
She fell silent, no longer speaking.
Seeing her like this, I smiled and glanced at Daniel who was waiting for me not far away. I said to
Emma, “Sister-in-law, I have something else to do, I have to go now.”
After speaking, I walked towards Daniel’s side.
At the entrance of the restaurant, William walked out, holding a food box in his hand, which seemed to
be takeout.
Seeing me, he smiled gently, as always.
I returned his smile, thinking of Rachel, but seeing Emma following, I paused and didn’t say much.
Perhaps, Rachel had already let go, and there was no longer any entanglement between the two.
