Chapter 1212 The Art of Gaslighting
“He might really have a sick grandmother, but the way he presented it is suspicious. You must be cautious when a man deliberately evokes your sympathy.
“He’s trying to deceive you, whether it’s emotionally or financially. Sky is obviously the latter.
“The clients would stay hooked only when he strings them along. It makes them return to the bar over and over again.
“There was even a girl who got into a fight for him at the bar. His gaslighting skills are considered intermediate.”
Gaslighting? Joanne’s expression shifted and suddenly became much more serious.
Wynter’s smile grew wider. “The top earner at the bar seems to have quite a depth of knowledge. It’s worth investigating this bar thoroughly.”
Wynter glanced at Sky, who was still in a frenzy. She then spoke calmly, “He’s quite clever. He’s more than his good looks.”
Upon hearing this, Dalton, who was standing beside her, raised an eyebrow.
His slender fingers paused momentarily, and his gaze followed b before he spoke in a low tone, “Since when are you

Wynter didn’t catch his words. “What did you say?”
“Nothing.” Dalton returned his gaze to her. “Investigate thoroughly.
Stop focusing on insignificant matters. Your taste still needs.
refinement.”
Wynter was puzzled at the sudden disdain.
“Since he’s more than his good looks, then his recent performance. was just an act.” Dalton raised his gaze casually. “Perhaps we should review the surveillance footage again.”
That was Wynter’s intention as well. The two of them were back on
the same page again. She knew that with Dalton’s sharp mind, he
would definitely understand what she intended to do.
It wasn’t just due to Sky’s testimony. After noticing the surveillance
cameras that were located everywhere inside the bar, Wynter felt the
need to review the surveillance footage again.
In fact, the police were also trying to find clues from the surveillance footage. Oddly enough, everything appeared normal. Each frame.
matched the statements given by the girls.
“The bar has been very cooperative. They submitted the surveillance
footage from inside promptly.
“However, the cameras aren’t positioned closely enough. We can’t
discern what they were saying or analyze it from the footage,” Tristan
Bray, the officer in charge of the footage, informed.
Wynter listened intently as her gaze fixed on the screen. “Wait. Slow it
down here.”
Tristan replied, “When she stood up?”
“Fast forward it a little. Focus on Sky, and enlarge his image,” Wynter continued.
Tristan didn’t quite understand why Wynter, who was sent by the higher–ups, was so interested in Sky.
According to their investigation, Sky didn’t have the time to commit the crime. After all, for a long time after Vanessa left, he wasn’t alone. Moreover, two girls also ended up in a fight for him yesterday.
Although he did tend to gaslight his clients as evident from the chat *ecords, he had done it for money, just like he admitted earlier.
From a career perspective, Sky had no reason to sabotage his own lients. After all, they were all already obsessed with him. All he
eeded to do was to keep up with his image.
