Chapter 198 A Deeper Plot
Dom’s gaze was venomous. “Of course.”
Adam was so terrified that he blurted out the whole truth.
He hadn’t known anything about the online controversy surrounding Wynter, that much was true. However, he was the one who had prepared a false witness to frame Wynter for medical negligence.
Wanda was revealed to be the mastermind. The plan would be for Adam’s men to bust into Wynter’s house and arrest her during Empathy Clinic’s live–streaming just as the number of viewers were peaking.
Once that was done, Wynter’s reputation as a doctor would be ruined regardless of whether charges were pressed against her or not.
Adam had been told that Wynter was a helpless bumpkin. She could resist arrest, but that would be against the law.

Either way, the officers would make sure that a certain degree of damage would be done to Wynter.
However, at the time of Wynter’s arrest, neither the officers nor Wanda had anticipated Lucas to get
involved.
The plan would have been foolproof if Dom and Lucas hadn’t made an appearance.
Dom was fuming after listening to Adam’s confession.
He had been a police force grunt before, so he knew how corrupted the system was. Nonetheless, it pissed him off that something like this would happen in Southdale, his jurisdiction.
Dom struck the table so hard it was a wonder it did not fall apart. “Adam, a vermin like you is a disgrace
to society! Not only that, but you’ve also disgraced the very uniform you’re ing!”
He wanted nothing more than to shred Adam into pieces. He couldn’t believe they’d insulted Wynter like this, especially when all the leaders of the cadre loved her to bits.
Dom was sure these ignorant fools would be the death of him.
Wynter was the calmest among them all. “Captain Weissman, you know how bad things would be for you if this plan were discovered.
“And yet, instead of turning down Wanda’s offer, you chose to act on your greed and did her bidding.”
“I didn’t do it just for the money! We’re talking about the Yates family here!” Adam cried, letting the truth slip as panic seized him.
The mention of the Yates family made Lucas stiffen. “Are you saying that one of the four prestigious
families is involved in this?”

“No,” Adam replied, his fingers interlacing nervously. “Wanda is from the branch family, but Mr. Grayson
takes special care of them.
“We’re doing this to maintain friendly relations with the Yates.”
This was the information Wynter had been waiting for. She was not going to let this slide just because
Adam threw Jerome under the bus.
She wanted the entire institution and all those involved to be held accountable.
She asked a question that seemed irrelevant to the present case, “Captain Weissman, do you remember The Nines Entertainment? It’s a company.”
The question stumped Adam, who merely gaped at her.
Wynter gave him a nudge. “At the start of the year, a young lady who went by Strawberry Cloud took her own life after suffering extensive cyberbullying.
“The Nines Entertainment was one of the parties embroiled in that scandal.”
Adam faltered at the mention of the suicide case. “I wasn’t in charge of that case. It was Mr. Grayson.
“He said we shouldn’t allow a reputable enterprise in Southdale to go to ruins just because the victim
couldn’t handle a little pressure.”
“So the case was closed without further investigation,” Wynter said quietly. Her next words sent a chill running down Adam’s spine.
“You covered for The Nines Entertainment even though the company illegally employed a troll army to
slander others for a profit.”
Adam was a greedy person, but never to such an extent. He hadn’t known how The Nines Entertainment operated until much later.
The company had targeted Strawberry Cloud, a young woman who had both looks and a strong social media presence.
Whenever she posted videos or stories of herself, the company’s troll army would make up tales and spread vile rumors about her.
In exchange, the company would gain followers, and the controversy they orchestrated would begin trending on social media.
The trolls also had public accounts where they analyzed and picked apart the targeted Strawberry Cloud’s
behaviors.
