Chapter 264 Long Time No See
+8 Pearls
“Even if I get exposed, I’m not afraid.” Jolene let out a soft, scornful laugh, her face calm and fearless. “I couldn’t care less about any of it.”
She had always done things her own way. Ever since she made a name fe herself, she took on cases not for money or background, but purely based on her mood.
Once she decided to help someone, she would go all in–no matter what outside pressure there was.
At first, she agreed to help Jean and get involved in Asher’s case because she had been ordered to. But now-
Jolene’s competitive spirit had been fully awakened.
She truly believed that Asher had been wronged, and that the person framing him was despicable.
Now, she genuinely wanted to clear Asher’s name and turn the tide in their favor.
“But why are you back?” Jolene looked at Jean with a puzzled expression. “I thought you were going home…”
Thinking of what she’d seen on Tri Street, Jean frowned slightly and sighed without realizing it. “I didn’t go home. I stopped by the crime scene.”
Jolene tilted her head. “Sounds like you found something.”
She was sharp, and Jean pressed her lips together and nodded.
“What did you find?”
Jean ran a hand through her hair and said coolly, “I’m pretty sure it’s Thomas pulling strings behind the scenes. He wants Asher destroyed.”
“That’s pretty much what we suspected,” Jolene nodded, completely unfazed.
Jean’s eyes darkened as she suddenly said, “Right now, we need to do one thing immediately.”
“What is it?” Jolene raised her eyebrows.
“Help me dig up info on someone–a boy who lives in the alley on Tri Street.” Jean locked eyes with Jolene, her expression deadly serious.
The next day.
Jean left the house early.
Sienna and Dominic knew she had been busy lately helping out a classmate and offered to lend a hand.
