Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 456

"I saw the news. Did Zachary bring her here?" Melvin asked, looking displeased.

Sarah shook her head. "Vivian came too, they were together."

Melvin's expression suddenly turned grave.

He studied Mia closely - her condition was clearly very poor, anyone could see that.

So was this connected to Vivian?

He couldn't be certain, but he knew there was no one else it could be.

Melvin pulled some documents from his bag and handed them to her. "See for yourself."

What's this?

Sarah opened the file - it was the investigation report on Tina Mendes.

Tina Mendes, nineteen years old, normally gentle and quiet - everyone's idea of the "perfect daughter."

But she noticed the neighbor's comments: "Well, Tina was a good kid, just unlucky to have such a mother! Her mom would take out her anger on her daily, beating and yelling at her, always demanding money. How could a college student have money to give? And she had a brother too, who ran wild all day. Poor Tina - now that she's gone, I don't know whether to feel sad or relieved that she's free. Maybe it was her mother's constant abuse that caused her problems, making her want to commit suicide. The day before Tina jumped, I heard her mother cursing at her again, saying horrible things, calling her worthless slut and such."

She finished reading all the notes.

Sarah had become a target of public criticism. Adams University urgently released the counseling room's surveillance footage, with the only benefit being that some people remained rational.

Some keyboard warriors grew increasingly vicious: "Just pay up! Can't come up with one million? Aren't you the Sanders family's daughter! I believe if Tina were just alive, her mum wouldn't ask for money."

"Exactly, and she calls herself a professional! Just hiding away! Shameless!"

"What's most chilling isn't her attitude, it's her indifference!"

He continued gravely, "Mrs. Mendes is at the police station now. Dean Larson reported her."

Sarah felt grateful to Dean Larson and Professor Wells. "Dean Larson and Professor Wells have always looked out for me."

Melvin spoke seriously, "The focus now isn't where Mrs. Mendes went, but what exactly happened the night Tina jumped?"

"I understand."

She had already refused Mrs. Mendes's demand for two hundred thousand, let alone one million!

Sarah narrowed her eyes. Mrs. Mendes really dared to ask for so much money.

She'd seen the interviews at the school gate too. Mrs. Mendes hadn't even tried to hide it, saying everything openly in front of everyone.
