Even Chester was starting to wonderâmaybe this man really was just having a psychotic episode, not targeting anyone in particular.
But Yvonne and Sean Quinn knew the truth behind Nicoleâs parentsâ deaths. They knew Quentin Walters was a master at putting on a façade.
âMaybe itâs just a coincidence?â Chester glanced at Sean.
He was the one whoâd arranged for Sean and Yvonne to visit Quentin Walters, who was being held in a secure psychiatric facility.
Quentin was lucid now, but all he did was sob and insist he didnât remember anything, that he was out of control and had no idea what happened.
âHe could just be an ordinary manâmaybe some unstable patient who lashes out at random,â Yvonne said, âbut where did he get the poison that killed Alicia? That stuffâs bannedâyou canât just get it anywhere.â She looked at Chester pointedly.
Chester nodded. That had bothered him, too.
Heâd questioned Quentin Walters countless times, but Quentin never gave a straight answerâalways claiming amnesia, insisting he didnât know where the syringe had come from.
With Quentin refusing to cooperate and having unpredictable psychotic episodes, all they could do was keep him in the psychiatric hospital for now.
âHeâs faking it,â Yvonne said coldly.
Chester looked surprised. âYou think heâs pretending? But the doctors say he really is sick...â
Chester had suspected as much at first, but after hours of interrogation without a single slip-up or clue, heâd begun to doubt himself.
âI was an actress, remember? Heâs good at pretending, but he seems to think a mental breakdown is just about acting crazy.â Yvonne glanced at Sean. âDonât let him out yet. Find a timeâweâll try a different approach.â
Sean nodded in agreement.
Yvonne started to walk away, then paused and turned back to Chester. âWhat did you just call me?â
âAunt?â Chester looked a little lost. Sean was his uncle, so wasnât that the right title?
Sean tried to hold back a laugh as he looked down. âItâs not wrong. Weâve already taken up too much of Nicoleâs time todayâletâs go.â He took Yvonneâs arm and led her to the car.
Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent)
ï¤Chapter 222 Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse ï¤Chapter 760 - 756: Encountering a Man with Evil Intentions âWhat nonsense have you been telling people?â Yvonne scolded, annoyed.
Sean changed the subject. âBy the way, Claytonâs come to Seaview City. Reginald sent himâto watch over Nicole.â
Yvonneâs expression darkened. âClayton is Reginaldâs top player. Are you telling me he canât see through that imposter?â
âClaytonâs been managing the familyâs overseas business for years,â Sean replied quietly. âFor Reginald to suddenly call him back and put him by Nicoleâs sideâon the surface, itâs for protection. But truthfully, I think Reginaldâs starting to have doubts. He wouldnât use that card unless he was concerned.â
Clayton was Reginaldâs trump cardâmeant for the real Nicole. Heâd never have used him lightly.
Now that he had, it meant Reginald might already suspect Nicole wasnât who she claimed to be.
Yvonne hesitated, looking at Sean. âDo you think we should tell Reginald about Alicia?â
Sean shook his head. âThe more people who know, the more danger Alicia is in. No one around Reginald is completely trustworthy.â
Given the way things stood, even Reginald himself might not be able to protect anyone.
Yvonne nodded. âYouâre right. He couldnât protect his own son, or my sister, back then...I donât trust him to keep Alicia safe now.â
