She could have slowly investigated this matter herself and eventually uncovered the truth.
But any further delay would only worsen Wayne Whitman's condition and his child's illness.
"Ebony Fox, are you going to let Wayne off the hook?" Polly asked, blinking.
Even though he had been coerced, he was still an ungrateful coward.
With the evidence they had, sending him to prison would be a slap on the wrist.
"Just drive," Ebony Fox replied.
She leaned back against the seat and turned her head to gaze out the window, leaving the question unanswered.
"Okay."
Sensing her exhaustion, Polly didn't press the matter.
Sigh.
Poor Ebony Fox.
She had selflessly helped Wayne out of the goodness of her heart, expecting nothing in return, only for him to bite the hand that fed him.
Anyone would be devastated.
Polly's heart ached for her. If only Kurt were here.
With his great sense of humor, he would definitely find a way to make Ebony Fox smile.
——
Ebony Fox didn't go home.
Instead, she headed to the dessert shop Kurt had taken her to before.
The Cybernetic Shadows had already found everything she asked for.
They were compiling the data and would send it all to her shortly.
She ordered a slice of Black Forest tiramisu. The cake, which usually tasted sweet, somehow carried a hint of bitterness today.
After taking a couple of bites, Ebony Fox set down her silverware and replied to the messages in her family group chat:
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
With those words, her family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Juniper had told them to stay out of it, assuring them that Ebony Fox could handle it herself.
And they trusted Juniper's words.
After sending the reply.
The files from the Cybernetic Shadows came through. Ebony Fox crossed her legs and lazily scrolled through the data on her screen.
The dossier didn't just contain chat logs; it also included videos and bank transfer records.
"Ebony Fox, there's something specific we need to bring to your attention," a member respectfully reported over the phone.
