Flirted Wrong, Married Right-Chapter 794: Beginning the Scheme

Shane Sinclair’s expression became inscrutable, and after a long pause, he said, "How did he find out?"

"He found out the address of Principal Shaw’s wife’s family and went there personally to inquire," Evelyn Clayton said concisely, "I believe he has no reason to lie to me. Besides, the car accident is undeniably real."

Shane’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after a moment, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Check what happened with the car accident on the Aethelburg highway today."

After Shane finished speaking, he didn’t hang up the phone immediately.

The person on the other end seemed to say something, and Shane’s expression became increasingly grim.

Evelyn’s heart was pounding, but she dared not interfere.

After what felt like an eternity, Shane finally hung up the phone and looked at Evelyn with a complicated expression.

"What’s wrong?" Evelyn asked nervously.

Shane replied slowly, "There was indeed an incident... A charred corpse was found in the unlicensed vehicle, and while DNA comparison is still ongoing, it’s preliminarily concluded that the deceased is a middle-aged man around thirty-five, of average build."

Around thirty-five, average build...

It matches Principal Shaw.

Evelyn closed her eyes briefly, her mood heavy.

Yet she held onto a glimmer of hope, saying, "Until it’s definitively confirmed, no one knows—could it really just be an accident?"

Shane’s deep gaze met hers.

Evelyn didn’t continue speaking.

They both knew this was merely an impotent hope.

"Don’t worry too much. If it really involves Principal Shaw, I’ll find a way to manage this properly, ensuring no harm comes to you and Sharon."

Shane looked at Evelyn, his heart aching, "You don’t look well, you’d better get some rest."

Evelyn pursed her pale lips and whispered, "Brother, I’m sorry for the trouble."

Shane felt indescribable emotions hearing the word ’brother.’

He forced a smile, "We’re family, why be so formal?"

After sending Evelyn off, Shane returned to his small building, heading up to the office on the second floor.

The secretary soon called again, bringing the latest news. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The deceased was indeed Principal Shaw.

Without Shane’s prompting, the secretary had already begun handling the public relations issues, ensuring Principal Shaw’s death would not cause any ripples.

However, the major highway accident had already shot to the top of trending searches, with high levels of discussion.

Meanwhile, Evelyn returned to her residence, checked on Sharon, and quietly retreated to her room.

She turned on her phone and naturally saw the trending searches.

With a heavy heart, Evelyn opened it and browsed through the statements and comments within the trending topic.

After scrolling for an indeterminate amount of time, Evelyn suddenly caught sight of a post—

"I heard the deceased was the principal of a noble academy."

Evelyn’s brows tightened as she clicked on the post.

She refreshed the page, and almost instantly, several new comments appeared below the post.

"Really? I heard there was a charred corpse in the car, a middle-aged man."

"Is the noble academy Genesis Academy? My aunt’s child studies there, and I heard that a remarkable child at their school caused an incident and dropped out recently. I wonder if it’s related to this."

Upon reading this, Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat.

She opened the profile page of that comment’s user and found it was a very new account; Evelyn’s hand tightened slightly.

It seems that someone has already started making moves.
