Chapter 220
Did he just say today was his first day hein? Austin weted. Put Austin was sure he’d
this pay at the hospital before.
Austin had his suspicions and quietly fled them away in his mind, planning to dig deeper into them later.
Then, something occurred to him, and he turned to Emily. “Emily, are you having Tina help you investigate Yronne??
Emily had been thinking about how to keep all this from
trouble mway from Charles, to when Austin suddenly brought this up, it caught her off guard.
Emily had indeed asked Tina to help investigate something, but that was about Quiana. Actually, it was Tina who volunteered fir
Originally, it was Emily’s business and had nothing to do with Tina, but after Tina heard some of the details from her, she offered to help look into it.
Even though Tina had always held a grudge against Emily because of Louisa, she never did anything to her, Tina didn’t even try to stop Louise from what she was doing
Tina, like Louisa, was a genuinely kind person deep downs.
Emily looked at Austin, puzzled. “What does Tina have to do with Wonne?”
When she asked that, Austin instantly realized she was still in the dark. He explained right away. “I’ve been digging into Yvonne for some stuff, and found out Tina’s been secretly looking into Yvonne’s high school days.”
It wasn’t hard for Austin to figure out that Emily and Tina had been in contact. With how sharp he was, Austin quickly guessed what was going on, so he held off on doing anything to Yvonne for now,
Emily’s heart thudded in her chest. ‘Something from high school? she wondered. For some reason, the image of that girl who’d jumped off the rootop right in front of her suddenly flashed through Emily’s mind.
“Was it really just a coincidence? she thought, unsettled. A surge of panic and a dark, brooding anger welled up inside her.
“if that girl really is the Quiana I have been searching for–Emily thought, her mind racing. The thought alone made Emily unable to sit still. She immediately contacted Tina, wanting to find out what was going on.
As soon as they met, Emily cut right to the chase, blurting out, “Are you looking into Yvonne?”
Tina blinked in surprise at how blunt Emily was. “How did you know?”
Tina knew the Zwick family was no joke, so she’d been extra cautious with her investigation. She hadn’t even breathed a word to Emily. She never expected Emily to find out anyway.
Since Emily brought it up, Tina didn’t hold back and told her everything she’d found out. “Quiana, the girl who jumped off the roof was the only student in recent years to be specially admitted to Shandell High School with almost perfect scores.
“Later on, for some reason, she somehow offended Ms. Zwick, and the whole class turned against her. She was bullied a lot. But even in those chcumstances, she still managed to maintain excellent grades”
Tina continued, “She just needed to get through the SATS, but for some reason, she jumped off the roof the day before the t
test
*It caused quite a stir at the time, but Quiana’s only family was her grandmother, who made a living by sweeping the streets and collecting recyclables. The school quickly swept the whole thing under the rug
“It’s not surprising!
of her own accord.”
at the school tried to cover it up for the sake of their reputation, but what’s strange is that Quiana’s file says she transferred schools

That just so happened to match wactly what the principal had told Emily.
Emily was pretty sure the Quiana Tina was talking about was the same one the principal had mentioned, but Emily couldn’t rule out the possibility this Quiana wasn’t the one she was looking for.
After all, Emily had never met Zack’s sister, and she’d never seen a picture of her. Even though Emily was mentally prepared for the worst, she couldn’t afford to overlook any possibility.
That was the only way Emily could keep her promise to Zack
Emily forced herself to stay calm and asked, “Was Quiana’s suicide, jumping off the rool, because of Yvonne?”
if it wasn’t. Tina wouldn’t be digging into Wonne. Tina nodded, just as Emily expected.
