Chapter 1235 Parents Steve and Astrid were able to cause such a commotion earlier because they exploited their vulnerable image. Now, with Wynter's question, people's thoughts were brought back to track.
"I noticed that Mrs. Chadwick's phone was constantly ringing. The notifications were from the insurance company." Wynter's experience with various cases had taught her the outrageous things people could do when money was involved.
"Did Vanny have an accidental death insurance policy in her own name?" Wynter stepped closer. “Did the insurance company tell you there's a payout now that Vanny is gone? Are they urging you to claim it quickly?" These few sentences made Astrid's and Steve's expressions change drastically. They grew even more nervous considering Wynter had said she was Vanessa's classmate.

"Are they in such a rush to claim the insurance money?" one person speculated.
"These parents are something else," another remarked.
Astrid's expression twisted with anger as she glared at Wynter venomously after hearing the murmurs around her.
"You! Young lady! What nonsense are you spouting about? What insurance? I don't know anything about that! I haven't answered any of those calls!"

My daughter just died! I'm more heartbroken than anyone! 1233 P 212 "Would any of this have happened if it weren't for you guys dragging her to that bar? Now, you're talking about insurance! How would a rural woman with no education likeknow anything about that?" "You wouldn't have set a reminder if you didn't know." Wynter shot back, getting straight to the point. "You're in a hurry to get the insurance money. Why? Because your son needs it?" Wynter made this guess based on the initial investigation of Vanessa's phone records. Although she hadn't directly mentioned her family, it was clear from her messages that she envied other people's families.
For instance, in her chats with Hazel, she often said things like, "I wish my dad was like Uncle Dylan. Hazel, don't always ask your dad for money. I can see that he is tired." It wasn't common for people from happy families to say such things.
Moreover, Vanessa often mentioned feeling very tired and would rather stay in Hawford to work during the holidays than go home.
Wynter hadn't understood why Vanessa would say she was tired until she saw the family photo. In this family, it was clear that their son cfirst.

"I knew we shouldn't have allowed her to go to school. She tells everyone we're unfair and that we N favor her brother! We raised her for so many years, and this is how she repays us!" "Enough, stop talking." Steve intervened from the side.
Astrid shoved his hand away. "Look doing! She's been at what she's been bad parents! telling everyone we're We raised her for more than ten years, and this is how she repays us!
"She's still bringing us sheven after her death! She went to a to a bar and threw herself at men! What did she want in return? How could she be so shameless?"
