true.”

Luke said, “These families in the political circle are much more sensitive than ordinary people.
The fact that the news spread among them means that the Elsworth case can no longer be covered up.
They’re all trying to avoid this ‘earthquake’ in California.”

Selina asked, “Are the Elsworths that powerful? Once their luck runs out, will the whole of California be affected?”

Luke said, “When an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent.”

Selina asked, “What do you mean?”

“Even if most people don’t know what the Elsworths did, they’re accomplices,” said Luke.
“These people might not be vampires or have killed anyone with their own hands, but they’re definitely corrupt and abusive.
Have you forgotten how Wolf Elsworth broke into our interrogation room and took Mr.
Dylan away? Do you really think Dustin wanted to let that scum go?”

Selina nodded and got it.

Luke had never liked opponents with no bottom line.

Sheldon Elsworth didn’t respect human life at all, so Luke naturally had to kill him.

In the next few days, the political scene in Los Angeles changed, just as Luke predicted.

The FBI already officially made public the news that they were investigating evidence of Sheldon Elsworth’s crimes, and had obtained major results.

Sheldon’s faction began to crumble.

As for the rest of the Elsworth family, they drew a clear line between themselves and Sheldon as they tried to protect themselves.

But how effective these actions were would depend on the depth of their involvement and their own PR efforts.

They wouldn’t be able to clear their names so easily in front of a bunch of enemies who were waiting to take advantage of them.

On the surface, Luke discovered that more than twenty mid-level Elsworth employees had suddenly disappeared.

Whether they had escaped or were arrested, it was a heavy blow to the Elsworth family.

Judging from Dustin’s relaxed expression, he knew that the situation was favorable for him and Jennifer.

Elsa and Elizabeth returned to work, no longer needing to take turns to protect Jennifer.

The only thing that puzzled Luke was that Dr.
Bruce Banner, Jennifer’s cousin, had left, and never visited her again.

It was normal for cousins to not have as close a bond, but Dr.
Banner hadn’t seemed like that when he was donating blood.

From what Jennifer said, it was clear that they were quite close.

After all, Banner was at the California Institute of Technology, which was located in the small city of Pasadena on the outskirts of Los Angeles and half an hour’s drive away.

Like a moving blood bank, Dr.
Banner had rushed over and given Jennifer hundreds of milliliters of life-saving blood before he disappeared.

It was a strange situation, but Luke didn’t think much of it.

Perhaps Dr.
Banner was that type of cousin who was cold-faced but warm-hearted! He was afraid of being thanked, so he holed up in his lab after doing something good.
This would happen quite often in the future.

Thankfully, as part of the registration procedure, the hospital had Dr.
Banner’s phone number.

Luke obtained the number easily and sent a message to Dr.
Banner.

Of course, he couldn’t word the news so simply or bluntly in a text message; he could only tell Dr.
Banner not to let his life or work be affected because of what happened to Jennifer.
