Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Wishing There Be No More Human Trafficking in the Mortal Realm
Scarlett Jennings’ words made the old lady speechless instantly, while Collins Clark, next to her, was in disbelief, looking at his own mother, his expression almost dazed.
"Just because of this... because of this... indeed, I killed my daughter... I harmed Ellie and almost hurt Peace..."
Collins Clark murmured, suddenly collapsing as he knelt down on the ground, this grown man sobbing like a child.
The old lady looked at her son’s sudden breakdown and her heart ached instantly.
"How is this any of your business?! It’s all because your damned wife instigated it! She, a woman, isn’t thinking about having more children to continue the Clark Family line, always thinking about some job. Wasn’t it just fine for the past few years, she quit and stayed at home to take care of the children..."
Collins Clark, initially wailing in pain, heard his mother’s words and couldn’t control himself anymore and roared at her.
"That’s because you killed our first child!! Eleanor was afraid something would happen to the child again so she gave up work to stay at home and take care of the child!! It’s clearly your fault! You killed my child! That child always called you grandma!!"
Collins Clark’s face showed visible collapse and despair; his own mother was the culprit who killed his child, plunging him into endless torment.
The old lady was stunned for a moment by her son’s roar, unable to believe that her usually filial son would shout at her like this.
"You are shouting at me... all for a useless girl... I am your own mother! Do you think I would harm you?"
The old lady’s words rendered the policemen nearby and the viewers in front of the live stream speechless.
Collins Clark continued to roar in desperation and collapse, but the old lady, perhaps worried her son was too agitated, softened her tone.
"Am I such a cruel person? What happened to Ellie was an accident, and Peace... I didn’t mean to harm her, right? She has been found safe and sound, yet you still blame me..."
Towards the end, she even felt wronged.
Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but mock, "So we should thank you for not killing your little granddaughter?"
Just as Ariel Zimmerman uttered these words, the old lady glared at her venomously, "I’m talking to my son, what’s it to you?!"
Ariel Zimmerman was startled by her glare and instinctively took a step back, while Gregory Xander, seeing this, stepped forward expressionlessly, blocking her.
After the last encounter, he’d realized the fragility of this young girl.
The old lady’s venomous gaze earlier, what if she scared someone to tears again?
Scarlett Jennings also stepped forward, blocking the old lady’s gaze, looking at her before speaking.
"You didn’t directly kill your second granddaughter because her mother was too protective, you had no opportunity to act, and you were worried another move would arouse suspicion and get caught, so you sought out human traffickers to clear yourself of involvement."
She paused before continuing.
"As for how you connected with those traffickers... did you contact the same trafficker who sold the child to your family back then?"
Scarlett Jennings’ words left the policemen present surprised and looking at her, causing Collins Clark to appear dumbfounded, prompting Officer Yuan to directly ask her.
"Miss Jennings, what do you mean?"
Scarlett Jennings pointed at the old lady and stated.
"Her younger brother was kidnapped by traffickers, and all these years she has maintained contact with that trafficker’s family."
Even though many years had passed, that trafficker’s family may have ceased operations, they still have their "connections," and the old lady used that family to connect with the trafficker gang today.
The policemen didn’t expect this child abduction case to first lead to another child’s murder case and now the revelation of a kidnapping case decades earlier.
Their gaze at the old lady suddenly carried more disdain.
Though the old lady’s family didn’t engage in trafficking, the buyer of the child is also a party to the crime; moreover, that trafficker’s family may have sold countless children in all these years, and the broken families left behind are not just thousands.
She knew all this, yet never thought of reporting them, even keeping in touch for her own future "contingencies."
In front of the live stream, the viewers were completely ignited by anger.
They previously heard from Scarlett Jennings that today’s traffickers had human lives on their hands!
Children kidnapped during transportation often die due to various accidents, these deaths are the traffickers’ burden!
[For heaven’s sake! Just execute this old hag and those traffickers!]
[Traffickers deserve to be struck by lightning and thrown into the animal realm in the next life!]
[I’m crying from anger!]
[May there be no more trafficking in this mortal realm...]
The old lady and Collins Clark were soon taken back by the officers, armed with this lead, helping the police to continue their actions, striving to rescue the trafficked children and return them to their families...
The officers soon busied themselves with the case, while Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander planned to return to their own "posts."
As Gregory Xander turned, he saw Ariel Zimmerman with unusual silence on her face, thinking she was frightened by the old lady, hesitated for a moment, and handed her a calming talisman.
"This might help calm your nerves."
Ariel Zimmerman was stunned by the talisman, then smiled at Gregory Xander.
"I wasn’t scared."
She paused and then murmured softly, "I was just thinking, did Collins Clark really never suspect it was his mother who killed his own child?"
The daughter-in-law may have been deceived given a short time together, but the son grew up with the mother, even if the old lady concealed her favoritism for boys, her subconscious actions and words should be noticed by a son.
Collins Clark’s first child died in front of the old lady, did he really never suspect? Or was he unwilling and afraid to suspect?
Ariel Zimmerman’s words prompted those present and the live stream viewers to start contemplating with horror.
[Thinking about it, letting traffickers snatch a child from the mother is indeed terrifying.]
[Isn’t that because the mother protected the child too well daily?]
[Yes, but snatching a child from the mother can plunge the mother into lifelong guilt, as long as the old lady says, "It’s your fault for not protecting your child back then," the mother would be manipulated forever, wanting her to obediently have more children would be easy?]
[Oh dear! The mortal realm is frightening, hurry and send me reincarnating!]
Scarlett Jennings and the others no longer paid attention to the online bullet comments, seeing Gregory Xander and Ariel Zimmerman returning to the office hall, planning to head out again with the patrol group, when they reached the door, a small policeman returned several talisman papers to her.
Those were her immobilization talismans used on several traffickers earlier.
Those traffickers have been detained, naturally, the talisman should return to its owner.
Scarlett Jennings thanked the officer and reached out to take back the talisman papers, only to find she couldn’t pull it away.
The small policeman held onto those four immobilization talismans, gazing at her longingly, eventually speaking softly and bashfully.
"Um, can we... buy a few of your talismans?"
