After lunch, Alyssa and Sean headed straight for Mildred's home.

This area was a well-known slum in Solana City. The poverty, neglect, and chaos were even more desolate under a blanket of snow.

Mildred's family lived in a rundown house with dirty bricks on the rooftop, giving the impression that the entire structure might collapse with the slightest gust of wind.

"This is terrible. How could this be?" Sean shook his head, feeling indignant. "The victim's family lives in such dire conditions, and their lives have been shattered. Meanwhile, Justin continues to live as a high-and-mighty, well-respected scion, completely unpunished for his crime. Where is the justice?"

With a gloomy look in her eyes, Alyssa sighed. "How can an ordinary citizen fight against a powerful tycoon? This is only one case that you know of. There are countless other dehumanizing and immoral incidents in this world that remain hidden. Many people may never learn about them."

As Alyssa and Sean conversed, they soon found themselves at the door to Mildred's home.

"Who are you both looking for?" An old woman walked over with a walking stick. Noticing how well-dressed Alyssa and Sean were, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Hello, ma'am. We are looking for Mildred Hayes's mother. Her last name is Rollins. Do you know her?" Alyssa gave the old woman a friendly smile.

The old woman's expression shifted to alarm. "Why are you looking for her?"
