As soon as Shannon sent her message, several messages appeared in succession.
Cecily: "The program hasn't been axed?"
Caleb: "How's that possible?"
Scott: "I knew any program with Shannon in it wouldn't go down so easily!"
Hector: "Has Dad already made his move?"
Adam stared at Hector's message, unable to say anything. In truth, he'd yet to do anything.
If none of the Jensens had done anything, who was the one who'd helped save "Sixth Sense"?
They couldn't help placing their bets on the Turner family, just as Fred had. After all, Vincent's family was the only one—aside from the Jensens—who had the power to interfere in this. Still, it didn't matter who had helped out. What mattered was that everything had worked out well.
As the Jensens chatted away, Shannon received another text. This time, it was from Benjamin. "I heard something's gone wrong with the program. If you have any other plans or ideas, you can go straight to Wendy. She'll arrange whatever you need."
Shannon raised an eyebrow. It seemed to her that Benjamin was now paying more attention to her. He'd given her a present for getting into university, and now, he was offering to help her with the program.
Then, because of his relationship with Hector, she thought the latter had approached Benjamin for help. So, she said politely, "Thank you, but the problem has already been resolved. Filming will resume tomorrow."
Benjamin replied, "Okay."
The conversation ended there. The cars the crew had arranged to pick the cast up arrived at the mansion just then. Shannon bid everyone else farewell before returning to the Jensen residence.
Calvin found the dust a little familiar, but he said, "We haven't had time to clean the corpse since unearthing it."
"I wasn't talking about that." The person smiled but didn't show any intention of explaining further. He and his colleague merely shut the box. Then, he said, "Well, we'll be taking this with us. Our department will take charge of the investigation into the Sullivan residence from now on. Thanks for the hard work."
Calvin watched them leave, not thinking much of the situation. He told his subordinates to keep an eye on Soren's interrogation before leading a team to Soren's house to search for evidence.
The higher-ups viewed the serial murders of the young women with great importance because of the unrest it had caused. Now that they finally had a suspect, the team had to strike while the iron was hot. After all, thanks to "Sixth Sense", everyone and their mothers were talking about the case.
They had to solve the mystery as soon as possible.
As the police cars drove past a crossroads and turned the corner, they got caught in traffic.
