Chapter 30:
Personnel Transfer
Half a month later, at the core area of the Rose Prison.
"Hey, it's the Shitty Warden!"
"The Prison Chief is here again today. Your complexion doesn't look too good, is your health not doing well?"
"If you've got the guts, come here, you brat. Watch me twist your head off!"
...
Accompanied by Franda, Aiden walked leisurely through the corridor, inspecting the noisy core area of the prison as usual.
"Wait a moment, Lord Aiden!" When passing Room 13, Fei, leaned on the railing as usual and said in a coquettish tone, "I have something important to tell you!"
Aiden immediately gave her a cold look. "What, don't tell me you're also going to claim you're innocent and want me to clear your name for you?"
"Huh? How did you know?" Fei, who had her line stolen, was a bit puzzled.
"After five times in and out from here, how could I not know you? I can tell what kind of crap you're going to drop just by the way you pout!" Aiden retorted impatiently. "Want me to clear your name? Don't even think about it!"
"Lord Aiden, it's not fair. We're so familiar with each other, can't you give me a chance? You helped that wolf girl the first time she came in." Fei pouted unhappily.
"Don't think just because your roommate is gone, you have a chance. When have you ever not been in trouble for real?" Aiden kicked the cell door. "Now you're living it up in a double room all by yourself, don't act all innocent."
After saying this, Aiden left Fei behind and continued to patrol deeper into the corridor.
"It's been a week, hasn't she come back to see you?" Franda, who was following behind, casually asked.
"No, let alone a meeting, i didn't even receive a thank-you letter. She's really an ungrateful woman." Aiden shook his head.
A week ago, Veronica left the prison to attend a retrial.
Considering the high likelihood of her case being overturned, Veronica said goodbye in advance to Aiden, who came to see her off.
At the time, she said that if she could get out, she would definitely come back to thank Aiden in person.
Throughout the entire positive report, Veronica was almost depicted as a saint. Not a word was mentioned about her lycanthropic heritage.
Aiden remembered seeing a journalist's snapshot of Veronica's fierce expression when she resisted arrest in the "Silver City Daily news" back when he first started paying attention to her case.
At that time, the headline of the newspaper read, "Murderous Rogue Cop Falls into the Net of the Law, Transforms into a Malicious Wolf to Resist Arrest."
Aiden carefully scanned through the report and finally found a part in Veronica's interview that mentioned him.
"Thanks to the Warden of the Rose Prison for going to great lengths on my behalf, allowing me to be vindicated," it was the only mention of him in the entire report. The reporter probably thought he just helped deliver Veronica's retrial application.
"After all that fuss, my 'role' turned out to be so little." Aiden sighed as he held his teacup.
Regardless, that girl really seemed a bit unreasonable. Even if she didn't want to come back to the prison, she could have at least privately thanked him or At the very least sent a letter....
He continued reading, and saw Veronica talking about her future career plans: "...The Mounted Police have reinstated my position and informed me that I can return at any time, but other agencies have also extended invitations to me."
After this incident, the image of the Mounted Police took a nosedive, but Veronica herself, as the victim, gained widespread attention.
If she chooses to return to the Mounted Police, they might offer her a compensatory promotion, to eagerly restore its image.
If she has intentions of transferring to a unit with better conditions, there should be many agencies willing to take advantage of the opportunity for some publicity—overall, her future looks bright.
there probably won't be much interaction In the future... Aiden thought to himself as he put down the newspaper.
At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
As soon as the words were spoken, Franda pushed open the door and handed him a document. "Sir, this!"
"A personnel transfer request? What's this, someone wants to transfer out again?" Aiden immediately noticed the document's headline.
"No, someone is applying to transfer to our unit. Take a look at the name!" Franda urged.
"Hmm?" Aiden followed her gaze to the section with the applicant's name, and was momentarily stunned. Then, he burst out laughing. "This girl..."
Under the section for the applicant, his very familiar name was boldly written—Veronica Wolfe. The handwriting was exactly the same as the signature on the retrial application he remembered.
