“Is that so?“
Luna chuckled gently. She took her phone out and dialed a number.
“Officer James, could you tell me once more the message that you sent me just now?“
Officer James, on the other end of the line, was quiet for a while before calmly saying, “Ms. Luna, you
asked about the people who beat up Ms. Irene Cook last night. We’ve apprehended them. They admitted
that someone got them to deliberately mention your name while beating her up so that the victim would
be mistaken. As for who ordered them to beat Ms. Irene up, we’ve found out that it came from a number
from our neighboring Sea City. The person spoke to them last night. We’re currently trying to locate this
person via their IP address…“
“Okay, thank you, Officer James.“
Once Luna hung up the call, she sneered and looked at Irene, who was kneeling on the floor in a daze. “
This entire morning, you gathered and protested in front of my design department. It was not as if I did
nothing.
“I personally contacted Officer James who was overseeing his case. The result I got was that those who
beat you up were ordered by someone from Sea City. I, on the other hand, was eating at the hotel with
you last night. You know this, too. I couldn’t have flown to Sea City to make a call to harm you.“
Irene was completely stunned.
“So…t—this morning…and the WhatsApp account…“
Luna laughed. “If the people that beat you up last night have nothing to do with me, do you think that the
number this morning would be from me?“
Luna yawned. “Irene, your make-up skills are pretty good. If you were to use this skill in the right place,
you’d be a great special effects make-up artist. Too bad you used this skill to cheat others. This won’t
end well for you.“
Then, Luna returned to her seat. “Samson made you apologize to me, but I thought it was unnecessary.
You loathe me deep in your heart, and your sorries won’t be sincere. I don’t need them, anyway. The
police should be here at any moment. What you need to do is not apologize to me, but to explain to them
why you bring a group of people to create havoc in m y office. Also, why did you spread those rumors
and try to smear my reputation?“
Upon her words, there was a knock on the design department’s main entrance door.
“Hello, we’re the police. Ms. Luna called for us.“
Irene’s face was so pale there was not an ounce of blood left in her face.
She directly knelt on the ground and vehemently prostrated herself at Luna.
“Ms. Luna, please let me go, I’m still young! I promise I won’t do this again! Ms. Luna, I—“
Before Irene could finish her sentence, Samson opened the door. The police entered and checked
Irene’s identity before taking her and the dozen men she brought along away.
Everyone in the office was on the edge. Everyone got busy.
When the police took them away, it was almost noon. Luna put her pen down. “Let’s go have lunch.”
Then, she followed Samson, Arianna, and Zayne out.
When she was by the entrance, Joshua, who had been silent all this while, reached out and stopped her.
“I have something to say to you.”
Luna furrowed her brows. “Mr. Lynch, whatever you have to say, you can say it.”
Joshua had been protecting Alice so obviously that day. It was not as if she did not notice.
Luna did not want to talk much to Joshua.
“Are you sure?” Joshua calmly swept a glance at Luna’s three assistants before looking at her once
more. “It has to do with Neil and Nellie. Are you sure you want them to hear this?”
