Lina was taken aback. "What?"
"The brand manager of LC Skincare specifically retrieved the store surveillance footage," Carter explained. "The footage showed that two employees colluded and placed the fake face cream on the counter with markings on the packaging. The cream didn't sell until your classmate, Chapman, walked into the duty-free shop and specifically asked for it. That's when they sold it to her.
"And the substance in the face cream is actually a type of drug. It's added after being highly refined, causing a chemical reaction. Just a small amount is enough to make the skin ulcerate and never recover."
Zuko furrowed his brow. "Uncle Carter, have you found out who those two people are?"
"Of course," Carter smiled. "Those two individuals were captured during the police operation to apprehend Justin."
Zuko and Lina were both stunned.
"They... are Justin's henchmen?"
"That's correct."
"So you mean..." Lina's expression changed slightly. "Gia not only has a connection with Melvin but also with Justin?"
"Yes," Zuko said in a low voice. "It just goes to show how cunning she is! She was deceiving you while using these people to harm you!"
Lina fell silent.
Melvin and Justin were captured in this operation, but there was no conclusive evidence to arrest Gia. A piece of surveillance footage could not prove much. Moreover, those two employees had already become scapegoats. It seemed that it would take more time to get rid of Gia.
"Don't think too much about it," Zuko reassured, patting her shoulder. "Leave this to me. I'll deal with her."
"What can you do?"
