“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.
