“She’s fine.

It was fortunate that Mr.

Roberts happened to be there last night, too.

He was able to deal with those delinquents, but he assigned me with the task to investigate and replace out whoever was behind the attack.

” As Flynn spoke, he also tried to discern Eleanor’s expression.

Eleanor appeared relieved, if anything.

“Well, it’s good to know that she’s all right.

Then, it registered in Eleanor’s mind the reason why Flynn would go to her and ask her questions.

All of a sudden, she expressed disbelief towards him.

“Wait a minute.

You thought I was the one who hired the gangsters to attack Lucinda? That’s why you came to me, isn’t it?”

Flynn said nothing, but what he meant was clear.

If it weren’t for the situation, he would have never suspected Eleanor in a million years.

But on that day, he had informed Eleanor that Nathaniel went to Angle Intl to see Lucinda, and she was attacked by a group of bad guys soon after.

Flynn couldn’t believe it was just a coincidence.

But he didn’t want to believe Eleanor could be involved, either.

Eleanor looked hurt and sad.

“You’re my best friend, Flynn.

How could you suspect me of something so terrible? I would never do something like that to Lucinda, even if I was aware of where she was, which I wasn’t!”

His heart softened at her words.

“I know you’re a good person, Eleanor.

You can’t do that kind of thing.

But did you inform anyone else about it?”

She hesitated for a moment.

Flynn’s suspicion was making her nervous.

If she didn’t give him any useful information, he might go through her recent calls and replace out something incriminating.

So, she had no choice but to throw someone else under the bus.

Eleanor pretended to ponder for a moment, and then an idea popped into her head.

“I was feeling pretty down that day.

I called Vivien and talked to her about it…”

She quickly shook her head.

“No, no, no.

Vivien is not capable of something like this.

I trust her.

Flynn felt at ease when he heard that Eleanor had nothing to do with the incident.

“Miss Turner, you’re a good person, but not everyone is as kind-hearted as you.

After expressing his concern, Flynn left the hotel and instructed his team to investigate the Roberts family.

He made sure to keep Eleanor’s name out of the incident by taking care of anything that could connect it to her.

Once he was gone, Eleanor’s anger boiled over.

She stomped her foot on the ground.
