Bethany continued, “I'm telling you, Faye’s the most likely suspect. Especially since every security guard who
went looking for her that night was thoroughly checked, and nothing suspicious turned up. That just makes Faye
look even more questionable.”
Belinda, her tone steady and measured, said, “Enough. Let's leave it be. Lucas knows what's going on, and he'll

misunderstanding. | simply wished to engage Miss Wilde in pleasant, cordial conversation. Harassment never
crossed my mind, | assure you.”
Johnson remained indifferent to whether this man had truly intended to assault Zoie or not. Nevertheless, having
pushed open the private room door and witnessed the compromising scene unfolding before him, he couldn't
simply turn away and pretend nothing had occurred.

Johnson's attention shifted toward Zoie. “Do you want to call the police?”
The question seemed to strike Zoie like a physical blow. Her head shook in frantic refusal. “Absolutely not! We
