âSheâs 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 find out whoever was behind the attack.
â As Flynn spoke, he also tried to discern Eleanorâs expression.
Eleanor appeared relieved, if anything.
âWell, itâs good to know that sheâs all right.
â
Then, it registered in Eleanorâs mind the reason why Flynn would go to her and ask her questions.
All of a sudden, she expressed disbelief towards him.
âWait a minute.
You thought I was the one who hired the gangsters to attack Lucinda? Thatâs why you came to me, isnât it?â
Flynn said nothing, but what he meant was clear.
If it werenât 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 couldnât believe it was just a coincidence.
But he didnât want to believe Eleanor could be involved, either.
Eleanor looked hurt and sad.
âYouâre 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 wasnât!â
His heart softened at her words.
âI know youâre a good person, Eleanor.
You canât do that kind of thing.
But did you inform anyone else about it?â
She hesitated for a moment.
Flynnâs suspicion was making her nervous.
If she didnât give him any useful information, he might go through her recent calls and find 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.
âI was feeling pretty down that day.
I called Vivien and talked to her about itâ¦â
She quickly shook her head.
âNo, no, no.
Vivien is not capable of something like this.
I trust her.
â
Flynn felt at ease when he heard that Eleanor had nothing to do with the incident.
âMiss Turner, youâre a good person, but not everyone is as kind-hearted as you.
â
After expressing his concern, Flynn left the hotel and instructed his team to investigate the Roberts family.
He made sure to keep Eleanorâs name out of the incident by taking care of anything that could connect it to her.
Once he was gone, Eleanorâs anger boiled over.
She stomped her foot on the ground.
